Characters / Cloud Five

Go To

Brandon Hattam

The youngest of the five, and the host of Florida Man, where he reveals his favourite news stories of the week involving Floridians and their frequent follies.

  • Cloudcuckoolander: The most

  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to Luke's Blue, being the far more impulsive, enthusiastic and crass of the pair, compared to Luke's more serene intelligence.

  • Token Evil Teammate: While Joe's chaotic behaviour may indicate he is this, Brandon also fits the role, as demonstrated by his more morbid jokes about grilling babies.

George Farrington

The most laid-back member, with a penchant for impulsively shouting "Bollocks" at various moments throughout the show.

  • Deadpan Snarker: He has his moments.

  • The Lancer: George to Jack, being more laid-back and laconic. The pair are most likely to bounce jokes off one another.

Jack Mackay

The unofficial 'frontman' of the podcast. Posh and sarcastic, he is quick to mock silly answers and questions.

  • Deadpan Snarker: Possibly the most pronounced of the group. He is very quick on the draw when it comes to pointing out and mocking the Insane Troll Logic spouted by other members.

  • The Hyena: Laughs a lot at his fellow hosts, especially when they're spouting nonsense.

  • I Am Very British: The poshest of the five.

  • The Leader: Organises and runs the podcast while trying to keep the conversations vaguely on track.

Joe Monk

The dark horse of the podcast, notable for his deadpan delivery and endless use of Catchphrases.

  • Breakout Character: Has proved very popular amongst fans of the show for his deadpan humour, catchphrases and inexplicable logic.

  • Deadpan Snarker: Deadpan? Absolutely. Snark? In plentiful supply, when he isn't making use of his catchphrases.

  • Enemy to All Living Things: Joe frequently reiterates his hatred of animals.

  • Genius Ditz: Has displayed tones of this, as revealed during Factoids of Episode 6 when his knowledge of Latin helped him identify the bollocks almost immediately.

  • Literal-Minded: Regularly played for laughs.
(Regarding Kyrgyz horseriding sports)
Brandon: What are these guys on?
Joe: Horses.

  • Pungeon Master: Joe makes at least one pun an episode, varying from witty to nonsensical.

  • Token Evil Teammate: The most chaotic and deadpan of the group, who often contradicts the others purely for the sake of being disruptive.

Luke Potter

The more soft-spoken of the five, and the Only Sane Man amongst them. Hosts Science Corner, where he provides some much-needed rationality and wisdom to balance the cast's vulgarity.

  • Deadpan Snarker: Not to the same extent as the others, but can often be heard muttering "Oh, good" in response to the others' more lowbrow humour.

  • Only Sane Man: Absolutely.

  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue to Brandon's Red (and arguably the rest of the cast of the whole), being far more composed, cultured and self-contained than the others.

  • The Smart Guy: Presents Science Corner, the most fact-oriented segment of the show.
