Characters

• James Quall: is a standup comedian, celebrity impressionist, and singer that debuted during Season 2. He has also appeared on Tim & Eric Nite Live. He is famous for his bad impersonations of celebrities such as Bill Cosby, Bob Hope, Michael Jackson, and Jack Nicholson, as well as American presidents Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan. He usually incorporates spaghetti and meatballs into his work. Quall has been featured singing self-styled songs such as "Beach Blast" and "The Car of the Future." Quall himself was impersonated by comedian Bill Hader for the fictional James Quall Story feature film during Season 3. Quall has often teamed with fellow recurring character, David Liebe Hart, in fictional movies such as Back to Squall, an Odd Couple-themed film starring Quall, "John A. Hill" (actor Jonah Hill), and Hart, about the misadventures of two roommates at Admiral David Liebe Hart's Sailing Quallage, in Season 4, and Quall of Duty, a police crime drama co-starring Hart, in Season Cinco. Quall is a personal friend and next door neighbor of Hart, and has appeared with him on Hart's Public-access television cable TV show in Los Angeles, California.
• Tairy Greene: Played by Zach Galifianakis, a multi-talented actor known for his work in a Gravy Robbers restaurant employee training video, as the lead-role in Little Dancing Man, and the hit action television show The Snuggler, where he played a man who helped people by snuggling them. As The Snuggler, he rescued Tim from the woods after an attack by Chippy's mother by nursing him back to health with snuggles and rehabilitation. Tairy stars in the Snuggler video game, in which players must snuggle and earn energy crystahls, which can be traded in for a number of green shields. He hosts the Tairy Greene Acting Seminar For Children. As a graduate of James Sprunt Community College and having studied under the tutelage of Randy Tutelage, he often embellishes his acting credentials and abilities usually to the dismay of the children. Tairy Greene is perceived as a little bit crazy; he attributes this to having once stuck his tongue in a burrito. Tairy Greene directed the fictional Channel 5 movie Back To Squall and the fictional film Little Danson Man starring Ted Danson and David Cross. Cinco produces "The Tairy Greene Machine," a video jukebox pre-loaded with every appearance Greene had ever made. The device runs on "Greene technology," as it only runs on tap water.
• Richard Dunn: A senior citizen who has been a part of nearly every episode since the very first episode of Season 1, in which he portrayed a congratulatory version of Tim's Dad. He hosted multiple shows on the Public-access television Channel 5, including Dunngeon and Getting It Dunn. He also hosted and officiated the Tim & Eric Tennis Challenge in the Season 4 finale "Tennis". In line with Tim and Eric's unique brand of humor, Dunn often mispronounces and slurs words and is frequently shown in a state of minor confusion. Dunn died Friday, June 4, 2010 due to complications from a stroke. The episode that aired on Sunday, June 6 on Adult Swim was dedicated to Dunn. He was 73.
• David Liebe Hart: A singer and puppeteer who performs listless songs with an assortment of ventriloquist dummies. His songs usually have positive, upbeat themes but are usually accompanied by his excessive voice vibrato. He almost always has a Bluetooth headset in his right ear, and is often accompanied by psychedelic green screen effects. He also co-starred in the fictional Channel 5 Tuesday Afternoon Movie Back to Squall as the Headmaster of Admiral David Liebe Hart's Sailing Quallage. He stars as himself alongside Bill Hader in The James Quall Story Hart often sings about aliens and seems to have a particular affinity for the Korendian race; he had to apologize in a season four episode after an uncharacteristically sexual remark about Korendian women's "spicy tacos."
• Palmer Scott: This character is a middle-aged, overweight, balding man wearing what appears to be outdated Jordache apparel from the late 80's or early 90's. He is well-noted for his matching denim shirt and jeans, gyrating torso, and unusually spry pelvic thrusts. However, he is best known for what he does; he "sits on you". He also makes an appearance in Season 4, where a woman who appears to be pregnant requests that her "bub bubs" be bounced. Where three men fail to bounce her bub bubs, Palmer succeeds. In Season 2, his name was revealed to be Palmer Scott during the Channel 5 Dance Party.
• Michael Q. Schmidt recurs in several episodes, and is noted as among the Top Ten Favorite Recurring Characters for his “Raise My Roof” dance from Season 2, where he dances a naked jig. Schmidt was part of Tom Goes to the Mayor as Tom’s wife Joy, and has performed in several of the Awesome Show’s live tours, as well as being 'Winter Man' for the Chrimbus Special.
• Pierre: Actor and comedian Ron Austar plays a singer and dancer obsessed with fathers, internet connections, and barbecued meat. He appears in various instructional videos teaching children how to avoid poisonous foods, and how to dance to hip-hop and meditate while expressing his desire to meet their dads. In Season 2, while hosting the Channel 5 Dance Party, Pierre revealed that he once impregnated Casey's mother.
• Chippy: Chippy, an animated character whose origin dates back to Tom Goes to the Mayor, is a wild creature often seen in very brief bits in which he is found hiding in a background. Chippy resembles a hirsute baby, with a handlebar mustache and an abnormally large unibrow. Chippy is always in distress and any scene with Chippy almost always ends with it emitting a high-pitched screech. In the episode "Forest", Chippy's mother (played by Eric) viciously attacks Tim while on a nature hike.
• Channel 5's Only Married News Team: Jan and Wayne Skylar (portrayed by Heidecker and Wareheim) are television news anchors who are married (to each other), and less than modest about displaying their affection for each other on air. These characters were also carried over from the duo's previous Adult Swim show, Tom Goes to the Mayor.
• Glen Tennis: An actor/director portrayed by A.D. Miles, Glen is the director of the fictional film Crystal Shyps, which starred him and Ron Stark. The film appeared to have a very low budget. Later in Season One, Glen Tennis was invited to talk to Danny Mothers (Bob Odenkirk) about his film on Channel 5 Looking at Films. In Season Two Glen tried to sell some Crystal Shyps memorabilia in an infomercial. He was interrupted by his brother David, who called in to 'harmlessly rib' him. Glen ended up getting very upset and destroying all of his merchandise. Glen Tennis has a terrible temper and won't stand for 'crappy acting', as seen in extra material included with the Season One DVD. In the Season 4 finale "Tennis", Glen Tennis is seen promoting his new movie The Pillgrums, with the film's badly rendered CGI co-star, Grum.
• Spagett: A hyperactive overweight middle-aged man with a black ponytail, visible hair plugs, and dried spaghetti sauce around his lips who hides behind various objects and "spooks" people on his hidden camera television show by yelling out his name. His hiding places are always in plain view and as a result, his victims are rarely frightened; instead referring to the incidents as awkward or abnormal. Spagett is also the mascot for "Cigarette Juice." Spagett is played by Tim Heidecker. In one episode Tim stars as Spagett in the Steven Spielberg (portrayed by look-alike Howie Slater) movie Spagett and the Quest for the Golden Treasure.
• The Beaver Boys: A pair of party boys named Dilly and Krunk (portrayed by Heidecker and Wareheim) who often prowl the beach for women. They are seen as having a penchant for cocktail shrimp and white wine, which is further emphasized in the lyrics to their show's accompanying theme song.
• Carol and Mr. Henderson: Carol and Mr. Henderson work together in a typical office setting. Mr. Henderson (Heidecker), Carol's boss, is a balding man with glasses. Carol (Wareheim) is an obese lady who has a sexual obsession with Mr. Henderson. Mr. Henderson often stops by Carol's cubicle to sexually harass/tease her, saying things like, 'You look good enough for a poke.' This always excites Carol, and just when she is most excited, Mr. Henderson throws his coffee in her face. However, Mr. Henderson secretly adores Carol, but won't show it. In The Tim and Eric Chrimbus Special Carol and Mr. Henderson are shown to have married. Mr. Henderson while playing with his guillotine collection is nearly beheaded by Carol. However, thanks to a speedy trip to the hospital Mr. Henderson is rehabilitated by Gary, the office employee Larry's twin brother. A deleted scene from the Chrimbus Special DVD reveals that Mr. Henderson's first name is Dick.
• Ron Stark: A self-proclaimed actor, director, and producer, who often has various roles throughout every Tim and Eric season. In season 1 such roles included a user of "Balls Insurance". He also hosts a show called Stark On Stark in season 2 in which he interviews himself.
• Will Grello: Played by Will Forte. Will Grello is a man who hosts several shows concerning such activities as fort building and quilting. Although his shows start out innocent and mellow enough until he descends into madness from repressed thoughts about his abusive father who would usually make him do disturbing things such as "cooking the dog" usually involving a whipping with a belt in addition. He then would proceed to have involuntary urination when he gets on his tangents about his father.
• Rudy and Kent: Two middle-aged best friends, Rudy (Jay Mawhinney) and Kent (Bob Ross) are fond of each other's interests, and when confronted with a minor conundrum (from a shirt being bland or a fork being dangerous), Kent advises that Rudy seeks the help of one of the Cinco products to enhance his well-being. Each product that Rudy suggests requires a strenuous transformation, always requiring that teeth be pulled for safety. Rudy always obliges in the advice given, always ending the segment with a before and after comparison, the latter of which showing Rudy without teeth.
