** It's implied he has one that kind-of-sort-of corresponds to the backstory of the musical ''Workin' Boys'', although his [[CloudCuckooLander sanity is shaky enough]] that's hard to say how much if any of what he says about himself is accurate. [[spoiler: WebVideo/WorkinBoys reveals that it was loosely inspired by him and his group of friends in college. However they were struck by lightning during a rainy football session and he was the lone survivor]].

** [[spoiler:Of "WebVideo/WorkinBoys" as the VillainProtagonist.]]

* Villain Protagonist: [[spoiler:Of "WebVideo/WorkinBoys"]].

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Of "The Hatchetfield Ape-Man". While he and Ted were in cahoots to scam Lucy out of her money, Hidgens is clearly the brains behind the plan while Ted has doubts and eventually abandons it. He finally snaps, kills Jonathan and Ted, and finally tries to extort then kill Lucy.]]

* EveryoneHasStandards: Tom and Becky are under Wiggly's spell like the rest of the customers in the toy store, but they're shocked at the violence displayed by the other shoppers during "Feast or Famine". [[spoiler: This, along with the fact that Becky and Tom never join the Lakeside Mall Cult are [[{{Foreshadowing}} indications]] that they're more resistant to Wiggly's influence (though not immune to it) than the rest of the shoppers.]]

* EveryoneHasStandards: Tom and Becky are just as much under Wiggly's spell as the rest of the customers in the toy store, but they're shocked at the violence displayed by the other shoppers during "Feast or Famine".

* TheCameo: Though not as easily spotted as Ted and Charlotte, Bill also appears in the closing number of ''Black Friday'', sometimes overlooked as he's not wearing the usual Bill costume, but one which was worn only briefly in TGWDLM when Bill was driving home from work.

* BumblingDad: Downplayed. He's not a Homer Simpson stereotype like the Father in ''Theatre/TheTrailToOregon'', but it really does seem like Jane was TheReliableOne who kept the family going and was [[WomenAreWiser better than him]] at everything, including [[MotherhoodIsSuperior parenting Tim]], and now that she's gone everything is falling apart. (It's definitely at least partly the grief and self-loathing telling him he's useless, but Emma [[CallBack confirmed]] in ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals'' that Jane's well-meaning competence was good at making other people feel like crap.)

* ConformingOOCMoment: Despite her immunity to Wiggly's manipulations being a major plot point, she participates in the choreography of "Feast or Famine"; most notably during the bridge where she's part of the mob circling Frank in an attempt to steal a Tickle-Me-Wiggly

* TheyKilledKennyAgain: As perhaps a natural extension of being the most recurring Hatchetfield character, he's also the one who gets killed most often, having met a brutal end in every timeline he's appeared in thus far outside of ''Theatre/BlackFriday'''s ambiguous ending and "Abstinence Camp", where his only involvement in the story is dropping off his brother [[KickTheDog somewhere close to]] the titular camp and the porno magazine he left at the camp when he went there years ago.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Tom's more of a ClassicalAntihero but he definitely wants her.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: In the production that ended up on Youtube, anyway; When he shows up at the parking lot of Pasqualli's, the theater audience starts cheering, prompting him to yell "Shut up!" at them.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Tom and Becky are just as much under Wiggly's spell as the rest of the customers in the toy store, but they're shocked at the violence displayed by the other shoppers during "Feast or Famine".

* NiceMeanAndInbetween: The Mean to Bill's Nice and Paul's In-Between. For whatever hints there are that he may be capable of improving himself someday, Ted's still a piece of shit. He's an abrasive hyper-sleaze who disparages his coworkers (especially poor [[LoserProtagonist Bill]]), [[spoiler:abandons someone he calls his best friend to die]] and employs absolutely no tact in [[spoiler:expressing his belief that saving Alice is a lost cause.]]

* NiceMeanAndInbetween: The Nice to Ted's Mean and Paul's In-Between. Bill is very sweet and mild-mannered, finds it difficult to threaten someone even to stand up for himself and loves his daughter more than anything in the world. [[spoiler:"Watcher World" complicates things a little: for all his affection, he doesn't really listen to what Alice has to say, doesn't seem to respect the decisions she wants to make in her life (like being a playwright or dating Deb— not because Bill doesn’t approve of same-sex relationships, but because he thinks she deserves better) and holds a lot of resentment in his heart for his ex-wife and, to some extent, Alice herself. However, he still triumphs using ThePowerOfLove in the end, and he and Alice make a commitment to being a better father and daughter to each other, making the Woodwards one of the few Hatchetfield protagonists to actually get a fully [[EarnYourHappyEnding happy ending]].]]
