Cloudcuckoolander: Practically all the characters are completely nuts thanks to Google Translate.

Adaptational Villainy: In the movie, she's an optimistic heroine, but in "For the First Time in Forever", she implies that she'll kill everyone.
Ambiguous Start of Darkness: In "For the First Time in Forever", it's a little ambiguous whether her desire to kill everybody is because was slowly Driven to Madness, she was mad to begin with, she's high on some extremely powerful drug, or it's the bizarre effects of being drunk on sparkling wine.

First Law of Gender Bending: He broke this rule by turning female for "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" but turning male again for "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?"
Gender Flip: Zigzagged. Is a female in "I Just Can't Wait to Be King". However, she turns back into a male in "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?".

The Fundamentalist: Believes that scientists are strange while she has the holy spirit. Seeing that for her, the holy spirit is the spirit of abysmal despair, she probably doesn't believe in a benevolent god.

Ambiguously Bi: She refers to Rapunzel as "simple, pure, straight trash" but she could be being hypocritical. She could also be bi, or even a lesbian or asexual. Given the fact that she never expresses attraction to anyone even in canon, it's hard to say.

Adaptational Dye-Job: Has grey hair while the real King Frederick has brown hair.
Aside Glance: Looks at the camera while Rapunzel is photographing him.

Hillary, meaning he (she?) may actually be a trans woman (though Hillary is actually an unisex name but thanks to how notable Hillary Rodham Clinton is, it caused that name to be associated with her thus many people thought it was a female name), but then again, he's still described as a son in the intro, and to muddy the waters further, becomes pregnant at one point, suggesting he/she/they is a cis woman.

Barbie

A popular fashion doll who holds many jobs. During the Google Translate cover of several songs from The '90s, one of them was "Barbie Girl", a song by a band named Aqua, parodying her.

Animate Inanimate Object: Apparently, she's a Barbie globe.
Demoted to Extra: In the original "Barbie Girl" song, she is the one singing. However, in the cover, Malinda is singing (and not from Barbie's perspective) and mentions Barbie, who is not seen.
The Ghost: Barbie is mentioned, but not seen.

Madonna

Sweet Polly Oliver: Apparently Madonna is actually a man named Ben.

John Denver

Sanity Slippage: In Country Roads he wants to take a road trip, but can't because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of this, he slowly lost sanity and he hallucinated his dog telling him to kill the radio.

Rihanna

Compulsive Liar: Implied, as it was mentioned that she likes lies.
Lazy Bum: States that she loves laziness.

GTS original characters

Bobby

Mentioned by Taylor Swift (or possibly Malinda singing Taylor Swift) and Malinda.

Hollywood Atheist: According to Taylor (Malinda?), Bobby has no faith, and he can't think too much thinking.

Mary's Boyfriend

This was a character who featured in the "Jolly Holiday" part of the Mary Poppins medley and appeared to be Mary's boyfriend until Bert interrupted. He is considered an original character because he doesn't exist in the actual Mary Poppins film.

Canon Foreigner: In the real Jolly Holiday scene, he wasn't there.
Nice Guy: According to Bert, he's very generous.
No Name Given: He never gets introduced or introduces himself.
The Speechless: Never gets a chance to say anything.

The Duck

According to Google Translate, the singer of "All I Want For Christmas is You" is now a duck.

Chosen Conception Partner: Wants to procreate with Santa for Christmas.
Interspecies Romance: Zigzagged. She claims not to want Santa himself but to want to have her kids with him.
Lie Back and Think of England: She doesn't want Santa personally, but wants to have her kids with him.
Talking Animal: She's singing and a duck. It's unknown where she falls on the Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism.

Bessie

Mentioned in "Mama Mia".

Uncertain Doom: Although she has an "R.I.P." hashtag, the singer is unsure whether she died the previous summer or not.

Dick

A man or boy mentioned in "Google Translate Reads Your Horoscope".

A Dick in Name: Malinda says, "Get your mind out of the gutter! It's a capital 'D'! It's a person!"

Linda

A drug-addicted lesbian, who features in "Baby, it's Cold Outside".

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In the original song, the man and the woman were boyfriend and girlfriend. Here, they're friends, probably because Linda is a lesbian.
Shared Family Quirks: Her family seems to share the trait of insanity. Her mother married Satan, her father was arrested for reasons unknown (meaning he can't be Satan at least as Satan has too much power), and Linda herself is a druggie, can't draw, and forgets how to drink water.
Neat Freak: She really likes cleaning.

Karid

Linda's best friend.

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Perhaps because Linda is a lesbian, he went from being her boyfriend to her best friend.
Nice Guy: When apparently told to kill his grandfather he refuses, and he seems concerned about some cold women outside (though perhaps that's because he finds them attractive).

Ed Sheeran's Son

Mentions quite frequently within the "Perfect" video.

Ambiguous Gender: While Ed Sheeran did refer to the child as the singer's son, Sheeran also claims that "he is my daughter" earlier on in the video.
Parental Incest: Implied with Ed Sheeran, as the singer states that they play in the dark together.

Joe, Al and Louis Lanman

The singers of the Eminem songs through Google Translate.

Absurdly Youthful Mother: Implied with Al's mother, as Al is surprised to find out she's older than him.
Accidental Misnaming: Other singers call Al "Bongo" and "Soup" before finally getting his name right.
Cloudcuckoolander: While all of the characters on this show are this, Al deserves special mention as he somehow thought that his mom wasn't older than him.
Decomposite Character: While Eminem sings all three of his own songs that were featured on this show, those songs are sung all by three different characters on this show.
The Omniscient: Played With for Joe as it was mentioned that he knows everything only for it to be stated that he fails in the line beforehand. Perhaps he simply isn’t coordinated enough.

Emma

Makes an appearance in the "We Don't Talk About Bruno" video.

Ambiguously Evil: It's unclear if the Madrigal aren't talking about Emma because she is evil or because they find her to be too hot to their dismay. Since Emma is always represented with flames in the background and doing ambiguous poses, It could go either way.
Fanservice with a Smile: Runs a "hot barista".
