** Along with Grant and Rekha, they celebrate "Daddy's day" rather than father's day, in which they lament having a DisappearedDad(dy), leaving them at a loss on how to be someone ''else's'' Daddy.

!![[Creator/BrennanLeeMulligan Brennan Lee Mulligan]]
* BerserkButton: On one episode of ''Make Some Noise'', Brennan is given the prompt of "an old-time prospector getting into crypto." By the end of the skit, he's broken character completely and is just ranting about what a stupid idea he finds cryptocurrency to be.
* TheCassandra: His Tide CEO character laments that he keeps pointing out the obvious issues with Tide's design choices, but is ignored every time.
* CharacterCatchphrase:
** When he appears on "Um, Actually" whenever his more pedantic answers aren't accepted, he asks the audience to "get in the comments," to argue on his behalf.
** On ''Make some Noise'', he always responds to Sam's question if they have seen the prompts before by insisting that he can't know if he has until he sees them for the first time.
* CompetitionFreak: Plays one in "The Guy Who Has To Win Everything." He is this in real life too, which is frequently joked about on shows he is a contestant on. Several episodes of ''Game Changer'' is specifically about making him lose for the entertainment value of watching him grow more and more furious.
-->'''Brennan''': [[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cnOSZ-PsQM8 There is no corner of my heart I would not turn over to the world for five points]].

* DisproportionateRetribution: She's on the receiving end of this when she sneezes three times in a row (though she gets up to five sneezes before her coworkers start attacking her). She also tries to dull it out when someone microwaves fish in the office.

!!Grant O'Brien
* ArousedByTheirVoice: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwChStnnidA “The Skinny Bitch Diet Menu”]], Grant played a soft-and-sensually-spoken "dom-daddy" waiter who had this effect on many viewers [[EvenTheGuysWantHim of both genders]], judging by the comments on the video.
* TheBartender: His role on ''Dirty Laundry'', providing the guests with drink and occasionally being the subject of a secret. The series even has special episodes that are just Grant explaining how to mix drinks.
* CelebrityResemblance: Grant lampshades his resemblance to Keith Habersberger from Characters/TheTryGuys on several occasions, including one in which he laments the supposed failure of [[EasilyImpressed Lenjamin]]’s promise that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku-xWZQFG3c buying new glasses]] would make him look just like him. The gag is taken to a new level when [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MxJJ2LBI604 Grant and Keith appear in a sketch together.]]
* ComingOutStory: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgHwF4CNiJA He comes out to his fellow cast members]], and is confused when they show no reaction. [[NoBisexuals At first, that is.]]
* DemonicPossession: He's apparently possessed by one of the eight kings of hell, but is too lazy to go to church to fix it.
* EatTheRich:
** He dips into this view in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVuBqTQTqRQ 5 Tips for People Who Don't Understand Taxes]]".
-->'''Grant''': If this[[note]]A tips about getting paid in stocks to pay less taxes[[/note]] applies to you, you're part of the problem motherfucker, and when the revolution comes, I'm coming for you."
** Oddly enough, he expressed the exact opposite view in "Everyone's a Republican on Tax Day," in which he expressed support for right-wing efforts to lower taxes and encouraged Lily to join the Republican Party.
* ExtremeOmnisexual: Already known as bisexual, his proclivities are shown to go even beyond humans as disturbingly shown at the end of [[http://www.collegehumor.com/video/40002390/date-with-a-fast-food-burger this video.]]
* AFriendInNeed: He's the only one to stick around to help Katie and take her to the hospital when she [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xyzxCPjQbs remains delusionally oblivious]] to the embarrassment of her public PottyFailure, offering his jacket to cover it up, after Zac and Trapp have both left in revulsion.
* TheHyena: He's notorious for [[http://www.collegehumor.com/video/40003510/collegehumors-favorite-grant-fails laughing and breaking character]] during filming, and has been the loser in two episodes of the "No Laugh Newsroom Challenge".
* TheKlutz: Plays this both for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJisJRFYgsY comedy]] and for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkwhiU6HS-E horror.]]

* NiceGuy: In a twist on the last two, the third episode of "True Facts About Grant Anthony O'Brien" is about him being praised for being a good friend, mentioning a lot of specific instances where he would go out of his way to help his friends, be kind and supportive, and all around a great guy.
* ReallyGetsAround: In "True Facts About Grant Anthony O'Brien 2", he has his Social Security Number read aloud by Brennan, who is playing a character named after the amount of people Grant once gave oral sex to in one night in 2012.
--> '''Brennan''': (shocked) Hello, I'm... '''50?!''' That can't be right!\\
'''Grant''': There was a party that I went to... They had parties underneath the supermarket in Brooklyn. ...I guess that's the end of the sentence!\\
'''Brennan''': Let's say every blowjob took a minute and a half...\\
'''Grant''': They weren't all to completion.
* RidiculousProcrastinator: He and Raph are both too lazy to fix up their lives. Grant has his foot stuck in a beartrap but doesn't want to call animal control (or a ''doctor''), carries around a cursed idol but there's too much beach trafic to throw it into the sea, and is possessed by one of the eight kings of hell but doesn't want to remember all the songs in church.

* BeneathTheMask: She engages in some quite tragic SelfDeprecation in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqvvCySP148 “These Sketch Pitches are Too Personal”]], while denying that she’s doing it and insisting that she’s just pitching sketches.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3za_ZvUiNc "Porn but for Crying"]], she considers sentimental {{glurge}} to be more morally reprehensible than actual porn.
* CasanovaWannabe: Zigzagged. She doesn't flirt ''directly'', but she tries to get everyone else to flirt with her.
* CloudCuckoolander: Although most of the actors play these kinds of parts, Katie is probably the queen of this trope. For example, she [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qArvBdHkJA not only doesn’t see race, but also pretty much any other distinguishing feature in humans.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: She shot Raph in the mouth over a donut.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Plays a ShrinkingViolet of a vampire who is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGALD5DZOOQ extremely hesitant to accept Rekha's invitation to enter her apartment.]]
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: In terms of her role in the cast, she's something of a spiritual successor to Amir Blumenfeld.
* FunctionalAddict: Likes cocaine, but the mountains of it she consumes never seems to have any lasting effect upon her.
* HateSink: She really has fun playing a lot of these, though the actor obviously isn't one.
* {{Hipster}}: She is proud of how little she knows about anything that is popular so that she can claim she has better taste than anyone who likes something popular. Claims that anything popular is 'stupid and bad' and brings up things she knows nothing about (claiming someone else brought them up) so she can brag about how little she knows.
* {{Hypocrite}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GWZ86_wv0w After an earthquake]], she complains that her coworkers are phone addicts because they are glued to their phones after a catastrophe. Said coworkers are actually trying to contact emergency services, let loved ones know they're okay, and trying to find out what to do. Turns out that her phone was broken, and she just doesn't want to be the only one not on her phone. When she gets it to work, she immediately logs onto social media.
* ItsAllAboutMe: She is ''convinced'' that the entire office want to get into her pants, and take anything they do as flirting.
* OverlyLongGag: Invokes one [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aitp_kqWMwM surrounding cheerleaders]], in an attempt to be "part of the group". It backfires.
* PottyFailure: Suffers a bad - and incongrous - case of this in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xyzxCPjQbs “Wow, everyone’s flirting with me”.]]
* RunningGag: She REALLY likes cocaine.
** Also, she's convinced that everyone is flirting with her all the time.
** She frequently shits her pants.
* TheStoic: She is legendary for keeping a straight face under pressure. In all the years that ''Breaking News'' has been produced, she has only [[{{Corpsing}} corpsed]] a total of ''14 times'' across all of her appearances.

* BrutalHonesty: While everyone is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K-kaeNCtXY directing backhanded compliments against an absent co-worker]], he is the first one to be overtly insulting.
* CannotSpitItOut: After hitting his head, he spends an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xua4BlV9LCg entire sketch]] unable to answer a question about who the US president is in 2017 because he has dismissed his first (correct) impulse as too insane to be true.

* MurderMakesYouCrazy: Viewers of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXi_rvD6r10 "How Tall is Grant?"]] suggested that this was Trapp's guilt-induced hallucination after murdering Pat Cassels.

* HaremSeeker: "My Two True Loves."
* NiceGuy: His typical persona is innocent, polite and well-intentioned. In "New Guy" he willingly subjects himself to a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown at the hands of an AxCrazy new programmer because [[HonorBeforeReason it's the guy's first day and he needs support.]]

* NiceGuy: His typical persona is innocent, polite and well-intentioned. In "New Guy" he willingly subjects himself to a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown at the hands of an AxCrazy new programmer because [[HonorBeforeReason it's the guy's first day and he needs support.]]
* OnlySaneMan: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMUl6w1efXI “Coming out as trans-everything”]], in which everyone else is a CloudCuckoolander.
* WellDoneSonGuy: An episode of ''The [=CollegeHumor=] Show'' implied that he's this.
* {{Yandere}}: In "My Bloody Valentine", he's so obsessed with Sarah that he murders everyone in the office.

* CondescendingCompassion: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du94GxXjBuY “I’m Black, Not Poor”]], he cops a ton of this from his co-workers, as well as from a ''homeless woman who gives him her food''.
* DontCelebrateJustYet: He takes this mindset to an absurd extreme in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duSEpurusCA “Don't Jinx Anything by Celebrating”]], even as he moves from strength to strength, eventually refusing to celebrate his Oscar-victory because he's not married to his girlfriend yet.
* DysfunctionalFamily: So much so that he is compelled to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-PVT_rclnM rush around in a protective suit during Thanksgiving dinner to physically disarm the conversational landmines before any major fight breaks out.]]
* EasilyImpressed: Exaggerated by his character, Lenjamin from IT, in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku-xWZQFG3c “The Guy who Overhypes Everything”.]]
* EvilTwin: He apparently has one, but is putting of killing him. They're always anticipating each other's every move, it's a whole thing.
* FakeInteractivity: In his closing speech, he pretends to take a message from the audience, responding accordingly:
-->'''Raphael:''' And click here to leave a detailed message... uh-huh... what, you what?... you didn't!... I'd-a-done the same thing.
* GiftGivingGaffe: Commits [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apN4BMMKt2E an increasingly ridiculous and implausible series of them at Christmas time,]] making it painfully obvious to his co-workers that the gifts he supposedly bought them are really for himself.
* {{Hipster}}: In "The Guy Who's a Total Rap Snob," his extreme NostalgiaFilter has led him to become this.
-->'''Ally:''' What about games? Do you like Fortnite?
-->'''Raph:''' I prefer Pong.
-->'''Ally:''' Favorite basketball player?
-->'''Raph:''' Dr. J, before he started all that dunking.
-->'''Ally:''' Smartphone.
-->'''Raph:''' I'm a Chirp man.
* ItSeemedTrivial: He tells sensational stories while leaving out [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik9x-i1xquE the important details that make them sensational.]]
* LiteralMinded: Mistakes a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCqR8GkdxA4 magic show for an instance of theft.]]
* LivingADoubleLife: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hbw2FgB5xM "Different Friends to Different People"]], Raphael completely changes his act depending on his company.
* MiscarriageOfJustice: He's apparently accused of being the Son of Sam, though he's too late to exonerate himself.
* ParodySue: The universe bends to his will in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7vF1vfJSEs “Everyone’s Favorite New Cast Member”]], to the consternation of [[RetGone Ally.]]
* RidiculousProcrastinator: He refuses to fix anything about his life, no matter how trivial, because it's too much effort. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGzVnahTDrE Among other things, he's too lazy to fix his air conditioner, find new pants after he sat in glue, exonerate himself after he was mistakenly identified as the serial killer the Son of Sam, and kill his evil twin.]]
* StoppedCaring: Is quite happy to WatchTheWorldDie until realising that it would [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3x1zcnKtDHg stop him from being able to watch the new ''Star Wars'' movie.]]

!!Rekha Shankar
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: In "You're too sad to argue with", she has a long list of ''very'' strange and unusual beliefs, many of which are based on weird superstition and plain don't make sense, such as that God grants one genie-like wish when you enter heaven, and only one because there are infinite people in the world, and God can't grant double infinite wishes. She also believes that people go to different heavens depending on where they died, such as people who die in car accidents going to "car heaven."
* DispenseWithThePleasantries: Gets more than she asks for when she demands her coworkers [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGEaBAer1Xs stop being so polite to her because she’s new.]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Finishes her novel, but doesn't think she deserves anything nice as a reward in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iDtDPergsI "No, I Don't Deserve Nice Things".]]
* ICantHearYou: She struggles to make sense of what everyone is talking about in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JY3yLjCbpQE "Sorry, What'd You Say Again?".]]
* MellowFellow: Her character of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksG3mTPqd4w Bluronica]] is an extreme female example.
* QuietCryForHelp: She does one in her closing speech, while maintaining a broad smile.
-->'''Rekha:''' I love my job, and I'm definitely not trapped in this video. ''(She breathes to create condensation in front of her, in which she writes "Help" with her finger)'' Things are great!
* SkewedPriorities: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRSsa2o6PDQ&t=88s She refuses to give up anything from her backpack]] to ''save her life'', no matter how unimportant or irrelevant those things are. The only thing she's willing to throw of a cliff is a ''puppy''.

* AuthorFilibuster: The "Dropout America" series of ''Breaking News'' is based on the gag that he's actually a chest-thumping conservative who uses Dropout to convey his radical right news.
* BadBoss: He's ''not'' this, but his employees frequently joke that he is, such as accusing him of not having installed smoke alarms because "if [they] burn to death [he'll] just get some new ones."
* CharacterCatchphrase: "I've been here the whole time."
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: The premise of ''We've Met Before'' Breaking Newsroom, as punishment for losing he has to recount when he believes he actually first met his fellow cast members (Katie Marovitch, Mike Trapp, and Brennen Lee Mulligan), and is wrong on each count, including forgetting that he and Katie are Cousins.
* LimitedWardrobe: Invariably wears the same blue pinstripe suit when he hosts ''Game Changer'' only switching out the tie. His wardrobe is more varied when hosting ''Make Some Noise'' or appearing in ''Breaking Newsroom''.

* FriendsWithBenefits: ''Full Benefits'' presents her and David as colleagues in a "situationship".
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only female cast member in the earliest sketches, so she would often get sorted into the "Token Female" role.

* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: She only appears sporadically, which is often lampshaded.
* ItsAllAboutMe: She only thinks about fatal tragedies in terms of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh5oNRuKLJM how they affect her]], and only considers previous decades in terms of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc6VP7Qp-Y8 how cool she could have been in them.]]

* BadLiar: He's a horrible liar, which actually works to his benefit in Secret Samta. Since the name of the game is to lie about the contents of present to keep good gifts and trick people into stealing punishments, Raph and Carolyn can tell he's lying, but not if he's lying to keep or to give away.

* TheBigGuy: Surprisingly despite looking rather scrawny. In one episode of ''Make Some Noise'', both minigames require strength to do right. In the first game, both his competitors use clever solutions to get around it, while Zac does the game exactly as intended with no issue. In the second, he solves his problem first and the other two both hand over theirs for him to solve.
* TheBore: "The Guy Who Always Talks About Hot Girls" and "I Got NO Sleep Last Night."

* ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask: Continues to relate how he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9Cald-OCPA got no sleep last night]] while fighting off and defeating all the other cast members who are attacking him because of his gall in telling this story.
