Main Characters

    Lucas "Luc" Dylan Maxwell 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_luc_maxwell.png
Voiced by: Lyon Smith
The best friend of Theo and the only one of two people unaffected by the loop. Luc is a goofy and optimistic yet also impulsive, self-centered, and unintelligent underachiever who is determined to make the most out of being trapped in a time loop by seeking out as much thrill, fun, and mayhem as possible.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: Luc's stupidity causes more than self-harm. People around him are gravely endangered and often screwed over by him, just for acting like a classic bozo.
  • Book Dumb: In "The Exciting Conclusion", he didn't even know what books were.
  • Bumbling Sidekick: To Theo.
  • Chaotic Stupid: His stupidity constantly destroys Port Doover beyond repair. If not for the loop, everyone else would be dead.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: May be stupid, but he's a kick-ass fighter.
  • Dumb Blonde: A male variant.
  • Dumbass Has a Point: In "Part 2 of a Balanced Breakfast", he gave an inspirational speech to Theo, about how they should put an end to the loop.
  • Easily Forgiven: Theo manages to forgive him for even the most horrible of things.
  • Fan Boy: Die-hard superfan of in-series TV show character, Blast Kapow.
  • Gasshole: Seen farting often
  • Hollywood Tone-Deaf: Luc's said in many episodes that he hates singing because his voice admittedly sounds terrible and tries to avoid it at all costs. However, other episodes show him singing, without argument and his voice sounds perfectly good. In fact, this even goes for the episodes, where he claims he doesn't like singing. Although who could blame him for his beautiful voice, he does have the same voice actor as Grojband's one and only Corey Riffin.
  • Identical Grandson: He's this to Leo Wexler-Moltmann.
  • Idiot Hero: Saves the day, but it's usually him endangering it.
  • Idiot Houdini: The loop lets him get away with everything. "Rocket to Tomorrow" was exemplary of this. Luc cheated in the lottery, rode stowaway in a rocket to space, skipped his bedtime, almost broke himself and Theo free from the loop, endangered the lives of Claire, Theo, and Turk (well, that part mostly goes to Claire), and ended off the day, with the four of them being sacrificed by the clowns of Birthday Cake Island. Of course, he faced none of these consequences, because Claire told him that he'd be in big trouble tomorrow.
  • Invisible Parents: His parents went on a three day vacation, with the loop day, being the second, so they're never present.
  • Iron Butt Monkey: Though they are both subject to Amusing Injuries, he takes them more than Theo and is often the butt of jokes
  • Sweet Tooth: Loves the candy in the giant candy globe.
  • Relationship Revolving Door: Luc made Alianna his girlfriend, but since the day keeps getting reset, for him to maintain his relationship, he has to keep asking her out every Monday.

    Theodore "Theo" Merton Jr. 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_theo_merton_jr.png
Voiced by: Kevin Duhaney

The best friend of Luc and the only other person unaffected by the loop. As the smarter and more sensible one, Theo is the voice of reason to Luc and much more interested in learning about the loop and potentially ending it. But when not researching the loop or doing other nerdy things, he's eagerly seeking out the fun to be had out of it.


  • All Love Is Unrequited: Gwyn will never return his feelings.
  • Black and Nerdy: Theo is African-American and a total nerd.
  • The Cynic: Often acts very negative and pessimistic about the loop.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Makes a few snarks about Luc.
    Theo: I would test out this laser on you, but I'm afraid of the affects it could have on your brain.
    Luc: (Running around the room, acting like a psycho) Fwang! Fwang! Fwang! Fwang!
    Theo: Nevermind.
  • Don't Explain the Joke: Theo explains reasons why Luc's comedic misunderstandings are wrong.
  • Embarrassing Old Photo: In "11 Minutes to Lame", there was a picture of him wetting his pants at his birthday party, when he was only in third grade.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: He's basically a black Kin Kujira when it comes to inventions and experiments.
  • I Just Want to Be Normal: In "Fortuitous Future", he experienced melancholy over repeating the same day over and over again and just wanted it to end
  • Infodump: The show's #1 source of this.
  • Meaningful Name: "Theo" means "God", and since Theo's being in the loop, basically gives him omnipotence, the power to control just about everything, and virtual invincibility, the name describes him nicely.
  • Nerd Glasses: Wears them.
  • Secret-Keeper: Wants to keep the loop a secret from everyone, but there's really no point in doing that, since people who aren't in the loop DO in fact, forget everything with each coming Monday.
  • The Smart Guy: The brains of the group.
  • Smart People Wear Glasses: Wouldn't be Theo without them.

Supporting Characters

    Jesse 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_jesse.png
Voiced by: Scott Gorman
The prolific, uncivilized, and short-tempered school bully of Port Doover Elementary. He's a proud vegetarian who loves animals and nature, as well as picking on other kids. Every Monday, he "fart-boxes" (stuffs someone into a box that he then farts in) Luc and Theo after school after Luc stains his clothes with pizza sauce at lunch.
  • Animal Lover: Ironically, he's far kinder and more compassionate towards animals than he is towards other children.
  • Barbaric Bully: Jesse has no restraints on the way he acts.
  • Big Ol' Unibrow: of the malevolent variety.
  • Bruiser with a Soft Center: Jesse really loves small animals, like birds and bunnies. In fact, he loves them so much that he refuses to eat meat.
  • The Bully: The classic school bully archetype, with his preferred victims being Luc, Theo, and Lester.
  • Bully and Wimp Pairing: He's the bully to Lester's wimp.
  • Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Or in this case, Jesse has a soft spot for his grandmother (or "nam nam" as he calls her).
  • Friend to All Living Things: Except humans.
  • Gasshole: His go-to method of bullying is trapping Luc and Theo in a wooden box, farting in it, and sealing them in there, until they gag and rot from the horrendous smell. Something about him only eating vegetables just makes the scent even worse, for some reason.
  • Granola Guy: He's a strict vegetarian and a nature-lover who prefers natural foods and products.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: He has a very short fuse, which leads to things like Lester getting shoved into a locker for spilling a drink on him or Luc and Theo getting "fart-boxed" after Luc stains his shoes with pizza.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: As the resident bully, he's got mean down in spades, but he does have a soft side when it comes things he cares about like his grandmother or the environment.
  • Production Throwback: The skull on his shirt is the same as the one on Duncan's shirt in Total Drama, Eric Needles' shirt in Sidekick, and Corey Riffin's beanie in Grojband, all of which are shows that Todd Kauffman and Mark Thornton were heavily involved in the production of.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: Despite his bully status, he does occasionally help Luc and Theo solve an episode's conflict without really expecting anything in return.

    Gwyneth "Gwyn" Sanders 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_gwyn_sanders.png
Voiced by: Denise Oliver
A sweet and nerdy but very mercurial girl whom Theo has a gargantuan crush on. However, she hates Theo with a passion and has an equally obsessive crush on Luc, who responds to her with the same disgust she gives Theo. She is always checking on her incubating egg in the science room at lunch and practicing her nose-flute after school on Mondays.
  • Accidental Misnaming: Always addresses Theo by another name that starts with "T". In "She's All Bot", Theo built a robotic version of her, and even that had the same problem.
  • All Love Is Unrequited: Gwyn will never love Theo and Luc will never love her.
  • Berserk Button: Any other girl being in love with Luc.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: A one-sided version towards Luc. She's very fierce towards who threaten to take Luc away from her.
  • Cute Bookworm: That's her alright.
  • Expy: She has a great deal in common with Kitty Ko and Mina Beff, such as their nerdy characterization, sweet personality, and having a huge crush on another character. They even all share the same voice actress!
  • Friendless Background: Never had friends growing up.
  • I Just Want to Have Friends: Gwyn has no friends and nobody ever talks to her. She was rather clingy, in "Glitch Girl", when "Theodora" showed up and she assumed she could be making a new friend.
  • Love Triangle: When she's thrown into the chemistry with the main two characters, it forms one of these. Luc and Theo are mutual friends, Theo loves Gwyn, Gwyn hates Theo, but Gwyn loves Luc, and Luc hates Gwyn.
  • Mood-Swinger: She can switch between sickly sweet and scarily mean very quickly when interacting with Luc and Theo whenever the boys are together.
  • Murder by Inaction: Luc and Theo were in grave danger once and Gwyn only saved Luc. Luc have her a look and said her name, causing her to sigh and go back for Theo.
  • Rose-Haired Sweetie: Gwyn has pink hair and her personality conforms to it. Gwyn is overly happy, often outgoing, and can be in-your-face, especially around Luc.
  • Shrinking Violet: She's completely afraid of approaching potential friends or even her crush.
  • Stalker with a Crush: Gwyn is madly in love with Luc and doesn't leave him alone.
  • Super-Hearing: In "She's All Bot", she can hear Luc saying her name from miles away.
  • Yandere: Her crush on Luc.

    Sarah Doover 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_sarah.png
Voiced by: Alyson Court
The pretty, perfect, popular, and plastic queen bee of Port Doover Elementary. She's saving her voice for a singing competition on Friday, so she never talks and communicates entirely via texting. She always slips on Lester's spilled drink in the morning and distracts the school with her hairbrushing at assembly.
  • Alpha Bitch: Sarah rules the school.
  • Attention Whore: She constantly demands that everyone in the school be paying attention to her.
  • Beware the Quiet Ones: Sarah may not say a single word, but she's arguably the most powerful character in the series, not even needing the loop to take control over Luc and Theo in "The Replacements".
  • Control Freak: Holds the entire school under her management and without her mooks, by her side, she goes crazy, without anyone to support her. She then goes on a wild goose chase to find two other lackeys to do her bidding for her.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Or in her case, "Deadpan Texter".
  • Elective Mute: Due to the fact she's saving her voice for an important event, she chooses not to speak.
  • Emotionless Girl: Only makes real facial expressions in hardcore moments of distress.
  • Everyone Loves Blondes: Probably one of the main reasons for her unbridled popularity.
  • Famous Ancestor: She's a great descendant of town founder, Wilt Doover.
  • The Voiceless: Sarah never talks and communicates entirely through text messages.

    Kelly and Kelli 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_kelly_and_kelli.png
Voiced by: Stephanie Lynn Robinson
Identical twin sisters (which one is which is never identified in the show, although frankly it doesn't matter) who are the loyal followers of Sarah. Likeminded to eerie levels and sycophantic in the extreme, they do all the talking and all the dirty work for Sarah, who commands them through her constant texting.
  • Always Identical Twins: The two girls are pretty much impossible to tell apart.
  • Berserk Button: Taking their Sarah away.
  • Girl Posse: To Sarah, who makes the two of them do her dirty work.
  • Sibling Rivalry: Despite their creepy similarities, they appear to have deep-rooted hatred for each other and constantly ask others which one is the superior twin.
  • Single-Minded Twins: Kelly and Kelli truly share the same brain.
  • Theme Twin Naming: Their names are nearly identical, with the sole difference being that one is pronounced "Kell-ee" and the other is "Kell-eye".
  • Those Two Girls: As Sarah's loyal minions.
  • Tornado Move: They call theirs' the "Twin Tornado".
  • Voice for the Voiceless: They act as this for Sarah, issuing her commands and stating her texts out loud to others.

    Kyle Bush 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_kyle_bush.png
Voiced by: Adam Cawley
An extremely popular, charitable, good-hearted, and heroic hunk that every girl in the school has a crush on and every boy in the school looks up to. He's very mature for his age, is friends with everyone in Port Doover, and is always doing good deeds around town. His unbridled flawlessness makes Luc hate him and wish for his downfall.
  • The Ace: To intentionally absurd levels. He's extremely skilled, always lucky, ridiculously nice, and has literally no flaws.
  • All-Loving Hero: Kyle loves everyone and everything.
  • Always Someone Better: It's the reason why Luc can't stand him.
  • Big Man on Campus: A miniature version of this exaggerated to over-the-top levels of perfection.
  • Cheerful Child: Kyle is mildly happy at all times, and nothing can ever anger or dissatisfy him.
  • Chick Magnet: Is the apple of the eyes of Sarah, Kelly, Kelli, Gwyn, Splash Hannah, Lunchlady Trudy, and various other female characters.
  • Easily Forgiven: He is extremely understanding towards those hostile to him and will forgive them no matter what.
  • Expy: Basically a younger and even more exaggerated version of Nick Mallory.
  • Famous Ancestor: In "Fallout Room Boy", he had an ancestor named Lyle Bush, who lived during the same age as Sarah's famous ancestor, Wilt Doover.
  • Friend to All Living Things: Kyle has managed to make himself the most well-beloved member of Port Doover.
  • Nice Guy: Kyle has no enemies and treats everyone perfectly, while still showing himself enough self-respect to get by.
  • Not Allowed to Grow Up: The day of the loop, Monday, October 12th, is his birthday, making him celebrate his big day every single episode.
  • Parody Sue: Kyle is portrayed as super handsome, intelligent, selfless, and compassionate. He is adored by everyone in the school, very mature for his age, friends with all the teachers, and allowed to do things the other kids can't (like going into the teachers' lounge). He also has amazing athletic abilities, has saved babies and elderly people from danger, does good deeds around town every day, uses his spare time for charity work, etc. All of this is completely intentional and entirely Played for Laughs.
  • Twinkle Smile: Kyle's teeth are so shiny, that his smile perfectly substitutes a broken out lighthouse light bulb.
  • Unknown Rival: Luc despises his goody two-shoes perfection, but Kyle treats Luc as a friend and is always nice to him.

    Lester 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_lester.png
Voiced by: Mark Edwards
An intelligent but antisocial nerd whose interests include LARPing, video games, and trading card games. He gets stuffed into his locker every Monday by Jesse after bumping into him and spilling his drink while being distracted by his video game, then spending the entire school day there to enjoy the quiet and secluded personal time.
  • Ambiguously Brown: Lester's ethnicity is never explicitly stated, but his skin is lighter than Theo's and darker than Jan's. He might be Indian however, as it is revealed in "Nerdnesia" that he has an Indo-Austrian girlfriend named Mai with the same skin and hair color as himself.
  • Bully and Wimp Pairing: He's the wimp to Jesse's bully.
  • Catchphrase: Due to the loop, if one were to open the locker at precisely the moment, when he's playing video games, he'll sputter out "I say, close the door! You're leakin' light all over my screen!"
  • Dork Knight: Used his nerdy hacking skills to have Luc, Theo, Claire, and Turk, when they were marooned in a broken space ship.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: Though not to the extent of Theo, he's very skilled with computer coding and hacking.
  • Girlfriend in Canada: Luc and Theo are quite surprised when they learn that his Indo-Austrian girlfriend Mai is real.
  • Hidden Depths: Secretly, he has connections with intergalactic space aliens he sees on a regular basis and treats like normal friends.
  • Innocent Prodigy: A very smart and intellectual boy, but he rarely ever leaves his locker to interact with anyone in the real world. However, he does have a blossoming social relationship with people in a different real world.
  • LARP: After school, he goes larping with aliens.
  • No Man Should Have This Power: Obtained immunity to the loop in "Nerdnesia" after a resetting error causes him to replace Theo in the loop while the two were in the middle of a card game at Theo's garage.
  • Stuffed into a Locker: His main deal is that he bumps into Jesse in the halls, getting himself stuffed into his locker. He spends the entire day in there, apparently liking the peace and quiet in there.

    Amy 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_amy.png
Voiced by: Stacey DePass
A creepy, macabre, and cynical Goth girl who spends the majority of the school day hiding out in the school basement and away from all the other kids and the teachers. Due to her loner attitude, what she does every Monday is a mystery to even Luc and Theo, but the two of them occasionally seek her out for assistance.
  • Absurd Phobia: She's terrified of giant pink stuffed bears.
  • Anti-Hero: Amy is always on Luc and Theo's side, but she occasionally likes to screw with them and give them crap. She even became the villain in "Monday Circles".
  • Badly Battered Babysitter: As a part-time babysitter, she's this to Virginia, her vampire girl regular customer.
  • Can't Get Away with Nuthin': Judging by "Ronnie Trasco", it's implied she got caught skipping school at some point and was sent to detention for it.
  • Cute Is Evil: You can't fool her. She sees the darkness in even lovable, huggable teddy bears.
  • Goth: Her archetype and overall character.
  • No Man Should Have This Power: Obtained immunity to the loop in "Monday Circles" after getting a hold of Theo's tablet and learning of its existence (even making herself a reminder video for the loop's reset).
  • Purple Is the New Black: Her Gothic wardrobe.
  • Skipping School: Hides out in the basement every Monday to avoid the chaos of school.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: Amy has a pretty high opinion of herself.
  • Vampire Vannabe: Acts, dresses, sleeps, and even babysits a vampire. Why she hasn't "vamped" herself yet, having these connections to notorious "vampers", is beyond any in-series reasoning. If she was a vampire, she'd be considered supernatural, and therefore immune to the loop, giving her too much freedom and power over Luc and Theo. And we all saw how that turned out in "Monday Circles".

    Principal Applecrab 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_principal_applecrab.png
Voiced by: Darren Frost
The frail and scrawny principal of Port Doover Elementary who's a bigger loser than even the dweebiest students and has only the barest amount of control over his own school. Every Monday, he holds an assembly in the afternoon, which Luc and Theo often use to give him joke speech notes that force him to do painful and humiliating things.
  • Adults Are Useless: Provides no help for Luc, Theo, or any other kid at Port Doover Elementary due to how wimpy and incompetent he is.
  • Butt-Monkey: Luc and Theo like to make him do angerous stunts or embarrassing performances, such as fighting wild animals or eating raw eggs.
  • Hidden Depths: He wants to become a great stage magician.
  • Meaningful Name: His name is a pun on "Crabapple", which is known for it's sour and bitter taste, not too much unlike his personality.
  • Stage Magician: He performs magic tricks for little kids after school.

    Coach Lessard 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/coach_lessard.png
Voiced by: Seán Cullen
Luc and Theo's gym teacher, who is lethargic, out-of-shape, always gets around via a golf cart, and usually seen stuffing his face with junk food. Every Monday, he holds an extremely one-sided dodgeball game in gym class and then chases the school's pet piranha when it escapes, only to crash his golf cart when going after it on the roof.
  • Adipose Rex: So fat that he needs to drive a golf cart around the school.
  • Adults Are Useless: Although Luc and Theo consider him the school's best teacher, he's still pretty incompetent when it comes to looking after the kids and solving problems for them.
  • Artificial Limbs: One of his arms is made out of metal after it was chewed off by the school piranha.
  • Big Eater: Is often seen eating as he's driving around his golf cart.
  • The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes: He's a gym teacher who's clinically obese, out of shape, and just waiting for a heart attack to take him away.
  • Formerly Fit: "Badmerton to the Bone" reveals him to be this due to his old career as a champion badminton player.
  • Moby Schtick: He has a fierce rivalry with the school piranha due to it eating one of his arms and constantly pursues it. The episode "Moby Piranha" is even entirely dedicated to this.

    Mr. LemonJello 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_lemonjello.jpg
Voiced by: Seán Cullen
Luc and Theo's ridiculously bland and monotonous science teacher who has pretty much given up at his job. Every Monday, he holds an extremely boring class on flies (although Luc and Theo like to trick him into teaching different subjects), only to be interrupted by Coach Lessard crashing into the room to announce badminton tryouts.

    Claire 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/claire_8.png
Voiced by: Athena Karkanis
Luc's incompetent and self-centered babysitter, as his parents are on a three-day vacation. Since the loop takes place on the second day of their vacation, she's become his permanent guardian. Every Monday, she drives to Port Doover Elementary to give Luc his lunch, only to rear end another car due to her awful driving abilities.
  • Adults Are Useless: Her terrible driving and selfish attitude make her an extremely inept guardian for Luc.
  • Babysitter from Hell: Claire is a rude, bossy, and hateful babysitter towards Luc.
  • Drives Like Crazy: Rear ends a guy every Monday and drives no better in any other situation.
  • Fangirl: Goes back a few years when it comes to Turk Parfait.

    Jerry Rivers 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jerry_rivers.png
Voiced by: Sergio Di Zio
The bespectacled school reporter for Port Doover Elementary, who hosts a news show that does important and factual if extremely boring coverage of every major event that students at the school ought to know about. Every Monday, he does a field report on the tightening of a loose screw on Port Doover's statue of town founder, Wilt Doover.
  • A Day in the Limelight: The episode "Loop - There It Is" features him much more prominently than normal, with Luc and Theo's shenanigans for the episode directly involving him.
  • The Bore: His reports are generally considered to be agonizingly snore-inducing by the students of Port Doover Elementary.
  • Ignored Expert: As Luc and Theo find out the hard way (despite his pleas for them to listen to him), his report on the loose screw on the town founder's statue is actually of extreme importance as the screw holds a giant Loopy Loop in Wilt Doover's hand that will fall off and threatens to wreck the whole town if ignored.
  • School Newspaper News Hound: As the school's resident reporter, he's always ready to cover that latest scoop and takes his job very seriously.
