Clarence's mother.

- Big Beautiful Woman: Has a heavyset shape.
- Closer to Earth: She's the most grounded member of her family by far.
- Good Parents: Mary's rare combination of patience, stamina, humor and unconditional support make her the perfect parent for Clarence. Mary is a very loving and caring mother to her high-energy son. She keeps him in check, however.
- Not So Above It All: Although not as high and mighty as most examples, she's not as grounded as she first appeared. This is best shown when she immediately switches gears to spy on "Chalmers Santiago" with Clarence.
- Parents as People: She's a very accurate portrayal of a lower middle class mother.
- Parental Obliviousness: Has a habit of not noticing what mischief Clarence is getting into.

Charles "Chad" Caswell III
- Voiced by: Eric Edelstein
Mary's slobbish, but amiable live-in boyfriend. Acts as a father figure to Clarence.
- Alliterative Name: Charles Caswell. Also applies with his nickname.
- Big Eater: He loves to eat.
- Big Fun: Rather out of shape, but a fun dude.
- Birds of a Feather: He's a fat goofball... but so is Clarence, and so they get along great.
- Bumbling Dad: Although not Clarence's biological father, for sure he still counts.
- Butt-Monkey: He suffers in a few episodes such as getting his legs broken after the boys booby trapped the door in his absence.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Chad can be rather spacey.
- Drives Like Crazy: He should really keep his eyes on the road.
- Expy: To Homer Simpson. The episode "Fishing Trip" even has him gradually losing his hair until he's left with the signature Homer haircut and says the character's catchphrase "D'oh!"
- Fat Idiot / Fat Slob: A chubby Cloudcuckoolander.
- Kavorka Man: The dude looks like a giant ape in a tank top (or what happens when you combine Homer Simpson with Greg Universe). And he is somehow dating Clarence's mom, who doesn't look like a, well, ape.
- Manchild: He has a goofy personality.
- Nice Guy: He may be a screw-up, but he's a lovable guy who gets along great with Clarence.

- Parental Substitute: Chad acts as a positive father figure to Clarence since Clarence's real father is MIA.
- Perma-Stubble: Looks like a fade, with mustache hair to boot.
