!The Three Friends and Jerry
[[folder: Jerry]]
An imaginative boy with a love for ants. He's the new kid in town and desperately wants to join the Three Friends, but they do not see him as part of their group.
----
* ButtMonkey: Most of his plans fail spectacularly, is tricked into crossdressing, accidentally squashed his pet ant, went OutOfFocus for several episodes, the Three Friends truly don't consider them part of the gang... poor boy.
* BlatantLies: Has a habit of telling these often in order to try to sound cool. Most people don't buy it, but they sometimes humor him just to watch him fail to live up to them.
* CatchPhrase: "'Sup !" and variations of it
* DeadpanSnarker: When he isn't bossed around by the Three Friends, he's snarking at them.
* DecoyProtagonist: Starts to fall seriously OutOfFocus in Season 3. It gets so bad that he occasionally doesn't even appear at all.
* TheGadfly: While he's generally the one getting egged on, he takes on this role towards Frank in "Glasses" and "Cockatoo".
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: The other guys have no problem making fun of him to his face and are generally very vocal about how stupid and annoying they find him.
* FriendToBugs: He's fascinated with ants and raises them. And if "My Friend is an Ant" is any indication, they also love him back.
* TheScapegoat: Jerry is always blamed for any misfortune that befalls the Three Friends, whether he really is at fault or not.
* StrawLoser: He pretty much exists to be humiliated.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: While the first few occasions he dressed in drag were due to Frank's meddling, he willingly tries to dress as a girl in "Forbidden Fruit".

[[folder: Frank]]
The short-tempered leader of the Three Friends. He ineffectively tries to win Linda's heart despite the fact they are actually cousins.

* BreakoutCharacter: Jerry is supposedly the main character, but Ftrank quickly took the center stage in later seasons.
* ButtMonkey: His attempts to woo, impress, or otherwise have fun with Linda always end in humiliation, disappointment, and a near-death experience.

* {{Gonk}}: Downplayed. While not quite ugly, on a show with UglyCute characters, he still manages to look fairly dumpy and unappealing.
* {{Jerkass}}: A mild case. He likes to give Jerry a hard time and can be outright cruel to other people, but "Cockatoo" shows a lot of this stems from his lack of empathy rather than outright malice.

* HiddenDepths: Has a fascination for ostriches and is almost as bad as Jerry's love for ants. He's also a good artist, but he is self-conscious and feels that he needs to hide his creative nature.
* TheLancer: Together with Eric they serve as this to both Frank and Jerry, being (usually) the more calm of the four, but also providing back up whenever they need it. They also rarely instigate the plot, and instead follow along with whatever is currently happening.
* NeverBareHeaded: Never takes off his green baseball cap and when he does the camera is arranged so you never see what's under his cap.
* SkewedPriorities: In "Our Son is an Ostrich" he doesn't seem to care about his injuries or the fact his parents never visited at the hospital due to confusing him with an ostrich, only that the eponymous bird stole his hat.

Frank's other lackey, who's good at sports.
