Chad Vader is the younger brother of the more famous Darth Vader. Due to not being quite as authoritative and charismatic as his sibling, instead of conquering the galaxies, Chad works as the day shift manager at Empire Market, a grocery store in America. The show follows Chad's daily life trying to get along with his co-workers, who consider him a rather rude fellow, possibly due to his strange voice and his habit of force-choking those who annoy him.

* GeniusDitz: At first, Hal Thomson seems like an idiot, something not helped by his... unusual way of speaking and his tendency to ask for things grocery stores are not normally known to have. After starring in two other series running with this, he got a third of his own titled ''eHow'' where he turned out to be "an expert". Some of his... unusual skills later come into play at Empire Market including [[spoiler: pulverizing Randy and rescuing Baby Cookie in Season 3, and saving Chad's life in the Season 4 finale]].

* PaperThinDisguise: Hal invokes this unintentionally. First he mistakes an employee's apron for a "wizard's cape" and puts it on (messily) and is immediately mistaken for an employee by Maggie. Later on he is standing in the middle of the store in his usual clothes accompanied by a goat, and is again mistaken for an employee by Champion J. Pepper (HilarityEnsues as Hal gives him a tour of everything that has happened to Empire Market while dragging his goat along).

* TheDitz: Jeremy, though Hal Thompson, a rather creepy guy with large glasses and long hair who keeps randomly appearing in different parts of the store, asking for really weird things, such as live chickens (to sacrifice for a Pagan ritual) is a better example. He is also the star of his very own {{Spinoff}} series, ''Complete Idiot''.
** OlderThanTheyThink: Hal debuted in a different series that was going on simultaneously with Chad Vader called 'Fun Rangers'.
** The spin-off series "eHal" reveals that Hal is "an expert", meaning that he has some... unusual skills, many of which have to do with goats and more recently, a miniature couch... for obvious reasons.
* EnemyMine: In the season 3 finale, Chad and Clint discover there are several bombs placed around the store, forcing them to work together. Clint is about as blasé about this team-up as he is about anything else, however.

* GambitPileup: In the making with Maggie, Baby Cookie, and a returned Clint having unknown agendas sure to collide in Season 3.
** Disappointedly subverted in that the gambits neither collide, nor even reach execution. Baby Cookie is taken back by his previous owner, effectively having him PutOnABus and ending any possible gambits. Clint becomes the manager of another Empire Market store, ending his plans against Chad with the unlikely exception of a store rivalry. And Maggie is stripped of her Empire Market liaison status courtesy of J Pepper, ending any of her unknown previous plans.
* HarmlessVillain: The Marshmallow Bandito who cause minor annoyances by ''throwing marshmallows at people! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!''
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: Damien with the final Baby Cookie bomb.]]
* HypercompetentSidekick: Jeremy, who is still a little odd, but much more competent than Chad.
* [[spoiler: IronicEcho: "And who is responsible for you?"]]
* KavorkaMan: Chad manages to attract some pretty female co-workers, despite the fact that he's a deformed, rude, socially awkward nutcase who spends all of his time in a black body suit and helmet, ordering everyone around like the crew of an [[StarWars Imperial Star Destroyer]].
** [[FetishFuel Hey, some of us go for a man in uniform . . .]]
* KilledOffForReal: Weird Jimmy
* LoveTriangle: Between Chad, [[strike:Marisa]] Clarissa, and Clint in Season 1.
* MundaneUtility: In addition to being able to cut through anything, Chad's lightsaber apparently functions as a lighter.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: [[spoiler:Baby Cookie!]] Didn't see that one coming...
* SanitySlippage: What happens to those in the Night Shift Manager position with Clint being the one known exception.
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Well, the Cinespace audience, to be more precise. Thankfully, it was UnCancelled.
* ShockAndAwe: Chad gains the ability to use force lightning in the season 2 finale while seething with rage at [=Maggie=].
* ShoutOut: The store's cleaning droids constantly chant: '''[[Series/DoctorWho EXTERMINATE!!!]]'''
* SpinOff: Hal (the guy who was looking for live chickens and goat's milk) has his own show, ''Fun Rangers'' which tells the odd misadventures he has with his even weirder friend, Cody.
** Hal also became the central figure for a spin-off series called ''eHal'' (originally "eHow" but presumably changed due there being a website with that name), where he is "an expert" who he answers strange questions from fans often relating to the supernatural, such as how to catch a unicorn, how to summon a shoggoth, how to deal with calls from Cthulhu, ect. While the cast is pretty much limited to Hal (aside from occasional appearances by his rival Munt and his [[TheVoice unseen girlfriend Kritch]]), Baby Cookie, Cody, and Chad Vader have made guest appearances.
* TalkingToHimself: Matt Sloan also plays Clint. Chad is voiced by Matt but played in body by Aaron Yonda.
* TemporaryLoveInterest: [[strike:Marisa]] Clarissa (Season 1) and Libby (Season 2).
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Maggie stars in the Season 2 story arc.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Chad himself.
* VillainousBreakdown: Maggie whines upon losing her manager status. She's slightly disheaveled at Champion's awards ceremony where she gets the Night Manager position. Combine the night manager position's sanity destruction with her already borderline sociopathic personality, the breakdown is gonna snowball...
