[[folder: Main Cast]]

!! Eric "[=ERod=]" Rodriguez, The Blockbuster Buster

->''"Greetings, fanboys and fangirls. I'm ERod, and I'm the Blockbuster"''

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: He uses a lot of jokes with alliterations, and uses them to summarize the movies he is about to bust. When he skips the alliteration, it means the movie is beyond bad.
* AscendedFanboy: [=ERod=] admits to be a fanboy himself and started doing reviews with hopes of being part of Website/ChannelAwesome and made some videos parodying the site didn't pick him yet. He eventually succeeds.
** Also his reviews are more in the fanboy approach before as a media critic. He stated more than once that he's a proud fanboy/geek.
* BadassInDistress: When captured by Evil-E.
** BeardOfSorrow
* CatchPhrase: Has many.
** "Greetings, Fanboys and Fangirls. I'm [=ERod=] and I'm The Blockbuster Buster"
** "One Busted and Thousands more to go"
** "Busted!"
** "It's not easy being a DC fan"
* CausticCritic
* TheCutie: Lil' [=ERod=] in a [[Franchise/TheSmurfs Smurfs]] costume and outfit.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Given his black clothes and skulls everywhere.
* DanceBattler: And [=ERod=] also knows how to bust some moves.
** Many reviews feature the Dance Break section, either if there's no explanation or needs a break from tiresome parts of the movie.
** To celebrate his 1000 followers in youtube, [=ERod=] makes a video featuring all his characters dancing.
** [=ERod=] mentions in a commentary that his views rise every time he features a dance break in his videos.
** Also used to defeat Evil-E after the [[Film/ResidentEvilAfterlife Resident Evil: Afterlife]] review.
* DeadpanSnarker
* {{Determinator}}
* DoNotCallMePaul: “My name is [=ERod=]!”
* DrivenToMadness: The [[EldritchAbomination CGI baby]] from Son of The Mask drives him insane for a whole episode. It happens again with Breaking Dawn Part 2 CGI baby.
* FanBoy: Self-admitted and proud of it (but not in the negative context, he just happens to be a very passionate fan).
* TheHero
* HotBlooded
* IconicItem: His hammer Lucile and his skull ring.
* LargeHam
* LimitedWardrobe: While he usually wears the same jacket, the t-shirt is different every time (but it is always black).
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: You can expect it if Creator/SarahMichelleGellar, [[ActionGirl female badass]] characters and Creator/BruceCampbell are involved.
* ManChild: Often rampages about nostalgic movies and series being ruined by Hollywood, but the biggest fact is that he still plays and voices with his dolls, I mean, action figures. Lampshaded in the Website/ChannelAwesome Holidays greetings.
** In his Cars 2 review, [=ERod=] says Bruce Campbell playing a character named "Rod" is greater than the greatest day of his life: [[spoiler: meeting Donald Duck at Disneyland.]]
%%* OlderThanHeLooks: And he looks so much like he's in his 20s.
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: His hammer and powers work under Thor style rules.
* RealMenWearPink: Invoked and lampshaded in few occasions
** In the ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990'' casting couch, [=ERod=] says that he watched the Series/GeneralHospital soap opera.
** Recognizes Genie Francis in ''Film/{{Thunderbirds}}'' and tries to reference Series/GeneralHospital as the show with the most rated wedding scene in TV history.
** He recognizes Tim Gunn from ''Series/ProjectRunway'' in ''Film/TheSmurfs'' movie, only to lampshade this by presenting a random explosion.
* [[spoiler: SleptThroughTheApocalypse]]: [[spoiler: After refusing to bust ''The Amazing Spider-man 2'' he falls into a coma and wakes up three months later, during which Lazarus Dark has taken over the world]].
* SmallNameBigEgo: In his TGWTG Producers Casting Couch, he casted Denzel Washington as himself, presenting him as "the best actor to play the most important person on the site".
* {{Squee}}: Enters in fanboy hysteria if Creator/SarahMichelleGellar is on screen. Also points this again with Creator/CatherineTate, only dropping to the floor when mentioning Sarah Michelle Gellar again.
--> '''[=ERod=]''': ''*After hitting himself after a WTF moment*'' Was Sarah Michelle Gellar here?
** Also for Cars 2, he gets over excited when finding out Creator/BruceCampbell had a role in a Pixar movie playing a character named "ROD", almost part of his own name.
*** [[spoiler: That immediately crashes when the character is killed off after a brief appearance.]]
* UnknownRival: [=ERod=] has been claiming Linkara copied him in many occasions even before he got into That Guy With The Glasses and has been declaring Linkara as his rival. Linkara, of course, wasn't aware of this at all and, only after [=ERod=] finally told him this in the crossover, Linkara set this as an extreme coincidence due to both of them being very similar.

!! Nerdlinger (played by Eric Rodriguez)

* [[AllergicToLove Allergic To Girls]]: Poor Nerdlinger. He's so vulnerable to scantily clad ladies that he covers his eyes at best and downright ''faints'' at worse. He even faints at the only mention of WebVideo/ObscurusLupa name and poster.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Nerdlinger has a big crush on WebVideo/ObscurusLupa and is devastated when learning she's not available.
** [=ERod=] has also to contain himself from pointing out that she's obviously out of his league.
* BerserkButton: Everything related to the Dungeons & Dragons movie and CourtneySolomon.
--> "SCUM!!!"
** Creator/{{Leonard Nimoy}}'s ActorAllusion in the ''Transformers 3'' review provoked a similar response.
-->"Michael Bay, you are scum! SCUUUUUM!"
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Compairing him with his first appearance in the second episode, Nerlinger gradually became more energetic and showed a wider range of emotions compared to the other characters in the show.
* LastNameBasis: You don't find out his full name until nearly 100 episodes in.
** OverlyLongName: (Borderline example) Eustace Xavier Aloysius Nerdlinger the third.
* LimitedWardrobe: Beige backwards cap, taped glasses, turquoise button-up polo over a white long sleeved top, and black tie.
* LovableCoward: It causes him no end of grief, since being the resident [[MisterExposition expository nerd]] makes him [=ERod's=] go-to guy for information on many franchises, including horror franchises, so he gets constantly exposed to scary stuff. Just as much as he knows about characters like the Franchise/{{Terminator}} and the Franchise/{{Predator}}, he can't see their movies without being on the verge of a horror-induced fainting spell.
** CowardlyLion: Completing the [[Film/ResidentEvilExtinction Resident Evil: Extinction]] review (even if he didn't manage to bust it) because [=ERod=] was depending on him (with some encouragement from Franchise/{{Batman}}) and busting the [[Film/DungeonsAndDragons2000 Dungeons & Dragons]] movie in a [[BewareTheNiceOnes fit of Nerd-Rage]].
* ManChild: For Gulliver's Travels, he's shown playing with his action figures and Lupa (''[[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer BtVS]]'''s Willow doll) is the ultimate hero.
* MisterExposition: When [=ERod=] needs to explain details about a movie's background or the plot of previous movies, he often calls on Nerdlinger to do the honors.
* PutOnABus: E-Rod has announced that he will no longer play the character in the rebooted Blockbuster Buster series.
%% * TheSmartGuy

!! Oscar Gutierrez/El Lover (played by Eric Rodriguez)
* Bilingual Bonus: In the ''Mummy 3'' and ''Terminator 3'', an annoyed El Lover turns out to be quite the potty mouth.
* CatchPhrase:
** "'Sup Pendejos! I'm El Lover. You want to know about (the movie), I tell YOU about (the movie)"
** Mira papi...
** Mira, hijo de tu madre...
** Mira, coño de tu madre...
* ChivalrousPervert: From the [[Film/ResidentEvilApocalypse Resident Evil: Apocalypse]] Review:
--> '''El Lover''': Milla, Milla Yoyovitch, *pointing to lap* I got a big gun for you right here that you can borrow, baby. No, seriously, *lifts a large firearm into frame* I mean you can borrow this; I don't want to see you get hurt.
* DashingHispanic:
--> '''El Lover''': Sorry papi, El Lover’s a lover not a fighter. And how I love to kick ass!
* DistractedByTheSexy: He often gives compliments for the female characters during his prequel recaps, and [[ADayInTheLimelight his occassional review]].
** He fails to bust [[Film/ResidentEvilApocalypse Resident Evil: Apocalypse]] because he got a call that Creator/SarahMichelleGellar was at a coffee shop.
** Partially subverted with ''Film/SuckerPunch'', where it had plenty of FanService, but was still so confused by the film that he tried to wake up [=ERod=] and make him bust the movie already.
* GratuitousSpanish: Obviously.
** Also mixed with VerbalTic, since the words he uses the most are "Mira, papi" ("Look, daddy"), "Mamacitas" ("chicks" or "babes"), "Pendejos", "... and shit" after some sentences.
* LatinLover: ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin
* LimitedWardrobe: All black: tuque, goggles, [[CoolShades sunglasses]], hoodie over a turquoise shirt, fingerless gloves and jeans.
* OnlySaneMan: From all the other characters, El Lover is the one who has handled Insane![=ERod=] three times.
* PutOnABus: E-Rod has announced that he will no longer play the character in the rebooted Blockbuster Buster series.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He is mostly seen with a Coca Cola bottle.
--> ''"Now cue me while I sip on some soda. Daaaamn, that's some good soda, bitch."''

!! Frederic Lombardo[=/=]Fedora Freddy (played by Eric Rodriguez)
* TheAce: In a twisted sort of way. Fedora Freddy is an idea guy for movie executives looking to create crap movies that still make buttloads of money. Fedora Freddy basically fast-talks horrible plots into existence... and the movies make buttloads of money.
* AlliterativeName: Though, as revealed in his Secret Origins video, it isn't his real name.
* AllThereInTheManual: His real name (Frederic Lombardo) was revealed by [[WordOfGod ERod]] in the Secret Origins videos. It has yet to be used in his actual appearances.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite his . . . [[BlatantLies interesting]] decisions for other movies[[note]]ie. Shoehorning the end of the romantic subplot into the end of the movie for Film/JosieAndThePussycats, etc.[[/note]] even he thinks that giving Film/{{Jonah Hex|2010}} superpowers is a bad idea.
* LimitedWardrobe: Fedora, brown vest, white button-up shirt, and red tie.
* MotorMouth: Lampshaded:
--> '''El Lover''': But, just in case you missed what happened at the end of the last movie, '''because Fedora Freddy talks too fast''', El Lover is going to tell you what went down.
* TheNicknamer: Refers to [=ERod=] as "Mr E".
* OddFriendship: Considering he is specialized in doing all those crappy decisions that piss off [=ERod=], his friendship with him definitely fits this trope.
* PutOnABus: E-Rod has announced that he will no longer play the character in the rebooted Blockbuster Buster series.

!! SHE-Rod (played by Marsha Kent)
* ActionGirl
** ActionGirlfriend
** LadyOfWar
* AllWomenAreLustful: Even when [=ERod=] talks about an apple strudel, she's thinking about... the beef kind.
** Another one comes from "Dudley Do-Right"
---> '''SHE-Rod''': You're just jealous because Dudley ''does me right''.

* BenevolentAI: He is more logical and patient than his boss.
* CassandraTruth: JARVIS has warned [=ERod=] not to review a highly awful movie that was already reviewed by other producers, which [=ERod=] still does. [[GoMadFromTheRevelation It ended up as expected...]]
* TheComicallySerious: Whenever [=ERod=] wants to do something impulsive, he retorts with honest advice.
-->"Seems like an unworthy cause, sir."
* {{Expy}}: He verbally acknowleges that he is this, since [=ERod=]'s powers can recreate elements from other movies.
* MrExposition: He is the one in charge of guiding [=ERod=] after he looses his memory.

[[folder: Nemeses]]

!! Evil-E / [[spoiler: Lazarus Dark]] (played by Eric Rodriguez)

* [[spoiler:NotSoHarmlessVillain[=/=]TookALevelInBadass: While Evil-E had moments where he would become dangerous, [[WordOfGod ERod]] mentioned he always felt like his character wasn’t that much of a threat. His transformation into Lazarus Dark was done as a mean to fix this.]]
