The second male and the third child in the Johnson's family. A lily-livered teenager, he often gets caught up in trends like dreadlocks, and always lies to girls when trying to impress them, which always ends up getting him in trouble, such as lying about his parents having a swimming pool in the third season.

The mother of the family, often unappreciated because of her lack of formal education and limited vocabulary, but is the spine of the family. She got much smarter in the third season. There is normally a gimmick in some of the episodes in which she mispronounces a word only to be corrected by her family members.

Seasons
gollark: Curse, curseforge, Twitch, FTB, who knows any more.

gollark: osmarks.tkcraft™ would be somewhere between PB2 and SC and be designed with somewhat fewer mods.
gollark: So we can blame Java for PB2's failure?
