* HatesMySecretIdentity: {{Averted}}. From the moment we’re introduced to her, it is clear as day that she’s got it ''bad'' for Mr. Krupp, and if the ending of the movie is anything to go by, she [[LovesMyAlterEgo seems to like his other side just as much]].

* PunnyName: Each member's name and title make out an unflattering term or expression.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: As Wedgie Woman, she gets bright blue hair.
** In the animated series, her hair is teal-grey.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: In the "Full Color" versions of the books, her hair is a pinkish-purple.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: It's white as snow.

* BeautyMark: Has one on her left cheek.

* BaldWoman: This happens to her twice, first in book 5 and again in book 12 (she did have a mohawk, but still).

* FantasicallyIndifferent: Regardless of what kind of crazy things she's experiencing in the animated series, she always has her CreepyMonotone style of voice.

* IncommingHam: Her first words as Clogneata, showing how different she is from Ms. Anthrope:

* CosmicIndifference: Regardless of what kind of crazy things she's experiencing in the animated series, she always has her CreepyMonotone style of voice.

-->'''Clogneata''': I am the baroness of blockage! The sovereign of sewage! I comman the power of obstruction! I am… CLOGNETA!\\

* SadistTeacher: A majority of them come off as this.

* FMinusMinus: As explained above, in Book 5 she changes the boys’ grades to Fs and ''Gs'' after the marriage proposal prank so they’ll flunk fourth grade. Then in episode 3 of the animated series, she gives the boys' essays the grade of H for "Horrendous".

* BookDumb: Academics aren't his forte. His hero alter-ego Sergeant Boxers is even worse since he admits that he can't read.

* GymClassHell: His gym class is very difficult.

* OpaqueLenses: We can’t see her pupils thanks to them.

* MeaningfulName: As stated below, her name is synonymous for "playful, naughty, impish etc". It would make sense that the one teacher in [[SuckySchool Jerome Horwitz]] would be able to obtain the relatability and respect of the Prankster Kings themselves. Not to mention that encouraging them to continue their comics despite the faculty's negative stance on the subject can be considered "mischievous" on it's own right.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KristenSchaal

A sweet-hearted lunch lady who works at the school. She has a not-so-obvious crush on Mr. Krupp but she's too insecure to express how she feels about him.

The faculty members of Jerome Horwitz Elementary who help Mr. Krupp run the school under a single goal: [[SuckySchool to make school life for their students as difficult, boring, and miserable as possible]].

* Mummy: As the [[MonsterOfTheWeek monster of the week]], despite not actually being dead.

-->'''Voiced by:''' David Koechner

-->'''Voiced by:''' Maggie Wheeler

The faculty members of Jerome Horwitz Elementary who help Mr. Krupp run the school under a single goal: [[SuckySchool to make school life for their students as difficult, boring and miserable as possible]].

* AdvancedAncientAcropolis: In the Epic Choice-O-Rama special, George and Harold stumble across ''Teacherville'', an underground and technologically advance society where the teachers and faculty members reside in. Every member, from recurring to minor, is shown to reside there.

* EvilMakesYouMonstrous: As if being sadistic teachers wasn't enough, the faculty members end up becoming more wicked, destructive and diabolical once they turn into the main villain of a given book/episode.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Happens quite a number of times throughout the book series as punishment for their mistreatment of George, Harold and the students in general.

** In Book 4, they openly taunt the boys for being forced to miss out on a pizza themed field trip and throw them a box of crusts for them to eat. They get turned into "snowmen" as part of the boys' pranks.
** In Book 11, [[spoiler: a majority of them are ecstatic with the idea of separating George and Harold by their grade levels and destroying their friendship as a result. Thanks to the boys travelling through time and unintentionally creating two versions of them via time paradox, [[RefugeInAudacity the faculty members strip themselves of their underwear, begin acting as if everything was a dream, and are then sent to the Piqua Valley Home for the Reality Challenged]]]].

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: In the animated adaptations, the faculty members fall into the three categories rather then being completely mean like in the books. There's the "Nice" ([[AlmightyJanitor Mr. Ree,]] [[FailureHero Jerry Citizen,]] [[ShrinkingViolet Edith the Lunch Lady]]), the "Mean" ([[RecurringBoss Ms. Ribble,]] [[GymClassHell Mr. Meaner,]] [[SadistTeacher Mr. Rected,]] [[PerpetualFrowner Ms. Herd]]) and the "In-Between" ([[DeadpanSnarker Ms. Anthrope,]] [[ButtMonkey Mr. Fyde,]] [[GratuitousFrench Ms. Yewh,]] [[RememberTheNewGuy Dr. Mentor]]).

* PutOnABus: Most of the faculty members are absent in season 3 of the animated series. Justified, as many of them would have no need to be involved in a summer camp setting. The only members who do appear are Mr. Meaner, Ms. Anthrope and Mr. Ree.

* SocialServicesDoesNotExist: They certainly don't exist in the book series considering all the cruel, messed up and outright ''criminal'' acts the teachers can get away with while mistreating their students.

* FMinusMinus: As explained above, in Book 5 she changes the boys’ grades to Fs and ''Gs'' after the marriage proposal prank so they’ll flunk fourth grade. Then in episode 3 of the animated series she gives the boys' essays the grade of H for "Horrendous".

* FlatCharacter: Disregarding her bitterness and cruelty towards kids, she doesn't have a fleshed out personality or even any interesting quirks that make her more dimensional compared to her colleagues.

* IconicItem: In all three incarnations, she's always shown with her pointy glasses, pearl necklace and earrings.
* {{Jerkass}}: Her prime personality, at least until her HeelFaceBrainwashing. But during the final book she turns evil again for no given reason.

* PunnyName: Ms. Ribble is a pun on "Miserable" while her full name Tara Ribble is pun on "Terrible".

* SadistTeacher: Prior to the events of book 5. Her animated counterpart also counts but her sadism is not as high as her book self.

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Make that Superpowered Evil''er'' Side, when she gains the Wedgie Woman persona in book 5. Granted, she didn't initially have super powers, but after getting a load of [[PowerUpFood Super-Power Juice]] dumped in her hair...

** Before she was brainwashed, she even joins the teachers into bullying children, especially George and Harold.

The main gym teacher of Jerome Horwitz. Despite being as bright as a sack of bricks, he torments his students by making gym a living hell for them.

* BookDumb: Academics aren't his forte. His hero alter ego Sergeant Boxers is even worse since he admits that he can't read.

* ChekhovsGunman: Mr. Meaner has been around from the very beginning of the series, but never really did anything significant aside from [[ItMakesSenseInContext getting eaten by a toilet]] in the second book. That is, until Book 12 came along.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: In season 3, [[spoiler: he's revealed to have returned a star-like alien to its home planet and fought to protect its race in an intergalactic war. As a reward for his service, the star people turned him into a star like them and granted him immortality]].

* KarmaHoudini: In Book 12, he faces no consequences for [[spoiler: trying to brainwash all the children in Piqua into being obedient slaves for profit or for flat out ''killing'' Captain Underpants]].

* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: In Book 12. [[spoiler: The citizens of public are cheerful and full of relief when Old!George, Old!Harold, and their hamster-pterodactyl pets emerge from the blobby remains of Sir Stinks-A-Lot completely unharmed. But when Meaner pops out, the cheering immediately stops]].

* SuperPowersForADay: With Captain Underpants unavailable to help them in the Season 2 premiere, George and Harold hypnotize Meaner into becoming the Jockbro Hero: Sergeant Boxers, a meatheaded athlete hero who is able to take on an army of Teachertrons without breaking a sweat.

* EvilIsHammy: As Clogneta, she becomes overly dramatic and super expressive as she gloats about her powers and desire for world domination.

** In the animated show, she wanted to bring balloons and color to make the school dance more enjoyable.

** [[spoiler: After Mr. Krupp gets demoted to Vice Principal by Melvinborg]], she offers him some of her jellybeans as an act of sympathy.

* RunningGag: In the animated series, she has a habit of walking into a room where Krupp is having a moment asking if he called her. Following Krupp being frustrated by her appearance and a {{Beat}}, she says something off topic or random.

* SelfDeprecation: While dressed up as Meaner in the HalloweenSpecial, she admits that she "likes being someone else". This implies that she has some self esteem issues she needs to work out.

* ShipTease: With Captain Underpants. After he saves her in book 6, she kisses him several times, gives him a hug, and wishes him good luck.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: She gets these moments every now and then, but it's more prominent in Season 3.

* TheDragon: He becomes this to Clogneta since she is able to control all forms of clogs and sewage, which is exactly what his alter ego, Cloggernaut, is made of.

* MonsterOfTheWeek: In Season 2, the boys ''willingly'' transform him into Cloggernaut, an incredibly strong, clog-themed villain, in order to prove a point to Erica.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: In spite of his dorkiness and stupidity, he ends up turning into a giant, rampaging avocado pit monster in the series.

* MonsterOfTheWeek: Using Melvin's machine, the boys accidentally turn him into Avocadwoe, a giant, hyper-aggressive avocado monster who intends to destroy all noises no matter the cost.
* NervousWreck: The whole reason he quit he job in the first place is because he had a nervous breakdown after several instances of witnessing the story's events. The series also reveals that, in spite of his 6 months at the home for the reality challenged, he still hadn't gotten any better. If anything, he only got worse.

* SuddenlySHOUTING: He does this in the series, after being overwhelmed by noise in the school.

* JustEatGilligan: Played with. While getting a belt certainly wouldn't solve all the series' problems, it would still stop her constant droopy drawers issue. But doing so would get rid off one of the show's [[RunningGag running gags]].

* MonsterOfTheWeek: After crashing into a van carrying toxic waste along with an amped up ice cream truck, Ms. Hurd transforms into DJ Drowsy Drawers, a cyborg capable of putting anyone to sleep with her hypnotic sound blasts.

* RunningGag: Her pants keep falling down which expose her bloomers. Seriously, why doesn't she have a belt?
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Her biggest fear are werewolves that are vomiting. It's so bad that she once stayed home for days and survived by eating [[{{Squick}} her own eyelashes and toenail clippings]].

* DeadpanSnarker: He isn’t afraid to snark at Mr. Krupp every now and again.

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: He is the responsible, calm and rule abiding sibling to [[spoiler: Major Messy/Lavator Ree's foolish, hot-headed and rule defying sibling]].

* PermaStubble: Has a five o' clock shadow.

* ScareEmStraight: He does this to [[spoiler: his brother in order to make him realize why it's important to have rules and order, by taking him on a joyride with a near empty jetpack and letting them free fall]].

* SuperPowersForADay: Averted. In the season 3 finale, the boys request him to become the Bathroom Hero: Colonel Urinal for a talent show, and Ree was all too willing to accept. He doesn't get superpowers from the costume, but that doesn't stop him from [[spoiler: kicking bad guy butt when Melvin creates super villains to ruin the talent show]].

The newly hired Spanish teacher. He's emotionally fragile and is in desperate need for a purpose in life.

* FailureHero: Lets just say that being a superhero ''isn't'' his calling.
* GeekPhysiques: He's fits the trope since he's pretty much a grown up geek.

* PetTheDog: He stands out as one of the few, if only, teacher/faculty member that enjoys comics and encourages the boys to make one.

* SuperPowersForADay: After finding the sentient robe, Jerry is able to live out his life as the Justice Hero: Judge J.O.R.T.S. [[FailureHero Doesn't mean he's any good at it though]].

* AmbiguousSituation: At the climax of her episode debut, Dr. Mentor ends up in a PoliceLineup alongside a group of sinister looking scientists; this could suggest that she may have a criminal background.

* PunnyName: If you sound her name out just right, it sounds alot like "the tormentor".

* TokenGoodTeammate: One of the only ones in the faculty who isn't mean towards any of the kids. That doesn't make her good at her job, though, as she keeps a vat of leftovers in the kitchen that can apparently be used as nuclear superfuel.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: It's thanks to Edith accumulating so many radioactive leftovers that [[spoiler: Professor Poopypants is able to use that as fuel for his revenge scheme to destroy all laughter]].
