Douglas Yancey "Doug" Funnie.

Voiced by Billy West (Nickelodeon), Thomas McHugh (Disney)

Adorably Precocious Child
Adorkable: Let's just say this: he is so socially akward to the nth degree that makes him so cute!
- And when Patti's around, expect this to be turned Up to Eleven.
Badass Adorkable: In his Quailman fantasies. He can be this outside his fantasies whenever he pulls a Moment of Awesome.
Billy West: In the Nickelodeon cartoon. Hard to believe that that's also the guy who voices Stimpy (later Ren and Stimpy following John K's termination) in The Ren and Stimpy Show.
Book Dumb
A Boy and His Semi-Anthropomorphic dog
Break the Cutie: During the Nickelodeon Christmas special
Cannot Spit It Out: Goes the entire series without being able to reveal his feelings towards Patti...until Patti asks Doug to go on a "date-date" with her, revealing her feelings.
Captain's Log: His journal.
Character Development: He becomes less shy in the Disney series and gets more of a backbone as the series goes on.
Charlie Brown Baldness: Made odder by the fact that he needed to get a haircut in one episode, and in another episode, worried that he was going bald.
- However, most fanart makes him a brunette.
Corrupt the Cutie: Doug's Big Comeback from the Disney series.
Embarrassing Middle Name
- Full Name Ultimatum: It's one thing when Theda, Phil, and even Judy calls him by his full-name. However, when Mayor White calls him in this matter, thanks to Roger, it was a whole game changer since it means the situation got out of control.
The Everyman
Extreme Doormat: Has shades of this.
The Hero
I Have This Friend: It's not me!
The Klutz: At times.
Limited Wardrobe: Well, actually, this applies to all the characters, but Doug lampshaded it by showing everyone else that his wardrobe is filled with multiple identical sets of his outfit.
Masako Nozawa: His voice in the Japanese dub.
The Messiah
Mr. Imagination
Naive Newcomer
Nice Guy
Ridiculously Average Guy: He's not really Book Dumb, but also not a straight-A student, he's not very handsome, but not ugly (he's cute, though), he's not much of an athlete, but not terrible in athletics. He even described himself as being "painfully average".
- It culminates in the second-to-last season where finds out that his permanent record just says "average" in all the fields.
Secret Diary
Shrinking Violet: Sometimes.
The Southpaw
Vocal Evolution: In the "Doug Can't Dance" pilot, his voice was more high-pitched and nasal compared to his voice in every other episodes of the Nick series.
- During season four of the Nick series, his voice started to get lower.

Porkchop

Voiced by Fred Newman

The Heart
Hollywood Tone Deaf: In the ABC/Disney version.
Homeschooled Kids: In the first episode of the Disney version, she tells Doug that she's only going to be in middle school for a couple of hours in the afternoon and would be home-schooled with her dad. Eventually ends up back in public school full-time after her dad gets a teaching position.
Master of the Mixed Message
Missing Mom: Patti's mom died in a car accident (which may or may not be connected with her father being in a wheelchair)
Shorttank
Start My Own

Roger Klotz

Voiced by Billy West (Nickelodeon), Chris Phillips (Disney)

Anti Role Model: Was used as this in the Nick series, less so in the Disney series.

Evil Laugh
Gang of Bullies: His gang which consists of him, Boomer, Ned, and Willy
Hidden Depths: In "Doug Wears Tights," Roger demonstrates some surprisingly good dance skills. He actually played the Rat King in the town's amateur production of The Nutcracker.

- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: But other times he can be quite sweet!
Large Ham
Mr. Fanservice: Believe it or not, but he has a ton of fangirls.
Pet the Dog: He's gotten a couple of these moments.
Rags to Riches: The backstory on how Roger became rich. Which resulted in him becoming a...
- Rich Bastard: Retooled into a male version of this trope in Disney's Doug. In the original series he was dirt poor and lived in a trailer.
Redheaded Bully
Screams Like a Little Girl
Troubled but Cute

Stinky

Cats Are Mean
Morality Pet: As nasty as Roger can be there is no doubt about how much he loves his cat. Check out "Doug's Fat Cat" where Roger actually breaks down in tears when he thinks Stinky is sick.
Right-Hand-Cat: To Roger
Samus Is a Girl: Thought to be a boy until she had kittens.
Your Tomcat Is Pregnant

Beebe Bluff

Voiced by the late Alice Playten

American Accents: She has a vaguely Brooklyn accent. Justified, as her voice actress had one.

The Chick: Though she can occasionally be a Badass Normal too; the girl knows how to get what she wants.
Daddy's Girl: At times.
Fallen Princess: In the episode "Beebe Goes Broke".
Fiery Redhead
Little Miss Snarker: Has her moments.
Lovable Alpha Bitch: Despite being filthy rich and her family owning the whole town, she's usually quite nice.
Rich Bitch: When the plot calls for it.
Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense: At times, like in one episode where she doesn't even know what the term "broke" (as in, bankrupt) means.

Tsundere: Towards Skeeter.

Judith Anastasia "Judy" Funnie

Voiced by Becca Lish

Beatnik
Bratty Teenage Daughter: At times.
Cloudcuckoolander: Oh yes.
Cool Big Sis: At times.
Cool Shades: Wears these all the time.
Large Ham: Proud to put the "drama" in "drama queen".
May-December Romance: Roger and Judy. Roger being 14/15,and Judy being 18!
Nice Hat: Her beret.
One-Shot Character: Judy had a boyfriend named Kyle who left by the end of "Doug's Sister Act" and never came back!
Pet the Dog: Judy's one of the main antagonists of the series...yet she most definitely gets a lot of these
Sunglasses at Night: She does take them off every now and then, but not often.

Phil and Theda Funnie

Camera Fiend: Doug's dad, he actually is a professional photographer.
Good Parents
Happily Married
Standard Fifties Father

Bud and Tippy Dink

Catch Phrase: "Very Expensive"
Deadpan Snarker: Mrs. Dink (in the Nick series).
Happily Married: Quite, actually.
Intergenerational Friendship

Connie Benge

All Girls Want Bad Boys: It's been known in a 1999 Disney Adventure's comic that Connie has a crush on Roger!
Ascended Extra: She's given a much bigger role in Disney's Doug.
Cloudcuckoolander: Sometimes.
The Cutie
Fan Service Pack: In the Disney series.

Chalky Studebaker

The Ace: Deconstructed somewhat.
The Big Guy
Big Man on Campus: Fits Chalky to a T!
Jerk Jock: Averted. He's the school jock, but he's really nice.

Al and Moo Sleech

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Played with. A lot of the kids think their dad's some sort of insane and amoral Mad Scientist that Al and Moo hardly try to deny, and in fact act afraid about any of the kids meeting him. However, when we meet the man he's... A donut maker. Granted he builds his own equipment, but hardly the sort who conducts 'strange experimentations.'
May-December Romance: Both have crushes on Judy.
The Smart Guys

Mayor (later Principal) Bob White

Unknown Rival: For Tippy Dink at least.
Verbal Tic: "Vote for me!"

Lamarr Bone

Voiced by Doug Preis

Berserk Button: Don't imply that he wears pink underwear if you know what's good for you.
Dean Bitterman
Jerkass With a Heart of Gold: If you play your cards right, Bone can relax any of his punishment and/or any of the strict rules if deem pointless.
- This was seen in "Doug Battles The Rulemeister", when Patty explains to him about the punishment for grabbing Doug's comic. Bone lets Doug ask a question relating to the school rules... leading to this.
- He's also skilled in yodeling and clog dancing, which he has won accolades and trophies and isn't shy about it.
Large Ham: His voices is an impression of Don Knotts.
Obstructive Bureaucrat
Sadist Teacher: At his worst.
- Stern Teacher: At his best.

William "Bill" Bluff III

Voiced by Doug Preis

American Accents: Dixie.
Big Bad: In The Movie.
Corrupt Corporate Executive: Moreso in the Disney episodes and movie.
Heel Face Turn: Whenever he's in a more villainous role (namely Doug's Christmas Story and the movie), he always turns around at the end and does the right thing.
Hot Dad: Admit it!
Knight Templar / Well-Intentioned Extremist: In "Doug's Christmas Story".
Lantern Jaw of Justice: While the "Justice" part varies, he's got a pretty impressive chin.
One Judge to Rule Them All: In Doug's New School. After Principal (formerly Mayor) White holds a contest to name said new school, Mr. Bluff names it the "Beebe Bluff Middle School" after his daughter, making the whole contest (and conflict of the episode) pointless.
Papa Wolf: Very protective of his beloved daughter Beebe. When it seems that Porkchop has attacked her in Doug's Christmas Story (when he was really trying to save her from thin ice), Mr. Bluff's actions border on Knight Templar Parent.
- To wit: He strong arms then-mayor White into forcibly incarcerating Porkchop in the county's toughest, meanest dog pound, starts a public smear campaign against Doug and his family simply because they protested Porkchop's harsh treatment, and blatantly attempted to rig Porkchop's trial by overdramatizing Bebbe's injury. (the leg cast was clearly fake)
Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense: In one episode, he tries to "inspire" Doug with the story of how he started his bumper sticker business all by himself... before he remembered he was filthy rich and hired people to do all the hard work for him.
Southern Gentleman
Upper Class Twit: More of this than a Corrupt Corporate Executive in the Nickelodeon episodes.

Guy Graham

Voiced by Guy Hadley

Catch Phrase: "BANG!", "BIG BIG BIG", "MONDO", and "That's HOT"!
Disco Dan: Guy's favorite kind of music.
Flanderization: He's an obnoxious egotist but not really that much of a jerk in the show at all, as stated below. The Movie, however, inexplicably takes his negative qualities to the extreme and turns him into an outright villain.
Intergenerational Friendship: Guy with Mr. Bluff. Especially since Guy's parents are never shown and Mr. Bluff is the closest thing to a parent he has on the show.
It's All About Me: Guy surely thinks so, at least to a mild extent.
Jive Turkey: Guy should be the Trope Namer of this trope, seriously! EVERYTHING that comes out of his mouth is either this or Totally Radical!
Keet
Large Ham
Motor Mouth: When Guy talks, you might feel like you need a nap.
No Indoor Voice
The Rival: He's this to Doug, at least when it comes to romance: Guy's after Patti, too.
- Unknown Rival: Guy doesn't realize how much a burden he is on Doug.
School Newspaper Newshound
Small Name, Big Ego: And since his name is "Guy", it's literatelly a small name.

Willy, Boomer, and Ned

Bad Bad Acting: Boomer in "Doug on Stage" when playing the role of a tree.
Cloudcuckoolander: Willy! So adorable, yet, so dumb.
Cowardly Sidekick: Applies to all. Especially Boomer and Willy!
The Cutie: Willy. With that cute little tooth and clueless personality, how could you NOT want to hug him?
The Ditz: Willy
Five-Bad Band:
- Big Bad: Roger
- The Dragon: Boomer
- Evil Genius: Ned
- The Brute: Willy
Gang of Bullies
Missing Mom: Literally MISSING mom! Willy's mom has never made an on-screen appearance.
Only Sane Man: Ned to an extent, he's considerably more intelligent than the rest.
Sarcasm Blind: WILLY! On several occasions.
Three Amigos: Nuff said.
Verbal Tic: Willy's DUUUH!

Skunky Beaumont

Cloudcuckoolander: To some extent, yes. He's implied to actually know more than he lets on.
The Ghost: He wasn't seen until Disney's Doug, but was very much mentioned.
Hair of Gold
Surfer Dude: At least he talks like it.

Sally

Betty and Veronica: Sally is the Betty out of the eighth graders, and Cassandra Bleem is Veronica.
The Lancer: To Guy
The Mentor: Essentially is this to Doug when Guy sends him out to do an investigative report for the school newspaper. A Running Gag throughout the episode was her advice being proven wrong mere seconds after she gives it to him.
No Hugging, No Kissing: Guy and Sally work together, but yet as much time they spend with each other, there's absolutely no romance between them.
Plot Allergy: In one of the "Doug" books, we find out Sally's allergic to chalk. Due to the fact, Doug is trying to find out who drew on the wall with chalk.
Recurring Extra
School Newspaper Newshound
Smart People Wear Glasses
Women Are Wiser: Than Guy, considering how loud and egotistical he is. Sally's more level-headed.
You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Well, at least greenish-blue hair.

Fentruck Stimmel

Cassandra Bleem

Alpha Bitch: Cassandra is this trope.
The Beautiful Elite
It's All About Me
Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: She's DEFINITELY the biggest jerk on the whole show...even worse than Roger and Mr. Bluff by a landslide! She's not even misunderstood!
Valley Girl: Her voice surely applies, even if she's not The Ditz by any means. She's just Book Dumb at times.

Herman

Attractive Bent Gender: Roger falls for Herman when he's disguised as "Hermione."
Extreme Omnivore
Fish People
Grotesque Gallery
Stock Ness Monster
