!The Gang
!!Dennis Reynolds [-(Glenn Howerton)-]
* AlliterativeName: Uses the pseudonym "Hugh Honey" in "The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis".
* AmbiguouslyGay:
** There is an episode called "Mac and Dennis Break Up." The title of the episode is only the beginning of the pseudo-romantic relationship antics.
** In "The Aluminum Monster vs. Fatty Magoo" Dennis dresses up in a tight silver dress to "properly model it", using basketballs as "breasts" and wearing bright red lipstick. He does this while listening to Rick Astley. He considers this the highest point in his life. Or, as he calls it, his "peak."
** In "America's Next Top Paddy's Billboard Model Contest" he competes to be the male model on the [[spoiler: nonexistent]] Paddy's billboard. His outfits get gayer and gayer each scene -- going from a polo to a tight grey v-neck with a black cropped vest.
** Dennis knows absolutely everything there is to know about gay sex. As seen in "The Gang Sells Out." And he considers himself to be a power-bottom.
** In the first episode of the entire series, Dennis has a drunken threesome with two men that wasn't part of the plan to get revenge on Dennis for his comments on gay men.
** In "Paddy's Pub: Home of the Original Kitten Mittens", Dennis shows up wearing a thong and shows it off to Mac. The following quote is only slightly better in context:
--->'''Dennis:''' I'm not wearin' these because I'm comfortable, I'm wearin' 'em because I wanna ''turn you on!''
** In "The Gang Reignites the Rivalry", he tells Frank that back in college, he would stick the tip of his penis in his frat brothers' mouths.
** Mac makes a plan to "plow some ass." Dennis' reaction is to smile and nod his head, seemingly totally on-board with the plan. When Mac clarifies "not gay sex" Dennis looks upset, and says he thought that's what Mac meant.
** (Not so ambiguous, eh?)
* ControlFreak: To the point of ordering dishes for the other members of the gang at restaurants.
* DeadpanSnarker: Tends to snark on the others' idiocy with callous indifference.
* {{Fetish}}: Anonymous sex, particularly glory holes. Major plot point of "Mac & Charlie Die Part 2."
* IncestSubtext: Has a weird habit of calling his sister "baby", "babe" and "babygirl." They also slow-dance in "The Gang Dances Their Asses Off".
** Though he also is the loudest of all the gang when it comes to insulting Dee and pointing out every physical flaw, and in the episode where it was implied Dennis might have unknowingly slept with her, he literally would not stop vomiting.
** "Dammit, Frank, I am NOT banging my sister!"
* {{Lolicon}}: Has an obsession with younger girls. Only dated freshman in High School.
** [[spoiler: Competes with Charlie for the affection of a 12 year old.]]
** Even when he's now in his mid thirties, he likes to go for 18 year old girls still. Charlie points out that's kind of weird.
* ManipulativeBastard
* MistakenForGay: In "The Gang Gets Racist" Terrell, Dee's friend from acting class, is quite ''interested'' in Dennis. When they turn the pub into a gay bar, his greed and vanity is perfectly comfortable with letting all the guys flirt with him as long as he was making cash and feeling good about himself.
* MistakenForMurderer: In "Mac is a Serial Killer" Dee and Dennis pretend to be serial killers and stalk The Waitress.
* NeatFreak
* {{Schemer}}: The D.E.N.N.I.S. system for seducing women. [[spoiler: Demonstrate value, Engage physically, Nurture dependence, Neglect emotionally, Inspire Hope, Separate entirely]]
* ShirtlessScene: In nearly every episode of Season 3, Dennis "pops his shirt off."
* TheSociopath: Frequently implied.
-->'''Dennis:''' I am having--this is crazy--but I'm having feelings again, like some kind of 14 year-old kid or something. I mean, you remember feelings, right?\\
'''Mac:''' Yeah. I have feelings every single day of my life.\\
'''Dennis:''' Do you?\\
'''Mac:''' Are you saying you don't have ''feelings?''
** It gets ''really'' creepy in "The Gang Buys a Boat", where Dennis tells Mac the reason they bought the boat would be so he could bring women on it and have guaranteed sex with them. By his logic, a woman would never say no to sex on a boat because of "the [[ImpliedDeathThreat implication]]."
* TedBaxter
!!Deandra "Sweet Dee" Reynolds [-(Kaitlin Olson)-]
* BackFromTheDead: After Mac, Charlie and Dee fake their own deaths, they hide in the office of Paddy's. When Frank and Dennis come in, they run out -- carrying sparklers -- and Sweet Dee yells "Surprise, bitches! We're alive and it's blowing your MINDS right now!"
* ButtMonkey: Watch any episode of this show. Any episode. If not her, then Charlie. Usually both of them.
* CharacterTics: Kicks in the air when she's angry. Stems from Frank asking to be a part of The Gang, and Dee threatening to "kick the pillars [of Paddy's] in" while kicking at Frank.
* TheChick: Sweet Dee's character was originally written to be the "voice of reason" or the "useless chick." Kaitlin Olson described the dialogue as "Rob says something funny, Charlie says something funny, Glenn says something funny, and I say 'You guys!' "
** After the first season, Sweet Dee lost all her morals and became just as depraved as her male counterparts.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: Literally in "Dennis & Dee's Mom is Dead"
* EatsBabies: Or, at least claims to in "Hundred Dollar Baby."
* FagHag: In "The Gang Gets Racist" the man she is interested in is gay. In turn, he is very interested in Dennis.
* FakingTheDead: In "Mac and Charlie Die Part 2" Dee leads Dennis to believe she has been murdered.
* FreakOut: Over ''poop'' in "Who Pooped the Bed?".
* HypocriticalHumor: Although Dee considers herself to be a compassionate liberal, in truth she is greedy and manipulative (at least from season 2 onward).
* IncestSubtext: Dennis frequently calls her "baby", "babe" or "babygirl." They also slow-dance in "The Gang Dances Their Asses Off".
** Though he also is the loudest of all the gang when it comes to insulting Dee and pointing out every physical flaw, and in the episode where it was implied Dennis might have unknowingly slept with her, he literally would not stop vomiting.
* IsThatCuteKidYours: After finding a baby in the Dumpster behind Paddy's, she and Mac decide to raise it and put it into showbiz.
** When a passerby asks his name, Mac replies with D.B. -- which is short for Dumpster Baby.
* TheLadette: She chugs beer and swears like a sailor like the rest of the boys, though she still pretends she is a glamorous starlet like the girls in SexAndTheCity
* ManipulativeBitch: We find out in "Dee Gives Birth" that she emotionally abuses men into sleeping with her.
* MistakenForMurderer: In "Mac is a Serial Killer" Dee and Dennis pretend to be serial killers and stalk The Waitress.
* OnlySaneMan: In the first season. Though they eventually made her just as depraved as everyone else, because otherwise there would be no reason why she would even associate with these people.
* ParentalIncest: She and Frank pose as an engaged couple, and even go as far as getting married. [[spoiler:Although Frank isn't Sweet Dee's biological father, it's still creepy.]]
* ShirtlessScene: "The Gang Solves The North Korea Situation."
* ShowSomeLeg: On more than one occasion, Dee dresses as a prostitute.
* WhosYourDaddy: The boys spend most of a season trying to figure out who got her pregnant. [[spoiler:Turns out she was the surrogate for Carmen the transsexual and her husband Nick]].
!!Mac [-(Rob [=McElhenney=])-]
* AbusiveParents: Mother was emotionally vacant and his father went to prison when he was 8 or 9 for dealing meth and heroin.
* AlliterativeName: Uses the pseudonym "Vick Vinegar" in "The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis".
* AmbiguouslyGay:
** There is an episode called "Mac and Dennis Break Up." The title of the episode is only the beginning of the pseudo-romantic relationship antics.
** He dated a pre-op transsexual named Carmen, and was incredibly sexually active with her.
*** Notably, in "Mac Fights Gay Marriage", he meets Carmen again post-op to discover that she's gotten married. He declares this a gay marriage to the gang. Even Charlie can see the [[FridgeLogic implications]] of this statement concerning Mac.
** Upon finding out that Charlie was molested as a child by the school's gym teacher, he wonders why he wasn't, and flirts with the man who allegedly did it.
** Insists that The Waitress dress up like Dennis before they attempt to have sex. Also, Mac insists on being the bottom.
** He's obsessed with the male physique, and chooses action films to watch purely on the muscularity of their stars.
** He's obsessed with Chase Utley. He admits, "In many ways I do love him," but insists not in a romantic way.
* BackFromTheDead
** After Mac, Charlie and Dee fake their own deaths, they hide in the office of Paddy's. When Frank and Dennis come in, they run out -- carrying sparklers -- and Sweet Dee yells "Surprise, bitches! We're alive and it's blowing your MINDS right now!"
* BadassLongcoat: "It's not a jacket, it's a duster. It's like a jacket, only it's longer, thicker, and far more badass. I look like Lorenzo Lamas, and women find it irresistible."
* TheDanza: '''Mac''' is played by Rob '''Mc'''Elhenney. We've never found out exactly what his full name is.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Mistreatment of mothers is one of the many things that set him off.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He is typically the only one to protest the scheme that the gang cooks up if it's too morally reprehensible. He also once told off Dennis and Dee for their plan to go on welfare after their unemployment runs out.
** When he wants out of the Gang's schemes he sometimes just leaves and says "I'm washing my hands of the whole situation!" He has gone back to their schemes after leaving, though.
* FakeBand: Chemical Toilet.
* FakingTheDead: "Mac and Charlie Die" Parts 1 and 2. [[spoiler: He and Charlie fake their death in order to escape from Mac's father, who they believe is trying to kill them.]]
* GlobalIgnorance: Apparently thinks Philadelphia and Detroit are states.
* HoYay: Many things Mac says can be implied to be metaphors for gay sex. He clarifies once by following a speech about "plowing some ass" with "...not gay sex."
* IncrediblyObviousBug: When he and Charlie fake their own deaths, they hide in the air-vent during their joint funeral at Paddy's, talking at full volume. This alerts Dennis that they aren't actually dead.
* IsThatCuteKidYours: After finding a baby in the Dumpster behind Paddy's, Dee and Mac decide to raise it and put it into showbiz.
** When a passerby asks his name, Mac replies with D.B. -- which is short for Dumpster Baby.
* HypocriticalHumor: Mac is a '''very''' devout Catholic. Except when he's flirting with his old gym teacher, a 50-something year old man. And when he suggests that a girl he got pregnant get an abortion.
* ManChild: While Dennis, Charlie, and Dee show shades of this as well, Mac is by FAR the biggest example. He's constantly doing childish stunts for his "Project Badass" videos, and notice how he acts anytime he shares the screen with his parents.
* MilesGloriosus
* MistakenForGay: Seen in the original pilot that was pitched to FX.
* MistakenForMurderer: The episode "Mac is a Serial Killer." He's actually [[spoiler: banging Carmen the Transexual. Again.]]
* MistakenForRacist: "The Gang Gets Racist." Need I say more?
* OnlyOneName: Mac. Just Mac. Although it's believed to be his last name, because his parents are referred to as Mrs. Mac and Luther Mac. But in "The Gang Cracks The Liberty Bell", in which Mac, Dennis and Charlie tell the story of The Gang's 1776 counterparts cracking the Liberty Bell, he is referred to as "[=MacDonald=]."
* {{Schemer}}: The M.A.C. system for seducing Dennis' castoffs. [[spoiler: Move-in After Completion]]
* SleevesAreForWimps
* SmallNameBigEgo
* [[{{ptitlel9hiod7i}} This Is For Emphasis, Bitch!]]: Frequently greets walks into Paddy's and yells "What's up, bitches?"
* TooDumbToLive: He tells a mob boss's wife that he won't sleep with her because she's gross in "The Gang Gets Whacked".
* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: He was only "allowed" to hang out with Dennis and his "cool" friends in High School because he sold them pot.
!!Charlie Kelly [-(Charlie Day)-]
* BackFromTheDead: After Mac, Charlie and Dee fake their own deaths, they hide in the office of Paddy's. When Frank and Dennis come in, they run out -- carrying sparklers -- and Sweet Dee yells "Surprise, bitches! We're alive and it's blowing your MINDS right now!"
* ButtMonkey: Watch any episode of this show. Any episode. If not him, then Sweet Dee. Usually both of them.
* ChekhovsGun: Often has some sort of crazy idea, scheme or object that's meaning isn't clear until the very end. Ex: "The Nightman Cometh"
* TheChessmaster: Mostly in "Mac bangs Dennis' Mom", but, it's still present.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: His favorite food? "Milk steak". Hobby? Magnets. Likes? Ghouls. ("You know, funny little green ghouls?") Dislikes? People's knees.
* ClusterFBomb: In "A Very Sunny Christmas" [[spoiler: Charlie repeatedly screams "DID YOU FUCK MY MOM?!" at a mall Santa, and then takes a bite out of his neck.]]
** In "Mac & Dennis: Manhunters" Charlie drops the F-bomb. It was (obviously) censored when it aired on TV, and disappointingly censored on the Season 4 [=DVDs=].
* TheDanza: '''Charlie''' Kelly is played by '''Charlie''' Day.
* DumbIsGood: Charlie is the least intelligent member of the Gang but is also the least morally bankrupt.
* ExtremeOmnivore: He doesn't deny the possibility of newspaper, credit card fragments, and wolf hair being in his stool in "Who Pooped the Bed?". In "The Gang Goes to the Jersey Shore", he drinks sunscreen.
* FakingTheDead: "Mac and Charlie Die" Parts 1 and 2. [[spoiler: He and Mac fake their death in order to escape from Mac's father, who they believe is trying to kill them.]]
* GeniusDitz: Charlie has natural piano talent and can pull off some very Machiavellian plots when properly motivated.
* HiddenDepths: Despite being functionally illiterate, he was able to compose and direct a musical in "The Nightman Cometh". He can play piano quite well and is skilled at sewing.
* IncrediblyObviousBug: When he and Mac fake their own deaths, they hide in the air-vent during their joint funeral at Paddy's, talking at full volume. This alerts Dennis that they aren't actually dead.
* LIsForDyslexia and NeverLearnedToRead: Charlie is illiterate (or at least very dyslexic), and gets more and more illiterate as the series progresses.
--> "Illiterate? What does that word even mean, dude?"
** Lampshaded by Mac in "The Gang Dances Their Asses Off" after Charlie mistakes "Prize" for "Pride" ("Your illiteracy has screwed us again, Charlie!")
* LukeIAmYourFather: In the finale of Season 2, [[spoiler: it is revealed that Frank is Charlie's real father.]]
* [[spoiler: {{Lolicon}}]]: [[spoiler: He gets engaged to a 12 year old in "The Gang Solves the North Korea Situation."]]
** [[spoiler: It should be noted that the girl didn't look twelve, drank A LOT of alcohol and Charlie was engaged to her before finding out. He immediately broke it off when he did find out.]]
*** [[spoiler: AND her first appearance is of her smoking in public. Easily misleading]]
* MadeOfIron: Charlie's mom had an abortion while pregnant with him, but he still managed to survive it, along with living through that hilariously revolting life style of his.
** He's also been electrocuted, like, 500 times according to Mac.
** Charlie ate a brownie filled with drugs, even though Mac claimed it had enough drugs in it to kill a gorilla. Charlie replied by saying "Bro, I can handle my sedatives."
** He can also take a really good beating, according to Mac and Dennis. They punched him and hit him with objects to train him for a fight.
* NiceGuy: Compared to the other main characters.
* NoIndoorVoice: After the first season, '''CHARLIE SCREAMS ALL THE TIME.'''
* PsychopathicManchild
* StalkerWithACrush: Has been obsessed with The Waitress for years. Even wrote a musical to propose to her. She has multiple restraining orders against him.
** And the actress who plays The Waitress is Charlie Day's wife.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Dennis, Mac, and Dee spend an entire episode trying to do this to Charlie when Frank tells them it's his birthday and he seems pretty depressed. Though things like taking him to a movie and a spa backfire horribly due to his insanity, they eventually find a book where he catalogs his dreams in pictographs and recreate some of the items in it. Charlie feels pretty happy.
* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: He was only "allowed" to hang out with Dennis and his "cool" friends in High School because they liked to make fun of him, and they knew he couldn't sleep with their girlfriends.
* WildCard: Given the title of by Mac and Dennis in "The Gang Solves The Gas Crisis."
!!Frank Reynolds [-(Danny [=DeVito=])-]
* AmbiguouslyGay: Tons of teasing occurs in "American's Next Top Paddy's Billboard Model".
* AxCrazy
* CatchPhrase: Repeatedly says "What's the action?" in season 2.
** Repeatedly says "Bigtime!" in season 5.
* ExtremeOmnivore: He doesn't deny the possibility of newspaper, credit card fragments, and wolf hair being in his stool in "Who Pooped the Bed?".
* {{Fetish}}: Food fetish. Has a fling with Artemis in "The Waitress is Getting Married." They put Bacon Bits in her hair to "make her feel like a Cobb Salad."
** This is also hinted at in "Mac & Charlie Die Part 2." Frank and Dennis go to an orgy, and all Frank does is eat.
** In "Who Got Dee Pregnant" Artemis and Frank experimented with food while having crazy loud sex in a dumpster.
