| 16 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Michael Cusack (Pim's Sister, Mother and Father), Creator/NickWolfhard (Graham Nelly), Tom Fulp (Amy's Boyfriend) |
| 17 | Pim's DysfunctionalFamily whom he hasn't visited since Christmas. |
| 18 | ---- |
| 19 | * AbusiveParents: The [[ParentalNeglect neglectful]] type. The youngest kids are wild cards roaming across the background of the scene while the elder siblings are having dinner. They still provide some parental guidance, at least back when Pim was still a child. |
| 20 | * AlcoholicParent: Both parents, the mother moreso. She holds a glass of wine in her hand while keeping the bottle(.png) to her right. |
| 21 | ** Might be even. As a flashback in "Enchanted Forest" shows that Pim's father, Steven, would hold a beer bottle while walking down the sidewalk with his son. |
| 22 | * AmbiguouslyTrained: According to one of the picture frames that Zach elaborates on in an interview, Pim has a brother that served in Afghanistan. It's unknown if he [[ReturningWarVet returned]]. |
| 23 | * AwfulWeddedLife: It would seem that its nothing but DeadSparks between the parents. |
| 24 | * BigBrotherBully: A gender-flipped example; Pim's sister Amy flat-out tells him that she lacks any positive feelings toward her younger brother. |
| 25 | * BigSHUTUP: "AW, WOULD YOU SHUT THE ~BLEEP~ UP, WOMAN?! I WAS DOWN IN THE BLOODY MINES FOR FOURTEEN HOURS TODAY!" |
| 26 | * TheBogan: Angry Australian blue collar slobs, the lot of them. |
| 27 | * CharacterTic: Amy provides her boyfriend with several [[BicepKiss pecks on the bicep]] whenever she asks him something. |
| 28 | * CoolBoard: Averted. The only skateboard Graham Nelly owns is a Tech Deck. |
| 29 | * CreatorThumbprint: Most of co-creator Michael Cusack's other works satirize Australian culture and society, and Pim's family allows him to do this in ''WesternAnimation/SmilingFriends'' despite the show being set in {{Eagleland}}. |
| 30 | * TheDitz: Graham Nelly doesn't seem to be quite there. |
| 31 | * FaceOfAThug: Amy's boyfriend looks like a stereotypical JerkJock, but is implied to be a polite and nice person, given that he insists that he ruined the dinner and apologizes profusely when he vomits. |
| 32 | * FantasyForbiddingFather: {{Justified|Trope}}. When Pim was a child and expressed a desire to embark on a magical quest in the Enchanted Forest, his father forbade him. Steven didn't do this for petty grievances, as he clearly reasoned to his son that he was just a child who didn't have the unrelenting dedication, bravery, and wisdom needed of a more mature hero to survive the Forest, and still went to reassure him that [[PetTheDog he might become that one day.]] |
| 33 | * FiveSecondForeshadowing: Graham's supposed skateboarding ability is immediately cast into doubt when you see his pot belly and man-boobs. |
| 34 | * FreeRangeChildren: There's one writing on the wall, another climbing through the insulation in the walls, and at least two more running around the house. |
| 35 | * GentleGiant: Amy's boyfriend is a gigantic, muscular man who is also incredibly polite and patient, given how he doesn't mind the constant racket going on from his in-law's arguing and when he vomits, he apologizes profusely and insists that he ruined the entire family dinner. |
| 36 | * {{Gonk}}: The rest of Pim's family at least somewhat resembles him, but Cousin Graham has a weirdly realistic face and head. |
| 37 | * HairTodayGoneTomorrow: Steven had a brunette upward fringe, a clean-cut face, and hairy arms when Pim was a little boy, but in the present he only has a combover and a shaved stubble on his arms and chin. |
| 38 | * HugeGuyTinyGirl: Amy is about a third of the size of her muscular boyfriend. |
| 39 | * ImplausibleBoardingSkills: Averted. Despite Pim's high praises for his cousin, Graham can barely keep a hold on his Tech Deck. |
| 40 | * {{Jerkass}}: Pim's family are all shown to be downright abhorrent self-centered jerks, with the exception of Graham, who seems to be on good terms with Pim, and Amy's Boyfriend, who apologizes politely after barfing. |
| 41 | * LadyDrunk: The mother is of the wine-addicted white trash variety. |
| 42 | * LovableJock: Amy's boyfriend, he's a ripped dude who definitely spends a lot of time at the gym, and he's shown to be a soft-spoken and patient person who has good manners, as he doesn't make any complaints about how noisy and dysfunctional his in-law's home is, and apologizes profusely and insists he ruined the dinner when he abruptly vomits. |
| 43 | * NiceGuy: Averted '''hard''' for most of the family itself, but Implied with Amy's boyfriend, who seems genuinely apologetic for vomiting at the dinner table. Graham is a lesser example, in that, while he's a bit off, he certainly is ''far'' more polite and accommodating to Pim and his friends compared to his blood relatives, even showing off his mini-skateboard trick. |
| 44 | * NoIndoorVoice: The parents scream at each other due to Steven refusing to be in the same room as the rest of his family. |
| 45 | * NoNeckChump: Amy's boyfriend. |
| 46 | * NoNameGiven: Pim's mother, Amy's boyfriend, and the kids running around in the background are never mentioned by name. |
| 47 | * ParentsAsPeople: Steven forbids Pim from entering the Enchanted Forest, but he also makes it clear that he simply lacked the bravery, wisdom and strength to enter, and also that he could one day be worthy. Completely averted by his appearance in the present, in which he takes his time off his 14 hours of work a day to watch TV, not giving any attention to his kids or even noticing Pim's appearance. |
| 48 | * PetTheDog: A mild example with Pim's mother. While she's clearly a drunk, she ''does'' scold Pim's father for not sitting at the dinner table with the rest of the family when their son is home, implying that she does love him ''somewhat'', at least compared to his far worse sister and father. |
| 49 | ** A flashback in Enchanted Forest also shows that Steven also does love him somewhat, sharing a Creator/TomBrady-style kiss with him. |
| 50 | ** Amy showed slight concern of her boyfriend when he vommited on the dinner table. |
| 51 | * PhoneaholicTeenager: Amy holding her phone over her dinner. |
| 52 | * PsychoPink: Downplayed. They have pink skin just like Pim does, and are all highly unpleasant individuals, with the exception of Graham, who's a lot more polite and on good terms with Pim. Amy's boyfriend is a straight up aversion, due to having a natural skintone as well as being implied to be a very pleasant person, if his tolerance of the constant racket in Pim's family home and good manners when apologizing are any indication. |
| 53 | * SharedFamilyQuirks: Pim, his dad, and his sister have all demonstrated a willingness to give random, pecking kisses to people with no warning. It's implied that his dad regularly kissed his children on the mouth. |
| 54 | * TheShortGuyWithGlasses: The kid drawing a Cool S on the wall. |
| 55 | * ShoutOut: Steven (Pim's father) dresses like a cross between [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill Hank Hill]] and [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]] in Pim's flashback in "Enchanted Forest", having a hairstyle and glasses that invoke the former while wearing a shirt and pants that are similar to the latters. In the present day he resembles Homer Simpson. |
| 56 | * SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Steven wore glasses in a time back when Pim was bespectacled kid and he gave his son reasonable advice on fantasy quests. |
| 57 | * SmarterThanYouLook: Amy seems to be surprisingly well-spoken and eloquent in spite of her ValleyGirl appearance and voice, as she tells her brother Pim "I have no love for you in any shape or form." when insulting him. |
| 58 | * SmokingIsNotCool: Pim's dad, Steven, is sitting with a cigarette in his right hand. |
| 59 | * StressVomit: Implied, despite how big and chill Amy's boyfriend appears he suddenly vomits, likely from the chaos in his girlfriend's household. |
| 60 | * TheStoic: Amy's boyfriend doesn't say anything until he vomits over his plate and profusely apologizes, insisting that ''he'' ruined the family dinner. |
| 61 | * TookALevelInJerkass: Pim's dad, Steven. In a flashback it's shown that he was a more decent person aside from his bizarre Creator/TomBrady-style habit of kissing his kids on the mouth, as his response to Pim telling him he wants to go on an adventure in the enchanted forest is to encourage him that he needs to be a hero with unrelenting dedication, bravery, and wisdom, which is jarring compared to the present version of himself, where he's an overstressed, constantly angry schlub who hates his wife as much as she hates him. |
| 62 | * TooManyBabies: Pim's parents appear to have had somewhere between four to six children. |
| 63 | * ValleyGirl: Amy is a generic example of the StockParody. |
| 64 | * VocalDissonance: Amy's boyfriend has a soft and gentle voice, unfitting of his huge muscular build and impressive height. |
| 65 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Pim's mother has at least three young children, so she can't be much older than her early fifties. In spite of this she's got excessive wrinkles on her face, neck and arms, likely a result of the stress of raising too many kids in a loveless marriage. |

| 74 | ---- |
| 75 | * BasementDweller: Not even in the basement, he just loiters in the oddly spacious walls. |
| 76 | * EmbarrassingBrowserHistory: Frantically tries to close his browser window and then physically moves to cover his computer screen with his hands once Alan tries to get his attention. |
| 77 | * {{Jerkass}}: He's pretty damn rude when it comes to his privacy, which is made worse given he's a huge hypocrite. |

| 87 | A 3D model of a dancing alien humanoid, and the entire focus of a television program watched by Pim and his father. |
| 88 | ---- |
| 89 | |
| 90 | * AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: His MotorMouth turns "Hello, thank you for watching!" into "HEL-LO thankyouforwatching!" |
| 91 | * BlackBeadEyes: It appears to be entirely pupils, but as Chris O'Neill shows in [[https://twitter.com/OneyNG/status/1245254027350163456 this tweet]], that's not the case. |
| 92 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: [[spoiler:Physically breaks through its fourth wall to verbally break the show's by thanking the viewer.]] |
| 93 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Looks creepy, but is clearly a well-liked entertainer and even thanks the viewing public at the end of his episode (though Charlie and Alan are still very creeped out by his appearance). |
| 94 | * IncrediblyLameFun: It's just a dancing alien, which somehow has its own show. Pim even remarks that the spin it did when Charlie wasn't looking as being "cool" which was the entire reason why he was showing it to Charlie. |
| 95 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Dances to electronic music. |
| 96 | * MotorMouth: When he speaks at the end of the pilot, he repeatedly states five words in the space of two seconds. |
| 97 | * RunningGag: Shows up three times throughout the cartoon, paying off with its [[RuleOfThree third appearance]]. |
| 98 | * SuddenlySpeaking: Is largely TheUnintelligible until just before the credits. [[ThankingTheViewer "hello thank you for watching :-)"]] |
| 99 | * TelevisionPortal: [[spoiler:It erupts from the break room's TV, sending a shower of broken glass across the floor and horrifying everyone.]] |

| 109 | ---- |
| 110 | * ArtShift: He is animated using rotoscoping. |
| 111 | * BerserkButton: Whatever you do, don't wear blackface around him, or he'll kill you. |
| 112 | * EveryoneHasStandards: He's a huge dick to Pim for no reason, but he takes issue with someone crashing his Halloween party while wearing blackface (or so he thinks). |
| 113 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He makes fun of Pim for looking old and ugly, while he himself looks like a humanized version of [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Watto]]. |
| 114 | * LifeOfTheParty: He's called Party Bro for a reason. |
| 115 | * {{Jerkass}}: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]]. He bullies Pim in the pilot, but afterwards he appears to have become an acquaintance to the Smiling Friends, implying that he is on better terms with him. |

| 126 | * TheGenericGuy: An ordinary looking white dude with a completely blank expression on his face, who nonetheless has an entire theme park devoted to himself. |
| 127 | * InexplicablyAwesome: For some reason he made a theme park all about himself despite seemingly being an average human. |
| 128 | * RidiculouslyAverageGuy: He's so completely unremarkable, that paradoxically the only thing remarkable about him is how unremarkable he is. Nevertheless, he somehow has his own theme park named and themed after himself. |
| 129 | * RuleOfFunny: The entire reason for his existence, given that he's a completely unremarkable human who has an entire theme park themed after and devoted to himself. |
| 130 | * NiceGuy: Implied. Given that he takes his time out of running his theme park to show up to [[spoiler:Charlie's funeral]] in person in spite of having no apparent reason to do so outside of being company. |
| 131 | * SpecialPersonNormalName: Parodied. Pim outright admits that he doesn't know who Dave is when Desmond questions him on the identity of the latter, despite being a regular at Daveland. |

| 143 | * ButtMonkey: He plays one on The Mr. Frog Show, being eaten by the titular Mr. Frog in every episode. Subverted in real life, where he doesn't seem bothered by it and treats it as an acting gig. (Even getting along with Mr. Frog on a coworker basis) |
| 144 | * {{Corpsing}}: InUniverse, he noticeably cracks a smile when Glep does his spit routine during rehearsal. |

| 146 | * EatenAlive: Happens to him in every episode of ''The Mr. Frog Show.'' |

| 159 | ---- |
| 160 | * ADogNamedCat: A beautiful human woman named "Shrimpina". [[spoiler:Except no, her name is Jennifer, and as Charlie points out, the fact that she isn't a shrimp should have been Pim's first clue that he was talking to the wrong girl.]] |
| 161 | * MistakenIdentity: [[spoiler:She isn't Shrimpina, her name is Jennifer, and she has never met Shrimp in her life. Pim went to the wrong place.]] |
| 162 | * TheMourningAfter: She mentions trying to move on from her last boyfriend when Pim meets her. [[spoiler:Pim thinks she's talking about breaking up with Shrimp, but she was actually talking about recovering from her previous boyfriend Jason dying in a motorcycle accident several months before.]] |
| 163 | * NiceGirl: She really is a sweetheart, enough so that Pim falls for her immediately (and [[ImagineSpot dreams of starting a relationship and building a romantic life with her complete with kids]]), and even when Pim introduces her to Shrimp and [[BitchInSheepsClothing it looks like she's getting annoyed by the misunderstanding and insulting Shrimp over his unattractiveness and gamer lifestyle]], she actually reveals he's her ideal man and they immediately start making-out. |
| 164 | * NonIndicativeName: Her name is "Shrimpina" but she's a human woman. [[spoiler:It's actually a subversion, as it later turns out that her name is actually Jennifer and Pim had gone to the wrong place looking for the real Shrimpina]]. This is lampshaded when [[spoiler:Charlie asks Pim how he could have possibly thought ''she'' was Shrimpina, and Pim replies that he just assumed it was a standard BaitAndSwitch gag.]]. |

| 167 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Even compared to other human characters that aren't live-action actors, she has more realistic features that resemble stock vector art. |
| 168 | * OohMeAccentsSlipping: Loses her southern accent halfway through the episode without explanation. |
| 169 | * ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler:Wasn't actually Shrimpy's ex, she was completely unrelated to Shrimpy's story. Pim really needs to get his eyes checked. Subverted in that they do get together.]] |
| 170 | * SouthernBelle: She's pretty and has a southern accent ([[OohMeAccentsSlipping sometimes]]). |
| 171 | * StrangelyArousing: [[spoiler:Apparently, a 4'6" shrimp with a receding hairline and likes playing ''Mouse Quest'' is literally everything she has ever dreamed about.]] |
| 172 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Loves spaghetti, specially from Spaghetti Disco. |
| 173 | * UglyGuyHotWife: Was this to Shrimp, as she turns out to be a very attractive human woman, despite the former not only being a talking shrimp, but an overweight, partially-bald, geeky one at that.

| 181 | ->'''Played by:''' Perry Caravello |
| 182 | The CEO of Salty's. Was just killed. |
| 183 | ---- |
| 184 | * AssholeVictim: He's not a nice or empathetic guy, given that he doesn't care at all about the 15 people his restaurants menu has killed, and makes fun of the FDA for declaring his food a public health hazard. [[spoiler:The victim part is subverted when it turns out that none of the mascots killed him and he wound up dying of a heart attack from eating what is presumably one of his own restaurants burgers.]] |
| 185 | * AlliterativeName: '''S'''imon '''S'''. '''S'''alty. |
| 186 | * BadBoss: One could think how good of a person was he to his workers to instigate murder. [[spoiler:PlayedWith. While he himself dies of a heart attack, every single one of the mascots still attempted to kill him while he's dead, for reasons such as....being not allowed to kiss while at work...? There's also him chaining Century Egg up in a hidden room in his restaurant just because the menu item corresponding to him didn't sell very well.]] |
| 187 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Downplayed. He doesn't give a damn that his food has killed 15 people and makes fun of the FDA for declaring it a public health hazard, but is clearly afraid enough of legal action to change it to a healthier menu. |
| 188 | * GreasySpoon: His restaurant puts extra emphasis on greasy. |
| 189 | * HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:Was planning to start eating healthy, but ends up dying of a heart attack when eating what was supposed to be his last burger.]] |
| 190 | * HollywoodHeartAttack: [[spoiler:He died from a fatal heart attack after taking one bite of a burger before eating healthy.]] |
| 191 | * KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Subverted. At first it seems that with his death and his mascots running amok in the world of Smiling Friends, it seems that he's gotten his posthumous retribution for his restaurant's menu items killing over 15 people over the course of 4 months, but "Charlie Dies and Doesn't Come Back" reveals that not only is his restaurant somehow back in business, but it also returned to its iconic dangerously-unhealthy-yet-delicious menu.]] |
| 192 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:It's revealed that he died from a heart attack after eating what is presumably one of his own burgers, after mocking the FDA for taking action against his restaurant due to his burgers causing fifteen deaths over the course of four months.]] |
| 193 | * LackOfEmpathy: PlayedWith. He doesn't care at all for the fact that his restaurants menu has killed 15 people over the course of 4 months, and even makes fun of the FDA for declaring his food a public health hazard, but changes the menu to unappetizing, but healthy food anyways, likely because of threats of legal action. |
| 194 | * MysteriousMiddleInitial: What the "S" stands for is never mentioned. |
| 195 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: He stands out among even among the other characters that this trope applies to by the virtue of being played by a live-action actor superimposed into a 2D Cartoon world. |
| 196 | * NutritionalNightmare: The food he normally serves has been deemed hazardous by the FDA, and linked to fifteen deaths over the course of four months. This forced him to completely revamp the menu with items that are healthier, but completely unappetizing, which pisses Charlie off. |
| 197 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Was apparently 77 when he died according to the InMemoriam gag, 18 years older than his actor. |
| 198 | * PlotTriggeringDeath: Charlie, Pim, and Ketchup find him dead on the couch in his office, and the Boss of the Smiling Friends orders them to solve his death. |
| 199 | * RogerRabbitEffect: As seen in most animated series, he is a live-action character mixed in with the cartoon world. |
| 200 | * StylisticSuck: The body language of his actor, Perry Caravello, is deliberately as unnatural and unconvincing as possible [[RuleOfFunny for comedic]] [[PlayedForLaughs effect]]. An example of this is him sticking out his arm when Ketchup shoves him to brace his fall and moving at a slow enough speed to not accidentally injure himself in an incredibly obvious fashion. |

| 222 | An aspiring [=SoundCloud=] rapper living in the streets. Like many others, his dreams were squandered by the Frowning Friends. |
| 223 | ---- |
| 224 | * AmbiguouslyChristian: He wears a cross necklace, though he doesn't seem to be living out any Christian virtue. |
| 225 | * AtrociousAlias: His rapper nickname is....not very appealing sounding. |
| 226 | * BackForTheDead: DJ Spit returns in Season 2 to steal Alan's box of paperclips for some reason. [[spoiler: He escapes in a helicopter only to be shot down by fighter jets and get ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice.]] |
| 227 | * CheatedAngle: He's always shown in profile because, as the album cover of his song on [=SoundCloud=] shows, he's not very appealing from the front. [[{{Gonk}} Well]], ''[[{{Gonk}} less]]'' [[{{Gonk}} appealing]]. |
| 228 | * DreadfulMusician: His rap song is just him mumbling off-beat into a bad microphone. |
| 229 | * FingerlessHands: His hands are normally just fingerless nubs, except in some instances where he suddenly has fingers, like when pulling out his phone to play his music, which is outright [[{{Rotoscoping}} rotoscoped]]. |
| 230 | * FunnyForeigner: He's a ''very'' stereotypical "Latino {{Gangbanger}}" character, with a thick Spanish accent and a HairTriggerTemper who ends up [[AxCrazy pulling a gun]] on Pim and Charlie for confusing him. |
| 231 | * HiddenDepths: "An Allan Adventure" reveals he's able to pilot a helicopter, even while being pursued by Air Force fighter jets. |
| 232 | * MadnessMantra: After he "catches on" to the Smiling Friends (really the Frowning Friends) meeting him earlier only to tell him to quit making music, he pulls out a gun and screams "GET OUT OF ME HEAD, MAN!" |
| 233 | * MoodSwinger: He starts off reasonably enough, as he starts talking to Pim and Charlie in a relatively calm manner, and even showing them his (admittedly quite awful) rap on Soundcloud. [[DisproportionateRetribution However, when he gets Pim and Charlie confused for the Frowning Friends and is convinced that they previously insulted him, he pulls out a gun and starts threatening them with it, wildly accusing them of emotional manipulation.]] |
| 234 | * MythologyGag: His voice seems to be based off the voice Zach used for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8squpC1QbpM "Lil' Sleepy"]], a rapper who exists in a [[MeaningfulName perpetual state of being tired]] that he made up as part of a gag in WebVideo/OneyPlays. |
| 235 | * PissTakeRap: His song "[=$piTz PaRadise=]" has him muttering incoherently over a bizarrely-constructed beat, adding a "wehehe" at the end. |
| 236 | * ShoutOut: If you listen closely to the song he shows to Pim and Charlie, you can hear a "wehehe" before he puts his phone away. This is a reference to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0N__qTTnMQ Loud Junk]], a ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' parody that was one of the several topics brought up on WebVideo/OneyPlays. |
| 237 | * SuddenAnatomy: He normally doesn't have any fingers, but when pulling out his phone, he suddenly has realistic, rotoscoped human hands. He also grows fingers for a split second when scratching himself. |
| 238 | * TakeThat: Towards [=SoundCloud=] rappers. His idea of rapping consists of mumbling incoherently over a poorly constructed song and he comes across as a pathetic and laughable character trying to seem cool. |
| 239 | * UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:The last we see of him in "A Allan Adventure", he's impaled on a piece of helicopter debris and saying "Siri, call the hospital, man, [[ImColdSoCold it's getting colder.]]" That we never see him again, alive or otherwise, and Mr. Landlord's claims that ''everyone'' in the scheme was a paid actor, puts his ultimate fate in uncertainty.]] |
| 240 | * VerbalTic: "Man." |

| 250 | ---- |
| 251 | * DeadpanSnarker: Delivered in Lyle's iconic monotone, save for his brief breakdown. |
| 252 | * TheGrotesque: Implied, as the shape of his head was what the Frowning Friends focused on to keep him frowning. |
| 253 | * HulkingOut: A '''''[[MindScrew REALLY]]''''' bizarre example. When he freaks out and starts panicking when he thinks the Smiling Friends are messing with him, his head morphs into that of DJ Spit's. |
| 254 | * MadnessMantra: Much like DJ Spit, demands the Smiling Friends to get out of his head as he thinks they're deceiving him. Taken to the extreme with his head and voice ''morphing'' into DJ Spit's as it gets worse. |
| 255 | * MindScrew: When he gets angry at Pim and Charlie, his head suddenly morphs into that of DJ Spit of all people, he repeats DJ Spit's MadnessMantra, and he even pulls out a gun and threatens them in a similar manner. ''Why'' exactly is anyone's guess, as both characters' have wildly different personalities and interests (Mr. Man wants to eliminate Puerto Ricans while DJ Spit is himself Hispanic) and it is confirmed that they can't be the same person, as we see both of them in the crowd of the Frowning Friends' event, which means a JekyllAndHyde dynamic isn't really possible. RuleOfFunny is most certainly in play here. |
| 256 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Outright admits that he ''wanted'' to kill the Puerto Ricans as well after the Frowning Friends are revealed to be hypocrites. |

Boo-hoo!" when [[spoiler:Grim breaks down crying out of fear for his life when the Boss aims an assault rifle at him, exposing him as a hypocrite directly after he makes a large speech about nihilism and misery in front of a huge crowd that he was in]] is any indication. |
| 268 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Boo-hoo!" |
| 269 | * DubNameChange: He's named Bébé 3D in the French dub. |
| 270 | * TheEeyore: Sits and shouts "boo hoo" whenever things go pear-shaped. |
| 271 | * {{Gonk}}: ''Hoo boy...'' The design team really pounced on the chance to use a 3D model to make him look ''awful''. |
| 272 | * MeaningfulName: 3D Squelton is indeed 3D. |
| 273 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Rendered in 3D with very few frames of animation. |
| 274 | * ThirdPersonPerson: You're gonna remember his name. It's 3D Squelton. |
| 275 | * VagueAge: Pim calls him "little guy" and he's first seen moping in a sandbox at a playground, plus his habit of referring to himself in third person is quite childish, as well as his interest in balloons, yet at the same time, his rant about the state of the world is quite eloquent and well-spoken, not to mention that no ordinary child would have such a pessimistic view of the world as he does, plus, he has an elderly looking appearance due to his wrinkly face. |

| 282 | ---- |
| 283 | * ArtShift: One of them appears to be rotoscoped. |
| 284 | * AssholeVictim: Narrowly averted. They [[spoiler: kill Grim and Gnarly]] ''seconds'' after they make their HeelFaceTurn. |
| 285 | * AxCrazy: Considering that they [[spoiler:open fire on Grim and Gnarly with a hail of arrows, killing them instantly, without any motive or reason to do so]], it's safe to say that they are a bunch of violent thugs. |
| 286 | * BrickJoke: Charlie mentions at the start of the episode that the Renaissance Men are coming to town and says that "it's probably important". Lo and behold, at the end of the episode [[spoiler:they ''do'' come to town and murder Grim and Gnarly.]] |
| 287 | * DiabolusExNihilo: Ironically, they are this to yet another Diabolus ex Nihilo. |
| 288 | * NonIndicativeName: Lampshaded by Pim. Despite being known as "the Renaissance Men", he points out that [[ArtisticLicenseHistory they look more like they're from the High Middle Ages than from the Renaissance]]. |
| 289 | -->'''Pim:''' That's like a completely different era! |
| 290 | * TheSpook: PlayedForLaughs. They are ''Medieval'' knights known as the "Renaissance Men" who randomly come to town and [[spoiler:kill Grim and Gnarly]] without any seeable motive or cause. Charlie claims that "The Renaissance Men are coming to town" is the extent of his knowledge when Pim points out the absurdity of the whole thing. |

| 295 | The Boss's hallucinatory advisors, consisting of Warren Buffet, Mr. Peanut, and Ronald Reagan. |
| 296 | ---- |
| 297 | * TheCastShowOff: The reason for one of them being Ronald Reagan is likely so Zach can show off his Reagan impression. |
| 298 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Mr. Peanut got in hot water with the American public for filling his peanuts with ''toxic pesticides'' and decided the best way to apologize was by going on the Dick Cavett show to do a "peanut jig." |
| 299 | * {{Hallucinations}}: Revealed to be so when Alan calls out his name. |
| 300 | * HelpfulHallucination: Subverted, as they represent Boss struggling to find a non-violent way to compete with the Frowning Friends. Their advice consists of feeble marketing stunts, vague restructuring suggestions, and a flailing push to have the Boss buy more stocks of his failing business. |
| 301 | * OnlySaneMan: Downplayed. Ronald Reagan is the only one whose advice comes even close to being helpful, and even then, it's too vague to be of any actual help, as he quite literally suggests that he "try a more competetive business model" without explaining how to properly do so. |
| 302 | * ShoutOut: Although the basic concept of Mr. Peanut is based on the Planter's Peanuts mascot of the same name, his skin tone, nose, voice, posture, and utter disregard for customers' well-being all clearly resemble [[Characters/TheSimpsonsCharlesMontgomeryBurns Mr. Burns]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. |
| 303 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Mr. Peanut is the most blatantly corrupt of the three, having filled his products with toxic pesticides, and presumably getting away with it by distracting the public with his "peanut jig." |

| 309 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Michael Cusack |
| 310 | Charlie's only form of hellish entertainment when he is sent to Hell. |
| 311 | ---- |
| 312 | * AnimationBump: Gets suddenly smoothly animated when Charlie does punch him for getting in his way. |
| 313 | * BrickJoke: Charlie threatens to punch him if he "entertains" him again, and sure enough, he pops out of nowhere to "entertain" Charlie halfway through the episode, causing the latter to follow through with his threat to punch Jeremy. He also appears yet again to pay Charlie back for punching him earlier by clocking him in the face. |
| 314 | * TheDogBitesBack: Returns Charlie punching him back when Satan puts him through proper torture. |
| 315 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He comforts the imp who introduces Charlie to hell when the latter makes him cry while glaring angrily at the newly arrived critter, and overall seems to be on good terms with him. |
| 316 | * LimitedAnimation: He's animated in an extremely fast fashion with only two frames of animation for him "entertaining" Charlie, aside from him flailing his tounge. Subverted when he gets punched by Charlie, as he suddenly becomes both smoothly and realistically animated, as he slumps to his knees while trying to hold himself up with a hand. |
| 317 | * IncrediblyLameFun: He's supposed to entertain Charlie by repeatedly flailing his hands in his face while making rapid, high-pitched babbling noises which Charlie reasonably treats as being more annoying than anything. The nature of the "entertainment" he provides ''is'' somewhat [[JustifiedTrope justifiable]], considering that he's an inhabitant of Hell and presumably meant to torment Charlie instead of providing him with any actual fun. |
| 318 | * PokeThePoodle: For Hell standards, having a demon just flailing his arms in front of your face while yelling is more petty than anything. |
| 319 | * RuleOfThree: He makes a total of three appearances in "Charlie Dies and Doesn't Come Back", the first one when he's introduced to Charlie by the imp, the second to appear out of nowhere to "entertain" Charlie and getting punched by him for his troubles, and then making his third and final appearance to punch Charlie as payback. |
| 320 | * TheSpeechless: He never says a word, and only makes a rapid, high-pitched babbling noise, as well as groaning in pain when Charlie punches him. |
| 321 | * SuddenAnatomy: He gains another finger when he returns to punch Charlie as payback for getting punched by him before. |
| 322 | * TooDumbToLive: Downplayed. He continues to "entertain" Charlie yet again despite Charlie warning him that he's gonna punch him if he does it again, and winds up getting punched for his troubles, indicating he isn't particularly intelligent. |
| 323 | * TormentByAnnoyance: All he does is annoy Charlie. |

| 330 | ---- |
| 331 | * CoolOldLady: From what little we see of her, she seems to be one. She seems to have a good relationship with Charlie and she is the one who helps him find Satan. |
| 332 | * EasyRoadToHell: If her reason for being in Hell is commonplace, there's not going to be a lot of people in Heaven. |
| 333 | -->'''Charlie:''' Grandma? What are you doing here?\ |
| 334 | '''Grandma:''' Oh, I cursed and said '''DAMN''' in 1958 when I saw your grandfather getting shot in the head by that '''ROTTEN''' burglar.\ |
| 335 | '''Charlie:''' [[LampshadeHanging That seems a little bit unreasonable, I don't think you should be in Hell for that.]] |
| 336 | * GagNose: With her long nose and wrinkly face, she looks like a worm. |
| 337 | * JabbaTableManners: The way she eats the lollipop she offered defies any description other than "aggressive fellating". Even Charlie can only back away slowly. |
| 338 | * LargeHam: To say that she talks in a dramatic and over the top fashion would be an understatement. |
| 339 | * LoonWithAHeartOfGold: She's certainly a space case, but she has an incredibly sweet personality, given that she's overjoyed to see Charlie and immediately helps her grandson out when he asks her for directions. |
| 340 | * MythologyGag: Elements of her appearance, such as her GagNose and her milky eyes, as well as her habit of doing an occassional WildTake with her eyes as she speaks, are similar to the titular character from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke-6WW-xGic "Father's Jewel"]], an animated short made by Zach before he made Smiling Friends. |

| 358 | * HeroicBuild: He's built like a Greek god and swiftly rescues Charlie from Hell after he learns his lesson while praising him for doing so on the way out. |
| 359 | * LargeHam: Take Gilbert Gottfried's usual hamminess and cast him in the role of God, and this is what you get. |
| 360 | * LightIsGood: His head is obscured by a blinding globe of light and He also dresses in a gold colored toga, and is overall shown to be a benevolent and fair god, rescuing Charlie merely seconds after He deems the critter has learned his lesson as he's being tortured by Satan, and also resurrects him as well. |
| 361 | * NiceGuy: Saves and resurrects Charlie, and overall comes across as being pretty friendly in the short amount of time He does so. |
| 362 | * VocalDissonance: Gilbert Gottfried's infamous voice coming out of God would already count, but as if that wasn't enough it's also coming out of a version of God who's absolutely ''ripped''. |

| 369 | A man encountered by the Smiling Friends at the airport on their vacation to Brazil. ''Really'' interested in whether or not they're tourists for some reason. |
| 370 | ---- |
| 371 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: While he doesn't do or say anything overtly threatening, there's something decidedly ''off'' about him that unnerves the Smiling Friends, mainly his rather creepy interest in whether or not that the Smiling Friends are tourists. Charlie in particular flinches when the man points at him because he thinks the man is going to hit him or pull out a weapon. |
| 372 | * AmbiguousSituation: It's unknown whether or not he's some sort of gangster in a scheme to rob tourists of their money, a lone wolf con-man, or simply in dire need of cash and coming across as being socially awkward and creepy. |
| 373 | * ConMan: Seems to be a very poor one. His idea of a con appears to be awkwardly approaching people and asking them for cash. |
| 374 | * FunnyForeigner: Downplayed. He isn't an outwardly comedic character, but he's still a source of comedy due to the extreme awkwardness of his interaction between the Smiling Friends. |
| 375 | * GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: Does this repeatedly when speaking to Charlie. |
| 376 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Doesn't think twice about invading people's personal space by repeatedly pointing in their faces. |
| 377 | * ShoutOut: His fixation on the Smiling Friends giving him cash might be a reference towards an old webcomic that made fun of [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/135/593/brfw0.png annoying Brazilian players on online games]], especially ones that go on servers for other regions. |

| 385 | ---- |
| 386 | * AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: In his boss fight in ''Gwimbly'', Count Groxia appears to only wear a cape, gloves and boots. Averted in the modern day, where he's dressed like a typical white-collar worker. |
| 387 | * ActuallyPrettyFunny: Gwimbly asks him if he remembers when he "kicked his ass" in the games. Groxia looks away and chuckles, saying he remembers. |
| 388 | * AnimatedActors: Like Gwimbly, he's a video game character who lives in the real world, and has since moved on and gotten a normal job. |
| 389 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: His stomach is completely green while the rest of his body is purple, and Gwimbly punches it during his boss fight, which ends up dealing damage. |
| 390 | * CartoonCreature: Like Gwimbly, it's not clear what he is. |
| 391 | * CompositeCharacter: Of [[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie Gruntilda Winkybunion]] and [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry King K. Rool]]. The tower-like arena he's seen fighting Gwimbly and Mr. Millipede in resembles an arena straight out of the final boss fight of a Banjo-Kazooie game, while he has the [[StoutStrength build]] [[FatBastard that]] makes him more in line with King K. Rool. |
| 392 | * FatBastard: Count Groxia is the main villain of the ''Gwimbly'' games who is also rotund and heavy enough that he has a ShockwaveStomp attack. Of course, that's just his character in the games. |
| 393 | * MeanCharacterNiceActor: He might have played the villain the ''Gwimbly'' games, but he's a perfectly normal guy in real life with a wife and children. Even though he rejects the offer to be in the next ''Gwimbly'' game, he's polite about it, and at least considers letting Gwimbly crash on his couch before his wife shoots down the idea. He also has a son and daughter that he dotes on. |
| 394 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Like Gwimbly, he's animated as a low-poly 3D character from a 90's platformer. |
| 395 | * ShockwaveStomp: He did this in his boss fight. Gwimbly would avoid it by grabbing onto Mr. Millipede. |

| 405 | * FunnyAnimal: Unlike Gwimbly and Count Groxia, whose species are both [[CartoonCreature hard to decipher]], Mr. Millipede was an anthropomorphic [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin millipede]]. |

| 414 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: According to William Worm, Miggly shot himself with a 3D printed shotgun shortly before the debate. |
| 415 | * OnlySaneMan: He claims to be the only one speaking any sense in the race. Given that the other candidates are [[LethallyStupid President Jimble]] and [[AxCrazy Mr. Frog]], he might be correct. |

| 423 | |
| 424 | ---- |
| 425 | * ZeroPercentApprovalRating: He's universally considered to be a war criminal dictator, which causes problems when [[TheDitz President Jimble]], who is completely unaware of that, calls him an "eternal ally" instead of condemning him during a diplomatic meeting. |
| 426 | * BewareTheQuietOnes: He never speaks a word throughout "Mr. President", and is a dictator and war criminal. |
| 427 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: He's a smiling, goofy-looking man with a silly name who is also an infamous genocidal dictator. Jimble's endorsement of him emboldens him to carry out even more war crimes. |
| 428 | * FatBastard: He's noticeably overweight and is a genocidal dictator. |
| 429 | * FauxAffablyEvil: His on-screen appearance had him just stand there smiling as he shakes President Jimble's hand. Pim and Charlie then tell President Jimble about how evil he is which he proves in the next scene when he has an innocent village senselessly slaughtered. |
| 430 | * TheGeneralissimo: He's the ruthless genocidal dictator of the presumably Central Asian (due to the -stan suffix) nation of Blingostan. |
| 431 | * KickTheDog: After being praised by President Jimble, Mr. Blingo decides to massacre a peasant village just for the hell of it. [[FreezeFrameBonus If you look closely]], a literal dog in said village even gets literally kicked by one soldier...though that's more of a PokeThePoodle moment compared to all the murder and destruction. |
| 432 | * TakeThat: He's a parody of the various despotic rulers that the US government has had friendly relations with throughout history. |
| 433 | * TheVoiceless: He's completely silent throughout his brief appearance. |

Based on what his boss says about sending Armzo back to the psych ward if he doesn't calm down, it's likely that this is a reoccurring issue with him. |
| 441 | * {{Jerkass}}: Given how he warns Allan that "bad shit's gonna happen" if he keeps bothering him, it's clear that he isn't exactly the nicest critter around. |
| 442 | * LaserGuidedKarma: He gets chewed out by his boss after threatening and arguing with Allan, and Allan gets the last laugh as Armzo messes up his can-stacking and he ends up buried in cans. |
| 443 | * MultiarmedMultitasking: Uses his six arms to stack numerous cans on store shelves. |
| 444 | * NonstandardCharacterDesign: He's the only character so far that has more than one set of arms (he has 3 pairs). |

| 450 | ---- |
| 451 | * AmbiguouslyEvil :He lives in Crimeville but doesn't really do anything malicious to Allan and it's kept ambiguous on how he got the last paperclips. It's even more ambiguous [[spoiler:when he goes to Hell after his death, but then again if Charlie grandma got sent to hell for saying Damn, [[EasyRoadToHell it's very possible that his reason for going to Hell was very minor]]]]. |
| 452 | * BaitAndSwitch: |
| 453 | ** The shape of the paperclips in his possession making for a perfect tool and how he makes it clear that he's using them to tinker with his electronics, it turns out that he was using their unusual shape to turn on the devices in his possession instead of say, using it to fiddle with their insides and as actual tools instead. |
| 454 | ** [[spoiler: When Allan is being forced to hangout with his Landlord, Plilford appears as a FloatingAdviceReminder to remind Allan that the paperclips are perfect for tinkering with electronics so he can disarm the Landlord's bomb. Plilford then reveals that he isn't actually a flashback, but rather a ghost as he died shortly after Allan left his store. He then gets dragged back to Hell.]] |
| 455 | * CoolOldGuy: He gives Alan the box of paperclips for free as thanks for helping him realise he can use his nose to tinker with electronics more effectively and [[spoiler: he briefly escapes from Hell so he can remind Allan of how he can use the paperclips to disarm his Landlord's bomb.]] |
| 456 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:When a vision of Plilford appears to remind Allan how the paper clips could be useful against the Landlord, he clarifies that he's not a hallucination or anything and that he's actually the real Plilford, as soon as Allan left he died and went to Hell, his soul escaping just to give him some advice before being dragged back down by demons.]] |
| 457 | * GagNose: Sports an elongated, crooked nose that closely resembles the paperclips he used to tinker with the electronics in his shop. When Allan told him he can just use said nose, he gave it a whirl and became surprised and delighted that it made the electronics function better than he could with the paperclips. |
| 458 | * YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler:He dies just after learning how to get his business booming]]. |
