Characters from ''[[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]'' include:
== The Main Six ==
=== T.J. Detweiler ===
{{quote|
* [[Accidental Hero]]: In the episode "The Shiner", T.J. gets a black eye and everyone thinks he did a heroic act to get it. However, he told everyone at the end of the episode why he got it, and that he was too
* [[Acrofatic]]: He's a more subtle example. While he's not "huge", he's
* [[Adorkable]]: While not as much as Gretchen or Gus, his optimistic nature mixed with his ditzy moments and sweetness comes out as this. And in kindergarten, he was a [[Shrinking Violet]].
* [[Ambiguously Jewish]]: TJ has a nebbishy father and an overprotective mother, and once played "Harvey Hanukkah" in the school holiday pageant.
* [[Arch Enemy]]: He's this to Principal Prickly. He doesn't actually hate him, he just likes making fun of him.
* [[Art Evolution]]: In season one, he was a lot chubbier (and moreso in the more [[Off-Model]] episodes of the season) and had highlights in his eyes, which were gone by season two for unknown reasons (either because he was the only character that had them and it looked weird, or because the artists forgot to draw them 50% of the time anyway so they were removed)
* [[Badass Adorable]]
Line 17 ⟶ 21:
* [[Big Eater]]: While it isn't shown on-screen, "The Great State Fair" and "Omega Kids" hints that he can be one, and this was also hinted in some print material.
* [[Big Fun]]: He's not "huge", but he's a bit plump. As for "fun", ''you'd best believe it''
* [[Big Man
* [[Blue Eyes]]: He has bright baby-blue eyes according to [[Word of God]].
* [[Book Dumb]]: He got a C- on a book report because he used the book's cover blurb, thinks "spy" is spelled S-P-I, gets a 10.1% on a test, however, on the playground, he can pull of elaborate schemes (
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Happens after seeing one of his plans go wrong, hurting Gus in the process.
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]
Line 28 ⟶ 32:
* [[The Danza]]: His first name is changed to Tobias in the Swedish dub, and his voice actor is Tobias Sward.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: At times. This is more evident in the earlier episodes.
* [[Determinator]]: He doesn't give up that easy when on a mission.
* [[The Ditz]]: A subtle example at times in some of the later episodes. He gets a 10.1% on a test (out of 100%), and says that it's one of his better grades.
* [[Dub Name Change]]: His first name is changed to "Tobias" in the Swedish dub.
** His named is shortened to "Jay" in the Greek dub.
* [[Dumb Is Good]]
* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: His first name is ''Theodore''.
* [[Embarrassing Middle Name]]: His middle name is ''Jasper''. No wonder he [[Only Known
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: While unintentional, he apparently has more fangirls than any other male character.
* [[Fat Idiot]]: He's pudgy, though his dumb side comes out of laziness instead of actual stupidity. He's very street smart, just not book smart.
Line 44 ⟶ 49:
* [[Heroic Blue Screen of Death]]: In "Lost Leader" (the final episode aired before the DTV movies)
* [[High School Hustler|Elementary School Hustler]]
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Though again, his idiocy comes out of laziness instead of actual stupidity.
* [[Ink Suit Actor]]: Subverted, as it wasn't intended, but he does look a lot like his second voice actor, Andy Lawrence. [[Ashley Johnson]] lampshades this in the bonus features on the DVD of [[The Movie]].
* [[It's Personal]]: He decides it's personal when he discovers that Dr. Phillium Benedict wishes to abolish recess. Even more so when he discovers that Benedict plans to destroy summer vacation.
* [[Keet]]: He has some shades of this.
* [[Kindhearted Simpleton]]: He may be a bit ditzy, but he's got a huge heart
Line 52 ⟶ 58:
* [[The Messiah]]
* [[Moe Stare]]: He's able to give this to Gretchen to urge her to help him with his plan in "A Great State Fair".
* [[Nice Hat]]: He's hardly ever seen without it.
* [[Nice Jewish Boy]]: While slightly ambiguous given the events of the [[Christmas Episode]], he's a sweetie
* [[Only Known
* [[The Other Darrin]]: He was replaced a number of times in the series. Ross Malinger played him in season one, Andrew Lawrence (who's considered the best of all the kids who did his voice) played him for the rest of the series and movie, and Myles Jeffrey played him in the direct-to-video movies released after the show ended
* [[The Pete Best]]: There aren't many fans who remember that Ross Malinger was the voice of T.J. in season one, and only remember him being voiced by Andrew Lawrence from the second season until the end of the series.
* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: Arguably his default set of eyes in season one.
* [[Rousing Speech]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The red to Vince's blue.
Line 65 ⟶ 70:
* [[The Slacker]]
* [[Snooping Little Kid]]: In [[The Movie]]

=== Vince LaSalle ===
{{quote|
* [[The Ace]]
* [[Badass Adorable]]
Line 92 ⟶ 97:
=== Ashley Spinelli ===
{{quote|
* [[Action Girl]]: She's very strong.
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Spinelli's ethnic background has been called into question. Since she has almond-shaped eyes found on Asian girls in cartoons and light brown skin, many viewers have assumed that Spinelli was originally from somewhere in South Asia and was adopted by Caucasian parents. On the other hand, Spinelli's skin tone is also found on Southern Italians (
* [[Badass Adorable]]: She may look cute...but she shouldn't be underestimated because of that.
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't
** Don't do what Prickly did and ''mess with her hat'', even if you was temporary hypnotizes into the mind of a child. Prickly got lucky because he’s the principal and Gretchen happened to be there.
* [[The Big Guy|The Big]]
* [[Brown Eyes]]: According to [[Word of God]]
* [[Bruiser
* [[Brutal Honesty]]: This is why she wins at a beauty pageant...while she follows what Vince tells at her at first (and actually agrees with what the things he says), she eventually reveals what a tomboy she is.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: She may be cute, but she's far from weak.
* [[The Cutie]]: Rather redundant to point out, but it's true!
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"|Do Not Call Me Ashley]]: She refers to herself by her last name, as her first name is Ashley...like the mean girls at school.
** [[Embarrassing First Name]]
** [[Embarrassing Middle Name]]: Ashley ''Funicello''... hence why she goes by [[Last-Name Basis| Spinelli]]
* [[Dub Name Change]]: "Patricia" in the Portuguese dub.
* [[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.
** Though she's not the most feminine girl in the world, she's actually a ''good'' artist.
** 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.
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Subverted, as when it comes to "girlish", she's anything but.
* [[Grumpy Bear]]
* [[Hollywood Tone Deaf]]: According to the other kids.
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: With Miss Grotke
* [[Jerk
* [[Last-Name Basis]]: Justified in that her first name carries a stigma on the playground.
* [[Little Miss Badass]]: The toughest kid at her school.
* [[Little Miss Snarker]]
* [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]]: Definitely more masculine than Mikey. She's also manlier than TJ, though TTJ himself isn't terribly girly.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: In the pilot, as she looked like she never left kindergarten...which is ironic considering that she does act a bit like the kindergartners do in this series.
* [[One of the Boys]]: One of her friends IS a girl though.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The red to Gretchen's blue.
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: As seen in "The Beauty Contest".
* [[Star-Making Role]]: Along with [[King of the Hill|Bobby Hill]], Spinelli was this for Pamela Segall-Aldon (in terms of voice acting).
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Tomboy to Gretchen's (relative) Girly Girl.
* [[Tsundere]]
* [[Tsurime Eyes]]
Line 130 ⟶ 140:
=== Gretchen Grundler ===
{{quote|
* [[Adorkable]]
* [[Alliterative Name]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Never suggest that she's dumb. You may not be able to live to regret it.
** Don't tease about for PDA either... Krust The Worst has this the hard way.
** [[Took a Level
** [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: This was certainly shown in "The Girl Was Trouble" and the film.

Line 169 ⟶ 179:
=== Mikey Blumberg ===
{{quote|
* [[Accidental Athlete]]: In "Soccer Boy"
* [[Acrofatic]]
* [[Adorkable]]: When the plot calls for it.
* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[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).
** [[Beware
* [[Big Eater]]: In the opening credits, he eats a Dagwood sandwich in one bite.
* [[Big Fun]]:
* [[Big Guy, Little Guy]]: The big to Gus' little.
* [[The Big Guy|The Big]] [[The Heart|Heart]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Has shades of this
* [[Dumb Blonde]]: At times, though it's more "naive" than "dumb"
* [[Foil]]: To Spinelli in appearance and behavior.
* [[Gentle Giant]]: He's one of the most likable members of the cast.
* [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]]: Probably the nicest kid on the playground, followed by Gretchen. (Though Gretchen ''has'' gotten in trouble at school before.)
* [[Kindhearted Simpleton]]
* [[Large Ham]]: Almost all the time. Comes with the fact that he's into poetry and art.
Line 195 ⟶ 207:
=== Gus Griswald ===
{{quote|

* [[Alliterative Name]]
Line 214 ⟶ 226:
* [[Cowardly Lion]]
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: He's a one-kid army at dodgeball.
* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: His broken base aside, Gus is probably one of the most adorable characters in the show. Doesn't hurt that his voice actor, Courtland Mead, was one.
* [[Dumb Blonde]]: He's not really "dumb", just ''very'' gullible.
* [[Friendless Background]]: Having moved from town to town all the time, not to mention being shy and somewhat dweeby, poor Gus hardly had any friends before moving to town, and meeting the main five.
Line 232 ⟶ 244:
* [[New Transfer Student]]
* [[Nice Guy]]
* [[Non
* [[The Other Marty]]: Ryan O`Donahue (who already was Digger Dave and Randall) played Gus in his first episode in the initial airing. Courtland Mead (whom some 1990s cartoon watchers may recognize as [[Nightmare Ned]]) dubbed over his lines for the reruns and played Gus since then.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The blue to Mikey's red.
Line 241 ⟶ 253:

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Moist"

* [[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.
* [[Friendly Enemy]]: When the plot calls for it.
* [[Gonk]]: He pretty much resembles a human/lizard hybrid..which is probably intentional.
* [[Hate Sink]]: He's not exactly the favorite kid on the playground. This makes him the opposite of TJ, since (almost) everyone likes him.
* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]: In the episode "Randall's Reform"
* [[Insult Comic]]: In "Stand-Up Randall"
* [[Jerkass]]/[[Jerk
** [[Jerk
* [[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.

* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[King Bob the Nth]]
* [[Large Ham]]: Oh, yes.
* [[Pet The Dog]]: There are moments where Bob becomes the voice of reason.
* [[Put On a Bus]]: In ''Taking the Fifth Grade'', he leaves for middle school. Though he makes one more appearance to set the new king straight in one scene.▼
** In "Telltale Heart", King Bob was informed about Gus until Finster explained her actions for getting {{Spoiler| Randal}} busted. Bob realized that the Main Six, including Gus, kept quiet about. In fact, even if they did stitch, he might've just pardon Gus any else, due to amount you did stitch and the fact {{Spoiler| Randal}} was hated.
** If you noticed a kid happening an accident and you do the same on purpose to keep the poor victim company, you have earned Bob's respect as he sees that as a sign of bravery. {{Spoiler| Vince, TJ, and Gus}} all {{spoiler| ripped their pants}} to help Mikey in "Mikey's Pants".

* [[The Cutie]]: Being so cute, kind, sweet, and innocent, she ''more'' than qualifies for this trope
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: As seen in a few episodes, much to everyone's surprise.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Her real name is Theresa La''Maize''. It may also tie in with her [[Military Brat]]ness as a nod to US Air Force Gen. Curtis LeMay.

* [[Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold]]: She HAS been portrayed this way, as hard as it is to believe.

▲* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: His episode is one of the darkest episodes of the series and every scene he appears in takes a darker turn. Not to mention, that unlike all other antagonists, his actions are played seriously and he is downright cruel (calling TJ sappy boy, just because he showed emotion and humilliated him in front of the school) and every other characters fear him, even TJ, who normally stands up to evils of adults.
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: Despite appearing in one episode, he is the cruelest character in the entire series and is one of few antagonists of the series that can be called truly evil.
* [[Sadist Teacher]]: Put emphasis on [[Complete Monster|sadist]] part.
=== Dr. Phillium Benedict ===
[[Category:Characters (Animation)]]▼
The Big Bad of the movie.
* [[Arch-Enemy]]: To Principal Prickly.
* [[Bad Boss]]: When he finds that his head scientist keeps failing to move the moon out of orbit, he decides to give him detention...which is implied to be solitary confinement.
* [[Big Bad]]: He's the main villain of Recess: School's Out.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: He mentions that he dislikes violence, though he seems to get a kick out of humiliating Principal Prickly and hires the violent Kojak to do his dirty work.
* [[Evil Teacher]]: He gives his lackeys detention when they make him angry, as one particular scientist does.
* [[From Bad to Worse]]: He attempted to abolish recess and was fired for it. He then became secretary of education and attempted to abolish it nation-wide, but the president found out what he was up to and put a stop to it - you guessed it, by firing him. Then he decided that instead of just getting rid of recess, he would get rid of summer vacation instead, because it's basically the biggest recess there is.
* [[The Fundamentalist]]: His motivation for destroying summer vacation is to prove Principal Prickly wrong.
* [[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.
* [[Talking the Monster to Death]]: Gretchen attempts to do this, but he's too far gone to be reasoned with.
* [[Vile Villain, Saccharine Show]]: It's jarring that there's a villain in this series that wants to put Earth in perpetual winter.
* [[We used to be Friends]]: He used to be friends with Principal Prickly. This all changed when Prickly discovered that he planned to get rid of Recess.
