* BigEater: He loves to eat.
* BigFun: Rather out of shape, but a fun dude.
* BirdsOfAFeather: He's a fat goofball... but so is Clarence, and so they get along great.

* CloudCuckooLander: Chad can be rather spacey.

* FatIdiot: A chubby {{Cloudcuckoolander}}.
* FatSlob: Subverted. A bit close to Homer Simpson's type.
* KavorkaMan: The dude looks like a giant ape in a tank top (or what happens when you combine Homer Simpson with Greg from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''[[note]]who already looks like a mix between Homer Simpson and Carl from ''Aqua Teen Hunger Force''[[/note]]). And he is somehow dating Clarence's mom, who doesn't look like a, well, ape.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Despite having a main role in her only appearance, and shown to bond with the main character, she is not seen or even mentioned in subsequent episodes. However, given that she stated she would probably move out due to her parents divorcing, her absence can be somehow justified.
** According to Spencer Rothbell, [[https://twitter.com/srothbell/status/547905072089137152 that is exactly what happened to her]], and there are no plans to bring her back.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Belson Noles]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/belson_744.png
-->'''Voiced by:''' Jason Marsden (Pilot), Creator/RogerCraigSmith

The resident {{Jerkass}} of the neighborhood.
----
* BigOlUnibrow: And he has the grouchy personality to match.
* TheBully: A downplayed version, as he isn't overly malicious and is fine with simply hanging out with Clarence on occasion. He can be quite selfish, though, especially about his video games.
* ButtMonkey: He gets his deserved comeuppance a lot in this show.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Depending on the episode the kids either treat Belson like everyone or they (barring Clarence of course) see him as a jerkass they can barely stand to be around.
* TheEeyore: In "The Zoo", it's suggested that he's not so much a bully; rather he just has a negative attitude in general and doesn't like anything.
* EvilCounterpart: He's pretty much the opposite of Clarence, Clarence is optimistic while Belson is pessimistic, and they both have kind moms, and they have two best friends. Likewise, Clarence tends to be nice, while Belson leans on {{Jerkass}}

* FatBastard: Very pudgy and a SpoiledBrat.
* {{ Flanderization}}: From time to time, in the second half of the first one, he came more over a jerkass to mostly to Clarence and nearly everyone else, while in Season 2, he was slightly demoted into alone playing with with portable game console.
* GagNose: Combined with the unibrow, he almost looks related to [[Series/SesameStreet Bert & Ernie.]]
* HiddenDepths:
** In "Clarence's Millions", he has a lot of stars on the good behavior board; implying he's not as bad he seems (or at least tones down his selfishness and pushy attitude at school).
** In "The Zoo", [[spoiler: he confesses to Clarence that he likes dolphins.]]
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He's pretty awful at bullying Clarence, to the point where Clarence has no idea that he ''is'' a bully.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's mean spirited, but ultimately pretty harmless. His cousin Gary [[InSeriesNickname "Mooch"]] is just as bad, if not worse.
* LonelyRichKid: Heavily suggested during the episode where Clarence goes to his sleepover.
* LaserGuidedKarma: He usually receives this, if his intentions backfires, while in "[[Recap/ClarenceS1E41 Li'l Buddy]]" had taken UpToEleven, when he pulled Clarence's pants down, just to get attention from most of kids, just then he was literally sucker punched in the nose by Clarence, who was already on edge.
* TheNapoleon: He's small and a bully.
* RichBastard: He's rich, spoiled, and mean.
* SpoiledBrat: His mom gets him everything he wants and in return he treats her like dirt (think Cartman back in the early episodes of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', only not as whiny or politically incorrect). "Dust Buddies" has his mom try to discipline him.
* {{Tuckerization}}: His name is a {{Spoonerism}} of creative director/showrunner Nelson Boles.
* UnknownRival: Clarence sees him as a friend, not realizing that he's the bully of the school, let alone that he actually dislikes Clarence.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Skyler Page (season one), Damien Haas (every episode after Page's termination)

Belson's big, not-too-bright, brawny henchmen
----
* AmbiguousDisorder: It would be possible if he's like Clarence, who assumed to be autistic.
* TheBigGuy: Type 2. Big, gentle and less intelligent, however despite of the strength he has as in "Missing Cat", his supposedly strength couldn’t even beat Chelsea in arm-wrestling.
* BigThinShortTrio: The Big to thin Dustin and squat Percy or Belson.
* DumbMuscle: Strong as a ox and dumb as a post.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Patrick Star]].
* FatIdiot: Subverted. He's more muscle than fat but still pretty idiotic.
* HiddenDepths: Nathan is amazing good at drawing, as shown in "Clarence's Millions".
** In "[[Recap/ClarenceS1E2 Pretty Great Day With a Girl]]", he's shown reading some type of mystery book.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Well, most of his appearance makes him look less than a kid, desipt of being one.
[[/folder]]

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: This become apparent in the "Have a Ball" short.
* CuteAndPsycho: Once again apparent in the "Have a Ball" short.
* CuteButCacophonic: As shown in "The Tails of Madrynia," the sounds Percy makes when he's crying and screaming are not very pleasant to the ears. In general his whining can be really obnoxious.

* FingerlessHands: He has flipper hands. His parents also have them.
* FragileFlower: Cries at the drop of a hat.

A meek smart kid with a bowtie, and super snobby parents.

* {{Adorkable}}: Breehn is an excellent student and very socially awkward.
* ButtMonkey: Breehn tends to come across a lot of bad luck - he's had part of his house collapse, draws the ire of the entire class because of his peanut allergy leaving their zoo excursion ridiculously limited and later gets carted to hospital after tricking Percy into giving him a peanut butter sandwich. It's also implied that he's one of Belson's more frequent victims.
** The episode "Breehn Ho" seems to have been made for the purpose of subverting this as Breehn gets more than a few awesome moments in it and ends the episode the hero.
* ForgettableCharacter: Often times the other characters will not notice his presence, even when there are only four characters present and they're all sitting in a circle.
* LonelyRichKid: He's.. well somewhat rich, but not exactly that rich like Belson, but timid and more well off.
* SelfInducedAllergicReaction: Shovels down a peanut-butter sandwich despite being allergic to peanuts.
-->'''Breehn:''' It wasn't worth it.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it "Breehn" or "Breen"? Not even the show itself can seem to agree on how to spell it.

Another teacher at Aberdale Elementary, she seems to put very little effort into actually doing her job.
----
* BigEater: Is seen devouring a plate of wings in "Turtle Hats".
* CardCarryingVillain
* ChildHater: If her actions in "Lost Playground" are any indication (she took a bit too much glee in taking away the kids' recess).
* ForTheEvulz
* FreudianExcuse: According to a flashback to her childhood in lost ''Lost Playground'', [[spoiler:we find out that when all the other kids went outside to play during recess, her mother, Millie, who worked at Aberdale Elementary before she did, would never let her play outside, telling her that it was too dangerous and that she'd hurt herself]].
* FatBastard: Big, plump, mean to practically anyone, and an incredible buzzkill.
* FunHatingConfiscatingAdult: She has the ENTIRE playground confiscated when one of the kids is hurt.
* {{Gasshole}}: Rips a mighty fart in "Freedom Cactus", immediately after claiming that [[HypocriticalHumor "flatulence is to be done in the bathroom, in private"]].
* GoodIsNotNice: She is a mean-spirited sadist who does whatever she can to foil the students' plans, but all the same she really does care about them, as she [[spoiler: rescues Clarence from West Aberdare Elementary]] in "Field Trippin'".
* {{Jerkass}}: Probably the biggest one of any regular character; she doesn't seem to pay the kids any mind in "Average Jeff", she seems to punish children for odd reasons (giving Percy detention because he cried too much after falling off the swing, for instance), she is an incredible buzzkill (see ChildHater and MoralGuardian), and even gets away with drawing a food graffiti insult directed at Mr. Reese.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her sourpuss attitude, she really wants everyone to be safe, as shown in "Suspended."
* KarmaHoudini: Gets away with committing vandalism on Mr. Reese's car with the marinara sauce from the spilled meatball sub, not even ending up on Reese's list of suspects. (Belson was the one who Mr. Reese instead accused.)
* MoralGuardians: From playgrounds to innocent comics of a cactus farting, she'll find '''''anything''''' offensive.
* SadistTeacher: She punishes kids for tiny reasons.
* SupremeChef: Makes her own canned beans, which are apparently quite delicious. Don't expect her to put them on the market, because she just makes them for her personal consumption, and there will be heck to pay for anyone who tries to mess with her beans.
* {{Troll}}: She vandalizes Mr. Reese's car with an insult directed towards him.
* VagueAge: She may be OlderThanSheLooks; in "The Substitute", she mentions that she has been teaching for 49 years, which may mean that if she started teaching when she was 18 to 21 years old, that would make her age about 67 or 70. In "Lost Playground", her mother, Millie Shoop, mentions that she told her to get off the playground 30 years ago.

The titular, happy-go-lucky main character of the series.

* AffectionateNickname: Chad tends to call Clarence "Buddy".
* AllLovingHero: A more lighthearted version of this trope. He makes friends with everyone, from obvious jerks like Belson to the OddFriendship he struck up with Old Clarence in "Neighborhood Grill." Matches with FriendToAllLivingThings listed below, and exemplified in "Zoo" when he explains to Belson that "everything is like a baby dolphin to me."
* AmbiguousDisorder: He seems to have slight mental retardation and/or ADHD.
* BerserkButton: Despite his gentle demeanor, don't mess with Clarence's recess.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: In "Lil Buddy", Clarence became an even bigger deliquent than usual all because he missed one recess. Yes he did bad things before but that was from child ignorance. In "Lil Buddy", he purposely brought a skunk to school, tore down the school's sign and punched Belson and Dustin.
* BigFun: A chubby little ball of fun.
* CannotKeepASecret: Has trouble keeping Jeff's secret in "Jeff's secret". However 'trouble' in this case means that things keep getting in the way of him blurting it out for everyone to hear. He calls his mom and says he should be able to tell the secret if he wants to, and rather than listen to his mom telling him to respect Jeff's wishes he tries to arrange circumstances so he can tell it in a way that it won't be made a big deal.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Naive and trusting.
* {{Crossdresser}}:
** Briefly, in "Clarence Gets a Girlfriend".
** He dresses as a stereotypical Eighties girl in "Belson's Sleepover" to lure Belson out of hiding.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: From sending written invitations before introducing himself to being asked to shave another kid's head to cracking open a piñata filled with bees, it's safe to say that Clarence has strange ideas about making friends and having fun.
* TheDitz: He’s not very bright at all.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: He hates the new "Cinnamon Ranch" sauce, so much that he basically [[spoiler:writes an elaborate FanFic how the stuff brainwashes anyone who eats it and mutates them into alien chickens.]]

* {{Foil}}: Clarence to Belson. Both have mothers who care about them but where as Belson's mother lets him get away with everything and is a pushover Mary is sweet but stern with Clarence. They both also have missing fathers though Clarence's dad is out of the picture for unknown reasons (implied to be divorce) he has a "Chad" to replace him while Belsons dad isn't around only because of work and has no fraternal substitute. He is also an optimist who loves everything while Belson is a pessimist who wants to see others bellow him.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: In "Rise and Shine", he feeds the raccoons in the neighborhood, and tries to help a mountain lion to escape from a park ranger's tranquilizer gun. In "Pretty Great Day With a Girl", he's greeting every dog in the neighborhood as he passes by.
* FreudianTrio: The Ego.
* FunPersonified: Everything about the kid screams "Good times."
* {{Gasshole}}: Oddly enough, Clarence can be like this whether if its implied or intentional, in "Nature Clarence", he accidentally slipped one while landing Joshua while falling off while trying to rescue Joshua from the cliff, but he did ''Right On his nose'', and in "Detention", he ripped a very huge one in class in order to get into detention. While he did one in "The Breakup", "The Boxcurse Children", and "Freedom Cactus".

* AmbiguousDisorder: He's most likely obsessive-compulsive, but it's never stated.
* BerserkButton:
** Don't ever steal Jeff's fries.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: As usual, He's more well mannered than that of Clarence and Sumo, tends to give anyone respect, based on his intentions towards others, but if anything that comes against him, he will likely not be afriad to attack anyone if they try to prokove him at that point.

* {{Expy}}: To [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Double D]].
* FreudianTrio: The Superego.
* {{Flanderization}}: Originally he went from being A OCD, yet a well intented boy with a few set of standards and morals to lay upon, to being borderline self-centered narcissistic, egotistic jerk, that would use Clarence as pawn just to being desperate to attention to all of the other kids, to whom they don't find him cool or that interesting at all. However in second and third season pretty much made him less of a jerk, sticking to his original roots of being moral to subjects, and had got used to Clarence and Sumo, based on their hijinks.
* HatesBeingTouched: Jeff is a ''huge'' germophobe and immediately disinfects himself after being touched.
* HasTwoMommies: Shown in "Jeff Wins" and outright stated in "Chimney" when he said his moms won't let him have a dog.
* IncrediblyLameFun: His ImagineSpot in "Man of the House" has him tying Clarence and Sumo up so he can clean the house.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Jeff has a tendency to think about himself more than others.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Jeff can be quite a control freak and selfish at times along with spouting some pretty hurtful things, but it's more than clear that he does care about Clarence and Sumo.

* NervousWreck: Jeff is jumpy.
* NotSoAboveItAll: He willingly gets into some of Clarence and Sumo's schemes, and he's been directly responsible for a few of the trio's antics.
** A regular occurrence is for Jeff to end up acting much worse than Clarence or Sumo after spending the episode preaching against them.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: The usually clean and well-behaved Jeff has loosened up a bit in "Dinner Party", and he does not stop anyone from going into Breen's attic, and is actually intrigued by it (thinking Breen's parents might be hiding something). Perhaps even ''he'' finds the party boring.
* RealMenWearPink: Shows no embarrassment in wearing a pink apron in the kitchen or doing housework.
* SkewedPriorities: He's absolutely desperate for success in life, having once prioritised cleaning Clarence's eyes in ''Puddle Eyes'' just so the trio would have a chance at the vision bee, and receives a WhatTheHellHero moment from Ms Baker in ''Average Jeff'' for outright claiming that he wants his future to be better than those of his friends.
* TheSmartGuy: While Sumo is mostly quick and nimble, and Clarence being either strength, Jeff will serve as the brains of the trio.
* StealthPun: Jeff has a ''square'' head to match his square personality.
* SuperOCD: Jeff in a nutshell.
* TerrifiedOfGerms: He HatesBeingTouched because of his fear of germs.
* {{Tritagonist}}: Fills this role when playing StraightMan to Clarence and Sumo.
* VocalEvolution: His voice has started to crack and become deeper beginning in Season 2 due to his voice actor being in the middle of puberty. He still tries to speak in a higher resonant.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: He's basically an uptight college student trapped in a body of a grade schooler.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Jason Marsden (Pilot), Creator/RogerCraigSmith

The resident {{Jerkass}} of the neighborhood.

* BigOlUnibrow: And he has the grouchy personality to match.

* ButtMonkey: He gets his deserved comeuppance a lot in this show.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Depending on the episode the kids either treat Belson like everyone or they (barring Clarence of course) see him as a jerkass they can barely stand to be around.

* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He's pretty awful at bullying Clarence, to the point where Clarence has no idea that he ''is'' a bully.

* TheNapoleon: He's small and a bully.
* RichBastard: He's rich, spoiled, and mean.

* ButtMonkey: Breehn tends to come across a lot of bad luck - he's had part of his house collapse, draws the ire of the entire class because of his peanut allergy leaving their zoo excursion ridiculously limited and later gets carted to hospital after tricking Percy into giving him a peanut butter sandwich. It's also implied that he's one of Belson's more frequent victims.
** The episode "Breehn Ho" seems to have been made for the purpose of subverting this as Breehn gets more than a few awesome moments in it and ends the episode the hero.
* ForgettableCharacter: Often times the other characters will not notice his presence, even when there are only four characters present and they're all sitting in a circle.

Another teacher at Aberdale Elementary, she seems to put very little effort into actually doing her job.

* BigEater: Is seen devouring a plate of wings in "Turtle Hats".
* CardCarryingVillain
* ChildHater: If her actions in "Lost Playground" are any indication (she took a bit too much glee in taking away the kids' recess).
* ForTheEvulz
* FreudianExcuse: According to a flashback to her childhood in lost ''Lost Playground'', [[spoiler:we find out that when all the other kids went outside to play during recess, her mother, Millie, who worked at Aberdale Elementary before she did, would never let her play outside, telling her that it was too dangerous and that she'd hurt herself]].
* FatBastard: Big, plump, mean to practically anyone, and an incredible buzzkill.
* FunHatingConfiscatingAdult: She has the ENTIRE playground confiscated when one of the kids is hurt.

* SadistTeacher: She punishes kids for tiny reasons.

* {{Troll}}: She vandalizes Mr. Reese's car with an insult directed towards him.
* VagueAge: She may be OlderThanSheLooks; in "The Substitute", she mentions that she has been teaching for 49 years, which may mean that if she started teaching when she was 18 to 21 years old, that would make her age about 67 or 70. In "Lost Playground", her mother, Millie Shoop, mentions that she told her to get off the playground 30 years ago.

* CosmicPlaything: Something bad happens to him in every episode he appears in.
* DemotedToExtra: He's a recurring character in the first season, but after his one major appearance in the second season, Josh only appears as an extra. Considering how he was maimed in some way during nearly every speaking role, it's probably for the best.

* AmbiguousDisorder: It's clear that she is a suffering from a form of dementia.
* BlindingBangs: Her eyes are hidden by her hair.
* ControlFreak: Dilliss thinks she needs to fix everything she sees her family doing. What's worse is that, possibly as a result of severe senility, she has no idea how to do ''any'' of these things and always makes things much worse: when she thought the knife Chad got to cut meatloaf was too sharp, she ended up stabbing him with a fork. When she thought Clarence's diorama had some pieces out of place, she completely destroys it. She thought the food in the fridge needed to be labelled, but spilled paint everywhere and took so long with it that everything spoiled.

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/belson_744.png
-->'''Voiced by:''' Jason Marsden (Pilot), Creator/RogerCraigSmith

The resident {{Jerkass}} of the neighborhood.

* BigOlUnibrow: And he has the grouchy personality to match.
* TheBully: A downplayed version, as he isn't overly malicious and is fine with simply hanging out with Clarence on occasion. He can be quite selfish, though, especially about his video games.
* ButtMonkey: He gets his deserved comeuppance a lot in this show.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Depending on the episode the kids either treat Belson like everyone or they (barring Clarence of course) see him as a jerkass they can barely stand to be around.
* TheEeyore: In "The Zoo", it's suggested that he's not so much a bully; rather he just has a negative attitude in general and doesn't like anything.
* EvilCounterpart: He's pretty much the opposite of Clarence, Clarence is optimistic while Belson is pessimistic, and they both have kind moms, and they have two best friends.
* FauxAffablyEvil: In every moments, he come off being deceiving as he tries to play it as being generous to Clarence and the kids, but in the end, he'll turn their backs down, just to see if he gets any attentions on doing so.
* FatBastard: Very pudgy and a SpoiledBrat.
* Flanderization: From time to time, in the second half of the first one, he came more over a jerkass to mostly to Clarence and nearly everyone else, while in Season 2, he was slightly demoted into alone playing with with portable game console.
* GagNose: Combined with the unibrow, he almost looks related to [[Series/SesameStreet Bert & Ernie.]]
* HiddenDepths:
** In "Clarence's Millions", he has a lot of stars on the good behavior board; implying he's not as bad he seems (or at least tones down his selfishness and pushy attitude at school).
** In "The Zoo", [[spoiler: he confesses to Clarence that he likes dolphins.]]
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He's pretty awful at bullying Clarence, to the point where Clarence has no idea that he ''is'' a bully.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's mean spirited, but ultimately pretty harmless. His cousin Gary [[InSeriesNickname "Mooch"]] is just as bad, if not worse.
* LonelyRichKid: Heavily suggested during the episode where Clarence goes to his sleepover.
* LaserGuidedKarma: He usually receives this, if his intentions backfires, while in "[[Recap/ClarenceS1E41 Li'l Buddy]]" had taken UpToEleven, when he pulled Clarence's pants down, just to get attention from most of kids, just then he was literally sucker punched in the nose by Clarence, who was already on edge.
* TheNapoleon: He's small and a bully.
* RichBastard: He's rich, spoiled, and mean.
* SpoiledBrat: His mom gets him everything he wants and in return he treats her like dirt (think Cartman back in the early episodes of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', only not as whiny or politically incorrect). "Dust Buddies" has his mom try to discipline him.
* {{Tuckerization}}: His name is a {{Spoonerism}} of creative director/showrunner Nelson Boles.
* UnknownRival: Clarence sees him as a friend, not realizing that he's the bully of the school, let alone that he actually dislikes Clarence.

* {{Flanderization}}: Minor example from FatIdiot and TheDitz, although him being naive and clueless was always his sole deeming personality, but However in early episodes had him personally went from being a rather naive imaginative child with few standards as to in later episodes of the second half of first season (depending on the writer), he became ostensibly stupid plus often becomes suspectable of being a KarmaHoudini, where he gets into trouble-making, especially with Sumo as sole subject and often get away without facing any consequences to start with.
