---

• 6teen:
  • The Boys:
    • Id: Jonesy — Almost completely driven by his hormones. Losing his job every episode, usually because of an incompetent decision, is also a Running Gag.

    • Superego: Wyatt — Sensitive, logical Nice Guy who often finds himself as the Only Sane Man.

    • Superego: Jen — Easily the most responsible girl in the group, she takes her job and her life very seriously and is very motivated to do well. Like Wyatt and Nikki, she often finds herself as the Only Sane Woman due to caring more about the things that really matter.
