== The Main Six ==

=== T.J. Detweiler ===

* [[The Cutie]]: Rather redundant to point out, but it's true!

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

** [[Embarrassing First Name]]

** [[Embarrassing Middle Name]]: Ashley ''Funicello''... hence why she goes by [[Last-Name Basis| Spinelli]]

* [[Hair Decorations]]: She wears two red bands (sometimes bows for special occasions) in her hair to keep her pigtails up.

* [[Hidden Depths]]: Occasionally, such as the episode that reveals her first name is Ashley.

** Her personality traits (as well as the boots that she wears, since they protect her feet) make her an ideal partner for Mikey in ballet. For example, she enjoys spinning.

* [[Gasshole]]: At times.

* [[Badass Pacifist]]: With some help from the diggers, he successfully lures several of Benedict's men into a trap.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Believe it or not, Mikey has one -- don't ever mistake his kindness for weakness (as seen in the episode in which he becomes a goalie for Lawson and his soccer team).

* [[Big Eater]]: In the opening credits, he eats a Dagwood sandwich in one bite.

* [[Big Fun]]:

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Moist"

* [[The Dragon]]: To Miss Finster.

* [[Even Evil Has Standards| Even Randall Has Standards]]: He may be a snitch, but he won't do so to any student at a higher grade level than him, such as King Bob because he feels that's just naughty. In the film, he calls out on one of Benedict's henchmen for snitching.

* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]: In the episode "Randall's Reform"

* [[Insult Comic]]: In "Stand-Up Randall"

* [[Redheaded Bully]]: Though not in the normal way, as he has authority figures do his bullying work for him as he's too weak to do it himself.

* [[The Stool Pigeon]]: He's even called this in one episode.

 

=== Menlo ===

* [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: Ashley A. (blonde), Ashley B. and Ashley T. (brunette), and Ashley Q. (redhead)

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "''Scandalous!''"

* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Ashey Q. is surprisingly ''really'' good at kickball.

* [[The Danza]]: Ashley Johnson as Ashley T. is a bit of a subversion, as she [[The Other Darrin|replaced Rachel Crane]] as her voice actress.

* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: His real name is Francis.

* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Everyone Calls Him Hustler Kid]]

* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: What do you think he does?

* [[Friend in the Black Market]]

=== Guru Kid ===

{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' Klee Bragger, Ryan O'Donohue (''Recess: Taking the Fifth Grade'')}}

* [[Hermit Guru]]: Parodied.

 

=== Gordy ===

* [[Scout Out]]: He's a member of the Woodchuck Scouts

** [[Shout-Out]]: Which is most likely a reference to the [[Carl Barks]] ''[[Donald Duck]]'' comics, featuring the Junior Woodchucks.

 

== Facuilty members ==

=== Miss Finster ===

{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' April Winchell}}

* [[Breakout Character]]

* [[Characterization Marches On]]: In the first season, she actually enjoyed punishing kids. From the second season and onward, while still a [[Sadist Teacher]], she became a [[Sugar and Ice Personality]] [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] and never went to the extremes she used to.

* [[Fat Bastard]]

* [[Fiery Redhead]]: She was a redhead when she was younger, but still very fiery.

* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: In ''[[Recess: School's Out]]'', she's proven to be this in the `60s (she has the same voice, however due to her voice actress using her "normal" voice for T.J.'s mom)

* [[Kujira]]: In the Japanese dub.

* [[Last-Name Basis]]: Justified… she’s a teacher, so it makes sense for students to call her Finster rather than Muriel, her first name.

* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Finster would only punish students at the school if she has a valid reason and evidence, like a rule violation. If you got done nothing wrong, she won’t bother.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The red to Miss Grotke's blue.

* [[Foil]]: She's as affable as Ms. Finster is not.

* [[Foot Focus]]: She's usually shown wearing sandals

* [[Genki Girl]]: Sometimes

* [[Granola Girl]]

* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: With Spinelli

* [[Masako Katsuki]]: In the Japanese dub

* [[Non-Action Big Bad]]: He's not a fighter, that would be his lackey Kojak. He manipulates others to do his dirty work instead. He DOES arm himself with a gun that sedates his victims, however.

* [[Never My Fault]]: The plot of the movie (which was started by his animosity towards Principal Prickly) could be avoided if Dr. Phillium Benedict would face responsibility for his own actions.
