Faculty

    Principal Brian Lewis 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5342.jpg

The unhinged principal of Steve’s High School.


  • Adults Are Useless: The crowning example in this show. He outright encourages bullying and doesn't care when the school is under attack unless it catches his interest.
  • Apathetic Teacher: Lewis cares little for the well-being of the students, and justifies his reckless actions by saying his work is mostly administrative. Steve lampshades this by admitting to his face that he can't believe he's an educator.
  • Ascended Extra: Moved from being an incidental character to playing some part in the plots for half the episodes of Seasons 6 - 8, even being the main focus for two consecutive episodes of Season 7. This ultimately came full circle after Season 8 when he went back to being an extra.
  • Ax-Crazy: Lewis is apathetic to other people, has committed countless crimes, outright condones bullying, and entertains himself by taking drugs and performing random acts of violence. How the man got a job teaching children is an absolute mystery, he is incredibly unstable.
  • Badass Teacher: Discovered Steve had just punched an Indian exchange student (a twelve year old girl) in the face, then shattered a hot pot of coffee in Steve's face.
  • Bald of Authority: Has no hair on the top of his head and is the head authority figure at Pearl Baily High.
  • Been There, Shaped History: His life was the basis for Diff'rent Strokes, meaning that the bike shop incident did happen to him and his friend Dudley was messed up because of it.
  • Calling Your Attacks: Whenever he usually attacks somebody, he often calls out his attacks, such as the example below from "Ricky Spanish".
    Lewis: You've got some nerve showing your face around here Ricky Spanish! *slaps Ricky* Bitch slap! *front and back hand slaps* Slappity-Slap!
  • The Cartel: He used to run drugs out of Peru, and was "set" with a depraved, hedonistic lifestyle after he killed for his ruthless boss. He still not-so-secretly deals drugs and kills people as part of his trade and may be a fairly major player in the Langley underworld.
  • Celebrity Resemblance: Several people claim that Lewis has a strong resemblance to rapper Rick Ross.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: A result of Flanderization as his eccentric tendencies gradually became more and more pronounced the more he appeared.
  • Depraved Bisexual: Was "prison married" for a few years, yet doesn't necessarily admit he's solely heterosexual.
  • Ephebophile: Has professed fond memories of his time pushing cocaine and being given the pick of "girls, not women, girls" by his boss, and expresses attraction to his female students.
  • Flanderization: Went from a confident principal with a somewhat questionable past to a completely irresponsible psychopath that the show often lampshades should not be in the position that he's in.
  • The Hedonist: Almost manages to outshine Roger in this regard. He drinks, does drugs, sells drugs, gambles, enjoys all manners of depraved sex acts, and that's not even touching on his violent tendencies.
  • Ink-Suit Actor: He closely resembles his actor Kevin Michael Richardson.
  • Odd Friendship: Steve thinks he has this with Brian after he begins handling his paperwork. Even before then Steve had a tendency to refer to him by his first name. Then Brian sets him straight just before he plans on killing the two of them by explaining Steve was only his accountant.
  • Out of Focus: Has made very few meaningful appearances since Season 8.
  • Papa Wolf: Had the entire school go after Steve and his friends due to Steve's revenge on the resident Alpha Bitch and her friends ended up humiliating his daughter, whom he admits to not liking that much, but she IS his daughter and no one messes with her.
  • Undiscriminating Addict: He's happy to take any drugs, not even caring what they do.
  • Where Did We Go Wrong?: Is deeply ashamed of his daughter Janet, for "more reasons than you can imagine".
  • Would Hurt a Child: He occasionally assaults his students and in "A Ward Show" attempted to take his own life by driving into the Grand Canyon while Steve was in the car with him.
  • Wrong Line of Work: He is absolutely terrible at his job, showing very little concern for his students, and being perfectly willing to take advantage of their talents to achieve his own goals. As several episodes make it clear, he was a former career criminal and was very successful at it.

The superintendant of Pearl Bailey.


  • Kick the Dog: In her second appearance, she almost married Lewis not out of love, but so she could be city comptroller.

    Coach Keegan 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/98cf8f02_4fed_41de_abc9_d8c0e078fa83.jpeg
A coach who is hinted as being a pedophile.
  • Creepy Gym Coach: He got fired as the wrestling coach for teaching questionable wrestling methods, wrapped his arms around two male baseball players, and stared at Toshi's butt while he climbed the rope.
  • Fat Bastard: He is heavily implied to be a pedophile, but he’s more bulky than fat.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: In one episode, his face was ripped off, and he is hinted as being a pedophile.
  • Out of Focus: His latest appearance was a cameo in “The Two Hundred”.

    Clara 
Voiced by: Robin Bartlett ("Stan Knows Best"), Sally Struthers ("A Ward Show")

A former teacher of the school, blown up by Roger after she beats up Steve in "A Ward Show".


  • Killed Off for Real: Last seen in "A Ward Show", where she dies in a car bomb explosion set up by Roger.
  • Sadist Teacher: She, along with two other teachers, beat the shit out of Steve after Lewis is fired as payback for treating them poorly. Her abuse leads to Roger rigging her car to explode.

Students

    Schmuley "Snot" Lonstein 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1a09044ff84c0e9c0afdf60aeg105ed51_4216.jpg
Voiced by: Curtis Armstrong

Steve's best friend and frequent partner in crime.


  • Actor Allusion: A nerdy character with a nickname referencing Nose Nuggets played by Curtis Armstrong? Subtle, it ain't.
  • Ambiguously Bi: Just like his best friend. In fact, whenever Steve incidentally does something gay, it usually involves Snot.
  • Ascended Extra: In a way. Out of all of Steve's friends, he appears the most and is the only one to have more than one or two episodes where he is somewhat of a main character.
  • Butt-Monkey: Frequently. Notably:
    • During a prank where Hayley and Klaus convinced Steve he was lucid dreaming, Hayley calls Snot and asks him out. At the end of the episode, he shows up for the date with a limo and tux, claiming that to pay for it he had to sell all of his toys. Cue Hayley slamming the door in his face.
    • Thought he had lost his virginity to his new girlfriend. It was actually Roger in disguise, and due to Roger lacking female sexual organs, he used a stress ball to "simulate" the experience.
    • His family life is a wreck. His father died and showed Snot had a strained relationship that made him not care about him. His mother is frequently doing weird stuff. And his uncle opted for suicide just because the boy band with potential he had lacked one more member over another band that had a member more than them (after Snot told her about her brother's suicide, Snot's mother replied with "Tooold yaaaaa!").
  • Clear My Name: After Steve pins a barmitzva heist on him in "Bar Mitzvah Hustle"
  • Disappeared Dad: His dad left him and his mom before he died. Before that he was abusive to them.
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: He was originally implied to have come from money, being able to afford lavish presents in an attempt to win over Haley. Later episodes make a joke about him being quite poor.
  • Embarrassing First Name: Schmuley.
  • Flanderization: By season 14, Snot's poor background is taken to the extreme; he and his mother can't afford pencils for school, actual pillows for their beds, cheap fast food for dinner, or even real furniture for their house.
  • He Cleans Up Nicely: After Snot supposedly lost his virginity to "Jenny" (actually Roger) and usurped leadership from Steve, he started wearing better clothes and combing his hair. After Roger faked "Jenny's" death, he reverted back to his usual look.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Steve. The two are repeatedly shown to be extremely close (even beyond Steve's friendships with Barry and Toshi) and are usually there for each other.
  • Hidden Depths: One episode had Stan wear braces on his teeth which gave him a very awkward-sounding lisp. Upon finding this out, Snot has an exasperated reaction to this and loosens a screw in the braces with a conventional screwdriver while griping about why they're always screwed in so tight. This is enough to remove the lisp.
  • Hopeless Suitor: Has had an unrequited crush on Hayley for apparently quite a long time.
  • Noodle Incident: One time he and Steve investigated the mystery of the disappearance of his bicycle, but they dropped it after the case turned into a double rape homicide.
  • Perma-Stubble: Like many teenagers.
  • Too Kinky to Torture: Coincides with Single-Target Sexuality, where whenever Hayley specifically beats the crap out of him, he considers it the greatest honor of his life.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: Aside from the different hair color, Perma-Stubble, and acne, Snot looks a lot like his mother.
  • Wanting Is Better Than Having: Finally lands a date with Hailey in "The Missing Kink". And immediately loses interest in her... Only for the show to imply that he's gone back to obsessing over her.
  • With Friends Like These...: Snot turns on Steve a lot, like stealing his girlfriend and throwing an apple at him when he had his scoliosis brace on. Snot himself has suffered from some of Steve's schemes in turn.

    Barry Robinson 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/barry_robinson.jpg
Voiced by: Eddie Kaye Thomas
Evil side voiced by: Craig Ferguson

Steve's lovably dumb friend who is actually a criminal mastermind when off his meds.


  • Ax-Crazy: When he's not medicated, Barry is a cold and violent sociopath. Even with his usual "simpleton" demeanor, he occasionally slips out a psychopathic thought or two.
    (At Roger's Spring Break party, some drunken college girls walk by)
    Steve: Oh yeah, I'm gonna hit that!
    Snot: I'm gonna tear that up!
    Barry: I'm gonna kill her with a bottle! (awkward silence)
  • Berserk Button: After Lewis deprives him of his candy, Barry gets his revenge by tricking the principal into getting shot, then twists his finger in the wound to give him even more pain.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: An odd example in that the friendly demeanor is genuine, but only because of the medication suppressing his evil urges.
  • Creepy Uncle: He has one of those who made "basement movies" with him.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Normally, Barry takes drugs that dampen his criminal mind. As a result, he is naive and slow, and struggles making moral choices.
  • Continuity Nod: Since the episode where his condition was revealed up through Season 6, he would semi-frequently say and do dark or disturbing things even when sedated. For example, he once got revenge on Lewis by letting him get shot and then twisting his finger in the wound. Another time, while he, Snot, and Toshi were beating Steve, he suddenly shouts his desire to kill his whole family.
  • Depraved Homosexual: Barry has a crush on Snot, and things get awkward when they're alone in a car in "Independent Movie."
  • Disability Superpower: Barry is shown to be impossibly good with numbers.
  • Evil Brit: When off his medication, he is a dangerous psychopath and talks with a British accent.
  • Evil Redhead: Has a full head of red hair and is psychopathic.
  • Fat Bastard: When off his medication (even for a small amount of time), he tries to ruin Stan and Francine's marriage just to mess with Steve.
  • Fat Best Friend: The token heavyset member of Steve's friends.
  • Faux Affably Evil: When off his meds he effects a calm, polite manner of speaking at times.
  • Gentle Giant: Subverted. Barry is usually portrayed as a silly but kind chubby boy, but that's because he is under the effects of a medication that represses his violent impulses. Once he skips his dose, he turns into an evil genius that even Stan is scared of.
  • Good Is Dumb: Subverted. Barry seems to be the dumbest and most docile of Steve and his friends, but this is only because of his medication. His true personality is far more malicious and intelligent.
  • Hypocritical Humor: In most episodes, Barry is not ashamed to point out that he's overweight, apparently he does however have a problem with people who are obese and overweight.
  • It's All About Me: His untraquilized persona actually takes this to an even more psychotic level than Roger after gaining a bond with Stan, becoming intent on destroying anyone that pulls them apart.
  • Jekyll & Hyde: When he's medicated, Barry is friendly but not too bright. When the drugs wear off, he turns into a conniving criminal mastermind.
  • Manipulative Bastard: When not drugged, Barry is shown to be very good at manipulating people emotionally with either words or actions. For example, when Steve tries to expose his evil side Barry begins to cry while possibly pretending to be his nice self saying he was hanging around Stan because he never had a good father. This disarms Steve who accepts a plate of food Barry made, one of Stan's commemorative plates, thereby setting him up for later.
  • Parental Neglect: Suggested off-screen. Though the fact that he's a calculating possessive psychopath when off his medication might explain why they want to keep their distance. Ultimately subverted come the reveal of his parents.
  • The Sociopath: A devious, cunning monster whenever meds aren't suppressing his true self.
  • Soft-Spoken Sadist: Whenever off his meds he sounds like a Bond villain.
    Barry: Soothing, isn't it? Sweet and terrible, like a madman's lullaby.
  • Token Evil Teammate: For Steve's small circle of friends.

    Toshi Yoshida 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toshi_yoshida_american_dad_6_66.jpg
Voiced by: Daisuke Suzuki

The fourth of Steve's circle of friends.


  • Arranged Marriage: In "Stan Knows Best", it was made known that he has an obedient woman waiting for him back home in Japan, even though later in "Of Ice and Men", Toshi gets another woman, Svetlana, the Russian mail order bride.
  • Asian and Nerdy: As part of Steve's nerdy gang.
  • Asian Rudeness: Not that people realize it given his preference for speaking in Japanese.
  • Badass Bookworm: In the Halloween episode "Best Little Horror House in Langley Falls" where he uses a katana to cut apart two serial killers.
  • Does Not Speak Common: He speaks entirely in Japanese out of a sense of national pride; his friends do not understand him and simply make assumptions about what he's saying.
  • Fun with Foreign Languages: Toshi only speaks (subtitled) Japanese. People assume several times that assumes he has said something completely unrelated to what he has actually said, often the exact opposite.
  • Fun with Subtitles: The disconnect between what Toshi is saying and what the other characters think he's saying is often played for humor.
  • Hiding Behind the Language Barrier: More that he refuses to speak English and insults people a lot.
  • Japanese Ranguage: During an argument, Snot shouts at him to learn English for once. He has this to say, EAT... MY... BOWLS!
  • Jerkass: Most of his dialogue is him insulting others (particularly Steve) or generally being a jerk, since he knows no one understands what he's actually saying.
  • Knight Templar Big Brother: Mess with his sister, or even take her out on a date without his permission, and he will END you.
  • Out of Focus: His overall screentime is noticeably diminished when compared to Barry and Snot and he speaks less often. This likely due to him having no purpose in the series outside of the aforementioned one note running gag of him speaking Japanese and being misunderstood by everyone else.
  • Pet the Dog: Saves Stan, Francine, and Roger from serial killers in "Best Little House in Langley Falls" with no real motive to do so.
  • Secret Secret-Keeper: Toshi is shown to know that he knows about Roger being an alien by stating when introduced to Steve's "Uncle Roger", "Ah yes, the alien in the wig", making Toshi one of the few outside the Smith family and the CIA to know the truth about Roger.
  • Stop Being Stereotypical:
    • This is the reason he didn't want to wear a samurai Halloween costume.
      "I will not be a cliche!"
    • Once when the boys were playing Star Trek, Toshi complimented Steve's sensitivity for not automatically casting him as Sulu. That role fell to Barry, who did the "me Chinese" eyes, prompting Toshi to remark "Laugh while you can, the next century is ours."
  • The Unintelligible: He only speaks Japanese, but it's subtitled, so the audience can understand even though none of the other characters can. His mother, father, and sister speak fluent English; his mother and sister are introduced brings up that he chooses not to speak English out of national pride.
    • In another episode, it is discovered that he seems to be 'haunted' by Minamoto, a 12th century shogun whom he, ironically, cannot understand, taking his phrases for something else like his friends do with him.
    • Lampshaded in "Spelling Bee my Baby" when his mother asks why he only uses Japanese when neither she nor anyone in the family speaks it.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: Doesn't seem to like Steve (much of his dialogue is insulting remarks toward Steve, which Steve can't understand), but continues to hang out with him. It's implied other kids aren't as nice to him.

    Lisa Silver 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/590c13d5_0ea3_46a0_9d90_9ce37a9c4dbf.jpeg
Voiced by: Carmen Electra (pilot), Elizabeth Banks ("1600 Candles" onward)

Lisa Silver is a senior girl at Pearl Bailey High. She is part of the popular crowd and is a cheerleader.


  • Alpha Bitch: Subverted. Lisa Silver appears willing to go out with the nerdy Steve and is surprisingly understanding when the show's antics keeps messing up the planned dates. In another episode, it looks like she and her Girl Posse did something terrible to Steve's unpopular girlfriend... but it turns out it is actually Steve's friends who are responsible, once again subverting what you'd expect from Alpha Bitch behavior.
  • Girl Posse: She has two close friends, Amy and Janet Lewis.
  • Living Prop: She basically becomes one after “Escape from Pearl Bailey”, minus one Season 8 episode where she says one word.
  • Out of Focus: She only makes background appearances in later seasons.
  • Single Girl Seeks Most Popular Guy: In the pilot episode, she and Steve briefly dated because he is class president and she likes the perks; although Lisa wouldn't even kiss Steve as he is "repulsive".

    Debbie Hyman 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/char_31677.jpg
Voiced by: Lizzy Caplan

Steve’s on-again, off-again Goth girlfriend.


  • Affably Evil: She is revealed to be a horrible person in one throwaway joke where she reveals she shoots out squirrels' eyes. Aside from that, however, she's a reasonable, well-adjusted person.
  • Big Beautiful Woman: Steve even calls her "you big beautiful creature" at one point.
  • Big Eater: Despite sounding like an extremely reasonable young girl who has many good traits to even win Stan over, her voracious appetite is insane. However, it's treated like a normal thing that doesn't get much attention outside fat jokes.
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Her last relevant appearance was in Season 4's "Bar Mitzvah Hustle", with her few appearances afterwards being voiceless cameos in "Railroaded" and "The Chilly Thrillies". She also appears in the anniversary specials "100 A.D.", "The Two Hundred" and "300", but mainly for the sake of having each episode filled with as many recognizable characters as possible.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: She's pretty nice, despite being a Goth. Although she does shoot the eyes out of squirrels, which is pretty evil.
  • Demoted to Extra:
    • Possibly so the writers could focus on the Steve and Akiko pairing (which was also eventually given up on). On top of that, Debbie broke up with Steve after the events of "Escape From Pearl Bailey", then they were back together in "Bar Mitzvah Hustle" and then Debbie left him for someone much more mature and it ends there.
    • A deleted scene for "Bar Mitzvah Hustle" (which can be found on the Volume 5 DVD set) shows that they would've rekindled once more at the end when she would dump Aton in favor for Steve when she realizes that the former's maturity was simply just egotism.
  • Hidden Depths: Is quite knowledgeable about guns.
  • Only Sane Man: Out of the entire show Debbie is possibly the most well-adjusted, rational, and emotionally mature character save for her interest in death.
  • Perky Goth: She seems to have an obsession with death and the dark side, but for the most part seems very friendly and well-adjusted.

    Lindsay Coolidge 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lindsay_coolidge.png
Voiced by: Terri Lyn Rodriguez

A popular hot girl at Steve's school who he often tries to score with.


  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Even if it was just a brief cameo, her appearance in Season 12's "The Devil Wears a Lapel Pin" was the first time she's appeared on-screen since Season 7's "The Wrestler" nearly four years prior (and ironically, another brief background appearance).
  • Out of Focus: She started out as the girl that Steve tried to score with the most up until after the 4th season where she's been relegated to brief background appearances ever since. She also stopped have speaking appearances after Season 3's "Big Trouble in Little Langley".

    Akiko Yoshida

Voiced by: Grey DeLisle ("Weiner of Our Discontent" - "Shallow Vows"), Grace Park ("Best Little Horror House in Langley Falls" onward)

Toshi's sister, who often acts as a translator.


  • The Big Damn Kiss: With Steve in "Spelling Bee My Baby".
  • Big Little Brother: Big Little Sister: Following her Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome, she is taller than Toshi.
  • The Bus Came Back: After vanishing from the series post-"Spelling Bee My Baby", she returns (albeit in minor, non-speaking roles) in "The Talented Mr. Dingleberry" and "Tapped Out".
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Despite her and Steve becoming a couple in "Spelling Bee My Baby" she was never seen again and Steve went back to being single (because the Status Quo Is God). She finally reappeared for a non-speaking cameo about four and a half years later in "The Talented Mr. Dingleberry" where she (along with her father) can be spotted in the audience during the talent show.
  • Just Friends:
    • She and Steve spend Halloween bonding and becoming close, and Steve finally convinces Toshi to stop being so overprotective. Akiko thanks Steve since this means she's free...to date Doug, a 9-year-old kid who appears out of nowhere.
    • "Spelling Bee My Baby" reversed this with she and Steve dating (until Akiko abruptly disappeared afterwards never to be seen again).
  • Satellite Character: So far, all of Akiko's major appearances have been influenced by the character(s) that she interacts with. All her scenes in her first two speaking appearances ("Weiner of Our Discontent" and "Shallow Vows") revolved around her being Toshi's translator, while most of her scenes in her latter two appearances ("Best Little Horror House in Langley Falls" and "Spelling Bee My Baby") revolve around her being the newest girl that Steve has a crush on and tries to score with.
  • Shout-Out: Her Halloween costume was Chun-Li.
  • Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome: In her first appearance, she was approximately 12 years old; as of "Weiner of Our Discontent", she's only slightly younger than Steve and his friends. This is never addressed either.

    Vince Chung 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1834fe79_51fb_4c34_822c_e53de51748dc.jpeg
Voiced by: John Cho
A popular bully who regularly bullies Steve and his friends alongside his friend Mertz.

  • Ambiguously Bi: Despite being the typical bully who has a lot of girlfriends, he was interested in Steve boobs and was seen making out with Mertz right after calling Steve and Snot gay. Given the nature of the show, no one sure if he's actually bisexual or if it's just a runaway joke in the show.
  • The Bully: He is a bully who constantly torments Steve and his friends.
  • Freudian Excuse: He claim in one episode that he was molested as a child.
  • Hunk: He's tall, muscular, and handsome. No wonder he has so many girlfriends.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's a total jerk to anyone that's not popular. The only time he's nice to Steve was when he had boobs from experimental steroids and when he briefly joined in his antics only to backfire. He also ultimately returned to treating Steve crappily. Despite this and being a bully and all, he's mostly nice to others he actually has respect to like his own group of friends, and has a mostly laid back, chill demeanor.
  • Out of Focus: Makes only background appearances now because Mertz is now the main bully character now. Plus, his voice actor John Cho is too busy with his film career, which is the most likely reason why he's reduced to mostly a background character.

    Mertz

Voiced by: Judah Miller

A bully who, like Vince, constantly torments Steve and Snot.


  • Ambiguously Bi: He's usually seen being straight, but was seen making out with Vince Chung. Given the nature of the show, no one sure if he's actually bisexual or if it's just a runaway joke in the show.
  • Ambiguously Jewish: He looks similar to a fatter, red-haired Snot, having a Jewfro and all, but he is never stated to be Jewish like Snot.
  • The Bully: He's a mean bully, with his main targets being Steve and Snot.
  • Evil Redhead: He may not be evil, but he's still a bully who's a jerk to anyone who's not popular and is a redhead.
  • Freudian Excuse: He was adopted for money, and his adopted father beats him with a wrench.
  • Hidden Depths: He has a sex addiction that deeply troubles him, because of it he holds a deep respect for people that choose abstinence.

Voiced by: Stacey Dash

Brian Lewis’s daughter. She is one Lisa and Amy’s friends and is popular.


  • Alpha Bitch: Like Amy and Lisa.
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: After “Escape From Pearl Bailey” she is never seen again, even when her father was about to get married.
  • Disappeared Dad: She doesn’t live with her father, because his house has been seen a few times and she wasn’t there ever. She still sees her dad at school though.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: She makes a non-speaking appearance in the episode where Steve becomes younger where she sits with her friends.
  • Plastic Bitch: In "Escape from Pearl Bailey" Steve wants to get revenge on the popular girls who he believes sabotaged his girlfriend's run for student body president. Janet goes to a plastic surgery clinic to get liposuction. While she's under anesthesia, Steve sneaks in and reverses the flow of the liposuction device, so she gets extra fat placed inside of her.
  • Where Did We Go Wrong?: What Lewis thinks about her.

    Billy 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6e00fa13_4927_4ebb_9010_91b7d6e371bb.jpeg

Dr. Kalgary’s creation, who he refers to as his "greatest work".


  • Ascended Extra: Seemed like a one-time character in his debut.
  • Body Horror: His body is horrifically stretched and thin because of Dr. Kalgary's work to make him taller. He was apparently doll-sized before.
  • Flesh Golem: Dr. Kalgary created Billy by stitching together various human body parts
  • Sixth Ranger: Treated as an unofficial fifth member of Steve's friend circle later on in the series.

    A.J. Slick 
A student at Pearl Bailey who often antagonizes Steve. Voiced by David Herman.
  • The Bully: Not the stereotypical bully, but he still sabotaged Steve in "The Talented Mr. Dingleberry", and was chosen by Principal Lewis to be a hall monitor, and Lewis only chose students with behavior problems.

    Blanch, Sophia, and Dorothy 
Voiced by: Voiced by D'Arcy Carden (Sophia), Chelsea Peretti (Dorothy), and Busy Philipps (Blanch).

Three mean girls who call themselves the Golden Girls.


  • Alpha Bitch: They are very popular and in their debut episode they made Francine dump clam chowder on Steve's head.
  • Dark Secret: Francine reveals their secrets to take them down a peg. One of them carries around a piece of her own shit, another was put in foster care because her parents are brother and sister, and another grinds her teeth and preemptively implied she murdered someone thinking that's what Francine was gonna mention.

    Tyler and Marcus 
Two students who are in a relationship.
  • Straight Gay: They don't act very stereotypically gay, unlike most homosexual characters on this show.

    Peter 
A nerdy, overweight student who has made several minor appearances.
  • Gonk: He's fat and stocky.

    Amy 

A girl in science class with Steve, who he likes.

  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Gets impaled with a broken fence pole after Steve, still thinking he's lucid dreaming, drags her out the window in an attempt to fly.
