On ''SNL'', Sudeikis is known for his recurring characters Vance[[note]]the break dancer on ''What Up With That''?[[/note]], the Male A-Hole in the short-lived "Two A-Holes" sketches with Kristen Wiig, The Devil[[note]]a Weekend Update character who calls out all the evil acts and scandals on Earth.

** SethMacFarlane was Tim the Bear [[note]](the voice he uses here doesn't sound like any of his past characters [Seth himself said he based it on a botched impression of the Fenstruk Brothers from ''SaturdayNightLive''], which is why it's such a surprise when people find out that SethMacFarlane is in this show too as a voice actor, as opposed to just an executive producer and occasional writer)[[/note]] from seasons one to half of season four. From the second half of season four to the end, Tim the Bear was voiced by Jess Harnell ([[WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether Captain Hero]], [[{{WesternAnimation/Animaniacs}} Wakko Warner]]).

* TalkingToHimself: Played straight with Mike Henry, whenever Cleveland and Rallo interact with each other. Averted mostly with SethMacFarlane, who only voiced Tim the Bear and Dr. Fist (until he found replacement voice actors for those characters). Compare with ''FamilyGuy'' and ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', where [=MacFarlane=] voices a sizeable amount of male characters, mostly the father of the family[[note]]Peter Griffin and Stan Smith[[/note]], the bizarre live-in guest of the house[[note]]Brian the talking dog, and Roger the alien[[/note]], the next-door neighbor with a sexual side[[note]]Quagmire, a serial rapist who's into all kinds of kinky stuff, and Greg Corbin, a gay man who's in a committed relationship[[/note]], and a newscaster character[[note]]Tom Tucker and Greg Corbin[[/note]].

*** Seth [=MacFarlane=] was also one of three voice actors for resident physician, Dr. Fist. TomKenny ([[RockosModernLife Heffer Wolfe]], [[{{Futurama}} Abner Doubledeal]], [[TheHauntingHourTheSeries Uncle Howee]], and SpongebobSquarepants himself) was the first replacement voice for Dr. Fist (he filled in for Seth when Seth was busy with the movie, ''Ted''), then when Dr. Fist was given his own episode, Bryan Cranston ([[Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle Hal]] and [[Series/BreakingBad Walter White]]) became the new voice of the doctor until the series ended.

** Former cast member Will Forte (Forte left ''SNL'' after its 35th season) voices Principal Wally (using a higher-pitched version of the voice he used for Stuart Proszackian from ''SitDownShutUp'') and other characters. On ''SNL'', Forte's popular recurring characters were [=MacGruber=], a ''MacGyver'' expy (and one of many recurring ''SNL'' characters to have his own movie), the first announcer for ''What Up With That''[[note]]Taran Killam has since replaced him[[/note]], The Falconer[[note]]a businessman who inexplicably abandoned his successful life and now lives in the woods with his falcon[[/note]], and crooked politician Tim Calhoun. His notable celebrity impressions were Zell Miller, LorneMichaels[[note]]as he was in the 1970s, when his hair had color and he didn't wear suits[[/note]], Greg Allman, Benny Hill, John Edwards, and was one of the four cast members to replace WillFerrell as GeorgeWBush.
