[[folder:Josh]]
->'''Voiced by''': Ben Schwartz

A boy that Tina searches for in ''Lindapendent Woman''. She met him behind the milk fridge. Not being able to see his face, the only way to recognize him is by a turtle bite on his index finger that was covered by a bandage. In the end he meets Tina face to face, kisses her, and receives Tina's phone number. Like Jimmy, he's also a dancer, focusing on ballet.
----
* BettyAndVeronica: The approachable to Jimmy, Jr.'s hard-to-get.
* CampStraight: He takes ballet and has an interest in Tina. His interactions with Douglas suggest he's not interested in men.
* ChekhovsGunman: Originally a relatively minor character in his debut episode, only having two scenes.
* IncompatibleOrientation: Hinted at with his friend Douglas from performance school trying to interfere with his talking with Tina.
* NiceGuy: He's more open and similar to Tina than Jimmy Junior is.
* TechnicianVsPerformer: The technician (he's been taking ballet for years) to Jimmy Jr's performer (dances how he feels).
* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Tina -- he's genuinely interested in her, but she's more into Jimmy Jr.

[[folder:Mandy]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mandy_5.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Jillian Bell

->''"I always have sport stuff to do."''

Rudy's cousin and a pitcher with a rivalry with Logan.
----
* ActionGirl: She's very capable of applying her pitcher skills to destroy Logan's group in a snowball fight in a very onesided fight.
* CurbStompBattle:
** She gives one to Logan's group, being able to completely destroy them with her pitcher strength applied to snowballs while the kids shield her.
** She receives one when Logan gets a basketball player to throw a basketball sized snowball in her head, letting the snow inside her clothes.
* TheCavalry: She recruits a large group of girls that all want to get back on Logan to go against him and his group in a snowball fight, totalizing about three full girls' sports team going after him with snowballs and saving Louise in the process.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Logan used to tease Mandy when they were younger by calling her "Man-itary Napkin".

[[folder:Calvin Fischoeder]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_fischoeder.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KevinKline

The richest man in town, and landlord to about half its population (including both Bob and Jimmy).
----
* AffablyEvil: Downplayed -- "evil" is kind of a stretch with him (ChaoticNeutral, sure), but it's clear there's basically nothing stopping him from just doing that. He's rarely even directly antagonistic to Bob, but still regularly gets Bob in trouble, not counting rent problems.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Calvin sometimes gets distracted by Bob's arm hair when talking to him, apparently because it reminds him of his father.
* BigBad: Despite his affable nature towards the Belcher family, he does have a number of questionable ventures and schemes that are hinted at. He owns most of the properties in the city as well, likely making him the most powerful antagonist in the setting... were he to ever actually be more antagonistic.
* CainAndAbel: With his brother Felix. [[spoiler: ''He's Abel''.]]
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Wonder Wharf is rife with rigged games and safety issues, and is apparently staffed exclusively by criminals. His other business ventures are implied to be even worse--he once implied that he employs children as coal miners, and from there, things get...''darker''.
-->'''Bob''': What if you found out that someone you knew was doing something sort of bad, and you were helping them do that sort of bad thing?\\
'''Mr. Fischoeder''': Is it me? ''[[NoodleIncident Is it abortions?]]''
* DeadpanSnarker: Has no shortage of jabs towards Bob.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: In ''Dawn of the Peck'', he asks Felix if anyone got out of the wharf after they locked it down to prevent the mad birds from escaping. Felix confirms that everyone is trapped inside, and it's not like anyone would believe them anyway... except they were still on live TV when they were confirming this.
** This is a common problem of his: he regularly and openly tells people (mostly the Belchers) of his less than legal actions at the drop of a hat.
* EccentricMillionaire: Is by far more "eccentric" than actually "evil", and you get the feeling that his immense wealth and power has insulated him from normal human behavior.
* EyepatchOfPower: The richest man in the city, and he owns most of the properties as well.
* EyeScream: His eye was cut out by his younger brother Felix.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He seems to have a genuine liking to the Belchers, even if he does unethical things.
* KarmaHoudini: Due to his status, he tends to be able to foist off his actions without any repercussions.
** [[spoiler: Averted at the end of ''Dawn of the Peck'', when some of the mad turkeys break into his home and attack him and Felix.]]
* PetTheDog: His debut episode shows him planning to evict Bob for his rent problems, until he tastes Bob's food, and extends his lease. It's implied that he gives Bob copious amount of slack due to the quality of his burgers and/or personal liking for the Belchers, rather than using the restaurant space for a more lucrative business. (In production order -- his broadcast order debut has him giving Bob a temp job as a cabbie to bring in some extra money.)
* PunnyName: His last name sounds like fish odor.
* SharpDressedMan: Wears a white suit no matter what.
* TookALevelInJerkass: He seems to have more and more disregard for Bob's well-being as the series progresses. "Seaplane!" is a good example -- it's made very clear that he could have very easily helped Bob directly and his neglect nearly gets the Belchers killed, but he's the only reason Bob knew to rescue Linda at all.
** Zig-zagged in the season 5 finale. He seems to be willing to raise everyone's rent, and then just wants to cause great trouble for the Belchers, until it's revealed that he just feels slightly abandoned by Bob and wants to be friendlier. The rent hike, on the other hand, really was him being greedy and wanting to install a pool on his estate to attract women, but he's also willing to "postpone" that for a year or two.
* VerbalJudo: What keeps him from being properly evil is his openness to being talked down, typically by Bob.
* YouRemindMeOfX: He apparently likes Bob so much because Bob reminds him of his father, a "swarthy, hardworking immigrant" with "magnificent arm hair".

[[folder:Randy Watkins]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Paul F. Tompkins

A indie filmmaker and "trust-fund baby" who was introduced trying to protest meat-eating outside Bob's Restaurant. His later appearances have him as less antagonistic, but he still doesn't get along very well with Bob.
----
* GiftedlyBad: He has a rather exaggerated view of his movie-making skills.
* StrawVegetarian: He doesn't eat meat, and tends to be a pompous jerk about it.

[[folder:Ron]]
[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/g52uarx.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Ronald Lynch

Hugo's partner and only friend.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: In the same vain as Mort and Randy.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Only with Hugo. Everyone else likes him just fine, but Hugo is generally rude to him even though he's the only person who likes him unironically.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Hugo.
* MoralityChain: Usually the one to call Hugo out when he starts abusing his power to spite Bob.
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Constantly on the receiving end of this due to his meekness.
* NiceGuy: In "My Fuzzy Valentine" he helps Bob and the kids try to find the Love tester machine Bob thought he and Linda used on their date. When Hugo refuses to help them despite knowing its location, Ron tells Bob Hugo's wrong for not helping them, and gives them the spare clipboard of places where it could be. And in "Best Burger" without hesitation, he helps the kids escape the store manager they stole the black garlic from, so they could help Bob win the competition.
* OnlyFriend: The only person who genuinely likes Hugo.
* OnlySaneMan: Tries his best to curb Hugo's vendetta with Bob.
* RedOniBlueOni: The calm rational Blue Oni to Hugo's petty, loudmouthed Red Oni.
* SatelliteCharacter: Until "Best Burger" in Season 5, he never appeared without Hugo.

[[folder:Trev]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trev_8.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]

->'''Voiced by''': David Herman
A bartender who works for Jimmy Pesto and his right-hand man.
----
* AmbiguouslyGay: All of his interactions with Jimmy imply he's attracted to him.
* DontExplainTheJoke: Whenever Jimmy makes a joke at Bob, Trev explains the context of it, annoying him.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Not fond of Jimmy Pesto making an apparent joke about mental illness.
* NiceGuy: When he's not around Jimmy Pesto, he's actually a pretty amiable guy. He in fact doesn't want to be mean to others, but is the only way to stay friends with him.
* UndyingLoyalty: The only person who seems to actually like Jimmy Pesto unironically.

[[folder:Jen]]
[[quoteright:153:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bbjen_4647.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Wendy Molyneux

Occasionally appears to babysit Gene, Tina and Louise. A generally meek person, she's usually thoroughly unprepared for their hijinks.
----
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Don't tickle her unless you want her to punch you.
* EpicFail: Doesn't know how to use a microwave or understand what "bath time" is, despite those being basic knowledge for more than just a babysitter.
* ExtremeDoormat: Though she tries to honor Linda's instructions, she almost always lets the Belcher kids get her to do what they want her to do.
* HatesBeingTouched: If you touch her even a little bit, she'll feel ticklish all over, and not in a good way.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: She pronounces microwave as "Mick-row-wave" as opposed to the common "Mike-row-wave".
* NiceGirl: Jen is a generally polite, affable girl who genuinely loves baby-sitting, despite not being very good at it, and gives Linda a speech on how she should do what she loves over worrying about being good at it.
* ShrinkingViolet: Tina minus confidence.

[[folder:Sergeant Bosco]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sergeant_bosco.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/GaryCole

A police sergeant who has interacted with the Belchers on occasion.
----
* BerserkButton: Since she's the Belcher he interacts with the most, Linda ends up annoying him greatly.
* TheComicallySerious: Had basically zero sense of humor, which leads to him treating even the goofiest cases as dead serious.
* DeadpanSnarker: He loves his sarcasm.
* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: Claims to be part of a secret society that hunts people for sport in "My Fuzzy Valentine".
* {{Jerkass}}: Bosco is an unpleasant guy. He's not even above shin-kicking a 9 year old girl.
* PoliceAreUseless: Bosco is...not good at his job. He nearly got Bob killed when he ordered a shot at Mickey in "Bob Day Afternoon", dismissed Bob's emergency texts as drunk texts in "World Wharf II: The Wharfening", was willing to risk his detective career on Linda's [[spoiler: nonexistent]] psychic abilities in "I Get A Psy-chic Out Of You", and did an "undercover" operation in "Boywatch" while his police badge was visible and the back of his shirt clearly said "POLICE".
* SemperFi: He was in the Navy.
* WouldHitAGirl: Shin-kicks a nine-year-old girl and threatened her older sister.
* WouldHurtAChild: He shin-kicked Louise and threatened to punch Tina in the face.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Speedo Guy]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/HJonBenjamin

A local man who, as the name indicates, is usually seen parading around in a speedo.
----
* CampStraight: He wears pink speedos and likes rollerskating but "Bob Actually" showed he's straight (or at least attracted to a woman).
* FanDisservice: Not the most fit guy around, which makes his outfit choice an affront to the eyes.
* NoNameGiven: His real name hasn't been revealed as of yet.
* RecurringExtra: Across many episodes, he will normally be shown in the background for a few seconds with little to no influence to the plot.

[[folder:Helen]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/helenbb.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Kaitlin Olson

A rich widow for whom Ted falls in love when he is asked to do some work in her house.
----
* BlackWidow: She may or may not have assassinated her husband. It's never made exactly clear, but it is clear she had reasons to ''want'' him dead, and she had the means to kill him, as well as wanting to hide something that was possible evidence against her. While it was never wholly confirmed, it was mostly hinter towards she really being the killer.
* DerailedLoveInterest: She becomes much more of a mean jerkass in her second appearance, when another candidate for Teddy's LoveInterest, Kathleen, shows up.
* TookALevelInJerkass: She becomes much more mean in her second appearance, losing every single shred of sympathy she had before, as well as no longer being interested in Teddy, or even his bodily safety, when money is on the line.

[[folder:Angie]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/angiebb.png]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Lindsey Stoddart
An essential oils saleswoman who almost gets Linda to be one too.
----
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Subverted. She's a nice person and believes her oils genuinely help people and are a great product anyone can sell. She is not aware people are buying her products because of her own charisma rather than the product itself.
* SnakeOilsSalesman: Subverted. Her oils may not really work, even though their smell is pretty good to get Gayle addicted to them, but she actually believed they did, and Linda did too, though it's never clear if this was PlaceboEffect or something else.
