** A more genuine example, in Season 2 after meeting an older gay man who advises him to try and be a little bit kinder to people he tries to do exactly that. And when he sees Jay looking upset after his friends hear about Coach Steve having sex with his mother, Matthew offers him a place in the Teacher's Lounge to sleep in with him. Sure Jay turns it down (thanks to the Shame Wizard's influence) but it was still pretty kind and generous of Matthew.

An openly gay classmate of the main characters. He's the bitchy host of the school morning news who loves to fuel the fires of personal drama to everybody.
----
* {{Backstory}}: He mentions this by name in season 2, saying that he used to be cyberbullied in Texas and called the Steer Queer.
* BelligerentSexualTension: [[spoiler:In Season 2, he gains some of this with Jay of all people near the end as Matthew frequently pokes fun of him and Jay often quickly retorts in annoyance even when Matthew tries to offer some friendship to him, and when Jay rejects him Matthew responds with his typical name-calling. But during the slumber party they end up making out after the Smooch or Share game led to their first kiss (Matthew's at least and Jay's first boy kiss). And although Matthew brushes him off the next day, it's highly implied that Jay is still attracted him.]]
* CampGay: Perhaps the first animated depiction of a ''bitchy'' gay friend, as he's very catty and sassy.
* ClosetKey: [[spoiler:During the sleepover, Matthew and Jay kiss during a spin the bottle game. When they talk about it again, they make out. This later leads Jay to realize he is bisexual]].
* TheDandy: Is always well dressed. At one point, he also wears a cowboy costume for no apparent reason.
* GayBestFriend: Claims this role for Jessi in the very first episode. They seem to have a somewhat nicer relationship than with others and he appears to enjoy her wittiness. This gets deconstructed in Season 2; girls don't really see him as a boy and other boys isolate him because they see him only as a gay guy and in part because of his bitchy personality. At the end of the day, he feels somewhat stuck in a role he has to play to maintain his girl friends and doesn't quite feels he fits in any group.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Sure he enjoys picking on people and fueling drama, but just like everyone else in the party, he is disgusted with Daniel when he learns that he forces girls to give him blowjobs and slut shames them when they don't comply to his demands, even calling Daniel a "busy little asshole".
* HiddenDepths: Matthew has a hard time fitting in on school when he isn't being a bitchy gay guy. When he tries to become nicer and let his guard down, the Shame Wizard shows up to reveal he feels that he doesn't quite fit in anywhere, since the girls don't actually acknowledge him as a guy and he has little in common with other guys his age, who actively avoid him, either due to his unpleasant personality or due to being gay.
* InkSuitActor: He looks like a cartoon version of his actor.
* {{Jerkass}}: He genuinely enjoys playing hurtful pranks and making fun of others while fueling any drama that might happen around him and takes pleasure on calling people names.
* KarmaHoudini: He is never called out or receives any sort of punishment for his various endeavors in playing with people and his terrible personality.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: THOROUGHLY played in Season 2. After meeting an older gay man, he starts realizing that his crassness has left him alone and miserable and we even see him at one point huddled sadly in the teachers lounge. The Shame Wizard even CALLS him "A lonely little queer."
* PetTheDog: Together with Jessi, they throw Jay a bone after they deeply hurt his feelings by using him for laughs during their science project and turning him into their project. Matthew adds that they don't want to be blamed for his suicide.
* SchoolNewspaperNewshound: He takes his role as the school morning news host very seriously.
* SurroundedByIdiots: He sees most people as inferior to him, be it by personality, intelligence or looks, with Jessi being the sole person he is remotely nice to, after acknowledging that she is funny and smart.
-->'''Matthew:''' These fucking people.
* TookALevelInKindness: In season 2, after meeting an older gay man that has a much similar personality than him. The man advises to Matthew to try to be nicer to others, or he may end up pushing everybody away. Matthew takes this to heart and during the sleepover, he tries to downplay his meanness by avoiding gossip and trash talks. Of course, by that time, a lot of people are still unsure about that due to his old personality.

His complete inability to take social cues points to him being somewhere in the further end of the autism spectrum, most likely Asperger's. He carries around a visual cheat sheet of facial expressions which is a common tool for children on the autistic spectrum.
* BadassAdorable: It shows when Andrew accidentally has his backpack, showcasing [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength his possible strength]]. Also happens again when he knocks Guy Bilzerian into the pool and the penis worms.
* BerserkButton: Caleb does NOT like anyone else touching his roly backpack. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Andrew learned that one the hard way.]]
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's the one to give Guy Bilzerian his comeuppance, out of nowhere, by ''knocking him into an infested pool'' just for trying to steal school property.
* CaptainObvious: His constant expositions lean into this at times. One of his running gags is to pull out his cheat sheet depicting a guide to human facial expressions and inform someone how they're feeling.
* MrExposition: He sometimes mentions things the rest of the students don't pay much attention to, but considering it's Caleb, they're probably used to it and he's still [[{{Adorkable}} well-liked]].
* NiceGuy: He easily falls under this due to being with the jazz club, but he has..
* NoSocialSkills: That does not stop him from trying to socialize, though.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: He can also see Maurice, so he's clearly not bothered much by him.

----
* InformedAttribute: He's stated to be the most popular boy in the 8th grade, but apart from getting to sit at the back of the bus there's little hint of this.
* LoveRival: With Nick over Gina. When Devon laughs at Nick getting pantsed in a public space, Gina picks Nick over Devon.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: He gets little characterisation outside of being someone's boyfriend.

A handicapped boy.

* DeadpanSnarker: Every line of dialogue from him is dripping with a resigned sense of snark.
* TheStoic: Nothing seems to faze him.

->'''Voiced by:''' ???

A kid who runs around in the background sucking on a tube of gogurt.

->'''Voiced By:''' Gina Rodriguez

->''"He told me I was a slut. In fact, [[SlutShaming you all did]]."''

A classmate who developed earlier than the other girls.
----
* {{Gainaxing}}: Her first ever scene focuses on her generous bust bouncing around as she runs.
* MaleGaze: The boys initially only see her as a pair of boobs until being told by Nick's family that they need to see her as a person.
* OddFriendship: After Gina gets her heart broken by Nick and Lola gets the same treatment from Andrew, and both are on the receiving end of Devin's bitchiness, they find a lot of common ground to become friends. Gina also feels sorry for how Devin mistreats Lola and she thinks that this treatment is perfectly ok.
* RejectedApology: After being slut shamed by Devin, she refuses to accept Nick or Jessi's apology, claiming that they don't get to ask forgiveness and have everyone else act like nothing happened.
-->'''Gina:''' You can't just do something awful and then say you're sorry and then expect, like, make up make outs!
* RememberTheNewGuy: Lampshaded by Jessi. She's been in the kids same class since 1st grade, but the boys never noticed her until she grew breasts.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Her development has made her feel bad about herself since the boys objectify her and the girls give her a hard time.

!!!Other Students

[[folder:Daniel]]
!!Daniel
->'''Voiced by:''' Zach Woods

The star of the school's drama club. Daniel is an eccentric and upbeat men who easily charms Nick's older sister Leah in a party.
----
* AttemptedRape: [[spoiler:He has a history of pushing women into giving him blowjobs, when they refuse, he spreads rumors that they did and attempt to slut shame them.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Comes off as a friendly CoolBigBro and Leah's new crush, he is sweet, interesting, fun and smart and he is always very nice to Nick. [[spoiler:Then it turns out he has been spreading terrible rumors about the women who refuse his terribly aggressive tactics of getting a blowjob]].
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:The final Series/{{Seinfeld}} [[InTheStyleOf spoof]] of the episode has Jessi saying that Daniel died a while after the party. Jay expands that the Cotton Candy Brandy that Nick threw up in his hat entered his brain and gave him cancer.]]
* HateSink / {{Jerkass}}: [[spoiler:He has pushed several women into giving him blowjobs, pressured them into it and spread rumors about the ones that escaped, saying they did and slut shaming them, even getting Tallulah the title of "Blowjob Machine" when she refuses his advances. When he gets cornered, he refuses to accept his fault, calls the party out for slut shaming him and leaves with an air of superiority saying that party culture is to be blamed by what happened there]].
* HumiliationConga: At the end of "Head Pusher". [[spoiler:After his actions are outed, he leaves the party with everyone hating him. Nick goes to return his hat just to puke Cotton Candy Brandy in it, then Leah puts the puke-filled hat in his head, Jay flips the bird to him and Judd pokes his tires (along with everyone's). If the final Seinfeld-like spoof is canon, he's also dead of Cotton Candy Brandy-induced brain cancer]].
* LargeHam: He takes his over dramatic acting from the drama club to anywhere he goes and social outings, meaning he will talk in parties as if he was still in a play, by projecting when the situation doesn't call for it and speaking with in an exaggeratedly eloquent way.

!Teachers

[[folder:Coach Steve]]
!!Coach Steve
->'''Voiced by:''' Nick Kroll

The loud and bumbling gym teacher.
----
* AmbiguousDisorder: He's initially just presented as a weirdo, but it becomes increasingly clear that he may have legit learning disadvantages.
* BuriedAlive: Was thought to be dead after eating a wheel of cheese.
* CoolTeacher: Though portrayed as a loser, he's usually there for the kids if they have a problem.
* CloudCuckoolander: Steve is a weird dude, to put it mildly.
* {{Expy}}: He's a lot like Borat, if his extreme social awkwardness came not from being a clueless foreigner, but from having some sort of condition.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Oh, he wishes he was this, at the very least. Truth is, people only hang out around him when they absolutely have to, like at work. However this is later [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], as the more they hang out with him, the more they find themselves somewhat charmed by his naive goodness. [[spoiler:Jay and the Shame Wizard wind up becoming genuine friends with him.]]
* ForeignCussWord: At a bar he "works" at (he actually just bartends for free... ''despite'' management constantly telling him to leave), the staff calls him ''pendejo''[[note]] A strong swear word in Spanish, literally means a single pubic hair, but when used as an insult, it's a rough equivalent to "asshole" or "dumbass"[[/note]]. He doesn't know what it means, so he just happily assumes it's a nickname. When he [=DJs=] at Jessi's Bat Mitzvah, he adopts it as his stage name, ''DJ Pendejo''.
* FreeingTheGenie: Attempts this on his hormone monster, Rick after losing his virginity.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: [[spoiler:Jay and Coach Steve bond and become friends, which works since they've both led (and continue to lead) desperately sad lives and are stuffed full of delusion. Also Steve has the maturity of a child Jay's age or younger.]]
* NeverLearnedToRead: Despite working ''in a school''. He does, however know the alphabet, but just barely, and he doesn't actually know the names for the letters. He instead has nicknames for them.
* NiceGuy: Despite his weirdness, Steve is very good-natured and friendly.
* PlotAllergy: Is severely lactose intolerant and doesn't realize that things like cheese and milk count as dairy.
* RaisedHandOfSurvival: After they bury him alive.
* RepetitiveName: His grave says both his first and last names are Steve.

[[folder:Mr. Lizer]]
!!Mr. Lizer
->'''Voiced by:''' Rob Huebel

A much less awkward teacher.
----
* CoolTeacher: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] He's obviously trying to cultivate this image, and his students like him for it, but he's mostly just a pretentious tool. Plus, Jessi got a ''very'' creepy vibe from him after wearing a new push-up bra.
* {{Foil}}: To Coach Steve. He's less bizarre and clearly a functioning adult, but Steve is a humble and helpful man while Mr. Lizer is a quietly creepy douchebag.
* PoliticallyMotivatedTeacher: The first time we see him, he's complaining about the patriarchy in a know-it-all tone.
