Mr. Bumpy
A green monster under the bed covered in purple warts who likes having fun and going into all sorts of wild adventures.
- Baby Morph Episode: He turns into a baby in the episode "Baby Jail".
- Big "SHUT UP!": In "Night of the Living Bread", Mr. Bumpy does this to the narrator:Mr. Bumpy: WILL YOU SHUT UP?!
- Cephalothorax: His head is also his body.
- Child Hater: It is established in "Baby Snail" and "Baby Jail" that he doesn't care for babies, though both circumstances have him change his tone, growing quite attached to the baby snail in the former and understanding that even infants have it rough in the latter.
- Extreme Omnivore: He will eat anything, with his favorite foods being dirty socks and used facial tissues.
- Gasshole: Is constantly burping after eating socks or any other items.
- Gonk: As a monster from the 90s, he prides himself on his grossness.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He can be greedy and impulsive, but he does care about his friends Squishington and Molly Coddle and will always be there to help them (though he usually makes things worse before they get better). He also sincerely cares for the boy whose bed he lives under.
- Large Ham: Voiced by Jim Cummings, it's to be expected.
- Reluctant Monster: When Mr. Bumpy hears about a monster that is terrifying his boy, his first instinct is to find the interloper and beat the snot out of him. Only later he finds out that his hard-partying antics are what's upsetting the kid, and he is the monster, much to his horror.
- Screams Like a Little Girl: Whenever he finds something terrifying, Mr. Bumpy tends to let out an extremely loud and vey high-pitched shriek of fright.
- Trademark Favorite Food: He loves eating socks.
Squishington
A blue blob monster who lives in the toilet and prefers things to be clean.

- Interspecies Romance: Ends up falling for the Germ Girl in "Adventures in Microbia".
- Neat Freak: He's quite obsessive when it comes to cleaning. It drives Mr. Bumpy crazy when he temporarily moves in with him.
- Sudden Name Change: Downplayed. He is called Squishington throughout the series, but is given two different full names, both of which are contradictory on whether Squishington is his first name or his last name. He states that his full name is Squishington A. Peabody in "Sock It to Me", while "Love's Labor Bumped" has Mr. Bumpy refer to him in passing as F. Lee Squishington.
Molly Coddle
A comfort doll who likes to hang with Bumpy and Squishy.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Even a sweet comfort doll can be pushed too far, and when she is, it makes even Destructo nervous.
- Heel Realization: In "Twas the Night Before Bumpy", she's devastated when she realizes she was wrong by resorting to being a Prima Donna Director.
- Living Toys: She is a doll that happens to be alive.
- Nice Girl: She is a very warm and friendly person and it's in her nature to be comforting and helpful.
- Prima Donna Director: When no one takes her seriously after Bumpy appoints her pageant director in "Twas the Night Before Bumpy", she resorts to being demanding and petulant.
- Punny Name: Her name is a play on "mollycoddle", which means to be overprotective and excessively pampering toward someone.
The Cute Dolls
A clique of Barbie-esque dolls who tend to look down on the main cast.
- Alpha Bitch: All of them are dismissive and scornful of those they don't consider fashionable.
- Girl Posse: They're all very snooty and vainglorious.
- Incredibly Lame Fun: In one episode, they are hosting a party and Molly desperately wants to join in, despite Mr. Bumpy warning her it will be very boring. Sure enough, said party largely consists of them just sitting at a table and genteely dining on less than appealing food, such as stewed prunes. Things reach their limit for Mr. Bumpy when the best suggestion they can come up with for livening things up is a game of charades.
- Living Toys: They're dolls that happen to be living beings.
The Boy
The boy whose bed Mr. Bumpy lives under.

Dad
- The Faceless: We never see his face.
- Unnamed Parent: "Dad" is all he's ever addressed as.
Destructo
A toy robot who goes to great lengths to enforcing the rules, which often puts him at odds with Mr. Bumpy.
- Abhorrent Admirer: "Love's Labor Bumped" has him become attracted to Molly. Molly is less than thrilled when Destructo eventually attempts to kiss her.
- Big Bad Ensemble: Alongside the Closet Monster, he is the closest the show has to a main antagonist.
- The Bully: In his self-appointed role as enforcer of law and order, he comes off more as a petty tyrant who is happy to abuse his superior size and strength to terrorize and brutalize the other toys and creatures into toeing the line. He even gets a Villain Song called "I'm Bigger Than You" which is just him threatening the listeners over and over.
- Do-Anything Robot: He has an awful lot of gadgets built into him even though he's a toy. He can even make milkshakes!
- Hero Antagonist: He cares about the rules, so he's technically a good guy, but it's the harsh methods in which he enforces the rules and his constantly being at odds with Bumpy and friends that make him an antagonist.
- Living Toys: He's a living toy robot.
- Pet the Dog: He generally has no issue with Molly. For example, in "Comforting the Uncomfortable", after she oils him, he sincerely thanks her and kisses her on the cheek.
- Villain Song: He sings "I'm Bigger Than You" in one of the Karaoke Cafe segments, where he boasts about using his size and power to get everyone to do what he says.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: All he wants to do is make sure everyone follows the rules, but he's a textbook bad cop and moreover, Literal-Minded; for example, in "Not a Peep", when the Boy is told by Dad he doesn't want to hear a peep, he tells Destructo this, and he takes it to mean silencing every single source of sound.
Closet Monster
A monster made of dirty clothes who often menaces the main characters.
- Always Chaotic Evil: He's barely sentient and always acting on primal instinct.
- Big Bad Ensemble: Along with Destructo, the Closet Monster is the closest the show has to a main antagonist.
- The Dreaded: Practically everyone in the house fears him.
- No Name Given: He’s just the Closet Monster. If he has some sort of name, no one’s going to ask what it is.
- The Voiceless: He doesn't talk, but he does do a lot of growling.
Sleemoth and Gloog
A pair of dim-witted aliens who occasionally try to invade Earth, only for Bumpy and friends to ensure they suffer a humiliating defeat.
- Alien Invasion: They're aliens that want to conquer Earth.
- Aliens of London: In spite of not being from Earth, Sleemoth has a Scottish accent and Gloog has a British accent.
- Aliens Speaking English: As expected from a children's cartoon, Sleemoth and Gloog already speak English for narrative convenience.
- Extra Eyes: They both literally have four eyes.
- Fat and Skinny: Sleemoth is skinny, while Gloog is fat.
- My Brain Is Big: Sleemoth's brain is larger than Gloog's and he's the more intelligent of the pair. He even attempts to enlarge his brain to become even smarter in "Comfort Schmumfort". In fact, his brain becomes so huge that he actually starts physically bludgeoning Molly with it.
- Squishington: "Good Golly! Miss Molly is being crushed under the sheer weight of his intellect!"
- Politically Incorrect Villain: In the episode "Comfort Schmumfort", they dismiss Molly Coddle as not being a threat just because she's a girl.
- Small Name, Big Ego: They are quite arrogant and always assume that their plans can't be thwarted.
- Villain Song: In the episode "It Sang from Beyond the Stars", they pretend to be a rock band and sing a song called "Invaders", which explicitly mentions their plans for invasion in the lyrics.
Germ Girl
A germ girl who ends up becoming a love interest for Squishington.
- Abhorrent Admirer: Squishington initially doesn't want anything to do with her since he's obsessed with cleanliness and she's a germ, but he eventually reciprocates her feelings.

- No Name Given: She's never mentioned by name.
- Non-Mammal Mammaries: Has some prominent breasts despite being a bacterium.

Little Robot
A tiny toy robot (A "Turbo Totranoid") from Japan who first encountered Mr. Bumpy and Squishington after Bumpy won her from mailing enough cereal box tops. While capable of becoming large and menacing, she isn't really that hostile.
- The Bus Came Back: Her debut episode ended with her going back to Japan, while she returned in "Made in Japan II" after the company that made her started recalling and destroying her sisters.
- Cute Machines: She's a tiny toy robot who's cute as a button.
- Hulking Out: Transforms into a larger form whenever she's frightened or needs to defend herself.

- Last of His Kind: She and her purple sister are presumably the only remaining members of their kind in existence, considering that the factory that made them recalled and destroyed all the others.
- Meaningful Name: True to her name, she's a robot who's rather small.
- Non-Malicious Monster: Though her "turbo" appearance is large and menacing, she's shown to be friendly and harmless. This is solidified when Squishington knocks her down and she starts crying when they first meet.

- Abhorrent Admirer: After noticing how stinky Molly is when she's covered in garbage, he becomes an unwanted suitor toward her.
- Eyes Always Shut: He's never seen not squinting.
- This could be an Actor Allusion, considering the stage persona of Gilbert Gottfried is rarely if ever seen without his trademark squint.

- Mysterious Middle Initial: It's never explained what the J stands for.
Big Mike
A baby Mr. Bumpy encounters in "Baby Jail".
