'''Baman'''


A rubbery being based on the DC Comics superhero [[Batman]]. He seems to be the more intelligent of the two, and usually offers suggestions on what activity they should be doing. Baman <s>works</s> worked for a large yellow creature that he referred to as his boss. He also lives in a small, boxlike house and appears to be able to drive it with a ship's wheel. As of ''Happy Winter Friends (Part 2)'', his house seems to have been destroyed by a giant snowflake. Sometimes parts of his body dislocate from him, and are able to be reattached.

'''Piderman'''

⚫
A lazy, slightly overweight being based on the Marvel Comics superhero [[Spider Man]]. He seems to have the same abilities as Spider Man, but he often uses for unnecessary purposes like grabbing small objects or dragging himself along the ground instead of walking. He lives in the larger of the two houses, which usually serves as the setting of the shows. Since the episode "Make Da Cards" Piderman's door is shattered when Baman came inside.

A pumpkin introduced by Baman in the episode ''Hab Da Pumkin'', and has been a major supporting character since.

Pumpkin also has the ability to function as some sort of video game console. He was eventually carved by the Basement Monsters and screamed frequently to express his displeasure, which caused him to rot. As of ''Happy Winter Friends Part 2'', Pumpkin is restored and is given a humanoid body.

Two discolored creatures that resemble Baman and Piderman who live in the latter's basement. They first appeared in ''Guess Da Number'', in which they carved Pumpkin. Later, they break out of the basement door (which had been taped closed) to borrow an ingredient for a cookie pie, which they share with their housemates. When the main characters are not around, they are usually seen causing mischief.

It's unknown whether they're evil, in it for the lulz, or they just have weird taste. Possibly all of the above.

He seems to be in a relationship with Tuba.

Tropes exhibited by Baman include:

Piderman

A lazy, slightly overweight being based on the Marvel Comics superhero Spider-Man. He seems to have the same abilities as Spider Man, but he often uses for unnecessary purposes like grabbing small objects or dragging himself along the ground instead of walking.

Tropes exhibited by Piderman include:

Tuba
