Most of the reason he rents the lake house with his old friends and their families is because he hates how spoiled his kids are and wants to teach them how to have fun like normal kids.

  • Easily Forgiven: After getting shot in the foot, Rob takes out all his bottled-up anger entirely on Gloria and says some pretty hurtful things to her. Within a few hours though they're having crazy sex like nothing had happened. Downplayed though, since Gloria confessed that she was so upset at Rob for yelling at her, she wanted to call him "a bug-eyed sociopath with a little man complex", and "say that his hair makes him look like a dirty q-tip. Or that he resembles an older, gay Jonas Brother. Or a midget, Filipino Fonzi."

  • Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Downplayed. She's older than her unattractive husband Rob.
  • Unsettling Gender-Reveal: Spoofed and Played With. Gloria tells the group that she must confess that she really is a man. They nod and agree attentively before she admits that she was actually kidding and actually hurt a little that the group believed for a moment that she was a man.

  • The Bully: He and his fraternity love to pick on old people, especially Lenny and his friends.
  • Groin Attack: He gets sniffed and possibly bitten in the groin by the deer.
  • It's Personal: Their fraternity campus building getting vandalized is what makes them go all war out on Lenny and his friends.

Played By: Milo Ventimiglia
Frat Boy Milo, the leader of the Kappa Eta Sigma fraternity that antagonizes Lenny, Eric, Kurt, and Marcus.
  • The Bully: He and his fraternity are this.
  • The Dragon: To Frat Boy Andy, as he is often seen by his side.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: After giving Malcolm a noogie, Officer Fluzoo gives him a noogie before throwing him onto a house.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: He is shirtless most of the time with his fraternity. Lampshaded by Lenny and his friends.

    Tommy Cavanaugh 

  • The Bully: He loves to intimidate Lenny.
  • Throwing the Fight: In the sequel Tommy offers to throw a fight to Lenny in order to impress Lenny's son, he quickly changes the plan to simply begging not to be hit since he didn't think anyone would believe Lenny could knock him out.

    Dickie Bailey 

  • Ambiguous Situation: Dickie claims that Lenny's game winning shot shouldn't have counted because his foot was on the out of bounds line while Lenny says otherwise. The way the scene of the shot is filmed makes it ambiguous, so it's impossible to tell who's right.
  • The Bully: He was this to Lenny and his friends when they were in school and still is, humiliating him in public unless he challenges him to a rematch.
  • Jaded Washout: Unlike the wildly successful Lenny, he's stuck in their hometown working a blue-collar restaurant job. Lenny's decision to throw the rematch partly stems from him realizing that Dickie could use a win.
  • Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up: He is almost in his fifties and is still obsessed with the basketball game that Lenny and his friends won back in high school, bullying them everywhere they go to try to get a rematch. Like many other examples of this trope, Lenny figures out that Dickie is upset about where his life has gone (never left town, wife and kids do not respect him and so on) and the rematch is him trying to relive his Glory Days and win at something for once in his life, so he decides to let Dickie win.
  • Similar Squad: Dickie and his team are this to Lenny and the gang.
  • Villain Respect: In the sequel, Dickie Bailey stands up to the frat boys in support of his rival Lenny. Dickie is later seen eating dinner with him and Lenny's friends.
