3	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
4	Our protagonist
5	----
6	* AbusiveParents: His father isn't shown to be very good to him. Danny himself is far from a model parent, regularly verbally abusing his son and occasionally physically abusing him. It's all PlayedForLaughs, though.
7	* AmbiguouslyGay: {{Played for Laughs}} in "Sus Moments", which revolves around him spewing out a lot of {{Double Entendre}}s.
8	--> '''Danny's Son:''' "Well if you refuse to vote for nice people, you could end up with a bunch of dicks in charge!"
9	--> '''Danny:''' "I prefer dicks..."
10	--> '''(Cameraman starts {{corpsing}})'''
11	--> '''Danny:''' (Slams his fist on the recliner) "Dammit! Do not post that!"
12	* {{Angrish}}: Danny has a penchant for this. "SHIT! Murwargfuh FUCK!"
13	* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: As shown during the outing to a grocery store and [=McDonald's=] as well as the road rage segment.
14	* TheAlcoholic: Danny, who is almost always seen with a beer bottle. The official website claims that his behavior is likely influenced more by his drinking than his Tourette's.
15	* BerserkButton / HairTriggerTemper : Danny has tons of things that can set him off:
16	** Talking shit about Total cereal around Danny.
17	** Talking about Danny's dick without his permission.
18	** Wrinkling Danny's Randy Travis poster.
19	** Pissing on Danny's toilet seat.
20	** Hiding Danny's car keys. (Then again, that's probably for his own good if he gets drunk all the time)
21	** Squirrels humping Danny's tomato garden.
22	** Having bad-looking sideburns in front of Danny.
23	** When Danny's Dairy Queen ice cream melts.
24	** Trying to convince Danny to have something he doesn't want to eat.
25	** Interfering with Danny's favorite TV shows or not knowing about them yourself.
26	** Playing loud music in the vicinity of Danny.
27	* BigNo: Let's out one when a grocer tries to take away Danny's marshmallows.
28	** When Danny's son wants to have him try some Twizzler's, he does it thrice. And when that doesn’t work to get his son to quit, he screams out [[PrecisionFStrike “butt fuck!”]] instead.
29	* ButtMonkey: Danny is on the receiving end of a lot physical comedy: his chair falls over, his beer spews foam on him, a bird flies into his face, he bangs his head on a chandelier, he drunkenly falls down stairs, a supermarket cardboard standup falls on him, and more. The cameraman sometimes takes punishment, too.
30	* {{Catchphrase}}: “OH, [[Creator/BobSaget BOB SAGET]]!!” and "Suck my dick... or cock!"
31	* DeadpanSnarker: Occasionally, he'll have just enough wit for a good comeback.
32	-->'''Danny''': You're a stupid pecker!\
33	'''Danny's son''': I'm telling mom!\
34	'''Danny''': She already knows!
35	* DiscoDan: Seems to be stuck in the 80s.
36	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "Suck my dick...or cock!"
37	* {{Dissimile}}: Danny loves using these.
38	* FreudianExcuse: Considering what his father is like, Danny probably has a pretty good one.
39	* FourEyesZeroSoul: A downplayed example, he wears glasses and is very anti-social.
40	* HollywoodTourettes: Surprisingly downplayed, as Danny's potty mouth is said to have a number of factors behind it, Tourette's Syndrome only being one of them. He also displays other symptoms of the condition besides coprolalia, such as involuntary head movements (Hence his iconic neck brace). A good chunk of the series' humor is still derived from him swearing at inopportune moments, however.
41	* HypocriticalHumor: Danny admonishes his son for saying "shit", after saying it six times since he entered the room.
42	-->'''Danny''': I don't hate gays, [[ImmediateSelfContradiction but if some faggot ever tries to touch me]]...
43	** Danny wears glasses, but that doesn't stop him from calling Creator/RickMoranis "four eyes".
44	** Calls an angry janitor, who has a beer belly but some buff arms, a fatass, while Danny...is fat.
45	* {{Jerkass}}: Danny, so much, crosses into this trope, as he often curses at others (though, given his defense of Total cereal to indicate he may have a 'cool book' and his angry nature, it may be that one has to bother him first, though he was after random people in an episode past his return) and even laughed when Shirlena was telling a sad story about her grandfather's Alzheimer's. [[RuleOfFunny But it's part of the humor.]]
46	* NoIndoorVoice: He often shouts most of his lines.
47	-->'''Danny's Son''': Dad, there's some [[ItMakesSenseInContext white stuff on the floor]]....
48	-->'''Danny''': '''''THAT'S MY ASS!!!'''''
49	* ParentalNeglect: His response to hearing that his son fell down the stairs?
50	-->'''Danny:''' Well QUIT IT!\
51	([[HypocriticalHumor close up of mug that reads "World's Greatest Dad"]])
52	* PetTheDog:
53	** Despite all his nastiness he doesn't have anything against homosexuals, unless they try to touch him first, but that's really unlikely too.
54	** When his ex-wife is discussing her concerns regarding her parents' health problems, he does at least try and point out that she has other family members and relatives who'll still care for her.
55	** When he unintentionally insults the dad of two men who invited him over for dinner, upon being told that "the faggot with the tuba" was the two men's dad, he immediately apologizes.
56	* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Downplayed. He uses homophobic slurs a lot, even in times where it's ''far'' less acceptable, but he posits that he doesn't hate gays... provided they don't touch him.
57	* TooDumbToLive: He's really not too bright, and on a few occasions, he's gotten into potentially lethal situations. Case in point, he carries a hot casserole dish without hot pads, and [[BullyingADragon gets into a fight with a janitor who could have very easily beaten him within an inch of his life]].
58	* TookALevelInKindness: Not by much, but he seems to have stopped being physically abusive to his son for the most part in recent years, and gave him some sage dating advice.
59	* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: He's a jerk but funny stuff happens to him.
60	* WordSaladHumor: A lot of the series' humor comes from his utterly nonsensical swearing.
61	-->Go count your ''dick!''\
62	The George Foreman grill just took a ''SHIT!''\
63	And then I caught him in the backyard... ''MAKING AN ASS!''\
64	It's what happens when Alex Trebek has a picture of a giraffe in his ass during an earthquake!

67	[[folder:The Tourettes Guy's dad]]
68	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tourettesguyfather.jpg]]
69	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
70	Danny's dad, who's waa~y meaner than him
71	-----

73	* ActorAllusion: His actor, Sal Lizard, actually was a MallSanta for much of his life, and also starred in ''The Vampire Santa'' as the eponymous monster.

80	(later)\
81	'''Danny's son:''' It says here that Series/DrPhil was in a porno movie.\
82	'''Tourette's Guy's Dad:''' I believe it, [[TakeThat because Dr. Phil is a biiiig dick]]!
83	* FatBastard: Even more than Danny.
84	* GrumpyOldMan: What do you expect from the father of The Tourettes Guy?
85	* HypocriticalHumour: This line "So you wanna talk some shit, huh baldy?" Despite being bald himself.
86	* {{Jerkass}}: To everyone around him.
87	* MallSanta: Is called one by Danny: "Fuck you and every mall Santa that looks like you!". [[BerserkButton Big mistake]].

89	* StoutStrength: Husky but he will kick your ass if you piss him off.
90	* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: He lives by this trope.
91	[[/folder]]
92
93	[[folder:Shirlena]]
94	Danny's wife or, depending on the ep, ex-wife
95	----
96	* BelligerentSexualTension: With Danny.
97	* [[HeWhoMustNotBeSeen She Who Must Not Be Seen]]: We never see her face.
98	* OnlySaneWoman: Compared to Danny, who's angry all the time.
99	* ReallyGetsAround: Danny claims that Shirlena "fucking everyone in Bismarck" is the reason why they divorced.
100	* WomenAreWiser: She is the only female in the family and is more reasonable than her son and husband.
101	[[/folder]]
102
103	[[folder:The Tourettes Guy's Son]]
104	Danny's son. Unlike Danny and his grandpa, he's more li'l more timid.
105	----
106	* BigYes: He lets out one when Danny allows him to buy some popcorn in "Can't Take Him Anywhere.
107	* CallingTheOldManOut: He gives Danny a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech when the latter rejects a breakfast meal that he made for him in "Tourettes Guy Gets The Hiccups":
108	--> Well, you know what, Dad? You're nothing but a no-good, inbred, drunk piece of crap!
109	* DoesNotLikeSpam: He doesn't like Total.
110	* FanBoy: Of Music/LimpBizkit and WWE Smackdown.

112	* WackyParentSeriousChild: He's the Serious Child to Danny's Wacky Parent.
113	[[/folder]]
114
115	[[folder:The Cameraman]]
116	The man responsible for sharing Danny's antics with the world.
117	----
118	* AmbiguouslyRelated: It's unclear what exactly he's doing in Danny's house to begin with, especially since it's implied he doesn't live there. He may be a relative, a caretaker, or simply a family friend.
119	* BigEater: Allegedly visited Danny's house one day and helped himself to 6 pancakes, 6 sausages, and three glasses of orange juice. Though, given that we only hear a second-hand account of this from Danny, he may have been exaggerating.
120	* FirstPersonSmartass: Will often directly comment on whatever situation Danny has gotten himself into.
121	* TheGadfly: Sometimes goes out of his way to aggravate Danny for the sake of comedy.
122	* TheHyena: While most characters find Danny annoying at best, the cameraman is usually more amused than anything. His amusement has gotten him {{Death Glare}}s and worse from Danny.
123	* IronButtmonkey: Tends to end up on the receiving end of Danny's more violent outbursts, be it intentionally or simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, having fallen down the stairs while being chased by him (and having a shoe thrown at him afterward), smacked with a broom, and knocked into a pile of empty beer cans by a box fan that Danny threw, to name a few moments.
124	* OutOfCharacterMoment: The normally mischievous cameraman displays ''genuine fear'' while being chased by Danny's dad after dropping him while trying to help him off the floor, going so far as to run out to his car and drive away at top speed.
125	[[/folder]]
126
127	[[folder:The Bird]]
128	Some random bird that flew in the house and Danny's more-or-less archnemesis (but this is mostly one-sided).
129	----
130	* BadassAdorable
131	* KillerRabbit: A cute little bird who defeated a fully grown enraged man.
132	* PintSizePowerHouse: A small bird that managed to dodge all of Danny's attacks and knocked him out with a hit to the face.
