3	[[folder: Mitch Kramer]]
4	An oncoming high school freshman who is often picked on by graduating or current seniors. He thankfully is accompanied by Pink who helps him adapt to High School.
5	* CharacterDevelopment: Starts off as just an incoming freshman getting picked on by seniors but through his experience becomes much more adaptable quicker than expected.
6	[[/folder]]

8	[[folder: Randall "Pink" Floyd]]
9	* BigBrotherMentor: While not brothers, he takes on this role to Mitch, inviting him to the senior party.
10	* LovableJock: He's on the football team and a really cool, friendly and laid-back guy.
11	* NiceGuy: He gets along with others, has no interest in hurting the freshman, prevents people from getting beaten up, and serves as a caring big brother mentor to Mitch.

14	[[folder: David Wooderson]]
15	* BreakoutCharacter: Wooderson has become a movie icon. His catchphrase "alright, alright, alright" is now also Creator/MatthewMcConaughey's.
16	* CatchPhrase: "Alright, alright, alright!" It even became his actor's in real life.
17	* TheCharmer: Wooderson is damn near impossible not to like due in no small part to possessing his actor's incredible charisma.
18	* CreepyGood: It seems creepy considering he is passed his high school days and likes to ogle at high school girls. With that said, he is still a person many kids look up to, because taking that out, he really is a cool and respectful guy overall.
19	* EruditeStoner: He is not nearly as much of a stoner as Slater but he has the stoner persona. Since he is older than the teenagers, he provides enough wisdom for others like "..you just got to keep living man, L.i.v.i,n"
20	* {{Ephebophile}}: Is sexually attracted to high school girls, despite being in his early 20's.
21	* TheHedonist: Wooderson doesn't seem to have any ambitions or goals beyond drinking, getting high, sleeping around and overall just having a good time.
22	* ManChild: Even though he's in his early-20's, he behaves like a stereotypical teenager and shows no signs of ever evolving past that mindset.
23	* NiceGuy: He's incredibly charming, friendly and seems to get along well with everyone.

27	* TheStoner:
28	[[/folder]]
29
30	[[folder: Jodi]]
31	* CoolBigSis: Towards Mitch and Sabrina
32	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Thanks to her pleas to the guys that they go easy on Mitch, they instead make certain that her younger brother's ass is profusely handed to him on a silver platter. {{Lampshaded}} later by Mitch when he drunkenly tells her not to ask their strict mother to go easy on him.
33	[[/folder]]
34
35	[[folder: Cynthia]]
36	* TwoGuysAndAGirl: The girl to Tony and Mike.
37	[[/folder]]
38
39	[[folder: Mike Newhouse]]
40	The philosophical nerd of the group. He is a bemused observer.
41	[[/folder]]
42
43	[[folder: Tony]]
44	* DeadpanSnarker: Observes everyone and everything with a pretty cynical eye.
45	* OnlySaneMan: Arguably the most rational of the trio. He displays little interest in partying, only reluctantly agreeing to go to the initially-planned party at Pickford's under duress from his friends, and the Moontower party because Wooderson invited Cynthia, who is his ride throughout the night. He also has no problem standing up for Sabrina against AlphaBitch Darla.
46	[[/folder]]
47
48	[[folder: Darla]]
49	* AlphaBitch: She's the head cheerleader after all.
50	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Darla is listening just as intently to [[PoliticallyMotivatedTeacher Ms. Stroud's]] parting words as are the other students.
51	* JerkAss: While the other girls do the hazing mostly out of obligation and later make friends with the very freshmen they hazed, Darla takes an almost disturbing level of pleasure in tormenting them. Both before and after the hazing.
52	* KarmaHoudini: Downplayed. Though Sabrina eventually manages to back away from her constant torment[[note]]thanks to Tony's encouragement[[/note]], she never gets any sort of come-uppance.
53	[[/folder]]
54
55	[[folder: Fred O'Bannion]]
56	* TheBully: He goes above and beyond the other students participating in the hazing as the others see it as a good-natured rite of passage and get along well with the students after while O'Bannion never lets up on them.
57	* FatalFlaw: His bullying nature. He simply can't resist the opportunity to pick on kids which Mitch's friends use to lure him into a trap, humiliating him.
58	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Even other students his age don't seem to like him due to what a dick he is with everyone enjoying his later humiliation.
59	* HateSink: He's easily the most unpleasant and unlikable character in the film along with Darla. While other students who participate in the hazing ease up after and are even capable of being nice to the kids later, showing it's not personal or malicious, O'Bannion never lets up on being a jerk.
60	* JerkAss: The biggest one in the film, besides maybe Darla.
61	* JerkJock: He's a complete jerk who gets his kicks picking on weaker kids.
62	* LastNameBasis: He's never referred to by his first name.
63	* LaserGuidedKarma: Is utterly humiliated after Mitch Kramer's friends dump white paint on him from above. We never see him again in the film.
