As the Good Book Says

Butt Monkey
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass
Deadpan Snarker
Dirty Coward: Season 1.
The Everyman
The Heart
Hidden Depths
Manchurian Agent: In Season 4.
Manly Tears: His nickname is "Crying Man," after all.
Only Sane Man
Ted Baxter: He has a lot of these moments in the first two seasons.
Team Dad: In Season 5.
Took a Level In Badass: At the start of the series, he was easily spooked by dangers on parallel worlds. By Season 4, he gladly fights Kromaggs hand-to-hand and mocks them to their faces.

Agent Scully
Badass Grandpa
Came Back Wrong: In a way, as it is implied (and stated to be Word of God), that an Arturo double slid in one episode, leaving the original stranded.
Catch Phrase: The number of times he called someone a "blistering idiot" and yelled "incoming" at the end of a slide borders on this.
Cool Old Guy
Deadpan Snarker
Disappeared Dad: According to "Into the Mystic," he's actually this to someone back home.
Dropped a Bridge On Him
Heroic Sacrifice
I Just Want to Be Special: Season 2 introduced the idea that he resented Quinn for inventing sliding by accident.

"You resent the boy because it comes so easily to him."

Jerk With a Heart of Gold: But virtually every single double encountered was a Jerkass.
Mister Exposition
Parental Substitute: To Quinn.
The Professor
Secretly Dying: Introduced in "The Guardian," where Quinn finds out and is sworn to secrecy. Rembrandt would find out in "Last of Eden."
The Smart Guy
Taking the Bullet
Team Dad: Seasons 1-3.
Technical Pacifist
Ted Baxter

Action Girl
Cute Bruiser
Daddy Issues: Highlighted in "The Return of Maggie Beckett."
Deadpan Snarker
Dead Guy Junior
Defrosting Ice Queen
Distressed Damsel
The Heart: In Season 5.
Hidden Depths
Hot Amazon
Jerkass, later Jerk With a Heart of Gold
Ms. Fanservice
Same Character but Different: Her personality was retooled between Seasons 3 and 4. Lampshaded in the Season 4 premiere with a character with a personality of the Season 3 Maggie.
The Snark Knight
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Averted at first, as she was nothing like Arturo. Her Season 4 onward depiction does bear some similarity to Wade's, though.
Team Mom: In Season 4-5.
Waif Fu

Dropped a Bridge On Him
Gadgeteer Genius: He built his own hang glider for one.
Hollywood Nerd
Put On a Bus To Hell
Smarter Than You Look: Colin is rather naive, but only because he came from a less advanced world. He is nonetheless quite intelligent, adapting rather well to modern technology and figuring things out for himself.

Book Dumb
Last-Name Basis: Mainly because Maggie was incapable of calling him "Quinn," and then everybody picked it up.
Loveable Rogue
The Nth Doctor

Alliterative Name
Black and Nerdy
Break the Cutie: Back-to-back episodes "Applied Physics" and "Strangers and Comrades."
Heel Face Turn: In the episode where she's introduced.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute
