- Really Gets Around
Mrs. Thistletwat
- Jerk With a Heart of Gold: Well, she was willing to let Kate teach her own session...
- Sadist Teacher
The Bad Idea Bears
- Complete Monsters: Defied. They might appear to be as such given that they're more or less there to tempt Princeton into doing increasingly stupid and/or destructive things, especially when they try to persuade Princeton to kill himself, but it's gradually made clear that they're just plain amoral rather than actively, maliciously evil.
- Evil Mentors: They suggest that Princeton gets drunk and then commits suicide. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
- For the Evulz
- Genki Girl: The yellow bear.
- Good Angel Bad Angel: Don't believe a word of it. They're both pretty much the closest thing the show has to Chaotic Evil characters.

- Manipulative Bastards
- Poisonous Friends
- Red Oni Blue Oni: In this partnership, the blue bear tends to come up with the suggestions while the yellow one tries to enforce them more enthusiastically.

People
Brian
- The Lancer
- So Unfunny He's Funny: More or less the entire point of his character.
Christmas Eve
- All Asians Are Alike: Averted. Being Japanese is why she can't get a job in a Korean deli (Chinese restaurant in the UK West End version).
- The Obi Wan: For Kate Monster, when it comes to relationship advice.
- The Smart Girl
Gary Coleman
- The Big Guy
- Butt Monkey
- Catch Phrase: Deconstructed, as he's more or less grown resentful of it.
- Mr. Fixit
