Main cast

Tom Pike

The main character and creator of the vlogs.

"I've never written anything like this before, I didn't want to be a screenwriter, I wanted to be a playwright!"

"If you get in front of the camera, I will stab you, I will actually stab you!"

Tom: (to Dana) Look, if you keep assuming that someone can't do anything right, sooner or later, you're gonna be proven wrong.
Zack: Yeah!
Tom: God, I wish I had some duct tape right now.
Zack: Why?
Tom: To shut you up!

Dana Shaw

The producer, eventually promoted to character.

"[I'm going on camera] because you need me to. I mean, Tom, you're... pretty hopeless. You're really hopeless, actually. You're like a lost little puppy, and whenever someone tries to help you out, you crap on the rug and bite their baby. But, see, that's where I can come in. I can be there with the rabies shots, and the carpet cleaner... and your incompetence means that I can actually make a difference here."

Shannon: You just don't understand anything about love.
Dana: Oh, my heart. She breaks. (makes tear outline on cheek)

Zack Wallnau

The cameraman.

"Ha, therapy is for losers! ...I Made Myself Sad."

"Do you keep your dead cat in a box, too?"

Supporting/recurring cast

"You have angered us, Mr. Pike, for the last time! Your next video will be a work of genius or we will SHUT YOU DOWN. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? End transmission."

Shannon

Tom's psycho ex-fiancee.

"CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? I can't believe Tom is still making his stupid little show with that... fat boy and that ugly chick!"

When will they see that their crappy little show would be so much better if I was acting in it? And writing it? And directing it?
