History Characters / TheAmazingWorldOfGumballOtherCitizensOfElmore

* LikeFatherLikeSon: "The Choices" shows that, in his youth, he was just as much a CasanovaWannabe and a {{Jerkass}} as Tobias, possibly even worse.

* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Even though Jackie isn't the best, why would she marry her slimey, cowardly jerk of a husband is unknown.

* {{Jerkass}}: Many of her scenes shows her as an unpleasant and rude person.

* OneWordVocabulary: Throughout the series, Margaret only speaks in "Mehs" and nothing else, she even writes like this as seen in her diary. Some characters do seem to understand what she's saying, like with Mr. Robinson, and Darwin even tries to speak with her using her "Meh" language, but in just comes across as nonsensical phrases to her.

* NotHelpingYourCase: Falls into this in "The Car." While he's justified in being furious at the Wattersons for destroying his new car, he doesn't do himself any favors by screaming in Donut Cop's face to arrest them, destroying the Wattersons' own car in a fit of rage ''right in front of him'', and then trying to attack Donut Cop when he tasers Margaret, who was trying to attack the former first; in the end, all he succeeds in doing is getting ''himself'' arrested.

** In "The Pizza," he quits all of his jobs after being the ButtMonkey for too long.

** Larry has 38 jobs, and if he stops, society collapses and his heart stops from exaustion. Richard does not work at all, and if he does, the world ends.

* JerkassHasAPoint: While [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech her assessment of Nicole and her family]] is horrendously classist, she is right about two things: First, Nicole really did miss out on higher education to live with Richard, to her financial detriment (although that was as much because her parents drove her away). Second, the play date between Anais and Billy was indeed a transparent and rather pathetic attempt at [[SocialClimber social climbing]] on Nicole's part.

-->Last appearance" Season 4, "The Routine"

-->Voiced by Rupert Degas (Season 1), Stefan Ashton Frank (Season 2 onward)

->'''Voiced by''': Lewis [=MacLeod=] (Season 1), Dan Russell (Season 2, onward)

* WitchClassic: She turns out to really be a witch, as Gumball had guessed, and has a lot of the visual traits, including discolored warty skin, [[SinisterSchnoz a big nose]], and a WitchBroom (though she also has regular brooms).

* HateSink: A smug, unsympathetic, misogynistic RichBastard. He's enjoyed humiliating Richard since High School and rubs his success in his face as an adult. He doesn't even seem to care for his wife much either, ranging from [[DirtyCoward leaving her in danger to save himself]], to replacing her with Jazelle, a younger woman when he thinks he's struck it rich. One vision of Nicole's future in "The Choices" shows that had she married him instead of Richard, he'd [[DomesticAbuse have degraded and insulted her]] to the point where she snaps [[KickTheSonOfABitch and kills him]]. His attitude seems to have rubbed off on [[CasanovaWannabe his son]] as well, which of course [[ButtMonkey never goes well for Tobias.]]

** Unintentionally done in "The Pizza", where he decides to quit all of his jobs after [[DudeWheresMyRespect being humiliated so much by everyone in Elmore]]. Unbeknownst him, this causes an economic collapse in his absence and everyone suffers from it except him.

* {{Workaholic}}: Larry take all his jobs very seriously--mostly to distract himself from how he doesn't find any of them fulfilling.

* BarrierMaiden: Similar to Alan, he holds so many jobs that his continued employment is required to keep Elmore's economy (and society as a whole) from spontaneously collapsing.

* OverprotectiveDad: He refuses to let Penny see Gumball after his family makes a bad impression in "The Knights", and flat-out refuses to even let her say anything about it. In "The Kids", when Gumball's voice sounds like a squeaky teenager due to puberty and Patrick thinks it's a prank call, he gives Gumball (whom he mistakes for somebody else) fair warning to back down or suffer the consequences. "The Shell" implies a lot of this is because their whole family are secretive about what they're like under their shells, but this ends up backfiring and making Penny feel ashamed after she leaves her shell. Since "The Shell," however, Patrick hasn't been as overprotective or as antagonistic to Gumball: In "The Spoiler," he still feels the need to eavesdrop over Gumball and Penny's phone conversation, but he's notably less hostile towards Gumball than he was before and actually feels bad about revealing a major plot point in "The Screamening".

* {{Expy}}: He bears a lot of resemblance to [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Squidward]] in terms of personality (a CrankyNeighbor who the main character inexplicably adores, loves dance) and appearance (same nose, round bald head, similar coloration). He's also very similar to [[WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife Ed Bighead]], because both [[AwfulWeddedLife CONSTANTLY argue with their wives]], [[CrankyNeighbor frequently get angry at their neighbors]], and have an adult son who is initially estranged, but whom they [[CharacterDevelopment get on better terms with over the course of the series]].

* StatuesqueStunner: A gorgeous women who's nearly the same height as the [=6'4''=] Richard.

* DonutMessWithACop: He's a cop ''and'' a living doughnut, as well as the page image.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite claiming that he wants nothing to do with Wattersons, "The Heart" reveals that when Gumbal and Darwin were little, he would [[{{Troll}} personally go out of his way to mess with them]]. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard This would backfire later on when Gumball and Darwin become thoroughly convinced that he's their best friend]].
