* ButtMonkey: When Barry comes into his life, his following days turn into a nightmare; he unintentionally breaks his back, gets him in trouble for accidentally giving his ex-girlfriend his address and mistakes Julie for said ex, embarrasses him at a brunch with his boss' client, and has his car totaled by his ex who posed as his current girlfriend! This guy just couldn't catch a break.

!!Tim Conrad
-->Portrayed by Creator/PaulRudd
* TheEveryMan: Aside from bringing in a few more figures than your average American, Tim Conrad is pretty much your typical Paul Rudd StraightMan.
* HonestCorporateExecutive: The biggest clash he has with the higher-ups is their obvious lack of morality. Tim is much more direct and honest, and lands a meeting with Martin Mueller by being just that.
* CrackOhMyBack: Has a back brace ready to go, just in case this happens.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: with Barry Speck, though not by choice.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Tim agrees to participate in the "Dinner for Winners" so that he can get a promotion and impress his girlfriend. He's clearly uncomfortable with it, and by the movie's end, he admits to his jerkassery.
!!Barry Speck
-->Portrayed by Creator/SteveCarell
* {{Adorkable}}: Typical to Carell. This time around, he plays the kind-hearted simpleton taxidermist who's desperate for a friend.
* CloudCuckooLander: Barry is a very, very, very large moron. That's the joke.
* LiteralMinded: Takes everything at face value or hilariously misconstrues the degree to which his help is required in a given situation.
* NiceGuy: Though he causes nothing but misfortune for Tim the moment he steps into his life, Barry genuinely has his heart in the right place.
