Red

Voiced by: Jon Lovitz (1995-1996), Billy West (1996-present)
  • Big Guy, Little Guy: The Little Guy to Yellow's Big Guy.
  • Butt-Monkey: Particularly when he realizes he's about to be eaten.
  • Chivalrous Pervert: He has a lot of moments implying he loves to get down and work it, but he's not that bad of a guy at the end of the day.
  • Deadpan Snarker: The snarkiest out of all the candies, especially towards his friend Yellow.
  • Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: He's the Grumpy to Yellow's Gleeful. He's generally sardonic.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Yellow, the two are usually hanging out together in commercials.
  • It's All About Me: Comes up when he gets competitive or shows off how great he is.
    Red: Vote on one issue this election. Me!
  • Jerkass: To anybody who tries to eat him or anybody that hurts his ego.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Towards Yellow sometimes. Yeah, he's not that bad. He's a cynic, but he cares for the gang and warms up to Caramel after he proves his worth.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Fittingly, he's Red Oni to Yellow's Blue Oni, even though they're both warm colors.
  • Road Runner vs. Coyote: In the Minis commercials, he and Yellow serve as the Coyotes to the Minis' Road Runners.
  • Shorter Means Smarter: He's often paired with the taller and dimmer Yellow.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: Being the main character of the M&M crew definitely goes to his shell (even though this might be because he acts like a young, slightly better, version of Miss Brown, who isn’t bad either, because their relationship implies he resembles her the most).
  • Smart Jerk and Nice Moron: The Smart Jerk to Yellow's Nice Moron.
  • Those Two Guys: With Yellow. They appear together more than the other characters.
  • Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Is noticeably shorter than Green.

Yellow

Voiced by: John Goodman (1995-1996), J. K. Simmons (1996-present)
  • Big Guy, Little Guy: The Big Guy to Red's Little Guy.
  • Butt-Monkey: Due to his cluelessness, he ends up getting in some pretty bad situations.
  • The Ditz: Has become dumber as the years went by.
  • Flanderization: His lack of intelligence, which has gotten worse over the years.
  • Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: He's the Gleeful to Red's Grumpy. He's dim-witted but sweet.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Red, the two are usually hanging out together in commercials.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: He's the only one who appreciates the Minis' company, to the point of leaving them in charge of the Candy Factory in The Lost Formulas, when everyone else knows that all they cause is trouble and destruction.
    Yellow: Well, the Minis aren't that bad. All they need is a chance!
  • Major Injury Underreaction: Yellow falls over saying a weak "Oops, uh-oh!" when taking damage in The Lost Formulas. Subverted when falling into milk, chocolate, or dyes, where he gives a more panicked "Woah!"
  • Nice Guy: Compared to all the others, he's definitely the kindest (and the most gullible).
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: He's Blue Oni to Red's... well, Red Oni, even though they're both very Red Oni-ish.
  • Road Runner vs. Coyote: In the Minis commercials, he and Red serve as the Coyotes to the Minis' Road Runners.
  • Smart Jerk and Nice Moron: The Nice Moron to Red's Smart Jerk.
  • Spectacular Spinning: Yellow's method of attack in M&M's: The Lost Formulas/Shell Shocked, which are clones of Crash Bandicoot.
  • Those Two Guys: With Red. They appear together more than the others.
  • Vocal Evolution: J. K. Simmons originally gave Yellow a deeper, bass voice. He switched to a more energetic one a few years later.

Green

Voiced by: Cree Summer (1997-present)

Blue

Voiced by: Robb Pruitt (1995-present)
  • Casanova Wannabe: Despite being the most suave out of all the M&M's, he hasn't managed to get anybody yet.
  • The Comically Serious: This ad says it all
  • Cool Shades: At times, he wears classic black sunglasses.
  • Jerkass: Not as much as Red, but sometimes he can be one.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: What Blue became personality-wise after Flanderization. While he does have a relatively big name, his ego would have you believe he was the only important spokescandy.
  • Straight Man: He is this to Red and Yellow's antics in one ad.

Orange (Crispy)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6c4c350e3276f1d3cf9a1f698d69dcec.jpg
Voiced by: Eric Kirchberger (1999-present)
  • Butt-Monkey: Poor Orange, he gets stalked the most out of all the other M&M's and he now has a living pretzel periodically grafted inside him. In the rhyming ad, he is told that nothing rhymes with orange, preventing him from getting his own rhyme like the others.
  • Properly Paranoid: Given how he's been stalked by would-be eaters, Orange's paranoia is justified.
  • Retcon: Orange was previously named Crispy in advertisements, in fitting of him originally being a Crispy M&M before becoming a Pretzel M&M in recent years. Thus, Red took on the role of being the mascot for Crispy M&M's.
  • The Sleepless: As stated on the official site.

Ms. Brown

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/10f127e882dd560da00754871a653197.jpg
Voiced by: Vanessa Williams (2012-present)
  • Affirmative Action Girl: The second female main character to be introduced.
  • Berserk Button: When anyone (specifically guys) either say she's naked or say anything about her related to the big-bang instead of how absolutely smart she is. And it's probably a lie about her bio, which says she hates Red (obviously not true).
  • Deadpan Snarker: She's more classy than Red and Blue, but she can still snark when she gets annoyed.
  • Does Not Like Men: Except William Levy.
  • Foil: To Green, being far less energetic and much more serious. Also, while Green mostly enjoys the attention she receives for her beauty, Brown is highly annoyed by it.
  • Jerkass: To anybody that tries to hit on her, especially Red.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She may be a total straw feminist at times and she sometimes goes harsher with Red than Red himself does with Yellow, but she's not bad, and if her QNA is anything to go by, she thinks of the other M&M's as her children.
  • Nude-Colored Clothes: She's a brown M&M with brown chocolate inside her.
  • Smart People Wear Glasses: She wears glasses and is typically portrayed as feeling she's Surrounded by Idiots.
  • Straw Feminist: She is shown berating people (particularly men) for assuming things about her because of her appearance rather than her intellect.
  • Tsundere: She goes on a date with William Levy and gets offended to how he is only liking her for being a M&M's candy. But in the end can't shake the fact that she also finds him handsome.

Purple

    Other Characters 

Chocolate Bar

  • I'm Melting!: He lies down in a lounge chair on hot summer day. The next thing everybody knows, he's nothing more than a puddle of chocolate goo.

M&M's Minis

  • Death Seeker: In a bizarre way, given that they're actively seeking to be eaten.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: If the ending of M&M's: The Lost Formulas is of any indication.
  • Karma Houdini: They never get any karma for the chaos they cause. Well, they do get eaten, but that's what they want anyway.
  • Put on a Bus: Noticeably absent in recent years, with the normal Spokescandies being used to promote Minis in their place.
  • Road Runner vs. Coyote: They serve as the Road Runners to Red and Yellow's Coyotes.
  • The Unintelligible: They fly around and say a bunch of nonsensical gibberish.

Grey Imposter M&M

Master M

Pretzel

Voiced by: Maurice Lamarche (2010-2012)

The Lost M&M's Tribe

Caramel

Voiced by: David Cross (2017)
  • Nerd Glasses: Wears a pair of glasses, but unlike Ms. Brown, they're used for his nerd status. Also, you wonder how they stay on.
  • Nice Guy: He comes off as a nerd, but he sure does count as this trope.
