Manipulative Bitch: Pretends to be a sex offender to trick Steve and his friends into working for her for free, so she could flip the house she bought for a huge profit. And it's implied that she's done this, successfully, multiple times!
Ms. Fanservice: Intentionally invokes this.
Mrs. Robinson: Pretends to be one
The Reveal: She isn't actually a sex offender, she just pretends to be one to trick horny teenage boys into working for her for free. She's actually a House Flipper.
Trickster Mentor: Styles herself as one, claiming that because of her, the boys learned all about construction and home renovation.
Vanity License Plate: One that says "lil teez."
Walking Spoiler: So much of her character hinges around The Reveal.

Henry

Voiced by: Masam Holden

A 9-year-old boy who tried to make Roger his alien.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: At first he treated Roger nicely but it didn't take long for him to become abusive towards him.
Book Dumb: According to Roger, his grades have "improved dramatically'' thanks to tutoring.
Creepy Child: He is 9 years old but is very manipulative and violent when he doesn't get his way.
Domestic Abuse: He begins abusing Roger, yelling at him and beating him up over anything he doesn't like and manipulates him with false apologies to keep him from leaving.
Freudian Excuse: It's hinted that his abusive nature is a result of being neglected by his mother.

Hector Aldozar

A poor but talented dancer who lives on the small tropical Isla Island.

Beware the Silly Ones: Originally appears to just be a silly one-off gag after Roger assumed the role of the islands dictator and changes the anthem to Banarama's song "Venus", with Hector proving himself to be the best dancer on the island. He reappears at the end, having been chosen as the new leader, only for the last shot to reveal that he quickly became the most brutal dictator Isla Island had ever seen.
Fat Bastard: Despite his dancing skill, not to mention wearing a mesh top like a stereotypical club dancer, he has a notable gut.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Stan causing the accidental death of the original dictator, General Juanito Pequeño, and tricking Roger into taking his place, leads directly to Hectors tyrannical reign in the aftermath.
Red Baron: Became known as "El Balarin De La Muerte", or "The Dancer Of Death".
Tyrant Takes the Helm: Stan and Rogers misadventures leads to Hector seizing power after they leave.

Ron/Daniel/Dirk/Hank Turlington

Voiced by: Forest Whitaker ("Meter Made" - "Live and Let Fry"), Craig Robinson ("My Purity Ball and Chain")

An soft-spoken yet intimidating detective character who’s often slow to react.

Achilles' Heel: If it weren't for the fact he's extremely slow on the uptake, he would be an extremely competent detective.
Cloudcuckoolander:
Turlington: Enjoying your coffee, Smith?
Stan: I'm not drinking coffee.
Turlington: I'm just testing. See, if you were a liar, you might say you were enjoying your coffee. Maybe even take a drink from an imaginary cup.
Stan: ... Who are you, and why do you freak me out?
The Dreaded: Any time he shows up, the Smiths have to work hard to keep him from ever finding out the illegal things they're pulling out in the episode.
Flat Character: Every episode where he has a speaking role has him doing the exact same shtick: Being highly suspicious of the illegal things he believes the Smiths are doing, but easily gullible due to his slow up taking that they're able to fool him and get away with their actions.

Properly Paranoid: He's always suspicious about whatever case he's assigned to, and suspects correctly, and lets his suspects know that.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Heinrich Brown from "Rubberneckers".

Sergei Kruglov

Voiced by: Steve Hely

Stan's communist neighbor.

Aborted Arc: The ending scene of "Red October Sky" seemed to imply that he was set up to be a recurring character and Sitcom Arch-Nemesis to Stan. But outside of a brief speaking cameo in "Roy Rogers McFreely", he ultimately faded off into the same levels of obscurity as his fellow neighbors the Whites and the Memaris and has never been seen again excluding three non-speaking cameos in "Shallow Vows," "Paranoid_Frandroid," and "Stan & Francine & Connie & Ted".
Arch-Nemesis: To Stan.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: When Sergei moves in, he at first seems to have accepted the boys of capitalism. But those were all bullshit stories to gain Stan's trust and convert Steve to communism.
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: He never appears again after season 5 except a on the toilet cam in “Paranoids Frandroid” taking a shit, and in "Stan & Francine & Connie & Ted."
Friendly Enemy: They may be mortal enemies, but Sergei happily gives Stan the important-looking mail that was accidentally delivered to his house.

Stelio Kontos

A Greek bully who made Stan's life miserable.

Always Someone Better: Despite Stan being a trained CIA agent, Stelio is shown to be physically stronger and a better fighter than him.
Barbaric Bully: Takes it to extreme measures. He mops the floor with Stan.
Bully Brutality: He does such things to Stan as repeatedly slamming his head into a metal rocking horse at the park.
The Bully: He was Stan's in High School. And in a later episode, Steve's.
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: After the episode "The Full Cognitive Redaction of Avery Bullock by the Coward Stan Smith" he is never seen again, until "Jeff & the Dank-Ass Weed Factory".
Expy: Of Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men.
The Dreaded: One of the few people the unstable and unfeeling Stan Smith is genuinely afraid of.
He Who Must Not Be Heard: In all of his appearances, not once does he ever speak at all.
Hidden Depths: Shown to be a skilled pianist in "Love, American Dad Style."
Karma Houdini: Never got his comeuppance for bullying Stan. He recently added Steve to his list in an off-screen moment.
Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up: He's still someone Stan fears even into adulthood.
Theme Music Power-Up: Stelio... Stelio KON-TOS! Stelio... Stelio KON-TOS! Rerecorded (on-screen!) to include Steve's bully Luis' name when they team up.
Would Hurt a Child: Twice in "The Full Cognitive Redaction of Avery Bullock by the Coward Stan Smith". Originally Roger has him beat up Steve so that the aforementioned's current bully can reject Konto's sloppy seconds. When Luis (Steve's current bully) does reject beating him up, Steve sends him to beat up Stelio... Only for the two of them to team up and beat up Steve due to Luis fawning over Kontos being a bully legend.
The Quiet One: He is never heard speaking. A Flashback in "Criss-Cross Applesauce" shows him talking with someone, but Steve's musical narration covers up what he's saying.

Parker Deay

A guy who goes to the same college as Hayley who yells Bazooka Sharks a lot.

Ascended Extra: Has been appearing a lot in recent episodes.
The Danza: Shares a name with his voice actor, series producer and script editor Parker Deay.
Recurring Extra: He is basically just a random man who yells a lot and has a lot of jobs, but appears frequently.

Mauricio

Voiced by: Diego Luna

An attractive young Hispanic man that Hayley briefly is "benefits" with until he gets abducted by Francine's "poltergasm".

Black Comedy Rape: It's strongly implied that when Francine's poltergasm abducts him that it's using him for sex.
Butt-Monkey: Spends most of the episode in the "poltergasm's" clutches as its "love slave", when he's finally freed, he's killed almost instantly.
Hope Spot: Happens twice; first when Ruby, Hayley, and Steve pull him out of the "ghost realm" only to have the poltergasm wrap its tongue around him and pull him back in. Second when the poltergasm is thwarted, sending him flying into the sky, cheering "I'm free!" only to land in the street, breaking his neck and back, killing him.
Mr. Fanservice: Tall, tan, and handsome with a suave Hispanic accent and almost always seen without his shirt on, in his underwear, or nude.
Sex Slave: Strongly implied to have been turned into one by the poltergasm when he's pulled into the other dimension.

Mayor Alan Woodside

Voiced by: Will Forte ("Every Which Way But Lose"), Eric Edelstein ("The Mural of the Story" and "Railroaded")

The mayor of Langley Falls. He was killed off in “Railroaded."

Animal Motifs: Stan compares him to a toad.
Ascended Extra: Originally just a one-shot character, before reappearing a couple times.
Killed Off for Real: As of “Railroaded”.
Nice Guy: He’s pretty nice.

Suze and Trish

Voiced by: June Diane Raphael (Suze) and Casey Wilson (Trish)

The hosts of Morning Mimosa. Trish is the blonde, and Suze is the brunette.

Lady Drunk: Both of them tend to be pretty drunk on set, somewhat justified since this is the show's gimmick.
Out of Focus: In the 2019 season, they don't appear very much.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: At least when they were prevalent. With Terry being written out of the show (since Mike Barker quit) and Greg sidelined, these two have pretty much replaced them as the recurring eccentric TV personalities.
Took a Level in Kindness: In their debut episode, “Morning Mimosa”, they are super rude to all their guests, after that they aren’t always rude but still have their moments.

Tank Bates

Voiced by: Kevin Michael Richardson

Terry’s father, a legendary football player, who's also extremely homophobic.

Good Parents: Tank and Terry appeared to have a pretty good relationship, but that all went out the window when he learned Terry was gay.
Hate Sink: He's unapologetically homophobic and has no Freudian Excuse for his dislike of homosexuality (He's not a religious fundamentalist, he knows that gay people are born that way and he's not an Armored Closet Gay). He just thinks it's gross and intolerable, to the point where he disowns his own son.
Hypocrite: Terry implies that Tank doesn't approve of premarital impregnation, yet Tank is later revealed to be a notorious womanizer who'll sleep with almost any woman he comes across.
I Have No Son!: He disowns Terry for his sexuality. No matter how much Stan tries to reason with him, he refuses to accept Terry for who he is.
Jerkass: He disowned his son only because he’s gay. Making matters worse, there's no Freudian Excuse at play here, he just thinks that two men being in a sexual relationship is disgusting.
Put on a Bus: After Terry left the show there’s no reason for him to appear.
Politically Incorrect Villain: In addition to his brazen homophobia, he's also noticeably sexist, as he calls Francine a "crazy broad".
Villain with Good Publicity: All his fans love him no matter what he says or does.

Qui-Lo

One of Roger’s friends. He's an expert chef who happens to be a midget.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Hasnt appeared at all since the show moved to Creator/TBS.

Robby

A mentally handicapped guy who has a mountainbike.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: His last appearance was Hiko’s last speaking appearance.

Beauregard Le Fontaine

Voiced by: Leslie Jordan

A midget who rides a dog named Montague.

Jerkass: He looks down on others, only catering to the most influential people. And in "Irregarding Steve", he insulted Stan's intelligence non-stop.
Killed Off for Real: Was killed in the bus crash in "100 AD."
Laser-Guided Karma: His relentless mockery of Stan leads to Steve snapping and beating him up.

Montague

Beauregard’s dog.

Killed Off for Real: Was killed in the bus crash in "100 AD."

Shawn Ian Kherkoff

A man who's been restoring a DeLorean car just like Stan, with only a door missing.

And Then What?: Stan lets him have the door at the end, realizing that if he were to finish the car, he wouldn't be able to continue working on it as a hobby with Steve.
Fan Boy: Unlike Stan, who genuinely just likes the DeLorean model for itself, Kherkoff is clearly a fan of Back to the Future, since his car is an actual replica of Doc Brown's, complete with props.
Victory Is Boring: Stan implies Kherkoff will face this problem now that his car in finished.

Santa Claus

Voiced by: Matt McKenna

An evil version of Santa who bears a grudge against the Smiths after Stan and Steve accidentally killed him. Every Christmas special, he appears.

Affably Evil: Zigzagged. He appears affable and jolly enough so as long as you're not on his bad side. But tends to stray into Faux Affably Evil territory once you form animosity with him, or if you happened to know his real intentions underneath it all, only for enmity to be revealed afterwards once the gig is up and/or no longer needed.
Ambiguously Human: It is revealed that all his magic power comes from his coat but he reveals in the next Christmas special that he shits coal. Though that may just be a bye product of the magic.
Anachronism Stew: Santa stated he had an alarm clock as a child (which was invented in 1787) this implies he is over 200 years old at most. However, the concept of “Santa Claus” first arrived in the U.S. in 1773, inspired by the Germanic Sinter Klaas. But in “Into the Jingleverse” he claims to be 2,000 years old.
Arch-Enemy: To the entire Smith family. As of "Santa, Schmanta", his grudge extends to both Snot and the entire Jewish community. It's strongly implied that he just sees his targets as simply more important to him to eliminate before doing so with the rest of the world.
Back from the Dead:
- His debut episode has him revived by his elves after Steve and Stan accidentally shoot him.
- He is revived again in Santa Schmanta due to needing to stop Roger who stole his suit and turned Hanukkah into what he sought to do to Christmas.
Bad Boss: He doesn't treat his elves very well. But they don't seem to care, as long as they remain on his good side and live. Atleast at first.
Bad Santa: Pretty much the "arch-nemesis" type of each Christmas Episode he appears in.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Has held the 'Jolly Saint Nick' persona up long enough to fool almost anyone who isn't aware that he's an evil and corrupt version of a Bad Santa. Especially if you do not know of his real operations and/or if you haven't formed any animosity with him.
Clothes Make the Superman: Whoever wears his coat and hat becomes the next Santa and gains the required holiday magic powers. If the person is Jewish they become a Jewish Santa (the coat turns blue and they gain the power to make hanukkah decorations).
Didn't Think This Through: He spent years seeking out the eyes of Humbaba, believing that returning them to the monster's head would grant him great power. Instead, it revived Humbaba, who went on a destructive rampage, wrecking his whole operation.
Entitled Bastard: In "Ninety North, Zero West", he fully expected Jack to save him after everything he did to the Smiths.
Evil Is Petty: He never forgets, and he never forgives.
Flanderization: He initially had a justifiable grudge against the Smiths, having been killed by Stan. But as time went by, his villainy increased, from giving toys to all kids, regardless of them being naughty or nice, so his stocks in toy companies would improve, to kidnapping children and having them dig in his mine for mystical artifacts that he planned to use to Take Over the World.
Fisher King: When he dies the first time it no longer feels like Christmas. Though in “Santa, Schmanta” where he’s been dead for a year everyone seems to be enjoying Christmas all the same.
Hoist by His Own Petard: He initially only started his toy delivery operation as a cover to find Hunbabba and take over the world. Since that failed he is now stuck with the job of making and delivering toys every Christmas. He tries to get out if it in “Into The Jingleverse” by developing a Lotus-Eater Machine to give to everyone on earth as Christmas presents so he won’t have to make toys anymore. But unfortunately since he used it to trap so many elves who displeased him, the head elf (who is actually dedicated to the job) turns on him and traps HIM in the jingleverse.
I Lied: He agrees to let go of his grudge against the Smiths if Stan helps him get rid of Krampus for good. But once Krampus is dead he tries to kill Steve and Stan anyways.
It's All About Me:
- He doesn’t seem to mind his elves and reindeer dying in his debut episode as long as he gets a chance to kill the Smiths. He only gets worse from there.
- His second appearance even has him shouting “Every man for himself!” While running after being shot.
Legacy Character: Whoever puts on his coat becomes the new “Santa”.
A Million Is a Statistic: He doesn’t seem to mind hundreds of his elves, snowmen, and reindeer dying in his debut episode as long as he gets a chance to kill the Smiths.
Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: He is finally betrayed by the elves in “Into the Jingleverse” where they choose to leave him in a virtual world while they free the elves he imprisoned there. There’s also the fact that Santa wasn’t revived by the elves after the Humbabba incident unlike how they revived him in his debut episode, suggesting that Santa carelessly destroying the North Pole and killing many elves finally got them fed up with him.
Never My Fault: He blamed the Smiths for him not getting Humbabbas power and his factory being destroyed. Even though he was wrong about what returning Hunbabbas eyes would do and the Smiths were prisoners the whole time. In fact, them killing Humana allowed him to free himself which he doesn’t acknowledge.
Only in It for the Money: He cares nothing for if kids are naughty or nice. As long as it keeps giving him the money he desires. And will do anything to keep anything or anyone from hindering and intervening his way of life. Even murdering Krampus.
Psychopathic Manchild: Despite his age, Santa whines and throws massive tantrums when he loses to the Smiths. In fact, his whole revenge against the Smiths and refusal to move on is one big tantrum.
Take Over the World:
- His entire operation of delivering gifts to kids on Christmas was really just a cover for his goal of finding Humbabba in hopes of healing the power he needs to take over the world. Specifically saying he will also end Christmas forever now that it would serve him no purpose.
Ungrateful Bastard: The Smiths revive him and get him back his magic coat in “Santa Schmanta” but he still vows to kill them (even though their whole vendetta was because they accidentally killed him once and his second death was due to his own clumsiness). He outright tells Stan that he doesn’t do truces, they slighted him once so no matter what he will never stop trying to kill them in return.
Villain Has a Point: In "Into The Jingleverse", he tricks Stan into giving his family "Jolly Goggles" that trap them in the Jingleverse and can't be taken off. When Stan calls him out on it, Santa retorts that Stan was so obsessed with retaining his title as "King of Presents" that he probably would have agreed to anything. He's not wrong.
Would Hurt a Child: He enslaves children to do his dirty work, and is not above whipping or killing them should they try to get on his bad side. He also attempts to kill Steve and later Snot on the occasions he interacts with the Smiths and their friends.

Nemo/The Antichrist

Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker

Hayley's adopted son, and the spawn of the devil, fated to battle Jesus at the end of days.

Affably Evil: In adulthood, he's based on the 60s portrayal of the Riddler, being a flamboyant and effeminate villain who is impossible to be taken seriously despite supposedly being evil incarnate.
The Antichrist: Exaggerated to the point of literality. While Jesus Christ is intelligent, manly and serious, the Antichrist is an effeminate Cloudcuckoolander.
Death by Irony: Attempts to invoke this on Jesus by having him drown in land.
Durable Deathtrap: Subverted. He designs a trap to drown Jesus in land, but it quickly crumbles under its own weight.
Anti: See? You were a carpenter, and I'm not handy at all!
Sdrawkcab Name: Nemo is "omen" spelled backwards.
Shout-Out:
- The Antichrist's outfit resembles that of The Riddler.
- Nemo's name and backstory are a parody of The Omen.

June Rosewood

Voiced by: Kate Mulgrew

An elderly actress who meets Stan and Francine when they take a trip to Hollywood. She believes Stan's the reincarnation of her husband Leonard Zane and convinces Stan to help her complete the last movie they worked on before Leonard mysteriously died.

Abhorrent Admirer: June makes not-so-subtle advances to Stan, who is repulsed by her due to her age and because's a psychotic murderer.
Accidental Murder: Stan and Francine tried to mess with her but ended up running her over with the motorboat by mistake.
All for Nothing: She murdered Leonard and Gloria to keep them apart, ridding her of an acting partner whose talent she could leech off of and turning her into a withered has-been. She then discovers decades later her victims had been reincarnated and found each other all over again, showing they were destined to be together no matter what June did.
Asshole Victim: Considering she's a vengeful lunatic who murdered her husband and his lover out of jealousy by letting them drown in the ocean, lusted after Stan, and then tried to do the same to him and Francine, it's safe to say no one feels sorry for her getting shredded by a motorboat.
Ax-Crazy: She drowned Leonard and Gloria after Leonard dumped her, and years later she drugs Stan and planned to drown Francine to keep Stan to herself.
Bad "Bad Acting": She claims she was a famous comedic duo with Leonard, but her roles consisted of entering Leonard's scenes and calling everything ridiculous. June finds this hilarious.
The Bore: June had no real presence in her movies aside from acknowleding Leonard's antics as ridiuclous, being more of a commentator than an actor.
Green-Eyed Monster: Towards Gloria Delmar, a supporting actress who had a substantial routine with Leonard in "Marble Troubles." June's vocally dismissive of Gloria for being a bit actress, despite it being obvious Gloria had better chemistry with Leonard. She killed them both when they fell in love.
Insane Troll Logic: Regarding Gloria Delmar's talent, June asks "If she's so good why is she dead?"
Laser-Guided Karma: Murdered her husband and his lover out of jealousy (in this case because of their actual love for each and being better actors). Decades later June's now a withered shut-in living vicariously through idealized memories of her poor acting abilities, then finds out Leonard and Gloria were reincarnated in brand new bodies as Stan and Francine. When she tries to drown Stan and Francine, they get the upper hand and accidentally run her over with a motorboat.
Loving a Shadow: Falls for Stan under the impression he really is the reincarnation of her dead husband. She's not wrong.
Small Name, Big Ego: Had no real comedic talent and clearly rode on Leonard's coattails to get parts. Which is another reason why she killed Gloria Delmar, enraged Gloria had the skills to gain fame on her own and alongside Leonard.
Straight Man: What she attempted to be in her films opposite Leonard's comedic routines, but came across as too flat (though she finds herself to be hilarious).
White-Dwarf Starlet: Hasn't acted since at least the 1930s and lives in a decaying mansion with an equally elderly maid, waiting for the day she can find a substitute for Leonard to finish her last movie and relive her glory days.
Yandere: She murdered Leonard when he tried to leave her for Gloria Delmar, and then tries to murder Francine to keep Stan.

Alistair Covax

Voiced by: Chris Pine

"Welcome, Nighthawks. We've been...expecting you."

The host of "Nighthawks' Hideaway," a mysterious TV show that seems to be from the 1960s but supposedly does not exist as no official record of it can be found anywhere.

The Bad Guy Wins: At the end of "Rabbit Ears," it looks as though Stan never escaped from the TV after all when his family begins to mechanically recite quotes from Alistair.
Eldritch Abomination: Who and what he is never gets revealed other than he's a abomination disguised as the host of an old TV show.
Faux Affably Evil: He appears to be a suave, sophisticated late night TV show host with an interest in intelligent conversation and jazz music. He's really some type of demonic entity that keeps trapping people within his show, and if they disrupt him too much he eats them.
I'm a Humanitarian: He devours anyone who disrupts the show during the "Commercial break."
Knight of Cerebus: He is completely devoid of anything resembling comedic elements, and once the true nature of him and his world is revealed things only get darker from there.
Nothing Is Scarier: There's no explanation given as to how "Nighthawks' Hideaway" was created or where Alistair came from, nor do we ever see his true form. If you look carefully when he’s in the shadows chasing Stan and Tuttle, you can actually make out his face distorting into rot of sorts, fangs, and his ears becoming pointed.
One-Winged Angel: When he decides to kill Stan and Tuttle, his eyes glow red, his jaw elongates, and he begins to morph into some horrible monster. We never see what his true appearance looks like, but judging from the shape of his gigantic, clawed hand, it's pretty bad.
Politically Incorrect Villain: Since he's a dark parody of pop culture from the early 1960's, he's both casually sexist and racist, and one of the guests on his show is presenting his book, "I Loathe Lucy", which is as anti-feminist as it sounds.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: When he shifts into his real form.
Trapped in TV Land: He gets people obsessed about "Nighthawks' Hideaway" as a means to pull them inside the show.

Badass Bandolier: Wears one of these in the war against Santa.
Bestiality Is Depraved: Expresses interest in making sweet love to a reindeer, a dead one at that, before cooking it.
Cool Old Guy: He might be this trope incarnate. He’s known for making the strongest whisky known to man, immediately figures out Roger is an alien upon meeting him and teaches him his ways for no money, owns a Camaro (which he would let Roger drive if he could only fix the drive shaft) and manages to kill dozens of elves, reindeer, and a giant snowman monster by himself during the war with Santa and survives.
Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: This exchange:
Bob Todd: (gears up with weapons) I’m gonna go shoot that fat turd in the belly!
Santa Claus: I heard that, Bob Todd!
Bob Todd: (fires shotgun) I hope you did, you buttlicker!
Gun Nut: Has a cabinet full of them, with a shotgun being one of the weapons he uses in the war against Santa.
I Have Many Names: Bob Todd, Bob Todd Williams, Robert Toddford Williams, Bobby Todd if you like, Todd Willy’s fine too. Robert Todd and Bob Toddford’s all the same. If ya’ll are Mr. Williams, he won’t know what to do with it. He does however go by T-Dub at the racetrack, and all the ladies? Well, they call him Bert-Bert.
Mushroom Samba: His moonshine does this to anyone who drinks it.
Noodle Incident: He appears to harbor some kind of grudge against Santa Claus. Why is never elaborated on.
Worthless Yellow Rocks: He’s got no use for green money. In his words: “What am I supposed to do with it? Go shopping in a store and buy a record?”
