Line 12:
{{quote|"Talkin' 'bout me?!"}}
[[File:
The [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]] of the show alongside Luca, Paolo is a bit of a buffoon, and he doesn't have many interests outside either campers, Alfa Romeos and the like. However, his overall simple-mindedness is a foil to the way he treats his [[Butt Monkey]] co-workers. Think about him as a [[Jerk Jock]] of sorts, though Andrea is better at that.
Line 59:
=== Luca Nervi ===
{{quote|"Now ''that'' will piss our bosses off!"}}
The other [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]], Luca is the leader of the company's trade union and, as such, he's in charge of the organization of strikes. He's proud to be a Communist, but he doesn't quite stick to the ideals implied by that. As greedy as he is, however, he also has some redeeming

▲The other [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]], Luca is the leader of the company's trade union and, as such, he's in charge of the organization of strikes. He's proud to be a Communist, but he doesn't quite stick to the ideals implied by that. As greedy as he is, however, he also has some redeeming abilities -- namely, he's generally smarter and more classy than Paolo, though every time the two have a plan, it's likely to backfire. His flaws are somewhat punished by the... er, [[Really Gets Around|unfaithfulness]] shown by his girlfriend. Karma's a bitch, indeed.
Line 106 ⟶ 105:
=== Silvano Rogi ===
[[File:Camera cafe silvano 4663.jpg|thumb|400px|Silvano.]]
{{quote|"TOH-GOH!" [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|("AWESOME!")]]}}
The company's nerdy and goofy accountant and the show's resident [[Butt Monkey]]. Very shy, he's not able to overcome the others' bossy attitudes unless someone's screwing with his personal hobbies he loves the most. Other than being a goody-goody know-it-all, Silvano is also known for his semi-relationship with the ugliest woman in the company (Patti), another reason for being made fun of.
Line 119 ⟶ 117:
* [[Adult Child]]
* [[Almost Kiss]]: with Patti.
* [[Basement Dweller]]: to the point you can call him [[The Simpsons (animation)|Seymour Skinner]].
* [[Berserk Button]]: screw with something he's somewhat of a fan of, and you'll be screwed in return.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]
Line 143 ⟶ 141:
=== Patrizia "Patti" D'Imporzano ===
[[File:
Simply known as "Cesso" (Toilet), Patti is the flat-out ugliest one in the company. She's still a maiden despite her age in a platonic relationship with Silvano.
Line 173 ⟶ 171:
* [[Strange Minds Think Alike]]: she and Silvano.
* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: definitely in season 5. Occasionally in the earlier episodes too.
* [[Yandere
=== Augusto Stanislao Maria De Marinis (a.k.a. the director, Mr. De Marinis) ===
[[File:
{{quote|"You're a MORON!"}}
▲[[File:Camera_cafe_de_marinis_9614.jpg|frame|Augusto De Marinis.]]
The director in charge of the company as a whole. Highly conservative and, although not explicitly, rightist, he doesn't think about Luca as an actual "menace".
Line 209 ⟶ 205:
=== Olmo Ghesizzi ===
[[File:
The overweight computer expert. Single father of a little kid, Olmo is a bit of a nerd and his interests include videogames and anything related to fantasy and science fiction. Despite his weight he has also a passion for surf and extreme sports. (seasons 1-5)
Line 228 ⟶ 224:
=== Alessandra "Alex" Costa ===
[[File:
Alex is Luca's so-called, self-appointed girlfriend. A relatively minor character in the show, this secretary has actually slept with pretty much everyone in the company. She's also a stoner, and none of her brothers has an honest life in any way. (seasons 1-5)
Line 235 ⟶ 231:
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]
* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: the episode guest starring Luca's pen friend ends with something that could only be defined as a (thankfully [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]]) Dethroning Moment Of Suck, quickly establishing her as one of the least likeable characters in the entire show.<ref>
* [[Friends with Benefits]]: what her relationship with Luca amounts to.
* [[Hypocrite]]: slutty, yet jealous of Luca.
Line 254 ⟶ 250:
=== Andrea Pellegrino ===
[[File:
Andrea is Mr. De Marinis' personal driver, and he's <s> pretty much</s> ''exactly'' as violent as the stereotypical bodyguard he looks like: he delivers a [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] almost every single time he's featured in a sketch. (seasons 1-5)
Line 281 ⟶ 277:
=== Giuseppe "Pippo" Lo Cascio ===
[[File:
The homosexual office boy. Luca's and Paolo's favorite [[Butt Monkey]] when Silvano isn't around. A very common [[Running Gag]] is someone (usually Paolo) ordering Pippo to go to the bathroom, to get rid of him. (seasons 1-5)
Line 290 ⟶ 286:
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Camp Gay]]: the way he acts.
** [[
* [[Girly Run]]
* [[Informed Ability]]: weirdly enough, he's a very good soccer player, so much that Luca and Paolo allowed him to play in the company's soccer team. For obvious reasons this ability is never seen on screen (and never mentioned again after that episode).
Line 299 ⟶ 295:
* [[Ping-Pong Naivete]]
* [[Screams Like a Little Girl]]
* [[Took a Level
=== Wanda Sordi ===
[[File:
A naive, submissive elderly woman, who is still on stage despite being working in the company for several years. Generally treated badly by everyone, she has always hard work to do, usually physically painful for a person of her age. (seasons 1-5)
Line 322 ⟶ 318:
=== Vittorio Ubbiali ===
{{quote|"Ah, if it isn't that little
▲[[File:camera_caf_vittorio_7516.png|frame|Vittorio.]]
The psychotic, neurotic, lunatic guard who's always threatening people with his gun. (seasons 1-5)
Line 345 ⟶ 339:
=== Guido Geller ===
[[File:
{{quote|"A long time ago, in an ancient region named Gu..." }}▼
▲{{quote|"A long time ago, in an ancient region named Gu..." }}
▲[[File:Camera_Cafe_Geller_Annoying_Laugh_8564.jpg|frame| One of the few moments you'll see this man laughing, although in this case it [[Dissonant Laughter|doesn't match the situation]], nor it is [[Annoying Laugh|good to hear]]. Patti, [[Audience Surrogate|we share your pain]]. ]]
A post-merger character, the most important and the most feared. ''Everyone'' fears him, including De Marinis. He's the calm, serious, impassible man who's always carrying that small red notebook. Being in charge of human resources, he can examine workers' every single movement...and write their name in the notebook whenever he decides they do something wrong or stupid. And it happens. Always. (seasons 4-5)
Line 378 ⟶ 372:
=== Gloria ===
[[File:
She is the beautiful yet extremely dim-witted new secretary of the company. (season 5)
Line 398 ⟶ 392:
=== Lucrezia Orsini ===
[[File:
A new manager of the company who has an obsessive crush on Paolo. (season 5)

== Characters who left the show ==
Line 413 ⟶ 408:
=== Ilaria Tanadale ===
[[File:
The second most important person in the company, next to De Marinis, Ilaria is the strict Marketing director. While powerful and respected, she has basically no life outside of her workplace and is considered by everyone a bitter middle-aged woman. (seasons 1-4)
Line 434 ⟶ 429:
=== Gaia De Bernardi ===
[[File:
Vice Marketing Manager of the company, Gaia is a smart, beautiful, successful woman whose eternal competition with Ilaria is well known by everyone. Almost all the guys lust after Gaia, especially Paolo who considers her the perfect dream girl.
Line 458 ⟶ 453:
=== Giovanna Caleffi ===
[[File:
The young, sexy switchboard operator. Unambitious and not career oriented, Giovanna is your typical pretty and friendly girl, but still able to use her natural beauty to her advantage, whenever she needs something. (seasons 1-4)
Line 477 ⟶ 472:

Line 516 ⟶ 511:
=== Emma Missale ===
[[File:
The new secretary arrived in season 3 after Anna's departure. Sort of a [[Replacement Scrappy]] although she doesn't have much in common with Anna. Luca seems to have a bit of crush on her but she isn't fond of him at all. (seasons 3-4)
Line 532 ⟶ 527:
=== Maria Eleonora Baù ===
[[File:
Introduced in the "merger period", Maria Eleonora is an extremely cultured and competent young woman, object of Luca's unrequited affections. She's a nice, likable person but at the same time neurotic and annoying because of her obsessive perfectionism. (season 4)
Line 555 ⟶ 550:
{{quote|"FOR TOM WEIL!"}}
[[File:
The main Digitex salesperson and Paolo's worst enemy, he is the most famous member of "Team Carminati" and strongly believes in the importance of the group work, thanks to the theories of Tom Weil, a fictional philosopher idolized by him and his co-workers. (season 4)
Line 575 ⟶ 570:
