History Characters / TuckerAndDaleVsEvil

->Played by:''' Creator/PhilipGranger

* TooDumbToLive: While it's expected that college students often make poor decisions in horror films, this crew takes ineptness to a whole new level, with the exception of Allison (who knows everything because she is with Tucker and Dale) and Mitch [[spoiler: (who at least had the relative dignity to die fleeing from a man running toward him with a chainsaw, having no way of knowing the man was fleeing from a swarm of wasps).]]

* {{Fanservice}}: A beautiful young blonde who bares her midriff a good portion of the movie and strips down to her underwear to go skinny dipping.

* EurekaMoment: In the moments before his death, he notices a bee that lands on his nose, and he's able to piece together that Tucker was panicking from being swarmed by bees and wasn't trying to kill him. He unfortunately dies before he can pass this knowledge along to his friends.

* OnlySaneMan: He at least tries to argue that Tucker and Dale aren't murderous hillbillies and find reasonable explanations for everything going on. Unfortunately, he loses this when Tucker starts running towards him while revving a chainsaw and screaming at the top of his lungs.

* OhCrap: Once he's stuck on the spear and bleeding out, the look on his face seems to connote that he realizes that Tucker was merely trying to dispel the hornets while running around.
* OnlySaneMan: Suggests that the hillbillies aren't psychopaths and that the whole situation is just a misunderstanding.

** Chad and the college kids (with the exception of Allison) are ivory tower fools who are ignorant of blue-collar tasks, while Tucker and Dale are skilled and hardy guys working in developing their cabin.

* BookDumb: Dale says he never made past the third grade but can remember any trivial fact he learns.

* SanitySlippage: He wasn't particularly sane to begin with, but by the end of the film, [[spoiler:Chad's had half his face burned off, been rejected by Allison in favor of Dale, and discovered that he's the son of the killer hillbilly that he thought murdered his father. All this pushes him further over the brink until he finally becomes the deranged backwoods killer that he so despised.]]

** Chad and the college kids are conventionally attractive, while Tucker and Dale are rather homely looking guys.

** Chad is an arrogant asshole who believes himself to be entitled to women and doesn't think his actions through, while Dale is a shy person who is aware of his flaws and learns to consider the feelings of others, to which Tucker sometimes makes fun of.

* HanlonsRazor: Both of them are decent people just trying to clean up their new home, but the teens believe they are stereotypical homicidal hillbillies from the horror movies. Their "crimes" are really just a result of them being in the wrong place at the wrong time while the teens jump to conclusions about their activities.

* ShipperOnDeck: Encourages Dale to be confident in him abilities to talk to women and supports his efforts to make himself look not so scary to Allison.

* AFriendInNeed: While their efforts are misguided and cause a lot of harm, they ultimately come from trying to save Allison when they thought she was in danger.

A college girl studying psychology who hits her head while skinny dipping and befriends Dale after he rescues her.

* FinalGirl: Due to the fact that all the college kids who tried to kill Tucker and Dale end up dead, Allison is the only woman to survive.

* NoSympathy: Towards his friends when they get freaked out by all the deaths and don't want to keep going at Tucker and Dale by themselves. He flat out tells Chloe that he thinks she deserves to die for being afraid.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Asks if having a recurring dream about sucking a dick but not having actually done it in real life is gay. His friends say yes.

* LovableCoward: Cowers for a majority of the film until attempting a rescue of his friends at the climax.

* {{Irony}}: He's asthmatic, something that's usually associated with stereotypical weak, shy, and socially submissive nerd/geek characters- things that are the exact ''opposite'' of his general character archetype.

* NiceGuy: Hasn't got a single mean-spirited bone in his body. [[spoiler:It's one of the reasons Allison falls in love with him.]]

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Her responses and body language when Chad (in full asshole mode) is trying to hit on her make it clear she's used dealing with jerks and is pretty fed up with it. [[spoiler:She falls for Dale precisely because he is so kind, polite, sweet, and unpretentious.]]

* AssholeVictim: Getting half his face burned off? Totally had it coming.

* FreudianExcuse: His hatred for hillbillies stems from the fact that, as a child, he learned that his father was killed in a massacre orchestrated by two hillbillies when he was camping with his friends and Chad's mom.[[spoiler:During the climax his hatred is made ten times worse when he learns that the hillbilly who killed the man he thought was his father also raped his mother, causing his conception.]]

* HiddenDepths: She grew up on a farm and is thus no stranger to menial labor like digging a hole for an outhouse, much to Dale's pleasant surprise. She's also studying to become a therapist and genuinely wants to help people communicate better.

* HiddenDepths: She grew up on a farm and thus is no stranger to menial labor, much to Dale's pleasant surprise. She also reveals that her dream is to become a therapist and to help people communicate better.

* IrrationalHatred: FreudianExcuse or not, his hate of hillbillies is completely out of control. At one point he even tells said excuse to Tucker and Tucker points out that he was ten at the time and had absolutely nothing to do with what happened to his family, which does nothing to convince Chad of stopping trying to kill him.

* BloodSplatteredInnocents: Gets a faceful of blood twice, first when Mike accidently chucks himself into the wood chipper, second when Naomi takes a weedwhacker to the face.
