General
Gary: They're all money, and condescending attitudes.
Jimmy: Yeah, massively inbred, and completely brainless.
Gary: Very observant, Jimmy-boy.
The third highest clique in the hierarchy, their Leader is Derby Harrington with their Co-Leader being Bif Taylor. They are rich, uppity, snobby, White Anglo-Saxton Protestants. Their rivals are the much poorer Greaser Delinquents, a group of dirty, Brooklyn Rage filled menaces. They are the focus of Chapter 2 where Gary has them believe that Jimmy insulted them. They are a team of Boxing Battlers and as such fight with boxing techniques, making them the only clique to dodge and weave instead of just blocking melee attacks, with a tendency to throw eggs at long range. They hang around Harrington House on campus and Old Bullworth Vale outside of it.Jimmy: Yeah, massively inbred, and completely brainless.
Gary: Very observant, Jimmy-boy.
—This Is Your School
As A Whole
- Abusive Parents: Played for Laughs, most preps have dialogue that their parents are abusive, like Tad who tried giving his father a cake and got stabbed with a pitchfork in return.
- Arch-Enemy: The Greasers go toe to toe with them, they have a large "rumble" at the end of chapter 3 after Lola manipulates them for her amusement.
- Aristocrats Are Evil: Their entire gang is composed of the wealthiest kids in Bullworth and they see everyone else as beneath them for being poor.
- Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Some preps have this taunt during fights, reminding you that they box, like "I Know Jujitsu Punk", or "I'm A great boxer you know".
- Batter Up!: They wield cricket bats on occasion, mainly in their chapter's final mission, "Dishonorable Fight."
- The Beautiful Elite: They try their best to cultivate this, but they come across as the Jerkass variant. Playing up their physical features and chasing after the best fashion (Aquaberry-brand clothes in this case), their members all come from rich families.
- Boxing Battler: The Preppies are the only characters in the game who can dodge melee attacks using their boxing footwork to weave in and out of the way of punches and kicks. The Leader and The Dragon are also immune to grapples, which fits with it being illegal in boxing.
- Blue Blood: What many of these rich kids fashion themselves as, though Derby calls the most attention to it.
- The Boxing Episode: Their clique challenge to unlock their hideout, where Jimmy enters a tournament with $1,000,000 as the prize and gets the Beach House instead due to not having family members in any of the Preps' organization.
- Break the Haughty: Beating them, bullying them, or giving them a swirly damages their their ego, and they have a more sorrowful tone in their dialogue when they receive any of the 3.
- The Computer Shall Taunt You: Preps like Chad mock you if they manage to knock you to the ground.
- Custom Uniform: Derby and the other preppies wear the fancier Aquaberry vests over their normal uniforms. During the winter, some of them wear striped scarves and wear sweaters instead of vests.
- The Dandy: The clique is more focused on image than actual fighting prowess, as they wear aquaberry and reside in a separate building on campus called "Harrington House". Their fighting style reflects this as well, relying boxing to fight their opponents and fight with visually impressive stances and moves than actual strategy. When they do fight other opponents, they're quickly knocked out because their opponents simply break through their defenses or use underhanded tactics.
- Extremity Extremist: All but a few fight only with fists, the few who avert this throws eggs, grapples, or has a single kick move.
- Flash Step: Thanks to their boxing skills, their footwork has them perform this to dodge attacks.
- Force and Finesse: The Finesse to the Greasers' Force. They use careful boxing techniques to dodge and weave, whittling the opponent down, while Greasers have a more straightforward street-fighting style.
- Gang of Hats: A classist gang composed of spoilt children from rich and powerful families, they believe they are superior because of their wealth and they try to keep their bloodline pure through inbreeding. They have an intense rivalry with the greasers and would fight them on sight.
- Hidden Badass: "Upper-Class Twit" does not mean weak or stupid. They're actually some of the most skilled fighters at Bullworth, even if they're not as strong as the Jocks. Interestingly, even when set against the Greasers, Preps will usually come out on top - with no small help from Bif, their second-in-command and second toughest NPC in the game.
- Home Base: Harrington House on campus and Old Bullworth Vale off it. There's also the boxing gym and the old abandoned Beach House they give Jimmy after he wins the boxing tournament.
- Inbred and Evil: Played for Laughs and zigzagged with the preps , while they look pretty, educated, physically fit and could walk and talk normally, some of them have small defects, like Tad who has a webbed foot.
- Irony: They hate the poor but are avid boxing enthusiasts, a sport that was referred to as "The poor man's sport" because the people who played it were from poverty-stricken areas and they boxed for competition, money, and status.
- Jerkass: They all are, the best example is when Derby and Bif disbelieve Jimmy when the Townies stole and burnt their boxing trophies despite the photos.
- Kissing Cousins: Many of the preps, even the ones stated to be dating each other, are related to each other despite their different family names thanks to inbreeding. It's one of the things Jimmy mocks them for.
- Leitmotif: Has a jazz-organ New Wave remix of "Billie Jean's" instrumentals by Michael Jackson.
- Luxurious Liquor: Some Preps drink even though they are below the drinking age, their old lighthouse clubhouse and boxing gym office has a bar with liquor bottles scattered everywhere, and in the Chapter 2 boss fight the leader has a drink while his goons do his dirty work. They also planned to egg Mr. Hattrick's house for not allowing Galloway to have a drink.
- Nouveau Riche: Some of the members will come from self-made wealthy families and happily tell people that they're either this or Old Money.
- Oblivious to Hatred: In Preppies Vandalized, they assume the Greasers stole their trophies because they've "always hated us". Once Jimmy explains why everyone hates them, Derby responds with "Now he tells us."
- Old Money: Plenty of them come from families that have held a stake in Bullworth and business for generations, and they'll be very happy to remind anyone of this whether they asked or not.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: As a classist gang, they deem everyone outside their wealth as worthless and sub-human, frequently using "Pauper" as an insult. Their families have also forbidden them from having relationships with working class people as Tad is said to be inbred and Gord is very defensive when he says "Cousins are legal". This behaviour actually seems to have been indoctrinated by their parents, as they weren't aware that the Greasers aren't the only gang to hate them.Derby Harrington: "Gentlemen, are we going to let some guttersnipe come in and beat up our friend Bif!"Preppies: "NO!"Derby Harrington: "Then what are we going to do?"Preppies: "Beat him back to the ghetto!"
- The Proud Elite: All preps are a part of the upper echelons of society and won't waste a moment in not telling you so, but some can have a bit of kindness hiding underneath their arrogance.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: The Preps often make mention of how they intend on manipulating Bullworth thanks to their families providing the school's financial support. Crabblesnitch speaks highly of them.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Dialogue from them and others will bring up how they've escaped punishment by having their rich families bail them out. Chad offers to pay whoever his opponent happens to be into letting him win their scuffle.
- Spoiled Brat: They are spoiled rotten by their wealthy families.
- Sub-Par Supremacist: The preppies believe they are superior because of their wealth and consider the lower classes as inferior and beneath them. However, they're highly inbred and they are living on inherited wealth. They also have boxing trophies in their gym but Derby clarifies that they are actually heirlooms and not something they actually earned.
- Upper-Class Twit: It's been implied by Mr. Galloway that the families of the preppies have been bribing the teachers for good grades.
- Weak, but Skilled: Mostly the case for the less durable members of the Preps, but the group as a whole aren't known for being as tough or hardened like the Greasers, Jocks or Townies but have serious boxing skills that allow them to dodge and counterattack.
- White Anglo-Saxon Protestant: They are another 50's subculture Rockstar put in, they wear polo shirts during gym and sweaters, but instead of putting it around their neck like most examples they just wear sweaters normally.
Derby Harrington
Derby Harrington
"It takes more than victory to become a champion! It takes breeding, and nepotism, and snobbery!"
- Voiced by: John Lavelle
- Abusive Parents: Both implied and directly stated in different contexts. Derby states in one mission that he tried to play innocent when his father caught him with his nanny, which he got a "good thrashing" for. The implied part is that if Derby, a probable minor, was caught with a nanny, it was most likely sexual abuse.
- All Your Powers Combined: His fighting style as a boss incorporates all of the preps' boxing attacks and maneuvers.
- Arc Villain: The main antagonist and final boss of Chapter 2.
- Arch-Enemy: To Johnny.
- Though it's only implied through small talk between the other students. They seldom mention each other in their dialogue, and in their few on-screen appearances together they come across as oddly chummy.
- Asskicking Leads to Leadership: As leader of the Preps, he has his own fighting style that incorporates all of the types of punches that the clique members can throw, even though he'd prefer the others do the fighting for him.
- Blue Blood: His combat dialogue makes the most references to this.
- Combat by Champion: He outright Defies this, siccing the Preps on Jimmy after he beats Bif fairly in their boxing match.
- Combat Pragmatist: His unique fighting style during his boss fight mixes in illegal boxing moves. Other than that, he also encourages the entire clique to gang up on Jimmy instead of accepting a one-on-one duel, hiding behind the bar's counter and only coming out when he has backup or if the backup suddenly stops. A
Dummied Out attack also had him throw bottles from the bar whenever Jimmy is kept at a distance. - Conforming OOC Moment: In the ending cutscene, he appears among a crowd of students (including the clique leaders) and teachers applauding Jimmy, which is very uncharacteristic of him, considering how unpleasant he is to Jimmy during the game. He was probably placed there only because he's a clique leader.
- Counter-Attack: Uses 2 different versions depending on when he's fought. In most situations, it's identical to Bif, Tad, and Gord's, but during his boss fight, he uses a different, slower and stronger one.
- Cowardly Lion: He's just about as tough and as competent at boxing as Bif... Then again, he never fights alone.
- Dirty Coward: Lets his friends soften Jimmy up during his boss fight while he hides behind the counter, only coming out to fight when Jimmy is outnumbered or if Jimmy barricades the doors. He also doesn't ever fight Johnny Vincent directly, preferring to let Bif do his dirty work.
- Hypocrite Has a Point: He makes a few good points about leadership, even if he's being a complete hypocrite about it. He tells Jimmy that even if Gord deserves some of the harassment from the Greasers, Jimmy should still fight for the people under his command, not abandon them so quickly for their opponents.
- Jerkass Has a Point: He undermines Jimmy's authority by pointing out that there's no such thing as "king of the school" and both Jimmy and Gary are just fooling themselves. The next set of missions proves that his statements are more accurate than anyone realised; Gary is actually trying to perform a hostile takeover of the school, not be the most popular kid there.
- Lightning Bruiser: Surprisingly, yes. The Preppies in general emphasize using careful footwork to avoid attacks and sneak in fast combos coming across as the Weak, but Skilled Fragile Speedster clique of the game, particularly in comparison to tougher cliques like the Greasers or the Jocks. Derby fights the same way, but he has a far larger healthbar than the other non-Bif Preppies, leading to this trope.
- Manipulative Bastard: Even after Jimmy brings the Preppies in line, Derby quite easily tricks Jimmy into getting in trouble with the Greasers.
- Man of Wealth and Taste: All the Preppies fashion themself as this, but Derby's a more notable one from what we see. He's even seen in a smoking jacket at one point.
- Mistaken for Gay: According to Dan Wilson, there's a rumor about Derby and Bif being in a relationship with each other. In the game itself, there's no official confirmation if Derby and Bif are a couple, and the only preppie who is confirmed to be gay is Gord Vendome, who is bisexual and can be kissed by Jimmy in free roam. This rumor might explain why Derby was nonchalant about Jimmy and Pinky going on a date.Dan: "Apparently Derby and Bif are gay for each other."
- No-Sell: During his boss fight, he auto-blocks wrestling moves. As the strategy guide explains, "that's not how preppies fight."
- Out of Focus: Inverted. He's given a few mentions here and there in Chapter 2, but despite the chapter being all about toppling the reputation of the Preppies, he only makes an in-person appearance at the end of it to challenge Jimmy. He has more appearances afterwards.
- Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: Only during his chapter boss fight and always followed up with an uppercut. It's not really that fast compared to other characters' attacks, but it's the longest combo in the game and is unique for having a special animation where his opponent visibly gets stunned by each individual blow.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: During his boss fight with Jimmy, he keeps running away from the fight to hide behind the bar while other preppies fight Jimmy for him.I'm leveraging the assets I have and you don't. Friends.
- Smug Snake: He's exceptionally smug. He believes that breeding, nepotism and snobbery are more important than actually being able to fight.
- Unblockable Attack: Only used during his chapter boss fight: A slow, overhand right cross identical to the ones used by Bryce, Chad, Justin and Parker.
- Villain with Good Publicity: Downplayed. Derby, alongside most of the Preppies, are smug, pompous and condescending to anyone who just happens to be on their bad side, a lower-class than them, or are Greasers. The Harringtons are well-known among Bullworth for their wealth and contributions to the academy.
- While Rome Burns: During the penultimate mission "Complete Mayhem", his response to the schoolwide riot is to apparently relax and spectate the chaos from the Harrington House while wearing a smoking jacket.
Bif Taylor
Bif Taylor
"Of course, the best man always wins—me!"
- Voiced by: Andrew Rannells
- Ambiguously Gay: Bif is rumored to be gay due to his close friendship with Derby Harrington and he speaks disparagingly of Lola and Mandy for their promiscuity and alleged sexual history, suggesting that they are easy to hook up with or he doesn't see how they are attractive. It doesn't help that the only confirmed gay member of the Preppie clique is Gord."It's a fact that Greaser chicks are 50% easier to score with, but who would want to""She's been with almost all of the starting lineup. All she needs is a left tackle and a slapback"
- Bodyguarding a Badass: "Badass" is a strong word, but he's still acting as the big, intimidating bodyguard of a guy who's just as strong as he is at least in terms of gameplay.
- Boss in Mook Clothing: He's got a bigger health bar than some of the bosses and an effective fighting style too, but he can still be found wandering around Bullworth like the other students, in contrast to Russell who only hangs out around the school parking lot or the front of the school.
- The Brute: One of the strongest students in the game - only Russell is stronger than him in free roam.
- Butt-Monkey: Delegated to this in the Prep's final mission "Dishonorable Fight", he gets dethroned as the Boxing Gym Champion by Jimmy Hopkins, loses the boxing bout by knockout, shamed and yelled at by his own clique's leader for losing and just stays knocked out throughout the rest of the mission. He's even specially programmed to be seen still out cold in the ring, from the bar upstairs.
- Jerk Jock: Most of his dialogue is either about beating people up or about how great a boxer he is.
- The Juggernaut: He can take and dish out lots of damage, which is probably why he's the Boxing Gym Champion, he's better than the other token big guys in the other cliques bar Russell, Bif can block and dodge unlike Damon and is more durable than Norton.
- Lightning Bruiser: He's a got a huge health bar equal to that of Chapter 2's boss and is an accomplished boxer who hits fast, dodges frequently and is one of the few students with a Counter-Attack.
- Mistaken for Gay: According to Dan Wilson, there's a rumor about Derby and Bif being in a relationship with each other. In the game itself, there's no official confirmation if Derby and Bif are a couple, and the only preppie who is confirmed to be gay is Gord Vendome, who is bisexual and can be kissed by Jimmy in free roam.Dan: "Apparantly Derby and Bif are gay for each other."
- Nerf: While he's usually one of the toughest students in the entire game, the boxing fight against him is no more difficult than any of the other Preppies.
- Punny Name: His name "Bif" sounds similar to Biff, a stock sound effect for punching something.
Pinky Gauthier
Pinky Gauthier
"Three minutes! What does he think I am, a tramp?!"
- Voiced by: Kaija Matiss
"I'm a PRINCESS! And I need people to do things for ME! So hurry up, because I wanna be FIRST!"
A girl with an abrasive ego but a heart of gold who shows interest in Jimmy after hearing about him. Was originally set to marry Derby to carry on the traditions of their family.- Alpha Bitch: Not as much as Mandy, but still...
- Conforming OOC Moment: Despite being one of the nice members of the preppies and even going on a date with him, Pinky stands by her clique as Jimmy challenges Bif to a boxing match.
- Everybody Has Standards: Despite being spoiled and unstable, even she hates Gary.
- Hidden Depths: Implied to suffer from some sort of disorder and is going through therapy over it. She also believes in charity and donating to the poor, despite her Rich Bitch moments.
- Kissing Cousins: Admits she's dating Derby out of an Arranged Marriage plan the Preppies' ancestors used to breed "purity" (and they would've pushed for full Brother–Sister Incest if it wasn't against the law). Thankfully, she dumps him for Jimmy after he was five minutes late to his date with her!
- Mood-Swinger: Very noticeable in her two cutscene appearances - She changes from being rather kind to lashing out and demanding all in the span of a few seconds. It's not as noticeable in her free-roam dialogue, though.
- Rich Bitch: She has Pet the Dog moments, like that she donates to charities or she likes Jimmy for being an honest, stand-up guy after Derby only... well, stood her up on their date. However, it doesn't take very much at all for the "bitch" side to come out.
- The Rival: To Lola, for unexplained reasons (possibly due to the Greaser-Preppy feud). She sometimes talks about her as a cheap tramp. On rare occasions, you may see the two engage in a cat-fight outside the Girls' Dorm after school hours. There's also some unused dialogue of the two having an argument about Johnny during Complete Mayhem.
- Single Woman Seeks Good Man: For all her faults, she seems legitimately fond of Jimmy for his good qualities. She will even be the only one actively rooting for Jimmy in boxing matches against other Preps.
- Spoiled Sweet: Even though she still expects to be treated like a princess, she's not as bad as the other Preppies. She donates old clothes, prefers to date boys of a lower class and dislikes how her father forbids her from socialising with those outside his tax bracket.
- Token Good Teammate: Despite having a large ego, Pinky is probably the most sweet and kindhearted member of the Preppies. She openly admits to donating to charities and the poor, and likes to focus on Jimmy's more savory qualities like his loyalty and honesty. She's also the only Preppy to cheer Jimmy on during boxing matches and doesn't participate in Derby's assault against the former when Derby rallies the Preppies to attack Jimmy.
Bryce Montrose
Bryce Montrose
"We're the only family at the Golf & Yacht club without a boat!"
- Voiced by: Ben Levin
- Extremity Extremist: An aversion among the Preps, as he uses a knee strike for one of his grapple moves as well as a running kick.
- Guide Dang It!: Is listed in the strategy guide as a non-clique student, confusing many that use that resource to try and complete the yearbook photos. Of course, with his family's finances how they are, that might soon be a reality.
- I Know Karate: "I'm trained in Thai boxing!" With the Prep Grappler fighting style incorporating kicks and the use of knees in grapples, he's probably not lying.
- Impoverished Patrician: His dad lost nearly everything on the stock exchange, and is lying to his prep friends about his continued wealth.
- Non-Idle Rich: Not through choice - he has to work at the yacht club to pay his tuition. He presents it as how they begged him to "provide his services" and plays up the importance of his role.
- Sheltered Aristocrat: Outright admits his parents have sheltered him from so much in life.
- Strong as They Need to Be: If your respect from the Preps is low enough, provoke him while he's practicing in the boxing club with his boxing uniform on and you'll notice that he has the same exact stats and moveset as Bif. Technically, other Preps in their boxing uniform get a similar stat boost, but he's the only one that's not fighting inside the inaccessible boxing ring.
- Unblockable Attack: Two of them! One's a slow, overhand right cross and the other's a running kick.
- Wealthy Yacht Owner: Subverted - despite being a member of the club and making contacts there, his family is the only family at Golf and Yacht Club without a boat.
- You Are What You Hate: Is probably the most vitriolic prep about the poor and working class and the most boastful about his wealth. In reality, his dad has lost the family fortune and now he has to work his way through Bullworth.
Chad Morris
Chad Morris
"Look at this! A bunch of guys whose career aspirations are to work in stores."
- Voiced by: Brandon Gill
- Enemy Mine: In The Wrong Part of Town, he pairs up with Jimmy and Algie against the greasers.
- Extremity Extremist: Averts it exactly like Bryce does.
- Frivolous Lawsuit: One of his many threats.Hit me hard, and my daddy sues!
- Hidden Depths: Is hinted to be an environmentalist, used to run track, and was an applicant for the Glee Club (he claims he was too big to get in). However, relatively unique among the Preps is that none of his Hidden Depths threaten his status within the clique.
- I Know Karate: "I know jiu jitsu, punk!" With the Prep Grappler fighting style incorporating kicks and the use of knees in grapples, he's probably not lying.
- Nature Lover: Zig-zagged. He has a dog he loves and is hinted to be an environmentalist, but he's the prep who boasts of having shoes made out of genuine puppy leather.
- Pet the Dog: As much of a jerk he is, he at least cares about his dog to try defend it during Halloween. He also offers Jimmy to ride his scooter on the weekends.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: "I can afford to break the rules. I'm a prep." - He also tried getting his father to bribe his biology teacher into giving him an A, offers opponents money to let him win fights, and tried begging his mother to access his trust fund.
- Sidekick Creature Nuisance: His dog Chester. Not only does he attack Jimmy on sight near the lot of Harrington House, his attacks also cost a lot of damage, and he's pretty fast, too.
- Unblockable Attack: Just like Bryce, a right cross with a long wind-up and a running kick.
- Ungrateful Bastard: After the Enemy Mine mission above, he leaves Algie and Jimmy because he doesn't want his reputation damaged.
- Upper-Class Twit: While all the Preppies are this to some degree, Chad is one of the worst offenders. Half of the things he says about himself has to do with money, such as how his watch costs more than Mr. Galloway's car.Chad: [towards Ricky and Jimmy] Great, look at this - A bunch of guys whose career aspirations are to work in stores.
[later]
Do you even have flushing toilets in your trailer? I couldn't imagine it.
Gord Vendome
Gord Vendome
"Hey listen: We like to box, the noble art and all that."
- Voiced by: Andrew Gehling
- Bullying a Dragon: After being caught dating Lola, the girlfriend of Johnny Vincent, the Greasers have made him their primary target of bullying and harassment. As Jimmy points out, however, Gord really should have known better than to date the girlfriend of a violently quick-tempered gang leader.
- Fragile Speedster: He actually has less health than the Bullies but he uses Bif's and Derby's fighting style.
- How Much More Can He Take?: During the boxing minigame.Gord: "It's a wonder Hopkins is still standing!"
- Kissing Cousins: When Johnny accuses him of messing around with the wrong women, he says "cousins are legal", before realizing that Johnny meant Lola.
- Lethally Stupid: The events of chapter 3 would never have happened if Gord had known better than to date Lola, the unfaithful girlfriend of a quick-tempered psychopath who leads a gang of bloodthirsty greasers who are more than happy to beat up a preppie and are unquestionably loyal to Johnny.
- Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Sometimes he lapses from posh English to normal American. No reason for it, he just does, and no one seems to notice.
- Slumming It: He's not opposed to the concept, and even laments that he's not allowed to date poor girls because they're 'more real.'
Justin Vandervelde
Justin Vandervelde
"My father says they'll triple the tuition. Keep the riff-raff out you know?"
- Voiced by: Jaesun Celebre
- Ambiguously Gay: Has a free roam line in which he admits that he sometimes doesn't think he's interested in girls.
- Dirty Coward: Shows hints of this. He tells his enemies that they'll regret it later when battling, and when he's beaten, tells them he could have paid him not to beat him up. His voice tone during fights is also inexplicably shaky.
- Go-Karting with Bowser: Even with 0% Preppies respect, he'll offer money to Jimmy in a side-mission if he can beat his swimming record by the beach in Old Bullworth Vale, and again to egg the Tenements in New Coventry.
- Hidden Depths: Actually notes that real friendships are hard to come by at Bullworth, and that everyone is just using each other. He is also considerably into sports and wants to form an alliance between the Jocks.
- Improbable Weapon User: His weapons? Eggs, provided most of the Preps do too but he actually references this in his fight dialogue.
- Jerk Jock: Is obsessed with sports and wants an alliance between the Preps and Jocks.
- Pungeon Master: Loves to make egg related puns as insults.These yolks crack me up!
You look a little scrambled!
You look a little shell-shocked! - Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: During one of his attacks similar to the one Derby uses during his boss fight except he always ducks before performing it and he doesn't have Derby's additional uppercut.
- Unblockable Attack: Yet another user of the same, slow overhand right cross.
- Verbal Tic: He uses the word "peon" as not only an insult, but even if he's talking nicely to some people.
Parker Ogilvie
Parker Ogilvie
"I told him I'd be his friend as long as no one saw us together in public..."
- Voiced by: Cory Anker
- Ambiguously Bi: A couple of Dummied Out lines for a beta "Small Offences" show Parker getting distressed at his gnome's relationship with Gord. Since the gnome in question is male, it is possible Parker was intended to be the bi preppy.
- Anti-Villain: Acts like an arrogant prep largely out of habit rather than any actual malice. A lot of his dialogue indicates that he's actually a pretty decent guy and that he doesn't enjoy senseless violence.
- Apologetic Attacker: When starting a fight, he'll sometimes remark that he'll feel sorry about it later or that whoever he's fighting should just run away.
- Casanova Wannabe: He is completely hopeless with women, and really wants a girlfriend.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: His Dummied Out interactions with his garden gnome are very similar to someone going through a rocky relationship, only for their partner to die.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: An unusual case, he seems to be a nice guy by nature and has trouble balancing his nice guy impulses with the arrogance that the Preppies demand. Whenever he does something nice, he immediately goes into damage control. He sometimes gives money to hoboes, but always insults them afterwards to his friends. He is willing to be friends with people outside the clique, as long as he's not seen with them.
- Lonely Rich Kid: Can't get a girlfriend and is implied to not really be happy with his friends.
- Our Gnomes Are Weirder: Deleted audio has him being... very fond of a gnome he calls Gnomey, left in tears after its destruction.
- Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: He has the exact same fighting style as Justin.
- Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: He doesn't understand why he isn't a jerkass like the other Preps, and he doesn't understand why he can't buy a girlfriend and often friends.
- Unblockable Attack: Shares Justin's overhand right cross.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Calls out Jimmy for helping Johnny beat up fellow Prep Gord when they're supposed to be allied at that point in the game."Some leader you turned out to be!"
Tad Spencer
Tad Spencer
"We don't like what [Mr. Hattrick] did to that old soak Galloway; a chap can have a drink if he bloody hell wants to."
- Voiced by: Baron Vaughn
- Abusive Parents: His father beats both him and his mother, as evidenced by some of the responses he gives in fights. Like most stuff in the game, these are played for laughs.
- Big Fancy House: Even by prep standards - his garage has its own address. The Spencer estate features in a few missions.
- Counter-Attack: Frequently.
- Distinction Without a Difference: During "The Eggs":Tad: Now, tell me, Hopkins. Is true you said I was inbred?
Jimmy: No.
Tad: Because first cousins is legal, my friend. Legal.
Jimmy: Yeah, Okay.
Tad: Yeah, and just because my elder brother doesn't have a chin and ended up in a lunatic asylum, it doesn't mean anything.
Jimmy: Whatever, Tad, your family is your business.
Gary: Don't lie, Jimmy. You said Tad was probably a hermaphrodite with that much inbreeding.
Jimmy: Hermaphro-what?
Gary: Don't act dumb. You said his mom is also legally his aunt, and that he probably had webbed toes.
Tad: I don't... Well, only on one foot. - Domestic Abuse: His dad hits his mother. He's not happy about it.
- Everyone Has Standards: Subverted, he convinces Jimmy to help him egg Mr Hattrick's house for bullying Mr Galloway, stating that Mr Galloway should be allowed to drink if he wants to. However, Tad actually wanted to egg Jimmy instead for alledgedly talking smack about him behind his back.
- Expy: His hairstyle and mannerisms make him resemble an older version of Stingy.
- Fragile Speedster: Has the same fighting style as Gord and goes down just as quickly.
- Honesty Is the Best Policy: As shown under Distinction Without a Difference and Nouveau Riche, Tad is surprisingly truthful when responding to any questions he's asked or to any accusations made against him.
- Jerkass: While every other clique member tells their partners not to worry and comes to their aid when in danger, Tad just scolds his friends for being in need of help.Tad: Do I have to bail you out again?!
- Kissing Cousins: "First cousins is legal, my friend. Legal."
- Lonely Rich Kid: Of the awful family life variety.
- Nouveau Riche: But pretends to be Old Money. He's quite happy explaining this situation to everyone, from Jimmy to his fellow preps, so it's unclear why he even bothers.
- Race Fetish: Downplayed - His prerelease bio claims he wants to be English, and he speaks in a false English accent to help his insecurity. Of course, his natural voice cracks in when he's really angry.
- The Starscream: Implied to be one of the wealthier Preps and seems to hold some authority over his fellow Preppies, a portion of his dialogue suggests that he's trying to take leadership of the Preppies from Derby. He sometimes talks about trying to dig up dirt on Derby's name and also trying to instigate conflict between Derby and Bif. Not that it ever affects the main story in any way.
- Unknown Rival: Seems to Hold a grudge against Peanut and plots against him. Peanut himself never acknowledges the guy in any of his dialogue so aside from the usual Preppy-Greaser enmity, it's likely a one-sided rivalry.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: He wants to make his overbearing father proud.
- Your Mom: Gary makes the Preps think that Jimmy said this among many other supposed insults, which is Tad's breaking point for them to turn hostile.
