History Characters / ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaRecurringCharacters

* ArtifactName: Continues to be referred to as "the Waitress" even though it’s currently ambiguous if she even still works as one. PlayedForLaughs as it's deliberately done to emphasis both the Gang's indifference to her and her own status as a ForgettableCharacter.

* CainAndAbel: He and his brother can’t stand each other, and Davy’s non-belief in Cricket helps (along with the pcp he smoked) him hallucinate a woman who is really a dog.

The unrequited object of Charlie's affections. Initially employed at a coffee shop near Paddy's, the Gang's meddling causes her life to go downhill.

* AlcoholInducedBisexuality: In "The Gang Beats Boggs: Ladies Reboot", right before she passed out, she tries to make out with Dee, while thinking she’s Dennis.

* ArtifactName: Continues to be referred to as "the Waitress" even years after she has stopped working as one. PlayedForLaughs as it's deliberately done to emphasis both the Gang's indifference to her and her own status as a ForgettableCharacter.

** The very first episode is kickstarted by her being offended by (what she mishears as) Charlie's racism, and sticking up for the girl he's using to try and get with her. Whatever faults she might have in common with the Gang, she's not prejudiced like they are.

* FromBadToWorse: Employed much more subtly than with Cricket. As she continues to appear her living situation gets substantially worse, with her falling into alcoholism and drug addiction. She is living in a women's shelter by Season 12 and it’s unknown if her living situation has improved since (although in Season 15 she seemed to be able to afford to travel to Ireland to backpack). Interestingly, she is one of the few characters whose declining life ''can't'' be directly tied back to the Gang (though they certainly haven't been helping her), and it's suggested her problems are mostly her own.

* BuxomBeautyStandard: Uses some of Dennis' alimony checks to give herself breast implants, which end up drawing a lot of focus from other characters.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Agrees to help Dee out of a bog on the grounds that she isn't a psychopath like Dee is. Dee predictably returns her kindness in the worst way possible.

* TheChewToy: Every season, he suffers from progressively worse injuries, from getting the side of his his throat slashed, to getting shot, to getting ''half his face burned off''.

* AlcoholInducedBisexuality: Deciding to drink herself to death, she tries to make out with Dee, while thinking she’s Dennis.

* TransgenderFetishization: Carmen is a MTF transgender woman and is very attractive. Often played up for {{Fanservice}} and PlayedForLaughs.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Turns out Pepper Jack is a big fan of ''Series/FraggleRock''.

* {{Jerkass}}: He says some very nasty put downs pretty much every time he appears. Completely justified though, since we only ever see him when he's dealing with the Gang, who he immediately recognizes as a group of depraved morons.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's very easy-going and seems to view Dennis with bewilderment rather than rivalry; but once Dennis starts trying to seduce his wife and accusing him of things [[spoiler: that he didn't do]], he doesn't mince words in calling him out and breaking his delusions that he was [[spoiler: one of the cool kids]]. It's probably the heaviest humiliation delivered to anyone in the Gang in an [[HumiliationConga episode rife with them]]. He also calls Mac and Charlie by their insulting nicknames of "Ronnie the Rat" and "Dirtgrub", but then again everyone else was and he wasn't actively bullying them during the reunion (nor back in high school, presumably).

* NiceGuy: As we now know, [[spoiler: Dennis was seen as a weird megalomaniac by the cool kids]]. Tim's gracious enough to assume Dennis has matured and eagerly introduces him to his wife, only speaking ill of him when he's gone out of his way to antagonize them.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Of the popular kids. There's no evidence he participated in Adriano's bullying, he definitely didn't take part in it at the reunion, and he [[spoiler: didn't sleep with Dennis's Prom date]]; he's by all accounts the nicest and most well-adjusted of his clique.

Dee's hedonistic and uninhibited friend from her acting classes. Artemis is overly serious about her craft and displays bizarre habits and outbursts. She is very open about her sexuality and often offers to perform in the nude, even when it is unnecessary. Recently, she was involved in a sexual relationship with Frank and the two shared a food fetish. She likes having sex with bacon bits in her hair because it "makes her feel like a cobb salad." She and Frank once had makeup sex in a dumpster behind Wendy's, where she incorporated a bun. She has openly proclaimed that she has a "bleached asshole".

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Liam has a crush on Dennis, albeit in a kill him and fuck his dead body kind of way. The fact that they’re both into incest probably helps.

* TheAlcoholic: She claims to have a drinking problem. She seems to have it in check, but the few times she slips up, she ''really'' goes overboard.

* SixthRanger: She's basically the only recurring character to have any sort of positive relationship with the Gang, and occasionally joins in on their schemes in some capacity.

* FacialHorror: The first time we see him in Season 8, he has a scar over his eye, which he got from an off-screen incident that was, for once, entirely his fault. After his fate in "The Gang Squashes Their Beefs," his face is now disfigured

--> Cricket: So, you're gay now? For pay or for free?
--> Mac: For free, I guess.
-- Cricket: Chump.

* ConditonedToAcceptHorror: In season three, he’s depressed by his terrible circumstances, but by season ten, he won’t stop talking casually about being raped on the streets.

* TookALevelInJerkass: By season 14 he’s willing to push a suicidal man off the roof when even the Gang are uneasy with it. They’ve been a bad influence on him.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: She shows a recurring interest in Dennis and even Mac, who are both openly disgusted by her. Despite this, [[AnythingThatMoves they still slept with her]].

* AmicableExes: In "The Gang Goes Bowling" ||Spoiler:While Dennis claims Charlie's presence will psyche out the Waitress, he amicably compliments her hair and while she manipulates him, it's more for the game than out of personal animosity.||

* AmicableExes: In "The Gang Goes Bowling" [[Spoiler:, While Dennis claims Charlie's presence will psyche out the Waitress, he amicably compliments her hair and while she manipulates him, it's more for the game than out of personal animosity.]]

* NiceGuy: Ben is just a sweet guy who's very considerate and pleasant to be around. He was very nice to Dee until he realized she was a jerk. At one point, he offered to help her when she had some trouble walking after falling down.
