| 9 | ---- |
| 10 | * AlliterativeName: '''B'''arbara '''B'''eard. |
| 11 | * AllThereInTheManual: Their names and professions were revealed by none other than [[WordOfGod Dav Pilkey]]. |
| 12 | * FarmGirl: Barbara admits to having grown up on a farm when she was a girl. According to her husband, it's a topic that's frequently brought up. |
| 13 | * KickTheDog: In Book 12, [[spoiler:after being turned into mindless, obedient children by [[FinalBoss Mr. Meaner]], Moses and Barbara openly state how they ''approve'' of their son and friend's complete personality change compared to how they normally behave. What they didn't know was that an alternate version of George and Harold were in the other room and heard ''all of it'']]. |
| 14 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 15 | ** Barbara shares the same first name as Dav Pilkey's own mother, who had always encouraged his writing and artwork from childhood. |
| 16 | ** It's possible that Moses was named after Moses Horowitz, or as you all know him as [[Film/TheThreeStooges Moe Howard]]. |
| 17 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Moses has a minor role in the story, but it's thanks to his craftsmanship that he created the headquarters for Treehouse Comix Inc. |
| 18 | * TheScrooge: Moses shows shades of this in the Halloween special as he isn't interested in spending. |
| 19 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: Moses looks a lot like George only chubbier and with a mustache. |
| 20 | * WhenIWasYourAge: Moses states this trope when describing what his summer camp was like as a kid. |

| 27 | Harold's mom who works as a real estate agent and has an interest in drawing just like her son. |
| 28 | ---- |
| 29 | * AllThereInTheManual: Just like with the Beards, [[WordOfGod Dav Pilkey]] revealed her name and profession on social media. |
| 30 | * TheDitz: She often gets carried away with things that she doesn't notice important details. The biggest example is how [[spoiler:she didn't notice George and Harold's miserable faces compared to Krupp's noticeably wicked grin alongside them. It's especially jarring since she was ''painting those expressions'' for her portrait]]. |
| 31 | * GlamorousSingleMother: It's established in Book 9 that Harold's father left them when he was in kindergarten but Grace has been able to adjust quite nicely without him. |
| 32 | * KickTheDog: In Book 12, [[spoiler:after being turned into mindless, obedient children by [[FinalBoss Mr. Meaner]], Grace openly states how she ''enjoys'' her son and friend's complete personality change compared to how they normally behave. What she didn't know was that an alternate version of Harold alongside George was in the other room and heard ''all of it'']]. |
| 33 | * [[LikeParentLikeChild Like Mother Like Son]]: Just like her son, Grace is also a talented artist who is capable of creating portraits in only ''seconds''. |
| 34 | * ShipTease: With ''Mr. Meaner'' of all people in the HalloweenSpecial. |
| 35 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: She looks very similar to her son. |
| 36 | * VerbalTic: Similar to Dressy, she has a habit of repeating the last few words of a sentence, only she doesn't sing them. |

| 42 | Harold's little sister. |
| 43 | ---- |
| 44 | * AdaptedOut: This appears to be the case in the animated series, as she wasn't seen or mentioned once. |
| 45 | * AlliterativeName: '''H'''eidi '''H'''utchins. |
| 46 | * CanonImmigrant: {{Downplayed}}. She was first mentioned in the book series, however her ''name'' was first introduced in the spinoff ''Super Diaper Baby''. This name didn't appear in the series proper until book 8, which was published four years afterward. |
| 47 | * HereditaryHairstyle: Subverted. Her curly hairstyle is the same as her mom's, but the Full-Color version of the books shows that her hair is strawberry blonde as opposed to her mom and brother's blonde. |
| 48 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: She appears only twice in the entire book series, and doesn't have a single line of dialogue. But it's Harold switching Krupp's incriminating video of him and George pranking the school football game, with one of her "Boomer the Purple Dragon Sing-A-Long" videos in the first book, that results in Jerome Horwitz Elementary’s football team, the Knuckleheads, changing their name to the Purple Dragon Sing-A-Long Friends. |

| 58 | * BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Just when it looks like the boys are about to get pummeled by Captain Blunderpants, their grandparents arrive at the nick of time and reveal their new superpowers]]. |
| 59 | * CaneFu: Boxer Boy uses a cane while Great Granny Girdle uses a walker for combat. |
| 60 | * CoolOldGuy[=/=]CoolOldLady: Both of them are very loving towards George and Harold and are supportive of their talents as comic book creators. [[spoiler:They also manage to protect them by giving their evil counterparts an unforgettable smackdown]]. |

| 64 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: There's no mention of them or what became of their careers as the Arthritic Avengers after Book 8. |

| 91 | |
| 92 | [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin A little boy and his mom]] who often appear as minor characters in the books. Their main shtick is how the boy would tell his mom about the wild events happening in the plotline while his mom would brush it off as his wild imagination. |
| 93 | ---- |
| 94 | * AdaptedOut: They're one of the few {{Running Gag}}s of the book series who were never brought over to the movie or the show. |
| 95 | * AllThereInTheManual: According to [[https://www.scholastic.com/content/dam/scholastic/kids/pdf/PlanetPilkey/More%20Fun%20Stuff/RevisedPETT.pdf an old newsletter on the Scholastic website]], their names are Robby and Ethel Hoskins. |
| 96 | * TheBusCameBack: They initially stopped appearing after the first five books, when the story underwent CerebusSyndrome and became more serialized. It isn't until TheStinger of Book 9 that they reappear, with the boy explaining to Tippy the reason for the BadFuture; his mom ''still'' not believing him. |
| 97 | * CassandraTruth: In their early appearances, the mom simply brushes off her son's statements as pure nonsense. Then, the roles are switched when the boy won't believe the mom when she starts seeing things. [[spoiler:It isn't until Book 12, their last appearance, do they finally take notice of the bizarre event together. In that case, George and Harold's time traveling in a glowing squid suit.]] |
| 98 | * DeadpanSnarker: The boy makes some snarky remarks when the mom starts to notice the action. Most likely from how he had to go through therapy because of her. |
| 99 | * FlatCharacter: Neither the boy nor his mom has any significant character development. |
| 100 | * IconicItem: The mom is always shown wearing boots with stars on the sides. She even wears them when she's an old woman in the future. |
| 101 | * RunningGag: The boy would notice Captain Underpants or a villain of the week while the mom believes that it's part of his over-active imagination. |
| 102 | * SwappedRoles: It isn't until their fifth and last appearances do the roles switch where the mom starts to notice the bizarre events while her son dismisses them. |

| 110 | Melvin's father, and a professor who apparently works for the government alongside his wife. |
| 111 | ---- |
| 112 | * AdaptationDyeJob: In the "Full Color" versions of the books, his hair is dirty blond. In the animated series, it's the same shade of orange as his wife and son's. |
| 113 | * AdaptedOut / AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Despite appearing with his wife in Books 6 and 7, he hasn't been seen or mentioned once in the animated series yet. Eventually averted in season 3, where he makes an appearance alongside his wife. |
| 114 | * EmbarrassingFirstName: His name is ''Gaylord''. You can't really get more embarrassing than that. |
| 115 | * GladIThoughtOfIt: In Book 6, After Melvin's defeat as the Bionic Booger Boy, Mr. Sneedly mentions that it'll take a few months to create a machine to reverse the effects of the Combine-O-Tron 2000, the machine that turned Melvin into the Bionic Booger Boy in the first place. When George suggests switching around the Combine-O-Tron 2000's batteries, theorizing that it'll reverse the effects, he at first dismisses this idea as childish but decides to do it anyway to prove them wrong. When this actually ''does'' reverse the effects, he exclaims, "Well, what do you know? My idea worked!" George and Harold simply roll their eyes in annoyance. |
| 116 | * LikeFatherLikeSon: It’s obvious where Melvin gets his looks and arrogant attitude from. |
| 117 | * ParentsAsPeople: While his and his wife's work leave them far too busy to spend time with their son, they still do care about him. |
| 118 | * RedheadsAreUncool: In the animated series. His hair is just as red as his wife and son's, and he's just as nerdy. |
| 119 | * SkewedPriorities: In his animated debut, he's more interested in his son building a teleporter rather than hearing about anything else going on in his life. |

| 126 | Melvin's mother, who works alongside her husband in the books and is Melvin's main caregiver in the animated series. |
| 127 | ---- |
| 128 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: She shows this trait now and then. Her biggest example is her openly declaring herself to be her son's ''best friend''. |
| 129 | * AdaptationalPersonalityChange: In the manga series, Cindy was a serious, dedicated scientist who focused more on her science projects over her son (but she at least cared about him). In the cartoon, she has a more playful personality and is dedicated to tending to her son's needs no matter how much she spoils him. |
| 130 | * DotingParent: Despite how much of a brat her son can be, she clearly thinks the world of him. |
| 131 | * HandsOffParenting: In the animated series, she pretty much lets Melvin do whatever he wants, be it inventing or [[ItMakesSenseInContext taking over his school with his future self]]. |
| 132 | * ParentsAsPeople: In the books, her work with her husband leaves them both far too busy to spend time with Melvin, but they still do care about him. |
| 133 | * PushoverParents: In the animated series. The poor woman practically lets Melvin walk all over her. |
| 134 | * RedheadsAreUncool: Melvin most likely got his red hair from her, and she's clearly as nerdy as her son. |
| 135 | * UnnamedParent: She's only ever referred to as "Mommy" or "Mother" by Melvin, and "Mrs. Sneedly" or "Melvin's Mom" by everyone else in the books and animated series. It's only thanks to [[WordOfGod/CaptainUnderpants Dav Pilkey]] that we know her first name; Cindy. |
| 136 | * WackyParentSeriousChild: Only in the animated series. She's rather silly compared to Melvin, who [[LikeFatherLikeSon takes more after his father in terms of personality]]. |

| 145 | Mr. Krupp's mother who runs her own cattle farm. She's one of the reasons why Krupp is the monster he is today. |
| 146 | ---- |
| 147 | * AbusiveParents: One of the worst cases imaginable. She forbade her son from participating in his 4th-grade talent show even though he wanted to. When little Benny ran off and made a poor performance, she encourages all the attendees to throw fruits and vegetables at him, all of which ''she provided''. She even took ''pictures'' of the spectacle and has them ''framed in her living room''. Not to mention that she refers to him as a "major disappointment". In Season 3, Mr. Krupp even goes on to say that she never loved him, she just wanted him to do chores. |
| 148 | * AdaptationNameChange: On Instagram, [[WordOfGod Dav Pilkey]] claimed that her name was Grace. Her name was changed to Bernice in her debut, most likely [[OneSteveLimit to avoid confusing her with]] [[GlamorousSingleMother Grace Hutchins]] and [[BlackBossLady Grace Wain]]. |
| 149 | * AffablyEvil: Despite being an abusive monster, she's very polite when interacting with the boys. She even offers them free steak. |
| 150 | * TheAgeless: Her appearance from when she ruined her son's life is the same 30 years later. |
| 151 | * BeehiveHairdo: Her hairstyle looks like this. |
| 152 | * EarlyBirdCameo: She actually appeared an episode before her debut. Also, Miss Anthrope mentions in early episodes that she called Mr. Krupp during his work. |
| 153 | * FatBitch: She's fat like her son with a heart that's ''darker'' than his. |
| 154 | * HateSink: She's the primary reason why Krupp is such a ChildHater in the present. |
| 155 | * {{Jerkass}}: This goes without saying. |
| 156 | * NeverMyFault: She doesn't once own up to the fact that it was her lousy parenting that made Krupp the way he is. |
| 157 | * NoodleIncident: She has an ongoing rivalry with some mischievous cows that are somehow smart enough to open her front door multiple times. |
