Recurring characters

  • Oswald Kepphart: Nicknamed, Ozzie. Local power walker, caterpillar enthusiast. He used to hate skateboarding but recently became a skater, the first sport he did not quit after a day. He occasionally sticks his butt out in another direction, which annoys Luther. When he skates he flaps his arms as if he's attempting to fly. In the episode Luther Unleashed he became the grade A skater of Gilroy.
  • Donald Donaldson: Nicknamed Don. Owner and proprietor of Don's Donuts, Zeke and Luther's favorite hangout. In the episode "Luther Leads", Luther called Don a donuthead because he finally realized that he is the only one that works at Don's Donuts and also realized that he's always employee of the month every month (because he's the only one who works at Don's Donuts.) But in the second season he remodels his shop and hires more workers.
  • Poochie McGruder: (season 1) Ginger's friend who helps her to prank Zeke. She is weird, likes clapping at anything Ginger says or does, and her catchphrase is "Yay!".
  • Olivia Masterson: (season 1) Formerly the olive girl for the "Langley Olives" company, she was once Zeke's next door neighbor and crush. She tried designing him a skater look in episode "Cape Fear" but only for it to fail, mainly to a large cape that became a safety hazard. It is noted that she has a crush on Zeke. She did not know if he liked her until he liked her in "Adventure Boy". She is said to like brave guys.
  • Garrett Delfino (seasons 1-2): Nicknamed Stinky Cast. Local boy camera man who constantly wears the same sleeveless white shirts, jean shorts, and trademark cast. He's Zeke and Luther's camera guy. He has a huge crush on Ginger which Zeke uses as leverage to pay for Stinky Cast's videos. He had his cast removed in "The Big Red Stacking Machine" which he was upset about due to losing his trademark. He then proceeded to try to injure himself to get a new cast and succeeded, thus restoring his name.
  • Reginald Johnson: Nicknamed Jumpsuit. Zeke and Luther's cranky ex-astronaut neighbor who commonly throws away old space stuff in the trash and has a gravity simulator in his garage. His nickname is because of the fact that he wears a jumpsuit every day. He once called Luther a menace but made no comment about Zeke. However, it is more probable that he despises Zeke more than Luther.
  • Kirby Cheddar: He lives near Zeke and Luther. He plays the airdrums and the trombone. His father is a doctor and his mom is overprotective.
  • Lisa Grubner: A young, geeky girl who has an overwhelming crush on Zeke. She lives in a pink dollhouse in her parents' driveway. Her first appearance was in the episode "Donut Jockey".
  • Roy Waffles: Luther's younger and rarely mentioned brother. He is obsessed with playing video games and stays in his room so much that he didn't even know what the sun was when Zeke and Luther took him outside. When someone takes his video game away from him, he gets "Roy Rage" and becomes super strong, allowing him to bend metal bars and lift a car. He has appeared in the episodes "Little Bro, Big Trouble" and "Sibling Rivalries".
