    open/close all folders 

    In General 
  • Anti-Villain: Most of them are a Villain in Name Only since they barely do anything evil and they're hardly antagonistic. While plenty of them can be Ambiguously Evil at times, most of the time they just wanted to do their jobs, no matter the means.
  • Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The majority of these characters have different colors.
    • Announcer — Dark gray
    • Puffball Speaker Box — Pink
    • Four — Blue
    • X — Yellow
    • Two — Green
    • Firey Speaker Box — Orange and white
    • Flower Speaker Box — Magenta and yellow
    • Purple Face — Purple
  • Game Show Host: All of them are considered to be this, especially when they're a staff member.
  • Nice, Mean, and In-Between: Between the three hosting Algebraliens, Four is well-prone to attack people for small reasons, X is considered by Eggy "the kindest host of the three," and Two is only mildly selfish at most, but is still benevolent towards their contestants.
  • Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Most of them are this especially if they're considered main characters.

Main Hosts

    Announcer 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/speaker2png.png
"We had to sell it because of budget cuts."
The robotic host of BFDI's first season. Although his voice suggests a calm personality, the Announcer is actually rather cruel in nature, as he has no problems with locking eliminated contestants in a huge metal box with nothing to eat but bread three meals of the day. The Announcer can also be rather impractical at times, as he often forgets that some contestants have abilities that can be used to cheat in his challenges, and others have disadvantages that hinder their progress in the game.
  • Big Bad: Overall the most important and consistent antagonist of the first season, although Flower is far meaner and crueler.
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Aside from three cameos in BFDIA, he is completely absent from BFDIA, IDFB, and BFB (he is sometimes mentioned and appears in flashbacks, though). He comes back in BFB 28.
  • Didn't Think This Through: A lot of challenges of his are easily cheated on by contestants with abilities that can be used to do so, and some of these challenges even hinder contestants with very glaring disadvantages.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: BFB 29 retroactively reveals that after BFDI, he started and ran BFDIA from behind the scenes, only to be forced to cancel it when the contestants kept dying and blew the budget.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: At the end of "Insectophobe's Nightmare 2", he reveals he spent his own money on the recovery centers for contestants... so he could enjoy killing them again.
  • Karma Houdini: After all he's done, culminating in rendering the competition pointless by selling Dream Island to Leafy after Firey bans her from it, he escapes back to his home planet with other speaker boxes and with millions of dollars in his pockets without as much as a slap on the wrist.
  • Life's Work Ruined: Zigzagged, while the original show is untampered, Four and X do take his show away from him and offer up his most valuable treasure, the only remaining archive of the original show.
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: He is smaller than all of his contestants, but is still their host and easily locks them in a metal box.
  • Sadist: He enjoys killing the contestants.
  • Synthetic Voice Actor: Uses a Text-to-Speech voice. Justified, as he's a robot.
  • Talking the Monster to Death: While just trying to get rid of Four for being a bad host, he gets an Eldritch Abomination to off itself.

    Puffball Speaker Box 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/puffball_radio.png
"Tell you what. How about I help you get back to your show? Because I'm nice!"
Voiced by: Michael Huang
A speaker box won by Puffball as a Cake at Stake prize, and becomes the main host of BFDIA.
  • Auto-Tune: Just like her owner (albeit exaggerated).
  • And I Must Scream: Overlapping with Not Quite Dead, she didn't actually die; BFDIA 8 reveals that she was instead locked in some sort of paralysis after getting stabbed in the back.
  • The Bus Came Back: After being presumed dead and BFDIA getting canceled, Puffball Speaker Box is brought back and fixed up after BFDIA got Un-Canceled in BFDIA 8 to take Firey Speaker Box's place when Firey's elimination leaves him an emotional wreck.
  • Composite Character: She's an Announcer speaker box with a color scheme and voice based on Puffball.
  • Disney Death: After getting stabbed in the back with a knife, Puffball Speaker Box is presumed dead for the rest of BFDIA. However, after the show got Un-Canceled, it's revealed in BFDIA 8 that she wasn't actually dead; just in paralyzing pain. After Pencil uses a magnet to extract the knife, PSB is back to normal and returns to host BFDIA. She dies again for real in BFDIA 11 after Spongy crushes her.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: In response to Book reading lipsnote  during the trash compactor challenge, Puffball Speaker Box punishes her by pulling out a knife and gruesomely slicing Book to shreds.
  • Everything's Better with Rainbows: She cycles through the color spectrum when talking much more than Puffball herself does. Not everything is better with rainbows, however, if you're currently barfing up gallons of multicolored bodily fluids after having a large knife lodged into your back.
  • Flight: Can fly on her own without the need for a flying platform, just like her owner.
  • Locked Out of the Loop: She has no idea who Lewis is due to being in a catatonic state when he was first introduced, and therefore is confused by the new Cake at Stake jingle.
  • Nice, Mean, and In-Between: The in-between to Firey Speaker Box's nice and Flower Speaker Box's mean.
  • Pet the Dog: Puffball Speaker Box gives Bubble a soda pop after she tells her that she is not an official BFDIA contestant.

    Four 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fouricon_6.png
"Don't you want to battle to win a prize?"
Voiced by: Michael Huang
A number that defies physics, and the host of BFB. Appearing one day when Black Hole was trying to open up a jar of cyanide and almost destroying everything, Four saves everyone, only so that he can make them compete in his game; the prize: a BFDI. Kind of a jerk.
  • Accidental Misnaming: Refers to Lollipop as "Naily" after her elimination in "Uprooting Everything". When his mistake is pointed out, he says he must not have been paying as much attention as he thought.
  • Adaptational Jerkass: In "X Finds Out His Value", Four was a Nice Guy who tried to help out X. In BFB, he has significantly more Jerkass moments and in the earlier episodes, he had a tendency to bully X.
  • Adaptational Villainy: In "X Finds Out His Value", Four was the hero and protagonist, as opposed to the villainous antagonistic host in BFB.
  • Anthropomorphic Typography: An anthropomorphic number four.
  • Art Evolution: As the season progressed, Four started looking more refined in appearance. By the split, he's animated more fluidly most of the time.
  • Ascended Fanboy: Is revealed to be this in BFB 30. Four remembered all of the episodes and fell in love with it. He really wanted to be on the show and once BFDIA ended, he created the BFDI prize which was a compilation of all of the BFDI and BFDIA episodes compiled together and as of BFB, he lived the dream!
  • Astral Projection: He can project his body into his inner dimension to interact with eliminated contestants in EXIT. This does however have the side effect of leaving him near immobile in the outside world.
  • Ax-Crazy: Becomes this in BFB 6. While he was very, very prone to inflicting horrendous trauma, physical or otherwise, on anyone and everyone, at least he had a reason as they were also harassing and provoking him.
  • Brown Note: Four screams to stun contestants when they attempt to provoke a conversation with or aggravate him. He eventually stopped doing this post-split due to promising X he would stop.
  • The Bully: To X at times and some of the contestants.
  • Butt-Monkey: In post-split episodes, he becomes the butt of the contestants' jokes thanks to him being such a jerk pre-split.
  • Can't Take Criticism: Whenever a contestant tries to protest against his behavior or talks back to him, Four will either screech at them, deform them, or flat-out ignore them until he decides to oblige to their complaints.
    Four: I think someone is criticizing me. I don't like criticism!
  • Character Development: Early in BFB, Four showed little emotion beyond screeching people over the most minor offense, and otherwise wearing a blank smile. After he was brought back in BFB 10, he began emoting much more, and it becomes clear he's not as malicious as the Announcer was, since the Announcer derived pleasure from the suffering of the contestants, while Four only makes contestants suffer if they cross him. After the split, he displayed a wide range of emotions and became a friendlier character. In BFB 30, he becomes full-on and friendly and even apologizes for everything he had done throughout the show with clear remorse after being scolded harshly by Gelatin.
  • Comedic Sociopathy: Four's failure to build relationships and just be nice to everyone is often made fun of.
  • Despair Event Horizon: Upon realizing that Announcer was right and their show had gone Off the Rails so much that the remaining contestants choose Announcer over him, he chooses to merge with the Earth than leave.
    (Laughing demonically) WAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'LL BE HERE FOREVER!!!
  • Easily Forgiven: Despite insulting and physically harming X throughout the first 5 episodes, X doesn’t seem to harbor any malice towards him and remains as loyal to him as ever.
  • Eldritch Abomination: He can deform, revive, or absorb characters, warp matter with ease or freely create it, and managed to somehow shrink Black Hole by crushing him with his hand. Overall, he's generally invulnerable outside of physical math equations. If Balloony's knowledge of EXIT is any indication, his inner dimension may also function as an afterlife.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: He will not tolerate cyberbullying, hates being separated from X, and even punishes Firey for stealing Donut's diary. He even apologizes for his horrible behavior throughout the show in BFB 30, the final episode of the show.
  • Eye Beams: Four has the ability to despawn others with his laser vision.
  • Four Is Death: Quite literally. His screech can be enough to kill his victims, and he can shoot deadly lasers and mutilate others just by touching them.
  • Genius Loci: There's a classroom inside his body that he absorbs eliminated contestants into and then projects himself inside to teach them algebra. He also merges with Earth after the Announcer takes over his show.
  • Good Is Not Nice: Even if he's the face of the fourth season, Four can be murderous, short-tempered, and rude at times.
  • Hate Sink: He was meant to be rather unlikeable before BFB 6, mutilating Pin for no reason and rubbing it in Coiny’s face, screeching at the contestants when provoked, and regularly bullying X. It ended up backfiring due to him developing a sizable fanbase, and once he returns in BFB 10, he ends up developing some nicer traits.
  • Hidden Depths: The reason why he wanted to host BFB was because he saw BFDI in itself and copied it with his powers as he became an Ascended Fanboy.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He’s not an entirely bad person once you get past his bratty streak. A good example is when he genuinely thanks Pin for recovering him and gives her a literal token of his gratitude, and he praises X for hosting the show in his absence.
  • Kick the Dog: Does this a lot, such as when he mutilates Pin solely because he can and rubs it in Coiny’s face. He also tends to berate X, such as mocking him for not knowing his value or claiming that nobody noticed his absence in BFB 3 (which makes him cry).
  • Narcissist: Shows shades of this. He cares about himself more than the contestants he dislikes, loves his own number (himself, Four), and literally pulled Four fingers out of Balloony for doing a high five.
  • Nice, Mean, and In-Between: In terms of both personality and hosting style, Four is the Mean to Two's In-Between and X's Nice. At his very worst, he's a Jerkass who uses his eldritch powers to torment the contestants, and when a contestant is eliminated, he either subjects them to an eternal life of algebra class or traps them in a cage attached to a rapidly-spinning building.
  • No Biological Sex: While he uses male pronouns, Word of God is that Four is sexless and he states in BFB 10 that "they don't have (gender) where he's from".
  • Non-Standard Character Design: Appears more like a poorly-animated doodle.
  • Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: Before he blasts Gelatin with lasers in BFB 3 and brings him to the brink of death, he says, "It's time." Subverted with BFB 6, as before he can fry Nickel with his Wave-Motion Gun, he is multiplied by Donut thanks to A Better Name Than That's plan.
  • Reality Warper: Frequently creates things out of nothing, can mutilate others with a touch, has the power to shoot lasers with cause video game-style damage, can revive people by shooting them out of his arms and can fuse with other mathematical symbol-like people in manners akin to equations. Inside him is a pocket dimension containing a classroom where he can project himself inside to teach eliminated (and possibly deceased) contestants algebra.
  • Sanity Slippage: Over the series, Four's mannerisms slowly get more absurd to the point that, in BFB 6, Golf Ball hatches a successful plan to take out Four and X after Four's destruction gets more and more ruthless. He appears to be toning down after being revived by Pin and Firey in BFB 10, luckily.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Manly Man to Two and X's Sensitive Guys.
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: To Clock. He despises Clock so much that he kills him after the events of BFB 10 and he stays dead until BFB 15. Four refused to revive him until then.
  • Sociopathic Hero: At least in the first few episodes, where he shows little to no concern for the contestant’s well-being and hurts them on purpose.
  • Super-Scream: He screeches at the contestants in the earlier episodes a lot when provoked. He stops doing it after he promises X that he would.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: Sincerely thanks Pin for reviving him in BFB 10 and happily reciprocates X's feelings when he says that he missed him along with praising him for doing a good job hosting the show while he was gone. This sudden change is probably because he realized that if he constantly harms the contestants, eventually they'll fight back. Shame that said kindness doesn't undo the damage he did and continues to do, and after things go Off the Rails thanks to Two, the remaining contestants choose Announcer to run the finale rather than him. He becomes full-on nice in BFB 30 after Gelatin scolds him harshly for everything he had done to all of the contestants and X. He even apologizes with clear remorse when he does. He's back to something of a control freak upon returning in TPOT 6 alongside X as the hotel's chefs, only allowing the guests to have food while retaliating against any contestants who try to get food with violence.
  • Tranquil Fury: In the non-canon "Unreal BFDI" video, the smile on his face remains unchanged as he mutilates Anchor just for accidentally falling on top of his head.
  • Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Although he's the main protagonist of BFB, he’s a sociopathic Jerkass at worst.
  • Wave-Motion Gun: Can fire this from his hands at any victim who has offended him.
    • In a more subtle sense, in BFB 28, once Announcer comes back to save the show from Four's mismanagement, he declares that he'll remain part of BFB forever, and mutates himself into the terrain.
  • Wingding Eyes: When he's happy, his eyes sometimes turn into hearts.
  • Yandere: Angrily mentions that he wants to be X's "only treasure" in BFB 13, and he will not allow X to find his emeralds because of that.

    X 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/x_icon_4.png
"Wait, did I mess up? Oh no!"
Voiced by: Cary Huang
Another being similar to Four, and co-host for BFB. Is nicer than Four, but also a common victim of his screeching and insults.
  • Adaptational Villainy: They somehow manage to get this in both of the non-canon Among Us videos. In the first one, they kill Gelatin, Laughing Mad as they do so, and isn't seen again after that. In the second one, they go under an alias known as Xanta. Downplayed for both instances, however, since they still somewhat retained their Keet attitude.
  • Anthropomorphic Typography: An anthropomorphic X.
  • Ascended Extra: Deconstructed. When Four is multiplied by zero, X is under-prepared to be host and fails at doing so.
  • Break the Cutie: He's left absolutely heartbroken after Four had sunken into the desert.
  • Butt-Monkey: Forced into being Four's co-host for BFB. He's also a common victim of his screeching and insults.
  • Cephalothorax: His head is his body.
  • Cute, but Cacophonic: They're much more nicer than Four, but they're quite the squeaker, especially at the end of the "All I Want For X-Mas" cover.
  • The Cutie: X is the nicest and most caring host in BFB.
  • Disney Death: Is revealed to have escaped the incident that killed Four in BFB 9, having run away before he could be absorbed into Donut. Just touching him was enough to begin the multiplication process.
  • The Dragon: Essentially serves at this to Four, being his cohost and helping with challenges—and also ending up being the victim of much of his screeching, despite trying to help Four mind himself. They become more equal as they go along, however, even after X left to cohost TPOT, and The Announcer's Dragon after Four merges with Earth. Somewhat invoked, as he is shown to be too shy and nervous to host by himself and prefers to supplement others.
  • Eye Beams: Like Four, he is able to use his laser vision to despawn others; however, he doesn't use it as often.
  • Jerkass Ball: Holds this in BFB 20. X complains about the Have Nots being mean to him when all they're doing is trying to cool him from the sun. He also subtracts a lot of points.
  • Laughing Mad: In the first non-canon Among Us video, they laugh maniacally as they kill Gelatin.
  • Mind over Matter: He is shown with the ability to float mid-air but it only works when both Four and X stare idly at the screen. X can also induce levitation onto others by snapping his fingers which is used to send the eliminated contestants to the BRB from "Take the Tower" onwards.
  • Nice Guy: Especially when compared to Four. He tries his best to be considerate of the contestants' feelings and give them nice cakes when he holds Cake at Stake unlike the other hosts who tend to reward odd or inedible things, and comforts Cloudy when he's miserable over Balloony's death and inability to be revived, something he also apologizes for not being capable of doing.
    • This had an effect in BFB 17, as when the Four Colored Team tries to take X, the TPOT contestants don't allow it because of how caring he is and try to keep him as gratitude.
    • Despite the Announcer driving Four to submerge into the desert, he still agrees to help him with the second-to-last challenge.
  • Nice, Mean, and In-Between: In terms of both personality and hosting style, X is the Nice to Four's Mean and Two's In-Between.
  • Non-Standard Character Design: Appears more like a poorly animated doodle as Four is.
  • Not So Above It All: While he may be sweeter than Four, he ruthlessly insults Pen’s artistic ability in BFB 5, calling him a "disgrace to the entire art community."
  • Prone to Tears: Bursts into tears in BFB 3 when Four says that no one noticed he was gone.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive Guy to Four and Two's Manly Men.
  • Shrinking Violet: Without Four, X is shown to be extremely shy when asked to host in Episode 9. He has trouble speaking up and is so shy that he fails to explain the rules of the episode's challenge clearly (at least not to BEEP).
  • Vocal Evolution: X's voice in "X Finds Out His Value" was much deeper as Cary was a kid, as opposed to his falsetto voice in BFB.

    Two 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/two_icon.png
"Hi, everyone! Are you tired of battling for a dumb prize?"
Voiced by: Niall Burns
Another being similar to Four, who shows up during episode 16 and quickly proves their superiority over Four. Revealing their intentions to host their own game, The Power of Two, the prize of gaining godly powers entices 40 of the contestants to move to their show. Four and the other constants are then teleported somewhere else off to finish their show.
  • Accidental Murder: Does this to Bottle in BFB 16. Also does it to Cake in a botched elimination in TPOT 8.
  • Actor Allusion: They are a slightly similar color to Gamey, who was the host of their voice actor's own animated show, Object Overload.
  • Affably Evil: Despite being rather anarchic and not showing regard for people's lives, they're a genuinely nice guy otherwise, showing courtesy to others when deserved, and even holding down an incredibly long conversation with Gaty about their identities.
  • Aliens of London: Has a British accent, despite apparently coming from the same place as Four and X.
  • Anthropomorphic Typography: An anthropomorphic 2.
  • Ascended Extra: In BFDI, they were just a background recommended character, but as of BFB, they have a much larger role.
  • Butt-Monkey: Two had it much worse than the hosts in the previous season. In the first episode, they got beat up by the contestants for not explaining the rules loud enough. In episode six, they ate cereal with vomit in it, reacting the way you'd expect. Not to mention all the times they screamed in distress right before the intro.
  • Character Catchphrase: "Viewers! [Team A] and [Team B] are both up for elimination, but you only get one vote total, so make your one vote count!"
  • Character Development: Seemingly introduced as a Jerkass who steals Four's show, but as time goes on, they prove they're more of a Nice Guy than viewers expected. If anything, the second nicest host next to X. They deep down care a lot about contestants' well beings, such as trying to solve a conflict that happened between Clock and newcomer Winner. They also have small talks with Gaty to express themselves as the character they are and wish to be. This comes to a head when Two decided to help resolve all the contestants' issues with each other in TPOT 10.
  • Comedic Sociopathy: In TPOT 4, they show enjoyment out of Lightning repeatedly zapping Puffball.
  • Didn't Think This Through: Has this flaw, as shown when miscalculating the number of people added up when adding in a newbie, having to get another contestant to round things out again, and only tells the contestants the last rule for the first challenge when no one could hear them, making things harder for everyone else.
  • Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?:
    • Manages to teleport Four to another location rather easily. They also beat up Four using a spike ball.
    • On the flip side of the coin, the first episode of their season ends with them on the receiving end of a vicious beatdown courtesy of the contestants for not properly explaining the rules.
  • Innocently Insensitive: After Clock's elimination, they make an exception for him to have him work with Four and X instead of being normally eliminated, so that he and Winner can work out their problems. Winner later says that this just adds to how they're treated differently for being famous in the past.
  • It's All About Me: They seem to like whenever their name is mentioned, such as whenever they are counting.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Frequently smug or smarmy and enjoyed humiliating Four in their debut, but they're still way nicer than the previous hosts. They send the recommended characters who didn't join TPOT into their own rooms in the hotel they created out of the bathrooms (Beats being trapped in a metal box or stuck in an Eternal Algebra Class). Two thinks of sending Pie some cake even after their elimination, and they send Clock to the hotel to eventually make up with Winner.
  • Manchild: Downplayed but we see that one of their favorite hobbies is playing with toy blocks, an activity that mostly toddlers like.
  • Never My Fault: They take no accountability for their poor job at explaining the first challenge, accusing the cast of projecting the blame onto them. They promptly get beat up for this.
  • Nice, Mean, and In-Between: In terms of both personality and hosting style, Two is the In-Between to Four's Mean and X's Nice. They're more amiable than Four when it comes to treating the contestants with respect and just let losers stay in the hotel they made. However, they're still a bit self-centered at times, as they effectively steal most of Four's contestants for their own show and make a number of TPOT's challenges about some inconvenience that primarily affects them, and although they refuse to take responsibility for not saying all the rules for the first round, they let themselves get beat up without retaliating.
  • Non-Standard Character Design: Appears more like a doodle just like Four and X, though is better animated most of the time than them.
  • Not So Above It All: While they are considerably more mature than the likes of Four, one of their favorite hobbies is playing with toy blocks, an activity that mostly toddlers like.
  • Reality Warper: Can create things out of nothing, fly at stupidly fast speeds, and change the shape of objects along with many other abilities. Whoever wins their show will inherit these powers from them.
  • Romantic Wingman: A platonic variant. They let Clock stay in the hotel after he's eliminated because they want to help him patch things up with Winner, and talks to Clock as if he were dumped by an ex.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive Guy to Four and Manly Man to X.
  • Squishy Wizard: Despite their reality warping powers, they couldn't do anything against an angry crowd of contestants, and got zombified after being bitten by an infected Barf Bag in TPOT 9.

Other Hosts

    Firey and Flower Speaker Boxes 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fireboxfront0009.png
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flowerboxfront0004.png
Voiced by: Michael Huang
Two different speaker boxes that each served the purpose of replacing the Announcer in his absence.
  • The Bus Came Back:
    • Firey pulls his speaker box out to serve as a replacement host when the Puffball Speaker Box is slain.
  • Composite Character: They're Announcer speaker boxes with color schemes and voices based on contestants.
  • Does Not Like Spam: The Firey Speaker Box hates yoyleberries. He's forced to eat some anyway to help the Announcer get the contestants off his trail.
  • Despair Event Horizon: Firey Speaker Box becomes a blubbering wreck after Firey is eliminated in BFDIA 8, forcing Puffball Speaker Box to return in his stead.
  • Karmic Death: Firey Speaker Box decides to chop up Donut's body to use as a cake for BFDIA 5A. Donut returns the favor shortly after he becomes BFB's host minus the recovery.
    • Flower's is murdered by her own creator via a bowling ball on accident.
  • Killed Off for Real:
    • Flower accidentally killed her own Speaker Box with a metal ball.
    • Firey Speaker Box is killed by being chopped up by Donut in revenge for Firey Speaker Box chopping up his corpse in BFB.
  • Nice, Mean, and In-Between: Given that the speaker boxes have the same personalities as their owners, it's Firey Speaker Box's nice and Flower Speaker Box's mean to Puffbull Speaker Box's in-between.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Flower Speaker Box only lives for a couple of episodes before another of her creator's revenge schemes gone awry kills her.

Voiced by: Michael Huang (BFDIA), Text2Speech Male Voice (BFB 4 and 7), Clips of BFDI, BFDIA, IDFB, and BFB episodes, Kenzie Bryant (BFB 13 and onwards)
A flatscreen television. Selected as the stand-in host for BFDIA since he looked most like a host, though quickly became a supplemental role for the Puffball and Firey Speaker Boxes. For tropes regarding TV, see TPOT Contestants

    Flower 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flower_teamicon.png
Voiced by: Michael Huang
A far-from-charming centaury flower. While a recurring non-contestant throughout BFDIA, after PSB got crushed by Spongy, Golf Ball called her on her cellphone and inadvertently made her the hostnote . For tropes regarding Flower, see Original Contestants

    Donut 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/donut_teamicon.png
Voiced by: Michael Huang
A donut filled with cherry jam (despite him having a hole). As he also acts as a "0" integer, he was able to absorb Four into himself when A Better Name Than That multiplied Four by Zero. This gave him not only Four's powers, but made him the host in his absence. For tropes regarding Donut, see BFDIA Contestants

    Purple Face 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/purplefacenewpose.png
Voiced by: Justin Chapman
A being similar to Yellow Face that was a part of an ad Yellow Face hosted. He is then captured by Yellow Face in a metal box and shipped to his warehouse, and later gets on Four's show by becoming BFDI/BFB's co-co-host.
  • Ascended Extra: Originally a one-shot character for an advertisement before being quickly eaten by Yellow Face. He returns to the show after nearly a decade of absence in BFB 23 and plays a large part in that episode and certain future episodes, and even hosts Cake at Stake (albeit without permission) in BFB 24. He even becomes a tertiary host for BFB 27 before being ejected by the Announcer in BFB 28. It turns out he's painfully aware of this trope and the fact he was one-shot character before being shipped into Yellow Face's warehouse and left to rot until he was recovered. It's this reason that he steals the BFDI from Flower and the Announcer, wanting compensation after being left to rot for so long.
  • Big Bad Wannabe: Tries to be a threat in the finale by stealing the BFDI from Flower. He fails, and nearly gets himself killed before he's talked down and gives up fighting for it. And in the grand scheme, the skirmish for the BFDI is nothing compared to Four's tantrum.
  • The Bus Came Back: Returns to the show in BFB 23 after years of absence.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Like his yellow counterpart, he's kinda crazy. Certainly doesn't help that he was sealed in a box in Yellow Face's warehouse for eight years.
  • Dreadful Musician: Purple Face is absolutely terrible at singing, to the point that his song in BFB 24 is accompanied by musical instruments playing terribly on purpose and the sound of glass breaking occurs at one point during the song.
  • Dude, Where's My Respect?: Despite hosting a Cake at Stake, becoming a co-co-host in BFB 27, and helping save the show after its near-cancellation, he still feels as if no one respects him for these actions. This leads him to attempting to steal the BFDI from Flower in BFB 30.
  • Fantastic Racism: Claims Yellow Face as this for insulting him based on his color.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Barely tolerated by the other hosts and the contestants throughout post-split BFB.
  • Go Mad from the Isolation: Possibly the reason he tried to eat Have Cots.
  • Heel–Face Turn: He's a lot nicer in BFB 24 now that he is no longer trapped in a box. He even helps Lollipop with the challenge.
  • Palette Swap: He is a purple recoloring of Yellow Face.
  • Reverse Psychology: Uses this on Four in order to become the co-co-host of BFB.
  • Stylistic Suck: Just like his Yellow counterpart.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Purple Face becoming the co-co-host, along with Profily joining the game, leads the remaining contestants to realize how Off the Rails the show has become, and they welcome back Announcer with open arms when he comes back to take over BFB's finale.
  • What the Hell Is That Accent?: Although it IS justified as he is a foreigner, his accent sounds really unique, if rather snobbish.
