10
11	* AlterEgoActing: Mathieu has described his alter-ego in ''Salut Les Geeks'' as having become a character in its own right, distinct from his real life persona.
12	* BrainUploading: [[spoiler: How he survives the season 5 finale]].
13	* ManOfAThousandVoices: Can go from the Geek's prepubescent voice to the Boss's deep evil laugh to the Hippie's [[IncrediblyLamePun crack]]ing voice within seconds.
14	* MotorMouth
15	* OnlySaneMan: The host is more or less the "sane" persona : he's the one who analyse the videos the most seriously and isn't there to be a gag, unlike the others.
16	* TheSnarkKnight: He's incredibly cynical and snarky.
17	* TalkingToThemself:...and they all represent not different characters, but part of his personality.
18	* TraumaticHaircut: Receives one [[spoiler: in the asylum]] in the beginning of season 5.
19
20	!! The Boss
21
22	A scary sexually-obsessed businessman that you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley.
23
24	%%* BadassInANiceSuit:
25	* CoolShades: Can overlap with SinisterShades, given his personality.
26	%%* DepravedBisexual:
27	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness[=/=]{{Flanderization}}: First appeared in the 4th episode, as a cynical businessman (without any sexual lines),then turned to a man who always talked about seeing the whores, and eventually became a creepily sexually-obsessed guy who would do anything.
28	* ExtremeOmnisexual: Girls, boys, kids, old people, animals and even objects are not a problem for him.
29	* EyeScream: In #69, he removes (offscreen) his sunglasses, and Mathieu is squicked by what he sees. According to the Boss' reaction, he has piercings on his eyeballs.
30	* FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome: After [[spoiler: Mathieu's death]], he renounces his depraved lifestyle and settles for what he describes as a ''healthy, legal and monogamous relationship'', with a wife and daughter. It doesn't last.

32	* HehHehYouSaidX: Often laughs when the host dops a naughty word.
33	* ParentalIncest: Claims to have done it with his Mother.
34	* RapeAsComedy: Most of the times, anything he says or does is about sex, whether you want it or not. And it's implied he raped the Geek at one point, if [[ScrewYourself that's even possible]].
35	* {{Satan}}: In a CrossOver episode of ''Minute Papillon'' including the ''Salut les Geeks'' cast, he is revealed to be him. As it is from a crossover in another show, it may be not canon.
36	* SharpDressedMan: Always wears his business suit. Regarding his status as the team's pervert, it makes you wonder what kind of business he's in...
37	* SinisterShades: He's the most "evil" of the whole cast (like when he tried to torture the Geek just for fun), and always wears his dark sunglasses.
38	* VerbalTic: Tends to end his sentences with ''"gamin"'' ("kid")
39
40	!! The Geek
41
42	A young idealistic nerd and designated victim of the show.
43
44	* ButtMonkey: If anyone has to be tortured/mocked/bullied/humiliated/abused (sexually or not) for the purpose of a gag, it will be him. And the other doesn't really seem to care or display any respect for him.
45	* DeadpanSnarker: His initial personality. [[CharacterizationMarchesOn It didn't last]].
46	* InnocentBlueEyes: Of the main 4, he's probably the nicest and the only one without sunglasses, with Mathieu Sommet's own blue eyes which makes him look like an innocent kid, fitting the character.
47	* OlderThanTheyLook: In one episode, it's revealed he's sterile and has a high voice since he tried to do the splits when he was thirteen. ''He's 43''.
48
49	!! The Hippie
50
51	Just a crazy stoner, "bro".
52
53	* AGodAmI: After [[spoiler: Mathieu's death]], he creates his own religion preaching peace and respect, and becomes the god of said religion. While he succeeds in gaining many followers, they take his preaching a [[PoliticalOvercorrectness little too seriously]] and end up [[HeWhoFightsMonsters ruthlessly persecuting anyone who disagrees with them.]]
54	* NiceGuy: Arguably the nicest of all Mathieu's personalities.
55	* TheStoner: As any stereotypical hippie, he smokes. A lot. And sometimes, not-so-legal stuff.
56	* VerbalTic: Almost always ends his sentences with ''"gros"'' ("bro")
57
58	!! Master Panda
59
60	A panda who can sing, and does it very well.(Actually just Mathieu in a panda outfit but let's pretend we didn't notice). He's got his own sequence, ''L'instant Panda'', at the end of each video since season 4. In season 6, he [[spoiler: quits his job and decides take over the world and Mathieu's show.]]
61
62	* AscendedExtra: He appeared from time to time in the earlier seasons, but from season 4 onward he got his own sequence at the end of each episode, to replace the Scientist.

66	* TheCastShowOff: His sequence ''L'instant Panda'' consist of making a song about the previous video, and showing the world that he can sing.
67
68	!! The Girl
69
70	The only girl, and that's all.
71
72	* CrosscastRole: Like the other characters, she's played by Mathieu Sommet.
73	* DemotedToExtra: Was removed after the end of season three, probably because both the audience and [[CreatorBacklash the creator]] found her not funny enough and sometimes sexist. She also didn't have much personality aside from being "the girl", compared to the rest of the cast.
74	** In the (probably not canon) CrossOver with ''Minute Papillon'', the Girl's shirt and a skull with the wig used for the role are found by the Prof in catacombs.
75	** A character wearing the same disguise (minus the fake breasts) appeared a couple of times in later seasons, with very few lines (and sometimes not a all). She probably is meant to represent a female character when the presence of one is needed in a scene, instead of being the same character.
76	* DumbBlond
77	* GirlsWithMoustaches: Since she's played by a man, it can happen sometimes when Mathieu didn't shave.
78	* ShooOutTheNewGuy: Played straight. She was introduced late in the show, quickly became unpopular to both the audience and the creator and then unceremoniously vanished.
79	* TheSmurfettePrinciple
80
81	!! The Prof
82
83	The host of ''La Science Infuse'', a sequence that tried to explain strange questions from viewers with even stranger theories. Later replaced by ''L'instant Panda''

86	* EnemyMine : In season 6, he [[spoiler: joins forces with Master Panda to take revenge for being fired, ''despite'' the Panda being the reason he was kicked off the show.]]
87	* MadScientist: When asked simple questions, his explanations tends to be crazy but makes perfect sense in his mind.
88	* SmartPeopleWearGlasses
89
90	!! The Redneck
91
92	A racist, sexist, homophobic and above all not particularly smart guy. First seen in season 5, he features more heavily in season 6.
93
94	* AngryWhiteMan : His most defining characteristic.
95	* BarbarianLongHair
96	* DumbBlonde

126	* EvenEvilHasStandards: He is genuinely horrified when the Masked Man proposes to have Mathieu Lobotomised.
127	* PsychoPsychologist:
128	* ObliviouslyEvil: He is convinced Mathieu will benefit from his treatment and does not find out until near the end of the Masked Man's true motives.

144
145	Yet another mysterious man, this time with a triangle tattooed on his right arm.
146
147	* AmbiguouslyEvil: his goals are never made clear, and what little we see him do could only makes things more vague. For example, he [[spoiler: leads Dr. Frederic and the masked man to Mathieu, leading to his death]], but at the same time [[spoiler: convinces the doctor to use a machine that enables Mathieu to survive his death]].
148	* [[Doppelganger]]: In the season 6 trailer, it is revealed that he [[is identical in appearance to Mathieu]], the only physical differences being his tattoo and his eyes.
