**David the Shark: A sales guy who writes long Linkedin posts wherein he refers to himself in the 3rd person while dropping as many shark/fish puns as he can.
**Michael Noland: A classic rock guy who hosts “The Bottom Line”, a Youtube show where he posts videos detailing his very linear thoughts on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Led Zeppelin, and The Beatles, and basically nothing else.
**Tom and Bunny: A middle-aged swinger couple that gives tours of various sex clubs on their Youtube channel.
**Tony K.: A native of Vancouver, British Columbia who will write one-star Yelp reviews for restaurants that have rock music on the speaker system or serve his water at too cold a temperature.
*{{Foil}}: Chris to Bryan and sometimes the guests of the episode.
**In the "Real Or Fake" PopQuiz of Hot Sauce Guys, Chris automatically guessed the opposite of whatever the show's guests, The Dough Boys, had selected for almost every question. [[spoiler: He only got 3 questions right and lost handily.]]
*FormulaBreakingEpisode: Averted. Bryan said that the very first episode (Sex Guys) was almost this as he found women were more likely to review sex board games and toys than men, but he just wanted the show to be about guys.
*HateSink: Creator/CountJackula from the Horror Guys episode rubbed everyone the wrong way with his openly horny antics.
**The Loss Prevention Guy who posts videos of him in a parking lot telling stories about times he's stopped shoplifters in whatever store he's parked in front of also got a lot of revile, although his persona was depressing enough that some people just started feeling sorry for him by the time the episode ended.
*HoYay: Given the title of the Podcast, most of the fan reviews tend to have a lot of this.
*NiceGuy: For all the teasing Bryan gets about his flubs, bizarre tastes in pop culture and spending habits, everyone who's worked with him states that he's a solid guy and easy to get along with.
*PopQuiz: Some episodes feature Bryan playing a game called "Real or Fake?" with Bryan reading off the name of a product related to that show's theme (i.e. an alleged brand of hot sauce) and Chris and the show's guests must decide whether the name is real or if Bryan made it up.
*RunningGag: Plenty.
**Bryan identifying as a Canadian or Los Angeleno, even though he’s lived his whole life in Ohio and has only visited those places on rare occasions.
**Bryan being a sex guy and a regular visitor to Hedonism II, which he heatedly denies. Some fans have even offered to set up a Go Fund Me to pay for a trip for Bryan to Hedonism II.
**Whenever Bryan brings up his career working for a cable company, Chris will immediately reference Film/TheCableGuy and suggest that Bryan was a lot like Creator/JimCarrey's character in that movie.
*SpecialGuest: Each episode comes with a special guest commentator, usually someone who brings enough knowledge of the subject matter without necessarily being a “guy” themselves.
*TheScrappy: Chris has risen to this level for some of the listeners. While some fans appreciate his dry humor and commentary, many others have expressed their frustrations with him regularly interrupting the show with his own bits, overexplaining the running gags to that week’s guest almost every week, killing jokes, teasing Bryan excessively or [[{{Anvilicious}} shoehorning his political beliefs]] into what was supposed to be an apolitical show.
