Glee/Characters/Other Minor Characters: Difference between revisions

Bit characters, family members, [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Ensemble Darkhorses]], and [[One-Scene Wonder|One Scene Wonders]].

 

 

== Teachers and Staff ==

The former teacher in charge of Glee Club, he was fired when Rachel pointed out his (borderline) inappropriate behavior with male students. He then teamed up with Sue to help bring New Directions down, being rehired to the school as the new head of the art department. Played by [[Stephen Tobolowsky]].

 

* [[All Gays Love Theater]]

* [[Camp Gay]]

* [[Depraved Homosexual]]: Conversed in "A Night of Neglect":

{{quote| '''Sandy''': "I'm what they call a ''predatory'' gay."}}

* [[Girlfriend in Canada]]: He claims his job-ending scandal cost him his long-distance girlfriend in Cleveland. Will looks unconvinced.

* [[Squick]]: Oh yeah. To the point that he gets kicked out of the Acafellas because "when [Sandy is] around, it's creepy."

* [[Transparent Closet]]: Though he seems to have come to terms with it as of "A Night of Neglect."

 

* [[Nice Guy]]: For all the crap that comes his way, he deeply loves Emma, despite her being more than a bit insane. Even after his fallout with Will, he was still respectful enough to give him a wise piece of advice about Emma with seemingly no bitterness.

* [[Out of Focus]]: In The second half of Season 1.

* [[Romantic False Lead]]: A subversion actually since Emma was never really into him.

* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Arguable, but Ken is considered to be the Manly Man to Will’s Sensitive Guy.

* [[Long Bus Trip]]: We didn't see hide nor hair of him from "Audition" all the way up to "A Night of Neglect" (although he was supposed to be in a scene in "Special Education.")

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Self-admitted in "A Night of Neglect". This seems more of a [[Informed Ability]] as we never see this come to fruition.

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Had no problem in carrying Sunshine's [[Hello Kitty]] backpack with him.

* [[Smug Snake]]

 

* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: For Rachel, obviously.

* [[Fan Disservice]]: Gah, we really did not need to see him naked in "Brittany/Britney".

** No, nor did we need to hear about him masturbating to Rachel.

* [[Funny Afro]]

{{quote| '''Brittany:''' It's like a Jewish cloud.}}

* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: What's [[Wizards of Waverly Place|Hugh Normus]] doing in a mortal high school?

* [[Matzo Fever]]: A Jew, he is obsessed with the only other (confirmed) Jewish girl in the cast

* [[School Newspaper Newshound]]

* [[Screams Like a Little Girl]]: OH DEAR GOD!

* [[Two First Names]]

 

== Harmony ==

=== Harmony ===

[[File:Harmony_5242.jpg|frame]]

 

* [[Open-Minded Parent]]: Is incredibly supportive of her son and his interests, and is one of the few characters who does not completely freak out when Quinn gets pregnant.

* [[Parental Substitute]]: For Kurt, who has apparently un-soured on his dad's romance with Carole and accepted her with open arms.

* [[Second Love]]: With Kurt's father, Burt Hummel.

 

== Kendra Giardi ==

* [[Blondes Are Evil]]

* [[Dumb Blonde]]

* [[Smug Snake]]

* [[Ted Baxter]]: Minor example, she once said that Terri got the looks and she got "The brains AND the looks".

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Judy most probably knew about Quinn's pregnancy, but didn't say anything.

* [[Overprotective Dad]]: Russell at first, but he doesn't seem to mind throwing her out after her pregnancy is revealed.

* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Both of them.

* [[Straw Character]]: Both of them, particularly Russell, are shots at ultraconservative Evangelicals.

* [[MacGuffin Girl]]: For Quinn, who {{spoiler|hatches one [[Zany Scheme]] after another to get her back.}}

* [[Morality Pet]]: For Quinn and Puck.

** [[The Bus Came Back]]: In "I Am Unicorn."

* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: It's mentioned that she looks very much like Quinn <ref> Although probably not her Lucy Caboosey self</ref>.

* [[All Asians Are Alike]]: See [[Fake Nationality]].

* [[Education Mama|Education Papa]]: Harvard, Stanford, or bust.

* [[Fake Nationality]]: Both of them make references to their parents in China, but Mike Sr. is played by a Korean and Julia is played by a Japanese-American. [[All Asians Are Alike|Go figure.]]

* [[Follow in My Footsteps]]: Mike Sr. wants his son to abandon his "unrealistic" dream and do something practical, like he did. Averted with Julia, who also abandoned her dream ([[Generation Xerox|to be a dancer, just like Mike Jr.]]), and wants her son to avoid doing what she did.

* [[I Have No Son|I Have No Granddaughter]]: {{spoiler|Pulls this on Santana when she comes out as a lesbian to her.}}

* [[Parental Substitute]]: She's implied to have been Santana's primary caretaker when she was a child (including putting her to bed at night), and it's suggested that her son and daughter-in-law practice [[Hands-Off Parenting]].

 

== Hiram & Leroy Berry ==

 

* [[Actor Allusion]]:

** Not to mention her [[Lampshaded]] "Cheno Notes" in her rendition of "Maybe This Time".

* [[Bottle Fairy]]

Hailing from Carmel High, they fill the spot of New Directions' rival glee club during the first season and end of the second season. As such, they seem very good, thanks in no small part to the training it seems they undergo (in addition, Tina says they dope their dancers).

 

 

* [[Always Someone Better]]: For New Directions.

** Also, one warbler happens to be [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2790478/ Antonio Garcia, the Gold Samurai Ranger]

* [[One-Gender School]]

* [[School Uniforms Are the New Black]]: Nobody except Blaine has been seen outside their uniforms. Mostly justified as most of their screentime is set in Dalton Academy, but they even wear them when singing in public and to competitions (which is also justified as they are representing the school at competitions and may be required to be in uniform by school rules).

** Not so justified when they're wearing them while all other teams are in costume. It'd be akin to the school requiring the football team to play in blazers and ties.

* [[Serious Business]]: ''Everything''.

* [[Team Pet]]: Pavarotti the canary.

* [[Those Two Guys]]: Wes and David, the two most-seen non-Blaine, non-Kurt Warblers. After Kurt transfers to Dalton, it's revealed that they are two of the three-member Warblers' Council, and are frequently seen in company with a third guy, Thad.

* [[The Generic Guy]]: All we know about them is that their former coach was [[Camp Gay]].

* [[Hufflepuff House]]

* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: They may use [[Professional Butt-Kisser|low tricks]] during competitions, but they don't mess with other clubs as would do, say, Vocal Adrenaline.

* [[Yes-Man]]

 

* [[The Generic Guy]]

 

== The Portland Scale Blazers ==
