Characters

  • Red (voiced by Ed Skudder) is the main protagonist of the series. He is a fun-loving, wild and crazy party animal who is obsessed with parties, drinking, and girls. He is roommates with Blue and he often times gets on his nerves. He wears a red hat the possibly gives him the ability to fly. His catchphrase is "Cuz I'm Awesome." which he usually says in response to questions people ask him. In the episode "First Day of Cool", it was revealed that he was an extraterrestrial creature that came to earth from a meteor. He crash landed on a playground where he beat up the fifth graders who we're bullying Blue and he instantly became friends with him. In the episode "Trouble Date", Red got a slutty girlfriend named Stacy who annoyed Blue and Pink on their date. Although Red had a girlfriend at the time, he had constantly been seen with other girls afterwards even though Red's relationship with Stacy continued into future episodes.
  • Blue: (Voiced by Zack Keller) is the secondary protagonist of the series. Blue is a depressed, miserable guy who is roommates with Red. He is always getting annoyed with Red and his crazy antics. In the episode "Flame War", Blue got a girlfriend named Pink who continued to be his girlfriend throughout the rest of the series even though there were multiple break ups that occurred between the two. In the episode "Robot Frog", it was revealed that Blue used to have been dating Stacy a short while before he first met Pink. Stacy dumped him I this episode, believing that he was holding her back from being who she truly wanted to be. Blue's interactions with Stacy have been awkward throughout the series especially when she was interacting with Red, hinting what had happened in that episode. In the episode "Terminate-Her!" Blue told Sarah Connors that he was not a virgin even though he has never been seen having sex anywhere in the series. It is possible that he was either lying, or he had sex with Stacy back when he was dating her.
  • Lord Tourettes: (voiced by Ben Tuller) is a magical larper with Tourette's syndrome. He is a recurring character in the show who made his first appearance in the episode "Role Playas". Lord Tourettes is a whimsical and majestic person for the forest of Shit Piss Fart. He will constantly have huge outbursts of profane rage in his sentences which he doesn't seem to care about at all. In the episode "Lord Tourette's Syndrome", it was revealed that his hat is the reason who he constantly cusses and when he doesn't have his hat, he doesn't swear.

Pink: (Voiced by Shea Logsdon) is Blue's girlfriend. She is recurring character who made her first appearance in "Flame War" where she and Blue first met and started going out. Pink seems to be as serious as Blue is and has expressed her fair share of depression. She constantly had problems with Blue which mostly stem from Red ruining their dates together. Pink has broken up with Blue multiple times in the show because of this which makes their relationship a very bumpy and complicated thing. Pink and Blue didn't share their first kiss until the movie where Pink and Blue told each other they loved each other and meant it. In the episode "A Hobbit of Thrones", it was revealed that Pink is best friends with Stacy and they their relationship is similar to Red and Blue's.

  • Stacy: (voiced by Lauren Kay) is Red's girlfriend. She is a recurring character who made her first appearance in "Trouble Date". Stacy is a ditzy, sexually strung up party slut who has sex with tons of different men. Most of it goes to Red, being her boyfriend. Red and Stacy first started their relationship in "Trouble Date" where they annoyed Pink and Blue on their date and ended up having sex on the table. After this episode, Stacy didn't appear again until the episode "Modern Flame War 3" where she had a new haircut and had a job at Cybertime Systems. After Red and Stacy rejoiced with each other, they have been very active and committed to their relationship. In "Robot Frog", it was revealed that Stacy used to have been dating Blue before she started dating Red. Stacy dumped Blue in this episode, Stacy was shown to be a mentally sane, mature woman, who dumped Blue because she believed that Blue was holding her back from what she truly wanted to be which was a psychopathic party slut which is exactly what she became. In the episode "First Day of Cool", it was revealed that she became a slut by eating so much Pixie Stix as a young child. In the episode "A Hobbit of Thrones", it was revealed that she and Pink were best friends and that their relationship was similar to that of Red and Blue's.
  • Broseph: (voiced by Mike Nassar) is an obnoxious bully who serves as the main antagonist of the series. He has a major conflict with Red which makes them rivals. He mad his first appearance in the episode "Zombies & Shotguns" where he was chainsawed to death by Red. It is a running gag in the series for Broseph to die in almost every episode he appears in. Most of his deaths are caused by Red. In the episode "First Day of Cool", Broseph was shown to be the leader of a gang of fifth grade bullied as a child who were seen bullying Blue. In this episode, Broseph and the rest of the fifth graders were attacked and killed by Red when he debuted and saved Blue's life.
