The Main Duo
Froggy Fresh
Portrayed By: Tyler Cassidy
Originally known as Krispy Kreme, he's the titular rapper and protagonist of the songs whose career began in 2012. He is best friends with Mike, and tries to protect others from James. Whenever Mike is in trouble, he's at his side.
- Ambiguous Criminal History: In Haters Wanna Be Me, he claims to have been "shot about five hundred times" and "done about one million crimes". Given his portrayal in later videos, it's likely this is just him boasting for the song.
- Big Good: Froggy Fresh is the most sympathetic of all the characters.
- Book Dumb: In the intro to Reindeer Games, it's revealed neither he nor Mike know how to read.
- The Casanova: He's frequently portrayed as this, usually for laughs.
- In The Baddest, he claims to have "made out with every girl in the world".
- In Me and Daniel Tosh, a song made for Krispy Kreme's appearance on Tosh.0, he gets a veritable harem of girls around him at a party without even trying. He ends up requesting two of them pay attention to Daniel Tosh after the comedian admits he doesn't have much game.
- Slightly subverted in Christmas, where it's revealed he's "not allowed to touch butts until [he] graduate[s] from school" on orders from his mother.
- The Ditz: Falls into this trope sometimes, as he's occasionally portrayed as not being the brightest bulb. In Good Guy Shoes, it's shown that he's exclusively enrolled in special education classes at school. Furthermore, in the album intro to Stolen Bikes 3, when both he and Mike are attempting to watch videos of Bruce Lee on the internet, neither of them know how to spell his name. Froggy proceeds to call his dad to ask him the proper spelling, but immediately forgets after hanging up and proceeds to call and ask again two more times until his dad yells at him to stop bothering him at work.
- Foil: To James.
- The Hero's Idol: He's a big fan of Denzel Washington, John Cena, and Jimmy Butler.
- Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?: Invoked by Froggy in The Fight 2, after mentioning James had been calling him gay. Froggy attempts to refute this by saying that he "hang[s] out with girls every day", though later in the song shows some further insecurity about it after another gay joke from James."So... If I hang out with girls, does that make me gay or does that just mean I really like girls? 'Cause... 'Cause I think it means that I just think girls are really hot."
- Height Angst: He's occasionally portrayed as having insecurities about his shortness, most notably in The Fight 2.Yeah, and I was ready to brawl
'Cause also he's been saying I'm small
But that's not a lie, in fact, he's not lying at all
You see, sometimes I wish that I was tall - Heterosexual Life-Partners: To Mike.
- Henshin Hero: Becomes one of these in Street Rangers, directly serving as an homage to Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Subverted in Street Rangers 2, where he has to put on his suit manually due to being unable to buy a Morpher before they sold out. He makes a replacement out of cardboard, though this obviously doesn't work.
- Pintsized Powerhouse: His short stature is frequently referenced, though it doesn't seem to effect his ability to take out James' ninja henchmen or his basketball-playing skills. He's also rather muscular.
- Sweet Home Alabama: Tyler Cassidy puts on a thick southern drawl while playing him, and Froggy Fresh is portrayed as living in Alabama in-universe.
- Vague Age: Froggy Fresh is referred to as a grown man in several songs, though most of what he and Mike get up to are typical pastimes an adolescent would take part in, and he's typically depicted as if he's just another kid in his neighborhood. In Christmas, its implied he hasn't graduated from school yet.
- In Street Rangers, Froggy refers to a younger kid as "only in middle school", indicating he may be in high school.
- Conversely, in Good Guy Shoes, his report card states that he's in fifth grade, though whether this is meant to imply he's only ten or eleven years old or if he was just Held Back in School is unclear. Given the report card also states that he's exclusively enrolled in special ed classes, it may be the latter.
- Weapon Specialization: Is most frequently shown wielding a katana as his weapon of choice.
- Whole Costume Reference: Dresses up in two of Bruce Lee's most famous looks in Stolen Bikes 3. He starts off dressed up in Lee's outfit from Game of Death, complete with a wig bearing his signature hairstyle. Later in the video, he goes shirtless in an homage to Enter the Dragon, complete with three bloody scratches on his chest from James cutting him with a garden tool.
- Somewhat averted on the Escape from Hood Mountain album release, as in the intro track it's stated that Froggy and Mike were attempting to watch Bruce Lee videos on the internet before setting out to reclaim the stolen bikes. However, they were admittedly not successful in doing so due to neither of them knowing how to spell Lee's name and Froggy repeatedly forgetting the proper spelling after calling his dad multiple times to get the answer.
Money Maker Mike
- Face–Heel Turn: He joins up with James' gang as a result of getting hooked on the titular drug in Fun Trip, and is shown pushing drugs and gunning down a number of rival gang members with James after a trade gone wrong. Froggy manages to set him back on the right path in Push Me.
- Heroic BSoD:
- In Mike's Mom, his mom is killed by James in a robbery gone wrong. He goes and tries to get revenge, but is nearly killed by James.
- In Fun Trip, he gets addicted to Fun Trip, and joins up with James' gang, ultimate culminating in an overdose. Froggy manages to rescue him from James' house in Push Me, dragging him back home and locking him in a room until he gets clean.
- Heroic Mime: He's portrayed as this in all his appearances outside of the song portions of the music videos. Mostly averted during the actual songs, as he's frequently portrayed as talking, though his actual voice is never heard and is always dubbed over with Froggy Fresh's rapping.
- Henshin Hero: He becomes the Red Ranger in Street Rangers, working alongside Froggy's Blue Ranger in an homage to Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: To Froggy Fresh.
- In Mike's Mom, Mike's mom dies, and he begins to live with Froggy Fresh, as seen in Reindeer Games.
- Hyper-Competent Sidekick: Mike is occasionally portrayed as being somewhat more competent than Froggy Fresh is. In Street Rangers, he defeats Predator alone after Froggy decides to go home early in the middle of their fight. In Street Rangers 2, he and Gator end up leaving Froggy at home after he takes too long to put on his costume, and defeat James and Big Blue before he's even able to even show up.
- Somewhat subverted in the end in the latter example, as both Mike and Gator completely forget about rescuing Young Rob, who was Strapped to a Bomb by James and was the entire reason the Street Rangers were suiting up in the first place. Froggy reminds them of this after meeting up with the two long after they had won the fight and were on their way home. Unfortunately for Young Rob, he didn't remind them in time.
- Iconic Outfit: Frequently wore a blue Mac Miller T-shirt in most of his earlier appearances.
Word of God from Mike's Reddit AMA thread states that he ripped it while filming one of the videos, hence why he no longer wears it. - New Friend Envy: After the release of Me and Daniel Tosh, in which Krispy Kreme states the comedian is his best friend, he uploaded a vlog apologizing to Mike and admitting this wasn't true. He lets Mike punch him in the face as a form of apology.
- Revenge Before Reason: In Mike's Mom, when he makes the resolve to kill James to avenge his mother, regardless of consequences.
- Weapon Specialization: While he isn't shown wielding a weapon as often as Froggy Fresh or James, when he is, Mike is generally shown using a slingshot as his weapon of choice.
Supporting Characters
Gator Jones
- Early-Bird Cameo: Gator, or at least the person who portrays him, appears as a background character holding up an anti-James poster in Stolen Bikes 2 prior to his proper introduction in Jimmy Butler Is Your Father.
- Improbable Sports Skills: In Beast Mode, Froggy calls him an "athletic freak of nature".
- Henshin Hero: He's shown as the Black Ranger in Street Rangers 2.
- Remember the New Guy?: He first appears alongside Froggy and Mike with no introduction in Jimmy Butler Is Your Father.
- Sixth Ranger: He's the unofficial third to the duo of Froggy and Mike. Embodies this trope in a more literal way in Street Rangers 2.
Zombie Mike
He wants to play a game.
A game-loving zombie who lives in a room in Froggy Fresh's basement. When someone opens the door, they have to beat Zombie Mike in three games, or else they will be cursed to play games with him in the basement forever. First appearing in Zombie In My Basement, he makes several minor cameos in other videos.- Ambiguously Evil: He's mostly just portrayed as annoying instead of evil or truly villainous, and only makes minor, non-antagonistic cameos after his first appearance.
- Boom, Headshot!: Gets shot in the head with a Nerf dart by Doug the Irish Thug in Good Guy Shoes.
- Harmless Villain: He's barely a villain in the first place, merely wanting to play games with people, with the only real risk he poses being forced to play games with him forever if you lose to him. Thankfully, he's also terrible at every game he plays.
- Horror Hunger: He eats flesh like most typical depictions of his ilk, as seen in the end of Zombie In My Basement. Somewhat subverted, he isn't ever shown actively pursuing others to try and devour them, and has only been shown eating a severed arm that Froggy lured him back into his basement room with.
- One-Steve Limit: Shares his given name with Money Maker Mike. He's exclusively referred to as "Zombie Mike" for this reason.
- Sore Loser: He's portrayed as this when he loses, which is most of the time.
- The Three Trials: You have to beat him in three games in order to make him go back into his room. Fortunately, this isn't hard.
- The Undead: Appears visually as a classic example of this trope.
Antagonists
James
- The Aggressive Drug Dealer: In Fun Trip.
- Big Bad: Oh, so many things can be said about him.
- He steals Froggy Fresh and Mike's presents in Reindeer Games.
- He murders Mike's mother in Mike's Mom.
- He then nearly kills Mike while he was trying to avenge his mother.
- He gets Mike addicted to Fun Trip in Fun Trip.
- The Bully: He's this trope on steroids. Not only is James the neighborhood bully, beating up people and stealing their bikes, he's turned it into an entire operation, selling the bikes for profit. He's also a drug dealer and gang leader, and has no qualms about killing people.
- Catchphrase Insult: Frequently calls Froggy and Mike "Dumb and Dumber".
- Cheshire Cat Grin: Pulls one of these at the beginning of Reindeer Games after breaking into Froggy and Mike's house and seeing their pile of Christmas presents.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: His girlfriend appears in Dunked On and Good Guy Shoes.
- The Family That Slays Together: He gets his mother to try and suffocate Mike while he's in a coma in ER. A much less overtly villainous example is shown in Beast Mode, where James recruits his half-brother Tank to play backyard football against Froggy and co.
- How the Character Stole Christmas: He steals all of Froggy and Mike's Christmas presents in Reindeer Games.
- Jerkass Victim: In Reindeer Games, he steals Froggy Fresh and Mike's presents because he is living in poverty because bike season is over.
- Malicious Slander: Spreads lies about Froggy Fresh being gay in The Fight 2. Froggy proves insecure enough about it to try and fight him over it.
- Trigger-Happy: Giving how often he's shown brandishing a gun, it's no surprise he embodies this trope at times. In The Fight 2, he ends up bringing his gun to a fistfight Froggy challenged him to and thoroughly humiliates him at gunpoint.
- Villainous Breakdown: Breaks down into tears in Dunked On after Mike dunks a basketball in his face. Froggy Fresh and Mike take great pride in this, gloating about it in the chorus.
- Water Guns and Balloons: The Fight 2 mentions James invoking a particularly nasty version of this, throwing pee-filled balloons at Froggy and Mike.
- Weapon Specialization: He's frequently shown using a handgun, even pulling one out in situations where it'd be overkill to do so. While he's typically shown using a pistol, Reindeer Games has him wielding a magnum revolver instead.
- White Gangbangers: Embodies this trope, at least in the videos where his criminal activities are depicted.
- Whole Costume Reference: In Street Rangers 2, he's dressed up as the Joker.
- Your Worst Memory: Beast Mode implies that his breakdown in Dunked On serves as this for him after Gator scores an impressive touchdown against his team.Dove into the end zone like a baller
Then he celebrated with that Fish Outta Water
I could see the fire blazing in James' eyes
Having flashbacks to the day James cried
Big Blue
"Why's James crying?"
James' number two, be it in basketball or helping with his drug trade. He first appears as James' driveway basketball teammate in Dunked On.- The Big Guy: They don't call him "Big Blue" for nothing.
- Color Character: As his name indicates, he's usually dressed in a blue basketball jersey.
- The Dragon: To James.
- Iconic Outfit: Is almost always shown dressed in a blue New York Knicks jersey.
- Whole Costume Reference: In Street Rangers 2, he's dressed up as Venom, complete with Silly String web-shooters.
Christopher Kane
The man behind it all.
A mysterious old man who James has been living with. Mr. Kane is the one who makes Fun Trip, with James serving as the distributor.- Clandestine Chemist: He's mostly seen in the basement of his house, only coming up to deliver boxes of Fun Trip to James. In Stolen Bikes 3, we see the gruesome process he uses to produce the drug.
- Evil Brit: In Stolen Bikes 3, he's depicted as having an exaggerated cockney accent.
- Evil Gloating: Played with in Stolen Bikes 3, where he divulges the entire process of making Fun Trip on a radio show in order to win Bo Burnham tickets. Somewhat subverted, as he's merely pretending to present a theory on the recipe to win the tickets, though he accidentally slips into first-person briefly when describing the "hypothetical" process.
- The Faceless: Initially portrayed this Fun Trip, after being mentioned in Stolen Bikes 2. In Push Me, we finally see his face after he mysteriously appears in Froggy Fresh's dream, playing the piano.
- Mysterious Backer: To James. He lets James live with him and run his bike-stealing operation out of his shed. It's further revealed that he's the supplier for James' Fun Trip-dealing enterprise, with James and Big Blue kidnapping children for him to turn into product.
- The Spook: According to Froggy Fresh, no one really knows much of anything about him.
- Would Hurt a Child: Kane has no problem with kidnapping children and melting them down into Fun Trip.
Vinnie Velvet
"Got his hair permed out, had it lookin' like a helmet."
A gangster who works as part of James and Mr. Kane's drug trade. He most prominently features in Stolen Bikes 3, where he's swiftly knocked out by Froggy Fresh accidentally letting go of a pair of nunchucks.- '80s Hair: His most notable feature is his perm, with Froggy Fresh stating that it "looks like a helmet".
- Carpet of Virility: After his initial appearance at the beginning of Stolen Bikes 3, he's later seen with his tracksuit unzipped slightly, which reveals he has an extremely hairy chest.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Before his proper introduction in Stolen Bikes 3, he makes a short appearance in Street Rangers 2, where he's seen taking out the trash before getting knocked out by a football punted by Froggy. The same actor appears in the intro to the song measuring Froggy Fresh's head, though he's only wearing the green tracksuit and lacks the chain and sunglasses, making it uncertain as to whether or not he's supposed to be the same character there.
- Iconic Outfit: He's always seen in a green tracksuit, wearing aviator shades and a gold chain.
- Invasion of the Baby Snatchers: The first time we see him in Stolen Bikes 3, he's shown chasing after a child, cornering him alongside James in order to take him back to Kane to make him into Fun Trip.
- The Mafia: He resembles a stereotypical mobster.
- Martial Arts Staff: Vinnie wields one of these to fight Froggy Fresh in Stolen Bikes 3. Froggy accidentally knocks him out before he can use it.
- Tap on the Head: Both of his appearances have him getting knocked out after being hit on the head with something Froggy Fresh accidentally sent flying at him.
Giant Jimmy
And you thought Big Blue was big.
A friend of James' who appears in several songs. He first appears in Good Guy Shoes, and later appears on the album-only songs Giant Jimmy and The Last Shot.- The Giant: As his name indicates. He stands at 6'6" and is able to easily beat Froggy, Mike, and Gator at basketball.
- The Juggernaut: He's so big and tough that not even the police can stop him.
- Lean and Mean: He only weighs 150 pounds, and is described as being even skinnier than Mike.
- My Work Here Is Done: He simply bows and walks away after stabbing Froggy Fresh and uppercutting him out of the Good Guy Shoes, freeing him of his possession.
- Psycho Knife Nut: He has an affinity for stabbing people. He stabs the referee in Giant Jimmy after disagreeing with a call, and also stabs a Doug-possessed Froggy Fresh around 50 times before hitting him with an uppercut to the face in Good Guy Shoes.
Bulldog and Snake Eyes
Bulldog (left), James (center), and Snake Eyes (right).
Two of James' goons that appear in The Fight, squaring off against Froggy Fresh and Money Maker Mike.- Crosscast Role: Snake Eyes is referred to as male, but is portrayed by a woman.
- Faceless Goons: Both of them are dressed nearly identically, wearing sunglasses and a ski masks with a skull emblazened on them.
- The Juggernaut: Bulldog is depicted as this:Bulldog chased me to the top of the slide
I kicked him off the side, everybody thought he died
But he didn't, 'cause he never does
Bulldog is the toughest bad guy that there ever was - Weapon-Based Characterization: Bulldog, the more aggressive of the duo, uses a handgun, while Snake Eyes, the craftier of the two, uses a switchblade.
Michael Myers
- Adaptational Backstory Change: Features a different backstory from the Halloween films. In Halloween (the song), he's the source of the legend of the "Curse of the Birmingham Hearse"; it's stated that as a child, he was trapped in a hearse that went off the road after all four tires blew, resulting in him going missing, leaving nothing behind but his shoes.
- An Arm and a Leg: He gets his left arm hacked off by a lightsaber-wielding Froggy Fresh in Halloween II. He's shown with two arms still in his subsequent appearances, which is eventually explained in Halloween III as him having a robot arm.
- Elmuh Fudd Syndwome: When he's actually heard speaking, he tends to mispronounce some of his "R"s.
- Jaded Professional: In Bad Guys, he speaks at length about hating wearing his mask and outfit, as they apparently aren't very comfortable, especially during the summer.
- Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: Somewhat averted, as he's very blatantly supposed to the killer from Halloween, with little to no effort made to disguise that beyond a different backstory.
- Mistaken Identity: He's often mistaken for a mechanic due to his outfit, much to his chagrin.
- Start of Darkness: Became a murderer after being involved in a tragic hearse accident as a child, resulting in him going missing and presumed dead in the aftermath.
- Speech Impediment: He speaks with a slight lisp in Bad Guys and Halloween III.
- The Thing That Would Not Leave: He appears in Froggy Fresh's house in Nightmare On My Street to point and laugh at Farty Krueger, and is quickly shooed away by Froggy. He does the same thing in Zombie In My Basement, and is promptly shooed away again.
- The Voiceless: Played straight initially, though averted in later songs, as he talks regularly there.
- You Need a Breath Mint: Laments about having to constantly smell his breath wafting on the inside of his mask in Bad Guys, which evidently isn't very pleasant.
Farty Krueger
- Captain Ersatz: An obvious one of Freddy Krueger, the only major visual difference being the fact that Farty wears a backwards baseball cap instead of a fedora and the assorted silverware taped to his glove instead of claws. He's even referred to as "Freddy" a few times in Halloween III.
- Covered with Scars: He's covered in burns, just like Freddy Krueger.
- Dream Weaver: Obviously, it wouldn't be a Freddy Krueger parody without this.
- Embarrassing Tattoo: He apparently has a Jonas Brothers tattoo, which Froggy refers to as "the worst idea since Farty vs. Jason".
- Evil Smells Bad: As his name indicates, he apparently doesn't smell very good and is depicted as generally having poor hygiene. In Nightmare Before Christmas, his underwear is described as "brown and smelly" after receiving an atomic wedgie from Froggy Fresh. Partially subverted in the last example, as Mike proceeds to wedgie Froggy afterwards, with his underwear being described as twice as gross as Farty's. Froggy attempts to downplay this by insisting the packaging was torn when he bought them and asserting they must have been like that already.
- Forced into Evil: In Bad Guys, he admits that he doesn't like scaring people, and that he cares about them.
- Harmless Villain: While both Froggy and Mike seem to be afraid of him, most of what he's seen doing is harmless pranks, such as drawing on their faces or eating the spaghetti they set out for Santa Claus. Subverted in Halloween III, where he and the other two villains threaten to kill Froggy and Mike if they lose the basketball game, though fortunately for the pair, none of them are any good at basketball.
- I Just Want to Be Loved: In Bad Guys, he states that he just wants to "curl up on the couch with a really cute girl".
- You Need a Breath Mint: His breath "smells like cat poop" according to Froggy Fresh.
Jason Voorhees
- Adaptational Nationality: Speaks with a British accent in Bad Guys, unlike the original Jason who was both American and didn't speak.
- Bruiser with a Soft Center: According to Bad Guys, he's actually pretty a sensitive guy.
- Hockey Mask and Chainsaw: Given the original Jason is one of the biggest inspirations for this trope, this is naturally present in the parody version appearing in Froggy Fresh's songs, though like his original counterpart, he never actually uses a chainsaw. In Bad Guys, he admits he doesn't know why he wears the mask, as he doesn't like hockey at all.
- Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: Much like Michael Myers, this is somewhat averted, given there's little attempt to disguise that he's intended to be the same character as in the Friday the 13th films.
- Not Quite Dead: Gets back up in The Stinger after being presumed dead in Friday the 13th (the song), much like he often does in the movies he originates from. Somewhat subverted, as there's no explanation given for why he suddenly fell over unconscious, with Froggy and Mike just assuming he died for some reason.
- Pursue the Dream Job: In Bad Guys, he states that all he wants to do is be a DJ.
- The Voiceless: Initially played straight, like his original movie counterpart, though averted later, as in Halloween III he's depicted as speaking and he talks with a British accent in Bad Guys.
Doug the Irish Thug
"Hearts, stars, and horseshoes, clovers and blue moons..."
Click here to see him before he died
An Irish criminal possessing a pair of shoes who takes over Froggy Fresh's body in Good Guy Shoes. He died after being shot by a "crazy kid" named Curtis, whose yo-yo he had stolen, bleeding out while holding a pair of "Good Guy Shoes" that his spirit went on to possess.
- Body Snatcher: Possesses the body of whoever wears the Good Guy Shoes.
- Expy: Of Charles Lee Ray from the Child's Play franchise.
- Fake Irish: He's played by Tyler Cassidy doing an Irish accent. Justified in-universe, as whenever he talks it's intended to be Doug possessing Froggy Fresh's body.
- Fiery Redhead: Froggy Fresh even describes him as an "evil red-headed Irish thug"
- Not Quite Dead: After Froggy Fresh throws the shoes away, he possesses a child who fishes them out of the garbage can and puts them on.
- Oireland: He's portrayed as very stereotypically Irish, speaking in an exaggerated accent and begins the chorus by quoting a line from Lucky Charms commercials.
- Sticky Fingers: He's shown constantly robbing people.
- Weapon Specialization: He's primarily seen using a Nerf gun to commit his crimes.
- The Worf Effect: Easily manages to rob and humiliate James in front of his girlfriend.
Crazy Chris
An escaped mental patient who lives on the playground, appearing in Sleeping In The Tent. Froggy reluctantly invites him to his sleepover with Mike and their friend Todd after he overhears them discussing it. It doesn't go well.
- Accidental Murder: Murders Froggy Fresh's friend Todd with a sword. His reaction of immediately bursting into laughter after the fact brings into doubt how accidental it really was.
- An Offer You Can't Refuse: Froggy only allows him to join the sleepover out of fear of what he might do if they tell him "no".
- Ax-Crazy: Is a pretty clear example of this trope, given the first thing he does at the sleepover is start swinging Froggy's katana around, inadvertantly murdering Todd in the process. He then comes back with a chainsaw to try and get rid of the evidence.
- Disposing of a Body: Ends up chopping up Todd's corpse with a chainsaw in an attempt to hide the body. It doesn't help him much, as the police arrest him while he's still in possession of both.
- Hot Pursuit: After Froggy and Mike abandon him and retreat back into the house for the night, he apparently gets into an hour-long car chase with the police while attempting to dispose of Todd's body.
- Never My Fault: Attempts to share the blame for Todd's murder with Froggy and Mike. Froggy shuts this down quickly, making it very clear he bears the sole responsibility.
- The Patient Has Left the Building: Froggy mentions he lives on the playground year-round due to escaping from the "crazy person hospital".
- The Voice: Serves as this, since Sleeping In The Tent never got a video.
- Windmill Crusader: Played with, as the first thing Chris says after stabbing Todd in the stomach is "Todd, now your soul is free!"
