5!!Adam Young
6->'''Portrayed by:''' Brendan Meyer
7* ButtMonkey: Adam himself more often than not, being antagonized by his boss and variously ignored, insulted, pranked and thwarted by Derby.
8** IronButtmonkey: So far he's been struck by lightning, fought an Alligator, taken multiple weights being dropped upon him, fallen out of a building, been thrown around and about a dozen other things, and he's yet to break a single bone.
9* CrazyJealousGuy: Towards Echo, PlayedForLaughs.
10* CovertPervert
11* [[spoiler: FirstKiss: With Echo in ''Mr. First Impression.]]
12* GradeSkipper: By the time Adam Young was old enough to be a High School student, he was a ''teacher''.
13* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Adam is ordinarily the most rational character on the show, but that disappears the moment his crush on Echo gets involved. Reaches LoveMakesYouEvil levels at times, like in "Mr. Shakespeare" when he tries to murder Hutch to prevent him from kissing Echo in the school play.
14* MadScientist: Comes off as this at times, he uses Derby as a guinea pig.
15* MeaningfulName: He's the youngest teacher at the school at only 14 years old.
16* MultiDisciplinaryScientist: Adam is master of pretty much what ever field of science is useful to there present situation, be it chemistry, Biology, Genetics, Neurobiology, Psychology etc. However he does seem best at and prefers physics.
17* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler: With Echo.]]
18* OnlySaneMan: Compared to the rest of the cast, he and Echo are the only ones who aren't completely doolally.
19* TheSmartGuy: How do you think he ended up being a teacher ?
20* StudentTeacherRomance: Would like one with Echo, [[spoiler:eventually gets it]]. Thankfully not as weird as most examples due to them being the same age.

22!!Echo Zizzleswift
23->'''Portrayed by:''' Matreya Fedor
24* AllLoveIsUnrequited: [[spoiler: Or is it?]]
25* BigDamnKiss
26* BrainyBrunette: Downplayed. She's of fairly average intelligence, but given how dumb most of the rest of the cast are, she's still one of the smart ones by comparison.
27* GranolaGirl
28* HiddenDepths: She's a {{Franchise/StarWars}} fan.
29** Not just star wars, she practically obsessed with all forms of fantasy and science fiction, to the point where she can speak over a dozen fictional languages and has seen nearly every science fiction film there is. She also likes Fantasy Role play.
30* MeaningfulName: Adam tends to agree (or pretend to agree) with everything she says, that is to say he ''echoes'' her opinions.
31* NiceGirl
32* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler: With Adam.]]
33* OnlySaneMan: Along with Adam, a recurring gag is her staring in shock, disbelief and just plain confusion whenever the others around pull off their ridiculous (or even impossible) antics.
34* [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude Who Names Their Kid Echo?]]
35
36!!Derby
37->'''Portrayed by:''' Gig Morton
38* AllMenArePerverts
39* BrilliantButLazy: Occasionally implied, several of his schemes are unnaturally complicated. One episode showed that if he was motivated enough he could create a fully-functional jetpack, which ran on a fuel source that hadn't even been proven to exist until then.
40* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
41* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: As his wrestling persona "''The Aligator''", and in his daredevil persona "''Demolition Derby''"
42* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes he can pull off a good one.
43-->'''Adam:''' Today, we're going to learn about personality.\
44'''Derby:''' And you're going to teach us?
45* GeniusDitz: He's ''unbelievably'' stupid and lazy most of the time but he still pulls off completely insane schemes and every once in a while he shows knowledge on science.
46* HiddenDepths: Derby sometimes shows he's very smart in science, even being the first person to solve the Pollock ocathedral numbers conjecture ''completely by accident''.
47* NiceGuy: Though he can be annoying, insensitive and immature half the time.
48* RealityWarper
49* RepetitiveName: Derby [[spoiler: Von Derbitsford]].
50* TooDumbToLive: But still pretty clever when comes to schemes and pranks.
51* WithFriendsLikeThese
52
53!!Slab
54->'''Portrayed by:''' Kurt Ostlund
55* AmbiguouslyHuman: It's stated in one episode that he [[BornAsAnAdult looks the exact same now as he did when he was born]], which is made weirder by the fact that he's far larger than any of the human characters. He's also far stronger and more durable than any of the other characters, to the point that in one episode [[AnvilOnHead an anvil]] [[NoSell breaks when dropped on his head, and he doesn't even flinch]], but that could just be RuleOfFunny.
56* TheBully: Archetypical example of this trope.
57* BodyHorror: A RunningGag really. He is able to make people faint with his breath, his socks have the same effect as stink bombs, and he is exceptionally hairy for a human being, to the point that he looks like a BeastMan if he doesn't shave each morning.
58* TheDreaded: In the pilot, Derby describes him as a cross between Godzilla and Bigfoot.
59* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Depending on the episode, he is either friends to Adam and Derby, or he acts as an antagonist to them.
60* HiddenDepths: Slab is a fan of Ballet, classical music (to the point he beat up Derby for misplaying a symphony) and Astronomy.
61* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As he explained himself in ''Mr. Honest'', he is not really violent by nature, but he just uses his considerable stature and strength to mask his pain because he doesn't fit in with the other kids.
62* [[PunchClockVillain Punch Clock Jerkass]]: He is shown to express {{jerkass}} behaviour more because he has to protect his reputation as the school bully rather than because he's really mean-spirited.
63* SitcomArchEnemy: To Derby in many episodes, though the two are just as much shown to be good friends.
64* StarterVillain: Main antagonist of the first episode, before Adam tamed him.
65* TooDumbToLive: He calls apples 'fruit balls' and has to look on his ID to see what his own name is.
66* UncannyFamilyResemblance: A running gag on the show is that all of Slab's family members look exactly like him, with all of them being played by Kurt Ostlund. This includes his father, [[CrosscastRole his mother]], his older brother Jerry and his five-year-old cousin Jakey.
67
68!!Principal Tater
69->'''Portrayed by:''' Milo Shandel
70%%* [[BaldOfEvil Bald Of Jerkass]]
71* CardCarryingVillain: He freely admits that he has no morals or ethics of any kind.
72* DirtyCoward
73* HatedByAll: He is hated by everyone, so much so that there's even a club dedicated to people who hate him.
74* {{Jerkass}}
75* ManChild: "I never learned to cook. Mommy won't let me use the owie-maker."
76* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl
77* SitcomArchEnemy: To Adam. He often shows a strong level of animosity towards Adam and often tries to get him fired, or even killed when ever he can. This doesn't stop him running to Adam for help, exploiting and forcing Adam to help or the two teaming up when they share a goal.
78* TooDumbToLive: One wonders how he got to be a principal. Given this is a CrapsackWorld, it is kind of believable.
79
80!!Ivy Young
81->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/EmilyTennant
82* AlphaBitch
83* AloofBigSister
84* DeadpanSnarker: Despite not very bright, she's also ready and able to mock others.
85* DumbBlonde
86* TheFashionista
87* HiddenDepths: One would never suspect she's a Sherlock Holmes fan.
88* SingleGirlSeeksMostPopularGuy: Ivy is in love with Hutch, a football player.

94!!Dang
95->'''Portrayed by:''' Raugi Yu
96* AllAsiansKnowMartialArts
97* AlmightyJanitor: To Reality Warping levels.
98* AmbiguouslyHuman: He looks and is treated like a human, but can teleport, defy gravity, be in two places at the same time, and go inside a computer screen.
99* AsianSpeekeeEngrish
100** JapaneseRanguage
101* CatchPhrase: At the mere mention of his name, he appears and says "You called?"
102** PhraseCatcher: This is followed by everyone else screaming "Aaaaahhhh!"
103* LargeHam
104* SayMyName
105* WeaksauceWeakness: He can't teleport through a locked door.
106
107!!Hutch Anderson
108->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/BrettDier
109* KindheartedSimpleton

111* ParentalNeglect: His parents never threw him a birthday party, as he was born on Halloween.
112
113!!Ms. Byrne
114->'''Portrayed by:''' Paula Shaw
115* AmbiguouslyHuman: She seems human, and there is no indication she isn't, however she is apparently several thousand years old.
116* CatchPhrase: Who has heard of the war of 1812?
117* DirtyOldWoman: She has a tendency to remove her clothes and change into more sensual outfits, much to the disgust of others.
118* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld [=/=] TimeAbyss: Parodied; she wears coats made of real sabre-toothed tiger fur, has seen Halley's Comet 6 times, misses the time before the Sun and was once "Miss Constantinople".
119

121->'''Portrayed by:''' Anna Galvin
122* DeadpanSnarker
123* OnlySaneMan: More or less
