Voiced by: Paul Scheer

The main antagonist of the show; is the head of Wholesome Foods and a rival to the Green Family. Started out as simple and laid-back, but turned against the Greens when he inadvertently ate their fake produce, chipping his tooth. His main goal is to run the Greens out of Big City for good, but his plans are always thwarted, with his tooth being chipped in return.

Early on in Season 2, he takes over as the CEO of Wholesome Foods, having tricked the Greens and his dad into believing he changed so he can come up with new schemes against them. This extends to almost replacing everything on their street with a megastore. As of the third half of the season, he is no longer allowed in Big City. By Season 4, it was revealed Chip survived the crash and was thought to have died, and is now secretly spying on the Greens in disguise while planning even bigger revenge on them and all of Big City under their feet.

---

• Adaptational Heroism: In the Chibi Tiny Tales short series, Chip shows no instances of villainy and instead acts as a typical neighbor for the Greens, often showing up as a last-minute participant to receive the final laugh for the short.
• Aimlessly Seeking Happiness: After his defeat in season 2, Chip shows that he wishes to simply find a way to be happy. Yet is unable to gain that, even when disguising himself as a normal person, and this goes into a dangerous direction as he realizes that the thing making him happy is his hatred for people and being evil.
• Amazing Technicolor Population: Chip has orange skin.
• Amusing Injuries: Chip takes tons of physical punishment during the series. This also gets deconstructed in "Chipwrecked", because due to this, Cricket and his family consider him a joke.
• Arch-Enemy: To the Green Family, particularly Cricket.
• Arc Villain: Of Seasons 2 and 4.
  • In Season 2, he seizes control of Wholesome Foods to kick the Greens out of the town, and nearly destroys their home lane, including their house, replacing it with a megastore.
  • In Season 4, he hides out in the sewers when thought to be dead, and plans even bigger revenge against the Greens and all those who supported them.
• Awesome, but Impractical: All of his revenge plans are cartoonishly over-the-top, but completely ineffective. Until “Chipwrecked”, when Cricket points out that his plans never work, and he changes his strategy to Boring, but Practical.
• Ax-Crazy: If trying to murder the entire Green Family with a helicopter counts. He was very close to becoming a murderer.
• Bad Boss: He regularly yells at, abuses, and threatens his Mooks, Greg and Rose (eventually firing them and replacing them with bouncers), and all of his other employees. It gets worse when he becomes CEO of Wholesome Foods, as his obsession with getting back at the Greens causes him to neglect his duties; when people remind him of the work he's not doing, he whines and says getting revenge on the Greens is more important. Essentially, the company is now under the control of a spoiled little boy. A good example of his treatment towards his employees comes from "Feud Fight" after Tilly and Cricket manage to lure more people by using Tilly's cuteness, Chip yells at his employee disguised as Tomato-san that he's fired and pushes him down:

  Chip Whistler: Tomato-san, you're fired. (Chip then kicks him.)

  • Another example comes from "Coffee Quest". During the episode, he mistreats Wholesome Greg, every time he makes a commentary.
    Wholesome Greg: I don't think he can hear you. Like, they're already gone.
    Chip Whistler: SHUT UP, GREG!!!
  • In "Reckoning Ball", when Greg shows Chip the viral video from "Feud Fight", he breaks his phone:
    Wholesome Greg: Remember that time you violently pelted that kid with tomatoes?'''
    Chip Whistler: (in video) What - whaaaaat!! That's right, baby! CHIP! CHIP! CHIP!
    Wholesome Greg: Well, it kinda went viral. And now, no one wants to shop here.'''
    Chip Whistler: That was taken out of CONTEXT! (Throws the phone to the floor, breaking it)
    Wholesome Greg: Aww, Chip chipped my phone. (Realization) Kind of like your teeth every time you see that kid!'''
  • And a bit later, when his employees tell him that his name is now a joke.
    Chip Whistler: Grrr... YOU'RE ALL FIRED!
• Badass Boast: Chip has said some of them:
  • In "Feud Fight", after Chip received backlash from the presents due to harming Cricket, a woman wants to buy something from the Green's stand, then Bill asks what happened, and Chip answers he happened:
    Bill Green: Well, sure! But what the heck happened to 'ya?
    Chip Whistler: Chip happened.
    Bill Green: Chip?
    Chip Whistler: Chip "Your worst NIGHTMARE" Whistler!!!
  • In "Coffee Quest", after Cricket and Gloria manage to escape from him and cross the bridge full of traffic in time (which Chip couldn't because he was in a van, while Gloria and Cricket were in a narrow sledge), Chip yells them that one day he'll run the Greens out of Big City and that they should mark his words.
    Chip Whistler: One of these days, Cricket Green, I'm gonna run your family out of this town. Mark my words: Big City is no place for the Greens!!!
• Bait the Dog: In "Reckoning Ball", he seems to apologize to the Greens so they can sign the forgiveness contract and appears to make a Heel–Face Turn, but in the end, it turns out he only manipulated them into furthering his plan to take full control of the company and focus on his revenge against them.
• Beard of Evil: He has a goatee and is clearly not a legitimate businessman. Subverted when he becomes CEO of Wholesome Foods, where he shaves it off and becomes even worse.
• Berserk Button:
  • His teeth getting damaged. In his first appearance, he blames the Green family for him chipping his tooth and swears revenge on them for it.
  • Being called a joke.
• Beyond Redemption: He refuses to learn from his mistakes, botches any attempt at showing he can be a good person and showing basic decency, and by this point, he's just a colossal dick and proud of it. His hatred for the Greens evolves from a petty wish of making them have a bad day to plain murder. This is what cements his fate, and we even have yet to find out if his dad saw the whole thing.
• Big Bad: He's basically the closest thing the show has to one, being a recurring antagonist with a grudge against the whole Green family. Season 2 seems to officially set him up as this, going from recurring market rival to complete enemy.
• Blatant Lies: In "Reckoning Ball", he claims a video of him pelting Cricket with tomatoes has been "taken out of context".
• Breakout Villain: Chip began as a haughty businessman, manager of a supermarket, and son of the CEO, that develops hatred and rivalry with the Greens for a little misunderstanding. In season 2, his presence becomes more significant and evolves from an arrogant rival to an actual threat to the Greens and their legacy.
• Card Carrying Evil: Chip ultimately ends up as this in season 4, with failing to find happiness by being a normal person with a normal life, he accepts that being vindictive, petty, and evil is what makes him happy, and he decides to become just that.
• Casanova Wannabe: In "Coffee Quest", when he meets Gloria for the first time, his voice tone changes to a seductive one and he calls her “Ponytail” and starts to flirt with her. As you could expect, Gloria doesn't take his advances very well and kicks him twice for that.
• Character Development: If by "development", this means he becomes even viler as the series progresses, unlike Cricket, who becomes more responsible and mature. In season 1, Chip was an incompetent manchild who was more of a bully/annoyance to the Greens than anything, while in season 2, he becomes an actual threat, coming close to ruining the family's good name, and attempting to straight-up murder them. He also becomes more unhinged as the series progresses. Despite this, he still keeps the defect of not thinking before acting.
• The Chew Toy: Becomes this in-universe in "Chipwrecked", especially to Cricket. This all changes when he bites back at him in the end.
  Cricket: Chip, you're a joke! We all know how this goes: First, you make a goofy little plan, it fails, you chip your tooth... And then I come out on top. Bingo-bango.
• Child Hater: Chip in "Friend Con" mentions that he loves being mean to children, meaning Cricket isn't the first kid he has gotten into a conflict with. That's not counting that basically, his main enemy is Cricket, a kid. In "Chipocalypse Now", after Mayor Hansock bans him from Big City, he tries to murder Cricket with the blades of his helicopter, but he jumped off the roof and was caught safely by Bill. He also dislikes the fact his father keeps a picture of him as a baby.
  Chip Whistler: Good luck getting back in without these! Ah, man... I love being mean to kids.
• Childish Tooth Gap: Whenever his teeth gets chipped, which is often, he has one in his mouth, whenever he speaks a whistling sound is heard. Chip clearly hates that gap between his "perfect" teeth and it is the number #1 reason why he hates the Greens with a passion, since he believes they tarnished his beauty. Also doubles as Meaningful Name, because his name is Chip Whistler.
  • Inverted at the end of "Friend Con", where Chip loses all the teeth in his mouth, but his titanium one, after Grandma Alice falls over him with a bag of goodies.
• Community-Threatening Construction: Is a major threat to the Greens' house, as he wants to destroy it beginning in Season 2, and it seems to come into effect as of "Chipwrecked". Note that this is an even bigger threat than what the house usually goes through every generation.
• Copycat Mockery: When Cricket tells him he doesn't have a sincere bone in his body due to his pathetic apology, Chip copies him in a mocking way. What makes it funnier, is that Chip is an adult.
  Cricket: Face it, Chip. You ain't got a sincere bone in your body!
  Chip Whistler: (mocking voice; mimicking Cricket) "Sincere bone in your body..."
• Corrupt Corporate Executive: While Chip Whistler starts out as a farmer who is just opposing the Greens, he eventually takes over his father's role as the CEO of Wholesome Foods. With this position, Chip uses his power to install a Wholesome Foods store right next to and above the Greens' house, running Big Coffee out of business and forcing the people in the apartment complex next to the Greens to move out. Chip then plans to force the Greens themselves to move out, and build a parking lot where their house used to be. Although these plans never come into fruition, he nearly kills Cricket. Afterwards, not only does Chip's position get revoked, but he gets banned from Big City altogether.
• Create Your Own Villain: Deconstructed. The sole reason he's the Greens' enemy was that he ate their fake produce and chipped his teeth, though that was of his own accord as he outright ignored Cricket's warning not to eat it.
• Didn't Think This Through:
  • Chip doesn't know that even if he does destroy the Greens' house, this won't technically run them out of Big City, as Bill is shown looking up various city apartments (in their price range) to move to should they fail. Thus said, the Greens will never leave Big City no matter what Chip does, so his victory will be considered a big flaw.
  • During his Villainous Breakdown in "Chipocalypse Now". He tries to kill the Greens by diving at them in his helicopter, completely forgetting about the nearby power lines (which Cricket quickly notices), which catapulted him right out of Big City.
• Disproportionate Retribution:
  • The whole reason he hates the Greens? He bit into a fake apple, broke his tooth, and blamed them for it, despite the fact that Cricket warned him not to eat it. Naturally, Bill predicted that something like this would happen. Overlaps with Evil Is Petty.
  • He tries to change his ways in "Chipped Off", but it doesn't last - he starts to crack when his barista calls him an "extra cool dude" and his boss gives him extra paperwork. He finally goes over the edge by openly wanting to kill a boy for kicking him in the leg. He now wants vengeance on everyone in Big City for siding with the Greens.
• Dramatic Irony: His big overarching goal is to drive the Greens out of Big City, but after he's tossed out in Season 2 as all his plans fell apart, the Greens end up going back to the country for a fair amount of Season 3 anyway, even if it isn't permanent. After all of this, we finally see Chip again— who is still so murderously obsessed with the Greens that he's effectively stuck in a cycle of hate while being completely oblivious to what could've been a "victory" without even lifting a finger.
• Dramatically Missing the Point: In "Reckoning Ball", when his father sees the video of him pelting Cricket with tomatoes, after he surrendered (from "Feud Fight"). He asks him what happened to him having used to be a nice kid. Chip answers that said kid became hotter.
  Mr. Whistler: What happened to you? What happened to... my boy?'
  Chip Whistler': Uh... he got way hotter.''
• Establishing Character Moment: His first interaction with the Greens in "Supermarket Scandal" begins with him rudely snapping his fingers in Bill's face to get his attention and ends with him wiping his hand off with a handkerchief immediately after he and Bill shake hands and he sees Bill's severed finger.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: One of his biggest flaws. Chip genuinely doesn't understand good and that people actually do things out of kindness. He believes that if someone does something for him, there's an ulterior motive behind it, doesn't matter how kind and selfless it is. The best example is in Season 4 when he is disguised as “Norm Alguy” he believed that his barista calling him a “extra cool dude” (something he called him every other day) was mocking him.
  Chip Whistler: Oh ho ho. Smart trick, kid. Turning EVERYONE against me. But Chip. Sees. Right. THROUGH YOU.
• Evil Costume Switch: After becoming CEO, Chip switches to a business suit, which is predominantly dull grey, and removes his sunglasses. When he finally "gets his act together", he upgrades from a grey suit to a black one.
• Evil Counterpart: To Cricket.
  • Both of them are the sons of farmers, but Cricket cares about everyone, especially his friends and family, while Chip only cares about himself.
  • Cricket owns up to his mistakes, while Chip does not.
  • Cricket is empathetic with everyone he meets, whereas Chip has a Lack of Empathy.
  • Chip is also basically Cricket's color scheme but reversed; instead of light skin and dark hair, he has dark skin and light hair.
• Evil Is Petty: He got his tooth chipped and himself shamed in his first meeting with the Greens after he tried to play them. He subsequently goes completely out of his way time and time again to ruin their lives and run them out of Big City, being as childishly petty as he could possibly be. For extra effect, the primary target of his hatred is Cricket, a literal child that initially tried to help him who he's bullied, harassed and even attempted to murder for feeling so slighted.
• Expository Hairstyle Change: By "Chipwrecked", Chip's hair is no longer slicked back and is instead more messy and matted, to go with his unstableness. He fixes it at the end of the episode, though.
• Exact Words: If the Greens sign the forgiveness contract, Chip can keep his job. However, that didn't mean he would put an end to his hatred for them.
• Expy: His intentions remind you of a G-Rated version of Russ Cargill from The Simpsons Movie. Both are bad bosses who trick their superiors, attempt killing a family, and have their own agenda that threatens a community.
• Fake Defector: Turned out to be this in "Reckoning Ball". He only acted nice and considerate to the Greens to get them to sign the contract that they accept his apology, so he can take his dad's place as CEO and exact his revenge on them without any interference from him now that he's retired.
• Faking the Dead: Was revealed to have done this since he got slung out of Big City; he escaped the helicopter with a parachute before it crashed, but everyone in Big City thought he died in the crash when they find the wreckage with Chip nowhere in sight. Chip uses their ignorance to go back to the city undercover so he can spy on the Greens and get ideas on how to plan bigger revenge on everyone who wronged him.
• Failure Is the Only Option: If Bill's plan to move to a cheap city apartment (in their price range) is of any indication, not even destroying the Green's house would have gotten them out of the city, meaning that all of Chip's actions would have been for nothing, and the Greens won't leave Big City no matter what. And even if he gets to destroy the apartment building they chose to move to, who's to say they wouldn't just move to another? Or possibly move in with someone they know, like Remy? And even if they did leave the city in that case, Wholesome Foods sure could get some backlash for destroying two apartment buildings and leaving many people homeless. In any case, Chip wouldn't get the happy ending he wants.
• Falsely Reformed Villain: Chip pretends to apologize and makes amends with the Greens, which not only results in him taking over Wholesome Foods but also leads to the shutdown of Big Coffee and the battle for Elkins Street. Once Cricket realizes what he had done, he is totally regretful of this.
• Fatal Flaw: Chip has some fatal flaws that prevent him from achieving his goals:
  • Not thinking before acting. This is what caused his downfall many times. For example, pelting Cricket with food in "Feud Fight", when Cricket had already surrendered, considering that Chip and Cricket were in a public place, this doesn't end well on Chip's behalf. Trying to destroy the Greens' house with a wrecking ball in "Reckoning Ball", which almost causes his father to take the decision of firing him, because he tried to get back at the Greens or the most egregious one: trying "to get rid of all of the Greens at once" with a helicopter in "Chipocalypse Now", not realizing that the electric wires will be in his way — something Cricket immediately takes notice of prior to facing him down.
  • Impatience: Chip is very impatient. He wants things done faster than should be, instead of waiting to get things done. This is a major reason why his plans fail. In "Reckoning Ball", Chip expects the Greens to sign his forgiveness contract as fast as they can, despite the deal being that Chip has to repair all the damage he has done. Since he keeps causing more damage and makes poor-quality jobs, you can imagine how this goes. Another example is in "Chipocalypse Now", Chip was about to win, but he had to wait until the next day to demolish the Greens' house legally, so he could get away with ruining the Greens' legacy. He instead decided to demolish the house that night, right away. As a result, the Big City population sides with the Greens, seeing what Chip is doing unfair and Chip gets himself banned.
  • His inability to apply himself and actually do work. It’s shown that in Season 2, when inheriting Wholesome Foods, Chip can actually be a good businessman with charisma and intelligence. However, Chip shows to be rather focus on flaunting his wealth or getting revenge against the Greens, resulting in him neglecting his business. His villain song in Season 4 shows this, him having high ambitions, one of them being a pilot, before deciding against it for it being “too much work.”
• Faux Affably Evil: He seemed to have changed when apologizing to the Greens for his actions, but in reality, he only pretended to be nice to worm them into believing such so he can take over from his dad.
• Foil: To Bill. While Bill's an honest, Nice Guy that runs a small farm, Chip is a jerkass head of a supermarket that will resort to underhanded tactics in order to make a profit.
• Freudian Slip: In "Chipwrecked" when he almost reveals his vendetta to his dad.
  Chip: Yeah, I've been busy, trying to destroy the Gr — uh, a — a work problem! Yeah! Destroy a work problem!
• From Bad to Worse: His and Cricket's longtime feud takes an even bigger term for the worse when Cricket and his family are led to believe he's on better terms so he can take over as CEO, which eventually leads to him taking over Big Coffee and all of Elkins Street, resulting in Cricket and Gloria jobless, and the Greens' longtime legacy is almost ruined.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: He goes from a joke whose attempts at running the Greens out of Big City were ineffectual at best, to a monstrous businessman who nearly destroys the family's legacy and attempts to murder them.
• The Gloves Come Off: In "Chipocalypse Now", it happens twice:
  • After Chip realizes that the whole battle in the house is only a distraction when one of his employees tells him about Gloria's betrayal and Remy and Cricket in his office, Chip decides that he's done playing with them.
  Chip: (To himself) They're gonna find everything... (To the employee) You. You're fired. GOONS! You're with me! (Serious Voice) I'm done playing.
  • After Remy and Cricket print proof that Chip faked the petitions and Remy successfully tricks Chip's bouncers so Cricket can escape, Chip decides that it's time to finish this.
  Chip: Cricket. Time to finish this.
• Hated by All: Played With. As the series progresses, Chip Whistler managed to become loathed by the people of Big City. This began in "Feud Fight," when he pelts Cricket with produce while chanting how he won, disgusting everyone present and causing most of his employees to quit. By "Reckoning Ball," everyone in the city has boycotted Wholesome Foods; with even his remaining employees not respecting him. Come "Chipocalypse Now", he's banned from Big City. That said, his father still cares for him. This is emphasised by his gravestone in "Long Goodbye", which says that he was a "Beloved Son, Social Pariah", and it's made fairly clear that said headstone was erected solely based on his father's request. The kindly gravedigger who tends to the lot and bids goodnight to the 'residents' refused to deliver the same courtesy towards Chip's apparent resting place, commenting to his dog that Chip may have been "The biggest jerk who ever died", and noted he had to be buried far away from Big City because nobody wanted his body interred there.
• Hate Sink: Chip Whistler is a total corrupt businessman and Jerk with a Heart of Jerk who thinks that everyone else is beneath him and is willing to do anything for the sake of power, money, and revenge. He hates the Greens because he ate fake produce that they made ,(even though they told him it was fake and not to eat it, but he still refuses to admit his faults), he even tries to kill Cricket in "Chipocalypse Now".
• He's Back!: After having been absent for all of season 3 after his defeat, he finally returns at the end of the season finale, revealed to be still be alive and well and plotting his revenge on the Greens.
• Heel Realization: In "Chipped Off", he briefly leads a normal life under a new name and winds up having a breakdown, realizing that the real him is a vengeful, villainous monster whose only joy comes from seeing the Greens suffer… and that he loves it.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: In "Chipocalypse Now". If he had been patient and waited for midnight, when he could legally demolish the farm, things wouldn't have gone so sour (as Bill was intending to throw in the towel and leave by then). By trying to rush the demolition, he set in motion a conflict that drew the attention of the local news, broadcasting it to all of Big City. Many Big City citizens then showed up at the farm, confirming to the mayor that the "petition" Chip claimed they signed was fake, causing Chip's whole plan to unravel.
• I'm Your Worst Nightmare: In “Feud Fight”, he calls himself “Chip “Your Worst Nightmare” Whistler”.
• Ink-Suit Actor: Like his actor, Paul Scheer, Chip has his trademark gap between his teeth (although mostly because he chips it every time he interacts with Cricket and his friends and family).
• Insignia Rip-Off Ritual: In "Friend Con" when Bill realizes Chip was only being a False Friend and announces the end of their friendship, he takes his hat off Chip's head.
  Bill: Chip, I'm afraid after this, we can't be friendly anymore.
• Iron Butt Monkey: As mentioned before, Chip takes tons of physical punishment that are commonly treated as a comedy, with only his teeth/dentures being chipped. Due to this, the Greens quickly dismiss Chip as a joke, by the point of "Chipwrecked", until he takes over Big Coffee.
• Irony: Despite wanting to run the Greens out of Big City, Chip ends up running himself out.
• Irrational Hatred: He hates the Greens with a passion all because of a misunderstanding that was entirely his fault. The Greens are normally just minding their business when Chip decides to try to ruin their day.
• It's All About Me: He doesn't care if his convoluted plans hinder Wholesome Foods' profits and reputation as long as he gets revenge on the Greens.
• Jerkass: He's a cruel, narcissistic person who treats everyone like garbage, even his own father. He always acts condescendingly towards the Greens and wants to run them out of town because of an honest mistake. Even when Cricket tries to call a truce in "Feud Fight", he uses it as an opportunity to assault Cricket with tomatoes.
  Chip: Haha! Sucker. Chip doesn't settle! What - whaaaaat!! That's right, baby! CHIP! CHIP! CHIP! Ch... Come on, everybody, why aren't you chanting?
  Wholesome Foods Employee: You just DECIMATED an unarmed child!
• Jerkass to One: He's especially contemptuous of the Greens, to the point of obsession. And of them, Cricket (a little kid) is the one he has the biggest vendetta against. In "Chipocalypse Now" it's shown his computer password is based on his hate for the guy.
• Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Every time he's given a chance to show some level of basic decency, he cruelly rejects it. When Cricket tries to call a truce in "Feud Fight," he uses it as an opportunity to pelt him with tomatoes. And in "Reckoning Ball", when Mr. Whistler gives his son the chance to prove he's sorry for what he did to Cricket and his family, Chip uses this to take his father's place as CEO and come up with some bigger plans to run the Greens out of Big City.
• Karmic Butt-Monkey: Chip's dickishness always comes back to bite him and he's often, if not always, subject to some sort of injury or humiliation at the end of any episode he appears in, which usually causes his tooth to get chipped. His pelting Cricket with produce, after he already surrendered, in "Feud Fight" leads to most of the Wholesome Foods employees quitting and most everyone boycotting the company. In "Reckoning Ball", he's forced to repair the Greens' roof after he damaged it. When Chip's laziness ends up destroying the house more, he has to repair those damages too. After everything he did to the Greens and for almost ruining their legacy and attempting to kill them too, Chip is banned from Big City forever.
• Lack of Empathy: Chip has no problem betraying the trust of those around him, including his own father.
• Laughably Evil: Despite all of his wrongdoings, Chip still manages to be an entertaining villain.
• Lethally Stupid: In "Coffee Quest", he offhandedly mentions that his latest replacement tooth is made from a "very toxic" polymer, but considers it "Worth It".
• Like Father, Unlike Son: "Reckoning Ball" reveals that Chip's father is a humble Self-Made Man, a far cry from his spoiled, arrogant son.
• Loophole Abuse: Chip may be banned from Big City, but there's no rule saying he can't go back in disguise; he adapts the persona of a man named Norm Alguy so he can enter the city undercover and spy on the Greens in secret.
• Madness Makeover:
  • His encounters with the Greens have slowly caused him to appear more disheveled, with the usual chip in his mouth getting replaced with a titanium tooth, as are the rest of his teeth when they fall out. He also starts growing chin hair and his hair becomes wild and matted. Subverted once he "gets his act together", he wears a black suit, gives himself a shave, and smooths out his hair.
  • After getting banned from the city and thought to have died in the helicopter crash, Chip's hair is once again matted, in addition to a permanent scar over his left eye. He smooths out his hair when in the guise of Norm Alguy.
• Manipulative Bastard: Becomes one in "Reckoning Ball", when he worms his way into the Greens' kindness and makes them believe he changed so he can take his dad's place.
• Mask of Sanity: Chip is clearly an unstable man, but he's able to hide it by acting like a smooth businessman.
  • At the end of "Reckoning Ball" and during "Friend Con", Chip is able to keep his sanity, acting like a good guy, but his tendencies to ruin the Greens are still there.
  • After getting his act together in "Chipwrecked", Chip once again acts like a suave, smooth businessman, that's until he's banned from Big City in "Chipocalypse Now".
• Meaningful Name: Not initially, but his name becomes this after he chips his tooth at the end of "Supermarket Scandal", which causes him to whistle unintentionally through it whenever he talks. This is even lampshaded at the end of the episode.
• Missing Mom: Though we did meet Chip's dad, his mom has yet to be seen or mentioned, aside from a brief offhand mention from Cricket in "Feud Fight". According to Chris Houghton, she's passed away.
• Murder Is the Best Solution: After being banned from Big City by Mayor Hansock, he tries to "Get rid of all of the Greens at once", by flying his helicopter into them all.
• Narcissist: Chip Whistler really considers himself a very handsome man. As an entrepreneur, appearances are everything to him, and he wants people to look at him as the embodiment of success. So when he breaks his tooth after taking a bite of the fake apple, he quickly blames the Greens for what happened to him.
  Chip: That's right, green beans! It's me, Chip Whistler. Manager of Wholesome Foods grocery store, and modern renaissance man.
  • Not only that, but Chip is quick to judge others for their appearances. Case in point, in his first episode, he not only makes a look of disgust when he sees Bill's severed finger but when they shake hands, he wipes his hands immediately afterward like he touched something dirty. He doesn't even bother to hide his disgust at Bill's finger in the episode "Reckoning Ball".
  • In "Long Goodbye", Chip visits his own headstone to leave mourning flowers for it, apparently in his own memory, and the gravedigger's comments make it clear that nobody else would bother to remember Chip fondly.
• Near-Villain Victory: He comes this close to taking over Elkins Street and destroying the Greens' beloved home. Had Cricket not realized the destruction petition was fake, and if all of Big City didn't show up to help them, Chip would've won.
• Never My Fault:
  • He blames the Greens for him biting into the fake apple that chipped his tooth, despite the fact that Cricket warned him not to, but he didn't listen.
  Chip: (After ignoring Cricket's warning on the fake produce, which chipped his tooth) I cannot believe this! Okay!?! Look what your awful food did to my perfect face! Okay!?! I'm gonna get you for this, Greens or my name isn't Chip Whistler!
  • At the end of "Feud Fight", he blames Cricket for turning his employees and the rest of the food market against him, ignoring the fact that they abandoned him out of disgust after he pelted Cricket with tomatoes (while Cricket was calling for a truce, no less).
• Never Say "Die": He obviously tries to kill the Greens in the climax of "Chipocalypse Now", but he never says the word.
• Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Chip ended up doing this twice:
  • By trying to rush the demolition of the farm (he can't legally demolish it until midnight), he called the attention of the citizens of Big City, among them the friends that the Green family has made until this point, who realized what Chip was doing is unfair and defended the Green family, confirming the Mayor that Chip faked the petitions.
  • And as if taking over Big Coffee and destroying it weren't enough, once his plans were foiled, and the street returned to normal, Gloria moved in with the Greens and eventually gave them the idea to advertise their produce on social media, which in turn saves their business and made them even more popular than ever.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: For the first season and a half, Chip Whistler always managed to get out-done by the Greens. No matter how much he tried, and no matter what he did, it would almost inevitably end in him chipping his tooth. It's gotten to the point that, by the time that "Chipwrecked" comes around, the Greens have completely stopped taking Chip seriously, and know that he’ll inevitably defeat himself. This comes to bite them in the back big time, as Chip uses his power as a Corrupt Corporate Executive to shut down Big Coffee and kick the people out of the apartment complex next to the Greens' house so that he can build a Wholesome Foods store to block the Greens' house from sunlight. Chip them nearly kicks the Greens out of their home by planning to build a parking lot in the area that it occupies. Even after Chip's plan to run the Greens out town fails, he still tries to kill Cricket out of spite. It's no wonder that it all ends in him getting banned from Big City altogether.
• Paper-Thin Disguise: Chip's Norm Alguy persona is simply some regular clothes and just a pair of glasses, yet manages to fool everyone in Big City completely.
• Persona Non Grata: His ultimate comeuppance for faking signatures and trying to drive the Greens from Big City. That's not counting trying to kill them, which would've gotten him into even more trouble. In "Chipocalypse Now", the mayor bans him forever from Big City. His apparent body had to be buried in a small cemetery far outside the city limits because of of this, and his reputation is so rotten the the gravedigger who tends to the place refuses to bid his headstone goodnight like he does to the others.
• Pick on Someone Your Own Size: Chip is a middle-aged adult whose main enemy is a kid? Check. Despite Chip Whistler's hatred for the Green family with passion, he hates Cricket Green the most, and almost all of his hatred is aimed at Cricket. Because... that's very reasonable.
  Wholesome Foods' Former Employee: You just DECIMATED an unarmed child!
• Psychopathic Manchild: The guy acts less like an adult and more like a whiney child who complains whenever things don't go his way. His hatred for the Greens (especially Cricket) makes him even worse.
  • Case in point: in "Reckoning Ball", when his father tells him he's fired, he falls to the floor and starts banging his fists and kicking his feet, all the while crying and begging his father not to fire him like a spoiled child who just got grounded.
• Punny Name: His alter-ego is called Norm Alguy ("normal guy").
• Pyrrhic Victory:
  • At the end of "Reckoning Ball", he tricks the Greens and his dad into thinking he changed his ways, and gets to take his dad's place as CEO of Wholesome Foods, granting him greater resources to use against the Greens... but this does nothing to erase the bad press his actions brought the company, with many people still boycotting their stores.
  • As if trying to run the Greens out of the city weren't enough, Chip doesn't know that destroying their beloved farm home won't technically get them to leave, as Bill is shown looking up various city apartments (in the family's price range) to move to in case Chip wins. In that case, Chip's goal is just a wasted effort.
• Redemption Rejection: "Chipped Off" reveals that he had a chance to be happy as Norm Alguy with a steady job and a girlfriend, even forgetting that he was really Chip for a bit, but after Chip started bubbling back to the surface, he threw it all away to go back to his vendetta against the Greens.
• Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: The stinger of "Long Goodbye" reveals that he managed to fake his death after being flung out of Big City by helicopter, and is still planning revenge on the Greens.
• Revenge: After being on the receiving end of Cricket mocking him and being called a joke for far too long, Chip bites right back at Cricket by: preventing him from attacking, firing him and Gloria, seizing control of Big Coffee, and plots the destruction of the Green house.
• Running Gag: He gets his tooth chipped at the end of nearly every episode he appears in. In the case of "Reckoning Ball", he chips it near the beginning and has that appearance until the end.
  • Inverted in "Friend Con", where he loses every tooth in his upper jaw but his titanium tooth.
• Sanity Slippage: As the series progresses he slowly loses it.
  • In "Reckoning Ball", he tries to destroy the house of the Greens with a wrecking ball, but is stopped by Keys. Later he flips out when he fails in fixing the house of the Greens, causing Bill to add more chores to the list and starts to destroy the house of the Greens intentionally until he's stopped by Alice.
  • In "Chipwrecked", after the events of "Friend Con", Chip gets more unhinged trying to run the Greens out of Big City, especially when Cricket begins treating him like a joke, after getting his indestructible tooth chipped, he loses it.
  • In "Chipocalypse Now", Chip loses it, when Mayor Hansock bans him from Big City forever, so much so he tries to murder the Greens with his helicopter.
  • In “Chipped Off”, he tries to move past his failure by constructing a completely new persona called “Norm Alguy”, which becomes his dominant personality to the point he forgets what his old name was, but after a while his facade begins to crack, and an encounter with a family that uncannily resembles the Greens leads to his old Chip Whistler personality beginning to reassert itself to the point where “Norm” begins holding conversations with it in the mirror. Eventually the Chip personality once again becomes dominant and he resumes plotting against the Greens and Big City as a whole while lurking in the sewers directly beneath the Green home.
• Scars Are Forever: Has a permanent scar across his right eye following his hiding out in the sewers, due to an unknown incident with a sewer rat.
• The Scapegoat: In his wicked mind, the Greens essentially had become this. He always blames them for his own faults and believes that if he runs them out of Big City, he'll be happy.
• Seven Deadly Sins: Chip is basically an example of all seven beats:
  • Lust: He only cares about himself and his job to the point he wants everyone to obey him. He also tried to flirt with Gloria, much to her disgust.
  • Sloth: He basically uses all his time as CEO to focus on the Greens and not his usual CEO duties.
  • Wrath: He hates the Greens, and Cricket most of all, to the point he wants them out of town for good. Then when he gets banned from Big City, he outright tries to murder them.
  • Envy: Not only does he hate the Green family, but he's also jealous of their admiration and produce.
  • Greed: Basically, he cares for three things: his appearance, money, and power. He's only willing to get money to the point that's the only thing he enjoys more. He's also willing to fake kindness to get power, as he did with his father.
  • Pride: All he cares about is himself and the money he earns. He also loves the power of his position as a boss.
  • Gluttony: Downplayed. Though not a Villainous Glutton himself, he tried to ruin the Greens' produce by biting into them. This bites him on the butt when he eats sultan peppers, mistaking them for tomatoes.
• Series Goal: Get the Greens to leave Big City forever so he can live his life without problems.
  Chip Whistler: One of these days, Cricket Green, I'm gonna run your family out of this town. Mark my words: Big City is no place for the Greens!!!
• Shadow Archetype:
  • He's essentially a more successful Gloria. Both are ambitious, took their families for granted, and developed animosity toward Cricket. However, while Chip boasts a big name, he lacks any of Gloria's redeeming qualities, such as being willing to recognize Cricket for his redeeming qualities.
  • On that note, he's also what Cricket himself could've been if he didn't have any Character Development nor true love for his family.
• "Shaggy Dog" Story: His goal of running the Greens out of Big City ends up being this as they eventually leave the city and return to the country on their own. Though, "Long Goodbye" has them realize that they don't want to live the rest of their lives in the country forever, after all the good times and friends they've made in Big City and instead choose to move between their old country home and Grandma's house to live the best of both worlds. Fittingly, it's at this point that Chip reveals himself to still be alive and plotting further revenge against them.
• Shamed by a Mob: Refusing Cricket's truce (thinking he's forfeiting the war) and attacking him with tomatoes is what causes everyone at the Farmer's Market to backlash him and result in Wholesome Foods losing population, to the point of losing some of his workers too.
• Slasher Smile: He wears one when attempting to destroy the Green family's house in "Reckoning Ball" and in "Chipocalypse Now", when he attempts to shred the Greens with his helicopter.
• Sore Loser: He really hates losing and never takes defeat well. This is despite the fact that the Greens aren't really interested in competing with him.
  • In "Feud Fight", when everyone turns against him, he decides that if he's not going to sell anything today, then the Greens won't either and proceeds to eat their produce so they can't sell it.
  • This is what kickstarts the plot of "Reckoning Ball", Chip still receives the backlash from "Feud Fight" (that was uploaded worldwide) and decides to run them out of Big City by himself by wrecking their home with a demolition ball. Keys, who happened to be patrolling at the time, steps right in front of the family and protects them, causing Chip to miss and hit part of the roof instead.
  • In "Chipwrecked", he grows more unstable after his failed attempts to rid the Greens from Big City and when Cricket no longer takes him seriously and calls him a joke. He completely loses it when in his latest plan, he suffers a Humiliation Conga.
  • In "Chipocalypse Now", after the citizens of Big City defend the Greens and Mayor Hansock bans him from Big City forever, Chip responds by attempting to kill the whole family (and by extension, all the citizens) with his helicopter.
  • In "Long Goodbye", despite his reputation being in tatters and presumed dead, not to mentioned banned from Big City forever, whilst the Greens are more successful and connected than ever, Chip is still plotting a comeback and revenge against them, despite having the chance for a fresh start elsewhere.
• Taking Advantage of Generosity: In "Reckoning Ball", he takes advantage of the kindness of the Green family to become the CEO, in "Chipwrecked" when he gloats, he thanks Cricket for allowing him to become the CEO, something that Cricket regrets. Gloria calls out to him that Chip became dangerous thanks to Cricket in "Chipocalypse Now".
• Taking You with Me: After being banned from Big City forever by Mayor Hansock and being fired from Wholesome Foods, Chip decided he had nothing else to lose and tries to murder Cricket and the Green Family (and by extension, everyone who stuck up for them) by flying his helicopter straight towards them.
• The Sociopath: He's a petty jackass who's willing to ruin the Greens' lives all over a chipped tooth. This does and at the same time doesn't make him a legitimate threat, since he's clearly willing to do whatever it takes to further his own goals regardless of who gets hurt, but his shortsightedness ultimately does him in like with real-life sociopaths. Season 4 keeps this going, with Chip revealed to have been
• Then Let Me Be Evil: After trying to become a normal person within Big City, he ends up deciding that being evil and vengeful was much more fulfilling and decides to continue to try and ruin the Greens lives, including all of the people who wronged him.
• Tom the Dark Lord: A villainous Corrupt Corporate Executive, simply named "Chip Whistler".
• Took a Level in Jerkass: Chip was already a spoiled manchild, but his behavior would get worse following "Feud Fight", with his acts of running the Green family from Big City evolve from petty schemes to outright attempted murder, which is outright illegal according to Keys.
• The Tooth Hurts: Whenever his tooth gets chipped, following his plans being thwarted. In fact, this trope is what started his feud with the Greens in the first place.
• Trumplica: An unintentional example. Chris Houghton never meant he looked like Donald Trump, but the parallels are there: Chip has orange skin and bouffant yellow hair, is an arrogant businessman that behaves like a whiney baby, runs a conglomerate, and is heck-bent on proving he's better than everyone else.
• A Twinkle in the Sky: He ends up "blasting-off again" when his helicopter gets stuck in some wires and gets flung to the sky at the end of "Chipocalypse Now". "Long Goodbye" reveals he survived, but took the opportunity to fake his death.
• Unknown Rival:
  • Despite declaring himself the nemesis of the Green Family, Bill doesn't really pay him any mind.
  • And since "Reckoning Ball", the Greens are completely unaware that they secretly helped Chip further his revenge against him and that the apology was a trick. Only Gramma showed shades of not believing him when he said he was sorry. Also, his father has yet to find out he's still evil.
  • Averted as of "Friend Con" once the Greens discover the truth about Chip, and are now fully aware he's committed to ruining them.
• Uncertain Doom: After being flung to the sky at the end of "Chipocalypse Now", it's unknown where he landed or even if he survived being flung to the sky (which is likely that he survived, because he survived worse than that). Take into consideration that he was also banned from Big City and fired from Wholesome Foods and for this, he can't come back. So only time will tell us where he landed and what he's doing. His whereabouts were revealed at the end of Season 3 in a cemetery on the outskirts of Big City, where he's still plotting revenge against the Greens.
• Unsportsmanlike Gloating: If he wins, expect him to behave like this.
  • In "Feud Fight", when Cricket attempts to call for a truce and offers Chip his friendship, Chip instead assumes he's forfeiting the fight and keeps pelting him with more produce while chanting his name. Deconstructed in the same episode, since the public present was so disgusted that it gave Wholesome Foods serious backlash and most of his employees quit. By "Reckoning Ball" he still suffers the consequences of his actions, since many people recorded it with their cellphones and uploaded them worldwide.
  • In "Chipwrecked", after bribing Ms. Cho and buying Big Coffee, he fires both Gloria and Cricket. Then he smugly asks Cricket, "Who's a joke now?", while saying that Wholesome Foods needs more space. In "Chipocalypse Now", he's still gloating about his previous victory and keeps rubbing it in the face of the Greens.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: If we take the word of his father. Chip, as a child, used to be a nice kid, but not knowing the value of hard work and growing up in an environment where he always got his way, clearly changed him for the worse.
• Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: While he's still comedic, Chip would become more ruthless as the show went on, culminating in him trying to murder the Green Family in "Chipocalypse Now".
• Villain Episode: "Reckoning Ball" focuses largely on him. “Chopped off” also focuses on him.
• Villain Song: “Happy” has Chip talk about how unhappy he is and wants to be, before deciding to try and be a normal person. Doesn’t work well.
• Villainous Breakdown: He suffers from this several times in the show:
  • In "Reckoning Ball", we have his first breakdown, after failing to fix the house of the Greens and causing more destruction, Bill keeps adding chores to the list, eventually Chip snaps and decides to destroy the house intentionally and attempts to run over the garden with the tractor.
  • The second one happens in "Chipwrecked". After he gets a chip in one of his indestructible titanium teeth, Chip is reduced to unstably screaming.
  • His biggest one is in "Chipocalypse Now" after his true colors are shown and he's promptly fired from Wholesome Foods and banned from living in Big City. After becoming completely unstable, he tries to kill the Greens with a helicopter, only to come up just an inch short and get slung far away.
• Villainous Crush: In “Coffee Quest”, he has a crush on Gloria, flirting with her and trying to get her to quit her job and work for him. He hired her in “Chipocalypse”, so he might still like her.
• We Can Rule Together: Zigzagged. In "Coffee Quest", he tries to persuade Gloria to leave Cricket behind and join him to work in Wholesome Foods, but she rejects the deal, declaring she's not a city girl, but from the suburbs, and cements it by kicking him in his mouth (and chipping his tooth in the process). Ironically, Gloria ends up working in Wholesome Foods during "Chipocalypse Now", but ultimately her friendship with Cricket allows her to quit and help him to defeat Chip.
• We Will Meet Again: He says this every time he's defeated by the Greens and vows payback for such.
  Bill: Chip, I'm afraid as of today, we can't be friendly anymore.
  Chip Whistler: (After his attempt at ruining Bill's speech was foiled) Tch. Like I care. Watch your back, Bill Green, 'cause I'll get you all sooner or later. WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT — (Gramma Alice falls over him with her bag of swag) AUGH!!
• Wham Shot: Thought Chip was gone and presumed dead after Season 2? Then look no further than the final scene of the Season 3 finale, where he's very well alive and ready for vengeance.
• Wingding Eyes: After completely flipping out, his eyes turn into white and red spirals.
• Who's Laughing Now?: In "Chipwrecked", Cricket calls him a joke. Later, when he buys Big Coffee and plans on demolishing the Greens' farmhouse to expand his business, he smugly asks Cricket, "Who's a joke, now?"
• Would Harm a Senior: Since Alice is the matriarch of the Green family, Chip has no qualms about hurting her too, especially since she's part of the family he hates with a passion. In "Chipocalypse Now", he tries to murder her, alongside Cricket, Tilly, Bill, and Nancy during his Villainous Breakdown.
• Would Hurt a Child: Goes to various lengths against Cricket that extend to even attacking him and beating him up. "Friend Con" even states he loves being mean to kids. In "Chipocalypse Now", he tries to murder Cricket by attempting to shred him with the blades of his helicopter and when he jumps off the roof he follows him, still trying to shred him (the only reason Cricket was spared that time was he weighed down the banner and swung out). Then he tries to murder him and Tilly when he wants to kill off all the Greens at once, all of that during his Villainous Breakdown, just before Cricket immediately saw his Fatal Flaw.
• Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Uses this against Nancy Green, to trick Officer Keys into arresting her when she steals his pad and knocks several statues over him.
  Chip Whistler: Officer, that woman assaulted me! (Points to Nancy and grins evilly at her)

Wholesome Greg and Wholesome Rose

Voiced by: Shane Houghton (Greg)

Chip Whistler's former henchmen.

• Affably Evil: They're Chip's henchmen and go along with his schemes of ruining the Green's family reputation, but they're actually friendly with the Greens whenever Chip is not around.
• The Bus Came Back: Greg returns alone in "Chipped Off".
• Captain Obvious: Greg can have his moments.
  Chip Whistler: Oh, you won't get away that easy.
  Wholesome Greg: Yeah, they will. Look. See, there they go. (Chip starts to get annoyed) Pretty easy. Also, are we being paid over time for this?
  Chip Whistler: Not a good time, Greg!
• Mooks: Chip's henchmen, obviously. Until he fired them in "Chipwrecked".
• Punch-Clock Villains: As "The Gifted" shows us. They're only "villains", whenever they're following Chip's schemes. Whenever he's not working in a scheme, they're fairly polite with everyone.
• Sarcastic Devotee: They're loyal to Chip, but they have no qualms in making fun of him or ridiculize him.
• Put on a Bus: Rose gets fired in "Chipwrecked" and replaced with a bouncer squad.
• Servile Snarker: Variation. Despite being Chip Whistler mooks, they have no respect for him and outright make fun of him and ignore his threats that he could fire them, like "Reckoning Ball" shows us.
• Shout-Out: A man named Greg and a woman named Rose... doesn't it sound like a certain duo of parents?
• Silent Partner: Rose is this to Greg.
• Sycophantic Servant: They seem to be willing to do whatever Chip asks them to.
• The Voiceless: Rose has yet to say a single word in the series.
• Throw the Dog a Bone: According to Chris Houghton, Rose and Greg are having the best time that probably that has happened in their lives after Chip Whistler fired them and are doing 100% better without him.
• Worth It: Implied, anytime they make fun of Chip or don't respect him, they behave like this, even laughing at his face whenever he threatens them with firing them. At least until he fires them for real in "Chipwrecked".

Chip's Bouncer Squad

After Chip fired Wholesome Greg and Wholesome Rose, Chip hired a group of bouncers to replace them and help him to defeat the Green Family.

• Bruiser with a Soft Center: When Remy acts like a lost child who lost his father, the bouncers fall for it and start consoling Remy and try to tranquilize him, even saying that Remy is the most "courageous" kid they have ever met.
• Friend to All Children: Downplayed. Despite harming Cricket in "Chipwrecked". They really sympathize with Remy when he claims he lost his dad and console him.
• Shoo Out the Clowns: After Remy tricks them by acting as a lost kid, both the bouncers and Remy don't appear at all for the remainder of the episode. This is to make space for the moment that will happen next.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: They don't appear for the remainder of the episode, after Remy acted like a lost kid, it's unknown if they still work in Wholesome Foods or quit.

• It Amused Me: He delights himself in watching Bill struggle in eating the food that locals ask for, even beginning to get sick from it.
• Jerkass: He looks down at the Greens (especially Bill) for their country origins and refuses to believe they live in Big City and takes a lot of amusement seeing Bill eating the disgusting food the "locals" ask only to prove he belongs to Big City, and doesn't care if he even starts to get violently ill from the food. He's conceited and pretentious and doesn't take it well when Bill gets fed up with how he treats him and his family and calls Bill and his family "bumpkins" in his face.
• Jerkass Has a Point: Yes, he's a jerk who discriminates against the Green family, because he thinks they're not locals, but he has all the right of calling Cricket and Tilly out for trying to free all of the octopi at his restaurant.

  Ted: I shouldn't have...! Put off those...! Swimming lessons...!!!
• Politically Incorrect Villain: Looks down on the Greens, especially Bill for not being "locals" at Big City, when Bill gets fed up with his treatment and gives him a piece of his mind, he says that the fine food is wasted in a group of country "bumpkins" like them.
  Ted: Well, GOOD RIDDANCE! The intricacies of Sea Fusïon are wasted on a country bumpkin like you!
• Shout-Out: His name is Ted and he interacts with Bill Green... what does that reminds you? Although unlike them, Ted and Bill are enemies.
• Small Role, Big Impact: He only appears in "Fill Bill", but his antagonism towards the Greens, especially Bill, helped Bill to realize that he belongs to Big City and that Big City is his true home.

• Slobs vs. Snobs: Ted is the Snob to Bill's Slob.

• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Bill gives him one, after being fed up with how he treats him.
  Bill: Excuse me, waiter? I've got a bone to pick with you. I came here wanting to try new things, but instead, I got treated like I don't belong! And that felt like a slap in the face. I don't need to change who I am to fit into Big City, 'cause I already fit in! So I'm proud to finally come clean and tell you: I don't like the food here! And I won't be finishin' my dessert! Because it's gross.
  Waiter: Well, GOOD RIDDANCE! The intricacies of Sea Fusïon are wasted on a country bumpkin like you!

• Bad Influencer: A negative portrayal of a social media influencer as someone who superficially platforms positivity, but in actuality cultivates an insular and toxic fanbase dedicated to giving him all their money.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He may seem to be nice and has a message of spreading positivity, but in real life, he is influencing his viewers to act just like him, to the point of calling anyone who doesn't like him a "hater". Only Cricket sees through this ruse, and is able to tell it's a scam.
• Broken Pedestal: Remy stops becoming his fan, after Cricket tells him that he'll be his friend no matter what.
• The Bus Came Back: He reappears in "Ding Dongers" after a long absence.
• Catchphrase:
  • "It's ya boy, Itchaboi!"
  • "Hastag, flaunt yo stacks!"
• Con Artist: He put together a "party cruise" for his fans that would cost an unbelievable amount of money (and he wouldn't even be there, only showing up as a hologram). Only Remy could afford it.
• The Complainer Is Always Wrong: If you don't find him or his videos funny or like them, then you're a "hater".
• The Corrupter: Encourages his fans to behave like shallow spoiled brats like him and spreads hate by making people hate people who don't like his lifestyle. The only one not affected was Cricket, who managed to easily see right through him.
• Faux Affably Evil: He spreads a positivity message and acts like a funny and nice guy, but he only wants the money from his fans and encourages bad behavior. The worst part is that he makes it blatantly obvious in his videos, whenever he wants people to buy his stuff at the end of his videos.
• Hate Plague: A mundane example. His videos promote this, he caused Remy, Kiki, Weezie, and Benny to hate Cricket. Ironically his videos "spread" positivity.
• Hologram: When he finally shows up in person for his "Crewse", he seems to have sent one of these in his place. (In fact, he never appears in person during the episode. A Take That! at the supremely superficial nature of influencers?)
• Insistent Terminology: He calls anyone who doesn't like him or refuses to accept his lifestyle a "hater".
• Irony: Itchaboi's message is to "negate the hate", yet it causes Remy to hate Cricket.
• Karma Houdini: He never really faces any consequences for influencing his fans (including Remy) to behave like spoiled brats and losing a fan doesn't really matter to him, since he has many and others will see him. Also when Cricket attempts to beat him, it's revealed he brought a hologram to his cruise.
• Karma Houdini Warranty: In "Ding Dongers", it's revelated that he lost his followers and is a nobody. It's heavily implied that people realized how toxic his videos are and they stopped consuming his merchandise and watching his videos, during the duration of the season.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: It's clear that "Itchaboi" is his username. And on top of that, his cash-slapped roommate(?) calls him "Itchy".
• Punny Name: "It's ya boy".
• Take That!: To internet celebrities and influencers who flaunt their wealth and seem to completely be lacking in manners, shame, or basic human decency. Word of God confirms that he's mostly inspired by Logan Paul and his brother Jake Paul.
• Trumplica: Like Chip Whistler he resembles Donald Trump, (arrogant, social network addict blonde guy, with orange skin) although Itchaboi is a teenager while Trump is an old man. Like Chip, it's likely that Itchaboi is also an unintentional example as well.

The Bouncer

Amaryllis

Voiced by: Jessica McKenna

A creepy girl who's obsessed with Zillon Brax.

• Asshole Victim: Officer Keys arrests(?) her for kidnapping "Zillon Brax", even though she actually kidnapped Cricket.
• Cheated Angle: Her bangs normally cover her right eye, but switches briefly when she turns towards "Janice" (a headless mannequin). Just this one time, too.
• Creepy Child: Just look at her picture. If that's not enough, then there's her shrine and the decapitated dummies.
• Expy: An Ax-Crazy superfan who willingly traps someone famous for her own good? Sounds a lot like Nora Dershlet.
• Knight of Cerebus: She's only appeared in one episode and manages to be one of the creepiest characters in the show. And while the portrayal is G-rated, Cricket was in danger while he was with her.
• Loony Fan: She's obsessed with Zillon so much she's intent on kidnapping him as her singing partner forever.
• Mask of Sanity: She's creepier than Chip Whistler in this regard. Do we need to remember she's still a girl?
• Meaningful Name: An amaryllis is a type of flower associated with "death" in floral language. A decent indicator this girl's dangerous.
• Stalker with a Crush: She's obsessed with trapping Zillon Brax in an abandoned warehouse filled with headless mannequins and her Stalker Shrine. (Zillon himself is familiar enough with it to lead the Greens there.)
• Yandere: She tries to be friendly, but the facade quickly drops and she treats "Zillon" (Cricket) like her property.

Bash and Bella

Voiced by: Thomas Middleditch (Bash), Lauren Lapkus (Bella)

A criminal couple who become Gramma's best Swyft customers, and pull her right into their crime sprees.

• The Bus Came Back: Bash and Bella reappear in "Spaghetti Theory", after a long absence.
• Expy: The producers for the show made it no secret that they're based on Team Rocket's Jessie and James.
• Outlaw Couple: They're a couple, and they're outlaws.
• Unholy Matrimony: Bash proposes to Bella and she accepts in "Spaghetti Theory".

F.R.A.N.K.

Voiced by: Jeff Bennett

A robot built by Big Tech to make farm life easier.

• A.I. Is a Crapshoot: It nearly tries to take over the farm when Cricket tries to shut it down. Apparently, Big Tech has received multiple complaints about this.
• Job-Stealing Robot: The robot does all the work around the farm, resulting in Bill losing his sense of purpose and he becomes a couch potato. When Cricket tries to shut it down to get Bill back on his feet again, it goes berserk and tries to take over the farm.
• Gone Horribly Right: The robot does all the farm work, leaving Bill with a whole lot of free time, but he has no idea what to do with it and ends up losing his sense of purpose.

John

John or "Pete"

Voiced by: Joey Diaz

A conman who owns many Skull Slimmers, who scammed Cricket into selling them all.

• Affably Evil: Despite his intentions clearly being to scam people, he's quite friendly and polite with them.
• Beat Them at Their Own Game: Gloria and Cricket make "upgraded" versions of the Skull Slimmers so he wants to have them back.
• Childish Tooth Gap: He has a gap between his teeth.
• Con Man: John tricks Cricket into buying many Skull Slimmers, when nobody wants those things.
• The Corrupter: John teaches Cricket how to scam and Cricket eventually scams Gloria and uses that knowledge in later episodes, although to be fair Cricket technically he knew how to scam, but John teaches him how to manipulate by telling him that he should tell the people what they want to hear.
• Creepy Shadowed Undereyes: He has purple bags under his eyes, to make it more clear that he's not a trustworthy person.
• Devil in Plain Sight: Despite he's friendly and polite, his appearance should be enough to tell he's not a trustworthy person. It doesn't help he comes from alleys.
• Evil Mentor: He tells Cricket how to scam people, Cricket eventually uses this to scam him in the end.
• Fatal Flaw: Greed.
• Greed: His fatal flaw is that he wants money at all costs, when he sees Cricket making money with "upgraded" versions of the Skull Slimmers, he wants them back so he can have all the money himself.
• Green and Mean: His skin is green and is a con artist.
• Hoist by Their Own Petard: He gives Cricket a tip in how to scam people, by telling him that to scam people, he only has to tell them what they want to hear and they'll sell themselves, Cricket uses this to scam him in the end.
• I Have Many Names: He calls himself "John" during the entirety of the episode, when Cricket tricks him, he refers to himself as "Pete". Considering he referred to him as "Pete" by accident and struggled with thinking of a name when Cricket met him at the beginning, it's very clear that he constantly is changing names to avoid being captured.
• Identical Stranger: He has an uncanny resemblance to Bill, only with green skin.
• Karma Houdini: Despite he loses all the money he made and was scammed by Cricket and Gloria. He technically doesn't suffer any consequence for his actions, other than the mentioned above. It's likely he'll continue to scam people.
• Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: If he hadn't told Cricket how to scam people, Cricket wouldn't have used the same tactic on him.
• Out-Gambitted: Gloria and Cricket already expected him to not give them Cricket's money back, so Gloria scares him by disguising herself as an FBI Agent.
• Perma-Stubble: He has a prominent 5 o'clock shadow.
• Satchel Switcheroo: When he falls from Cricket's scam. He switches his bag of money with a bag full of napkins, It didn't work, as Cricket and Gloria saw a move like that coming.
• Signature Headgear: We always see him wearing his fedora.
• Small Role, Big Impact: He only appears in "Flimflammed", but he taught Cricket what to say to scam people. Cricket had already scammed people ("Wishing Well", "Desserted") but John taught him that to scam, he only had to tell the people what they wanted to hear and Cricket uses that knowledge and perfected his scams in later episodes ("Chipwrecked" for example).
• A Taste of Their Own Medicine: Cricket and Gloria trick him into having his Skull Slimmers back and scare him with a police officer (Gloria in disguise), making him lose his money in the process.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Had he not taught Cricket how to scam, Cricket wouldn't have perfected his scams in later episodes. To be fair, Cricket knew how to scam, but John taught him what to say.
• Wingding Eyes: When he sees that Cricket is making money with the "upgraded" Skull Slimmers, his pupils become green dollar signs.

"The people who sit at this table are like my dolls. They say what I want them to say, do what I want them to do, and now, you've joined my collection!"

• Control Freak: She treats everyone around her like their her dolls and forces them to do whatever she wants, and say whatever she wants them to say as well.
• Enfant Terrible: She demands everybody behave like her dolls and do her will, she's also very spoiled and mean and nobody can't tell her "no".

• Non-Standard Character Design: One of the very few characters to have a visible eye color.

Gertie

Voiced by: Sandy Martin

Gramma's arch-nemesis.

The Librarian

"There will be no noises in the library, young man, so you better watch yourself."

Voiced by: Linda Hamilton

The rather strict librarian of the public library.

• Ambiguously Human: Given her rather strong enhanced hearing, Super-Speed, Eye Glasses, Running on All Fours, and her snake-like appearance, she and her fellow librarian mates might not be human and presumably alien-like. Her skin tone is also a rather unique shade not present on most characters.
• Expository Hairstyle Change: When she gets intimidated by the Greens noising her around too much, her Prim and Proper Bun falls loose and mussy. She has it tied back up once she's calm again and done her job.
• Eye Glasses: Her glasses tend to emote as if they were her real eyes.
• Hypocrite: She's against even the slightest of sounds, even talking and whispering, yet she is allowed to talk and whisper herself.
• Karma Houdini: She receives no punishments for the way she treated the library patrons.
• No Name Given: Has no known name.
• Perpetual Frowner: She's always frowning and scowling almost 90% of the time.
• Running on All Fours: Does this sometimes when sneaking up on someone making noise.
• Scary Librarian: As you can probably tell by her image.
• Super-Senses: She can hear even the slightest of sounds, barely audible ones included.
• Verbal Tic: She always speaks in a vicious whispery manner.

The Delivernator

Voiced by: Keith Silverstien

A delivery robot created by Gwendolyn Zapp that threatens to replace Cricket.

• Badass Boast: “I do not tire. I do not waste time. I DO NOT DIE.”
• Expy: An unstoppable, untiring, self-repairing robot, much like The Terminator.
• The Unsmile: Zapp’s design for the second-generation delivernators has a creepy human-like face, complete with a very unsettling smile.
  Delivernator: YOU… CAN… TRUST… ME…

Season 4 antagonists

Joshua

Voiced by: Peter Blomquist

Bill's archrival from Smalton, with a super-strong grip.

• Crushing Handshake: Is most known for his supremely strong hand, which literally crushes anyone who handshakes him.
• Disc-One Final Boss: He's the first major antagonist of Season 4 Cricket faces, before re-encountering the thought-to-be-dead Chip Whistler.
• Pretentious Pronunciation: Insists his name be pronounced "Josh-hua", not "Josh-ooh-ah". The captions even list his name as that pronounciation.
