** While cast regular Shaunte Massard switches between playing heroes and antagonists throughout the series, her roles are usually that of the former. Examples of her having the latter roles include the foster mom from "Evil Foster Care Mother Mistreats Kid", Patty from "Mean Lady Destroys Gender Reveal", Candace from "Mom Calls Cops On Mexican Neighbors", and Mary from "Youtubers Use Kid With Down Syndrome For Views", to name a few.

** Dhar Mann indirectly acknowledges this tendency in his first Christmas special where he had his actors compete against each other in a game show event. He had his actors divided into teams of two: one team consisting of actors who often play good characters and one team of actors who often play bad ones.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Jose Rosette was supposed to continue playing "Sam Miller" (Mikey's Dad) since his first debut in "Kid FAKES SICK NOTE to Skip Class", He Instantly Regrets It" and then Sam Miller was originally supposed to appear more and return in Mikey's videos, but unfortunately, he was replaced by Derek Grauer and he becomes Mikey's new stepdad because he's very nice, friendly, pleasent, and good parent, while Sam is somewhat a harsh and abusive parent, and actually, there is a reason why Sam Miller didn't appear in Mikey's videos anymore, it's because due to his harsh behaviour and treatment towards Mikey.

** Newer Dhar Mann regular Rebecca Ritz usually portrays teachers, principals, or some other sort of authority figure. Whether the character is antagonistic or helps the main characters varies from video to video.

** Valerie Eve usually plays the main antagonist, an AlphaBitch who cruelly bullies the protagonist (though she sometimes reforms in the end), or the VillainProtagonist, a [[RichBitch rich]] SpoiledBrat who abuses her wealth until learning better. However in "Teen Caught Sneaking into a Party", her character Ariel is a NiceGirl who only rejects the titular teen for lying to her.

* DisabledCharacterDisabledActor: Sam, the titular boy from "Kids Make Fun of Boy with Autism," is played by Autistic actor Brendan Schroeder. He would later play another similar character, Kevin, in "Evil Foster Mother Mistreats Autistic Kid".

** While she's often seen playing rich mothers who harass other mothers for struggling financially, Katherine Norland appears as the titular ''poor'' mom from "Rich Mom Humiliates Poor Mom."

** Madhulika Krishnan almost always plays an AlphaBitch bully or a SpoiledBrat. [[TakeAThirdOption Or a combination of the two]]. Actress Valerie Eve has similar roles as well, though hers usually doubles as rich girls.

* QueerCharacterQueerActor: Dexter Farren Haag plays the titular character of "Gay Teen Pressured to Come Out." Haag reveals in the behind-the-scenes video that he also identifies as gay.
* ThoseTwoActors: Sofia Chicorelli Serna and Brianni Walker usually appear in the same videos together as best friends or as a Bully and their Victim.
** Likewise Ayden Mekus and Devon Weetly also occasionally appear in various episodes together.

* RecycledScript:
** Dhar has used the "parent adopts a child of a different race, gets called out on it by a bigot, said bigot is swayed by the adoptive parent's life story" plot three separate times in about a year ("Lady Calls COPS On A Black Dad With A White Son", "White Dad Shamed for Black Son, What Happens Next Is Shocking", "Lady Calls Cop on a Black Mom With a White Kid, Instantly Regrets It"), with little variation in the plot and dialogue. The only difference between "Lady Calls Cop on a Black Dad With a White Son" is that the titular dad [[spoiler: isn't revealed to have been friends with their adoptive child's parents/parent; he was just a man who wanted to adopt the boy after learning that he had been abused by his biological father]].
** Dhar Mann has also made a handful of videos focusing on someone being body shamed and then dumped by a partner ("Husband Abandons Overweight Wife", "Boyfriend Fat Shames Girlfriend", "Girlfriend Dumps Her Boyfriend for Being Too Short", and "Guy Dumps Girlfriend for Being Too Tall"). All of them play out the same way: the protagonist gets body shamed by their partner who eventually leaves them, the partner gets with someone else who doesn't treat them as well as the protagonist and ''they'' eventually break up, the partner runs into the protagonist and tries to get back together with them, only for the protagonist to reveal they're now with someone who accepts them as they are. Most also have the partner question the new partner if it bothers them that the protagonist has the flaw that they had a problem with, with the new partner responding with some variation of "it's what's on the inside that counts."
** "Teacher With Dwarfism is Made Fun Of" is basically a retread of "[=TikTok=] Famous Teen Kicked Out of Office." Both focus on a woman being hired by a struggling place of business to help them get back on their feet. The woman's unconventional methods earn her reprimand from an aggressively judgmental employee at the business. But when the newcomer's methods end up saving the business, the employee has a HeelFaceTurn and comes to respect her new co-worker's methods. Both videos even have Katherine Norland and Riki Yvette Westmoreland playing the judgmental employee and her boss respectively.
** "Businessman Won't Serve to Lesbians" is essentially an unofficial LGBTQ+ reboot of "Greedy Boss Cheats his Customers." Both focus on an employee objecting to their hostile boss's unethical practices, which eventually culminates in them quitting their job to start their own business. Each protagonist starts out strong, only to hit a rough patch soon after opening their business, at which point their former boss shows up to [[KickTheDog gloat about being right]]. Both scenes even contain near-identical exchanges where: the boss says the protagonist won't be able to get their old job back due to being replaced, the employees says they'd "rather be homeless" than work for their cruel bosses again, and the boss sarcastically says that remark "hurt their feelings" before mocking their former employee further. Later on, some happenstance results in the employee achieving great success while their old boss's business flounders, with each video ending with the boss arrogantly storming after being told off by their former employee.
** The high school videos involving an AlphaBitch bullying another girl (ranging from a fat girl, a girl with Down Syndrome, and a wheelchair bound girl) all seem to involve the AlphaBitch interested in a boy, bullying the other girl, and then after the Aesop, the boy turns down the AlphaBitch in favour of the victim.

* CreatorBacklash: In early 2023, the majority of Dhar Mann actors spoke out against the mistreatment they went through, which included: not getting paid for their work, getting fired if they called it out, and probably worst of all, doing all of this with ''child actors as well''. They are currently leading a strike at Dhar Mann's studio.

** While she's a side character, Mair Mulroney's character Michelle from "Rich Guy Shames A Window Washer" is shown to be nice and understanding and disagrees Steven's (the main antagonist's) rude behavior and actions, which is pretty much a far cry compared to [[{{Jerkass}} her usual roles.]]
