[[quoteright:359:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eltingville_group.png]]
[[caption-width-right:359:Clockwise from the top right: [[FatBastard Josh]], [[ControlFreak Bill]], [[NightmareFetishist Pete]], and [[TokenGoodTeammate Jerry]].]]
For teenage [[WithFriendsLikeThese "friends"]] ostensibly united by their shared love of pop culture. When they aren't grounded, they spend their days consuming and/or arguing about media, getting into fights with each other, and committing petty crime.

!!Tropes Applying to the Eltingville Club in General
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Downplayed. The cartoon pilot's simpler art style causes their skin to look considerably clearer than it does in the comics and makes them less prone to pulling [[NightmareFace unsettling facial expressions]].
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed. While they're still a bunch of entitled, violent assholes in the cartoon pilot, their friendship isn't ''quite'' as tenuous and they're shown getting along with each other more consistently. Their language is also considerably cleaner.
* AntiRoleModel: With the arguable exception of Jerry, the four of them are walking examples of how not to act as a member of a pop culture fandom.
* {{Fanboy}}: All four of them are incredibly negative caricatures of the archetype, being obsessive and argumentative losers who actively ruin others enjoyment of various media properties while claiming to know better than them.
* FourManBand:
** Mild-mannered and weak-willed Jerry is the OnlySaneMan.
** Abrasive ControlFreak Bill is TheSmartGuy.
** NightmareFetishist Pete is the CasanovaWannabe.
** FatComicRelief Josh is the ButtMonkey.
* GeekPhysiques: Bill and Jerry are both lanky, Josh is overweight, and Pete is short. Bill and Josh also wear thick NerdGlasses and all four have terrible skin.
* HotBlooded: With the exception of [[TokenGoodTeammate Jerry]], every member of the group is prone to indignant anger and shouting.
* NerdsArePervs: All four are shown to have very involved pre-sleep masturbation rituals and to lust after virtually every MsFanservice type character in pop culture. Josh and Pete also possess downright ''deranged'' sexual fetishes, with the latter being unable to maintain an erection of there isn't an equal amount of {{Gorn}} to porn onscreen.
* NerdyBully: Four nerds willing to steal toys from small children so that they can have doubles in their collection.
* TeensAreMonsters: They're all around 17 years old and are, at best, highly unpleasant people and, at worst, monstrous thugs who actively ruin the lives of the people around them.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: They're quick to turn on each other for their own gain and can never make it through a single outing without it ending in a fight.
