12	----
13	* AmbidextrousSprite: She has a strand of of her hair that bends upward and bangs which go diagonally across her face. While they're on and toward the right side of her head (her perspective) when she's shown from in front, they otherwise flip around to what side would be in the background.
14	* AmbiguouslyBrown: She looks vaguely Asian with a bit of Native-American. We learn in "Recipe for Dee-saster" that she is at least one quarter Polish.
15	* BrainyBrunette: She is the brains behind ''The Dee Show''.
16	* ButtMonkey: Things rarely go right for her. For example, the end of "A Friend in Dee" was Parker watching Simon's expose of a third-world spa she went to on a serious news channel... only it turned out it was accidentally footage of her being interrupted while getting a bikini wax.
17	* ByronicHero: She's the protagonist but she has a slew of personal problems relating to low self esteem and overall bad decisions that wrecks her life and affect her success.

19	* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: A few women have found Parker attractive.
20	* EvilLaugh: Indulged in "Bully for Parker" when her plan to get to revenge on her high school bully is ready, [[ScaryFlashlightFace while shining a flashlight upon her face from underneath for added effect]].

25	* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Parker wants to find "Mr. Right". However, her own neurotic tendencies leads to her forming dysfunctional relationships with men like her fitness trainer and new employees that end in failure and her workaholic nature ruining her chance of finding a better mate.
26	* TomboyishName: "Parker" is rarely used as a girl's name.
27	* WeirdnessMagnet: Most, if not all of the craziness in the show is centered around her.
28	* {{Workaholic}}: Despite languishing as the producer of ''The Dee Show'', Parker usually insists she loves her job and keeps doing it. She is certainly aware and regrets the effect this has caused on her personal life, though.

42	The alcoholic, self-absorbed and high maintenance host of ''The Dee Show''.
43	----
44	* TheAlcoholic:
45	** She's more or less never without a cocktail glass. If she isn't, she's just downing an entire bottle instead.
46	** In "Age Dee-fying", she goes missing leaving Parker to use Massimo to follow her scent to find her around the world... and the very obvious thick line of empty alcohol bottles she left her in wake.
47	* AllWomenAreLustful: She'll attempt to seduce any attractive male guest on her show, even if said guest is married.
48	* AttentionWhore: A number of episodes are her insisting ''The Dee Show'''s staff do something for her to get into a recent trend to help her stay in the spotlight.
49	* BerserkButton:
50	** Mentioning Victoria. ''It once gave her a HollywoodHeartAttack''!
51	** Anyone who implies she's not perfect for whatever reason sends her into fury. This is ''incredibly'' frequent among the episodes.
52	** A co-worker guessed her age was 50 on her birthday. It appeared to cause Dee to breath fire on them like a giant monster.
53	* DramaQueen: Anything going contrary to her hopes sends her into loud sobbing and [[TheAlcoholic drinking even more heavily]]. This is usually preceded with [[HairTriggerTemper wailing in anger]] too.
54	* DrivesLikeCrazy: Dee reads a book she has to know for her next show in "Eat, Pray, Parker" while driving to work - it's appropriately wild and incites a police car to chase her until it crashes trying. [[DrunkDriver She also takes a drink while driving]], which is probably happens all the time, [[TheAlcoholic knowing her]].
55	* DumbassHasAPoint: In "Eat, Pray, Parker", Dee figured out Jackie Cartwright [[spoiler:is actually a man pretending to be a woman.]]
56	* FemaleMisogynist: While she hosts a feminist talk show, she shows that she couldn't care less about other women and often uses them to her advantage.

59	* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: Her waist's thinnest part is ''half'' as wide as her breasts and hips.
60	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
61	** In "And Dee Winner Is...", after going to Losers Anonymous and mellowing out (temporarily), Dee heard about Parker failing to find clothes to wear for attending the Blabby Awards and gives her a dress.
62	** When Russell says he realizes he's being bullied in his life in "Bully for Parker", Dee gets angrily suggests she'll slit the throat of whoever's doing it with a nail file... well, until [[KickTheDog he tells her that it's her and she proceeds to fire him]].
63	* ItsAllAboutMe: ''Very much so''.
64	--> ''Here at Dee, we believe in beauty...and by we, I mean ''me''.''
65	* LargeHam: When she's not in a small conversation, she's overacting. And it's not unlikely she's overacting in a conversation anyway.
66	* RaisedByWolves: She was raised by a family of cougars. [[LiteralMetaphor That's not just an]] IncrediblyLamePun.
67	* ReallyGetsAround: It's not uncommon for her to mention how she has a lot of sex. While not always proven, it's implied to not be just bragging.
68	* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Her eyes are green, her red hair however is a wig. Of course, considering how she's an AttentionWhore, the choice of a red wig to go with her green eyes could be an InvokedTrope.
69	* SmugSmiler: Dee's smile is more self-satisfied than joyous. When she ''is'' joyous, you can be sure it's for an [[ItsAllAboutMe especially selfish reason]].
70	* VagueAge: Her true age is a ''very'' well kept secret. The episode "Age Dee-fying" has Parker say asking Dee's age is forbidden ''by contract''.

75	----
76	* EccentricMillionaire: The first episode has him suggest to his executives that his network try to cash in on fake reality shows by making a weekly show where in one of said executives go in a tank with a live shark. He responds to their terrified fleeing with "Well gentlemen, think it over, get back to me in five.". In "And Dee Winner Is...", he joins the office betting pool of the Blabby Awards for Dee hitting Victoria with a bottle at the awards' presentation.
77	* ObliviousToLove: He has no idea Parker has a crush on him.
78
79	!!Simon
80	-->'''Voiced by:''' Aaron Abrams
81	Parker's co-worker who serves as the writer for ''The Dee Show''. He aspires to work on hard hitting news instead of writing segments for a talk show.
82	----
83	* AmbiguouslyBrown: Has light-brown skin of indeterminant origin.
84	* BrilliantButLazy
85	* DeadpanSnarker: Most of his dialog is sarcastic.
86	* HiddenDepths: Simon decries the book 'Feast, Ride, Salsa' when he first hears about it but reads it as necessary to write the author's appearance for ''The Dee Show''. He calls it "populist drivel" and says it didn't do much for him but [[DescriptionCut then it cuts to him sobbing "I'll never meet a woman like that!"]].
87	* OnlySaneMan: The most level-headed person on staff on ''The Dee Show''.
88	* RealMenWearPink:
89	* TheSlacker: Compared to Parker going about doing what needs doing, Simon's standard pose is leaning back on his chair lazily.
90	* StalkerWithACrush: For Mimi Chui. The pictures he takes of her in "Recipe For Dee-saster" are so extensive, they count as an alibi proving she couldn't have went and poisoned Dee.
