History Characters / BigMouthFamily

->'''Voiced By:''' Mark Duplass (Val) & Paul Scheer (Kurt)

** Nick and Andrew eventually discover that Judd close friends with a single mother and seems to get along really well with her kid.

--> '''Judd:''' I don't hate you, you're my brother. I just want the world to burn... and for you to get your dick wet.
** Nick and Andrew eventually discover that Jud is dating a single mother and seems to get along really well with her kid.

* PerpetualFrowner: His default expression seems to be an irritated scowl. Even when he smiles, it's more like a SlasherSmile.

* VagueAge: Judd lives at home and isn't mentioned to be attending any school, but he is apparently old enough to buy alcohol for his sister's party.

* AwfulWeddedLife: Downplayed, as Marty describes himself as an "angrily married man". Despite this, he does genuinely love Barbara and she reciprocates, but they easily get on each other's nerves.
** In Season 6 Marty's treatment of Barbara finally takes its toll and she leaves him. It takes [[spoiler: a Freaky Friday-style episode to fix things]].

* InkSuitActor: Greg looks very much like his voice actor, Seth Morris.

* TheLoinsSleepTonight: Greg is implied to have become outright impotent during the early seasons, likely due to his drug use, and was using erectyle dysfunction pills until eventually giving up on that too. Once he and Shannon separate, and he kicks his pot habit, this trope is averted, as he winds up with a girlfriend that he's almost 20 years older, [[spoiler: and ends up impregnating]].
* ManChild: {{Deconstruction}}. While Greg may be a decent person and good father, he still has the mindset of an adult child -- not having a job, making his wife handle all of the responsibilities, getting stoned most of the day, etc. It's one of the reasons his and Shannon's marriage becomes increasingly unstable. He does grow out of this after leaving the house, getting a place, a new job, becoming a cyclist and getting a new girlfriend.
** It's worth noting said girlfriend is 25-years-old, so while he's still clinging to his youth, it's not as self-destructive as it used to be. The two also seem to be well-suited (to the point that Shannon remarks on it), [[spoiler: and are expecting a child as of Season 5.]]

->'''Voiced By:''' Seth Morris

* GutturalGrowler: To a T.

* ParentalNeglect: She spends so much time drunk she can barely care for her family. She feeds her kids by throwing take out on the table and let them fight over it like animals while she goes back to drinking.
* PetTheDog: She acts very kindly and patient towards Coach Steve, enough to even sleep with her and being very understanding when he admits to being a virgin. And through Coach Steve she even acts somewhat more like a mother to Jay. Jay's happiness throughout the episode says it all.

* TookALevelInKindness: In a weird way, anyway. Coach Steve helps make her a little more level-headed and she actually starts acting like a mom to Jay... So to speak. Allowing Jay to call her "Mom", actually remembering to pick him up from school (albeit a little drunk even then), even cooking him and Coach Steve a meal and showing concern over Jay's age before giving him Cotton Candy Brandy. Still, based on what she was like in Season 1, it's a pretty decent step up for her.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Val of all characters, gets his time in the sun when he dates Nick's sister Leah, and even gets an episode in the 5th Season focusing primarily on their surprisingly positive relationship as they have sex for the first time.

* KickTheDog: One of them shot their old neighbors' dog in the eye with a slingshot, resulting in its death.

* SympatheticAdulterer: Deconstructed. Shannon is stuck in a dead marriage with a man who can't give her what she wants and is completely lost about who she exactly is. But it's still incredibly painful for both Jessi (who watched the decay of her parents' marriage through the years) and Greg (who has just discovered that his wife has been cheating on him and can't say whether she still loves him), and they are heartbroken over it. In other words, no matter how many excuses she can produce, or how valid they are, Shannon still cheated on her husband and destroyed her own family, and despite none of her acts coming from a place of malice, both Jessi and Greg still have every right to be pissed at her.
