1. Actor Allusion: The writers will occasionally have him say something that sounds like a quote by one Jean-Luc Picard. 2. Adam Westing: More or less the character's reason for existing. Literally any time the writers can get him to say something that would sound ridiculous coming out of Captain Picard'smouth, they will. 3. Ax Crazy: As time passed, he's become more unstable. 4. Bald of Awesome: Though considerably less that Stewart himself. 5. Berserk Button: Do nottouch his sandwich. 6. Bi...

Principal Brian Lewis
The principal of Steve’s High School. Voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson. 1. Apathetic Teacher: Steve lampshades this by admitting to his face that he can't believe he's an educator. His job's mostly administrative. He outright says that he doesn't give a damn about the school. 2. Ascended Extra: Moved from being an incidental character to becoming the focus of the main plot of two consecutive episodes. 3. Ax Crazy: Utterly unhinged. 4.

Barry Robinson
1. Ambiguously Gay: Might be crushing on Snot. 2. The Big Guy: To Steve. 3. Berserk Button: Don't deprive him of his candy. Last person who did it got shot. Then Barry jammed then twisted his finger in the wound for good measure. 4. Beware the Nice Ones: Even without his medication, he's okay with mass-swearing, literally twisting a bullet in the wound and opines killing people when not necessary. 5. Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Even without his pills, he has some moments. 6. The Chessmaster 7....
Jack Smith
Stan's father, a jewel thief and con-man. Voiced by Daran Norris. 1. Aborted Arc: His stint as Krampus was quickly done away with. 2. Abusive Parents: Of the emotional variety.

It doesn't last. 5. Badass 6. Daddy Didn't Show 7. Disappeared Dad: To Stan. 8. Eyepatch of Power 9. Killed Off for Real: In "Ghost Dad". 1...
Betty Smith
Stan's somewhat needy mother. Voiced by Swoosie Kurtz. 1. Hot Mom 2. My Beloved Smother: Subverted. Betty lives for Stan's attention but she's actually looking for a boyfriend so she can have somebody who'll make her happy. The relationship crosses into disturbing territory at times, but it's Stan that has the unhealthy obsession, not Betty. 2.1. What do you do when your mom's unhappy? Jerry left her feeling crappy? Sing her a shanty nice and snappy! Wash her in the bathtub!

Francine's adoptive father. Voiced by Tzi Ma. 1. Asian Rudeness 2. Its Pronounced Tropay: It's "Bah-ba" not "Baba", something he has to constantly correct Stan on. 3. No Name Given / Bilingual Bonus: Bàba is simply the Chinese word for 'father'. 4. Papa Wolf: Well papa-in-law wolf. He saved Stan from a fire.
Greg Corbin and Terry Bates
1. Badass Gay: Both Terry and Greg at times, such as when Terry punches Stan in the face for kidnapping their daughter. 2. Beta Couple: Arguably the most prominent relationship on the show after Stan and Francine (and maybe Jeff and Hayley). 3. Camp Gay: Conspicuously so. 4. Gay Conservative: "Lincoln Lover" reveals that Greg is a Log Cabin Republican. Terry furiously calls him out on how little sense this makes, highlighting that Greg voted againsthis own right to marry. 5. Happily Married:...
Linda Memari
An Iranian-American neighbour and friend of Francine. Voiced by Megyn Price. 1. Bi the Way or Lipstick Lesbian: Made out with Francine in "Not Particularly Desperate Housewives" as a way of saying a goodbye, despite being married to a man. Miraculously, this saves Francine from getting killed by the Lady Bugs, and Francine thanks Linda, thinking the kiss was a plan to save her. Linda, clearly disappointed, just goes along with that and claims she needed to get back home to her husbands that "...

Santa Claus
1. Adaptational Villainy: A wannabe A God Am I conqueror who operates a child slave mining operation at the North Pole. Not exactly as kind as most depictions of Santa Clausin media. 2. Bad Santa 3. Clothes Make the Superman: He has some innate power, but his suit is what truly makes him a threat. 4. Deconstruction: The whole point of his portrayal here. Santa gives toys to all children, even the bad ones. As he lampshades, he's the bad guy getting loads of money from toys. 5. Take Over the W...
Roger's Species
1. Aerith and Bob: They've got names as varied from Zing to Roger and Foster. 2. Bizarre Alien Biology: 2.1. They can remain conscious while being dissected but they need to be put back together quickly. 2.2. Their pancreas is a feral creature with a taste for peanut butter. 2.3. When really, really happy, they can make a rainbow out of urine. 2.4. They're also immune to Laser-Guided Amnesia, fire and electricity (though they can still feel pain from it). 2.5.
