• Token Minority: Much like Kurt, he's known for being the only black guy in his group of buddies.

The main antagonists of the sequel.

• The Bully: They love to cause trouble and pick on old people.
• Ignored Confession: When Braden confesses that he's the one at fault for vandalizing their frat house, they ignore him and settle on getting revenge on his dad and the main cast instead.
• Rejected Apology: They reject Braden's apology for wrecking their frat house just so they can get revenge on his dad and his pals.
• Too Dumb to Live: A bunch of them keep going after Tommy Cavanaugh, even as he’s knocking them down with a single punch.

• Big Bad: Of the sequel.
• The Bully: He and his fraternity love to pick on old people, especially Lenny and his friends.
• Groin Attack: He gets attacked, sniffed, and bitten in the groin by the deer in the Feders' yard.
• It's Personal: His frat house getting vandalized is what makes him and his brothers go all out on Lenny and his friends.
• Jerk Jock: He's rude to men, women and children around him, and thinks he's entitled to be so just because he's the leader of a college fraternity.
• Kick the Dog: He compares Becky to Mr. Gigglesworth, the toy monkey she gives him, saying that it looks just like her.
• Laser-Guided Karma: His whole feud with Lenny starts with him forcing and his friends to jump into the quarry naked, with some painful landings. Becky gives him her her stuffed monkey, Mr. Gigglesworth, as a "prize," leading to him getting attacked by the deer who previously tore Mr. Gigglesworth to shreds. Bonus points for Andy holding the monkey at his crotch.
• Oh, Crap!: When he's holding Mr. Gigglesworth and sees the deer heading straight for him.

Andy's right-hand man.

• The Bully: He and his fraternity.
• The Dragon: To Andy, as he is often seen by his side.
• Laser-Guided Karma: After giving Malcolm a noogie, Fluzoo gives him a noogie before throwing him over the Feder house.
• Walking Shirtless Scene: He is shirtless most of the time, which is lampshaded by Lenny and his friends.

• The Bully: He loved to intimidate Lenny. Subverted when they meet up years later and helps Lenny look cooler for his kids.
• The Dreaded: He’s a very large and muscular man, who used to be Lenny’s bully back when they were kids. Heck, when he attends the 80’s party, he dresses up as The Terminator.
• Reformed Bully: He used to bully Lenny in high school, and even shares a laugh about those days. But once he sees Keith’s leg in a cast, he seemingly has a Heel Realization and decides to throw the fight, genuinely apologizing to Lenny.
• Throwing the Fight: Tommy offers to throw a fight to Lenny in order to impress Keith, and he quickly changes the plan by begging not to be hit, since he didn't think anyone would believe that Lenny could knock him out.

• Ambiguous Situation: Dickie claims that Lenny's game-winning shot shouldn't have counted because his foot was on the out-of-bounds line, while Lenny says otherwise. The way the scene is filmed makes it ambiguous, so it's impossible to tell who's right.
• The Bully: He was this to Lenny and his friends when they were in school, and still is, humiliating him in public unless he challenges him to a rematch.
• Jaded Washout: Unlike the wildly successful Lenny, he's stuck in his hometown working a blue-collar restaurant job. Lenny's decision to throw the rematch partly stems from his realizing that Dickie could use a win.
• Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up: He's almost in his fifties and is still obsessed with the basketball game that Lenny and his friends won back in school, bullying them everywhere they go for a rematch. Like many other examples of this trope, Lenny figures out that Dickie is upset about where his life has gone (since he never left town and his family doesn't respect him), and the rematch is him trying to relive his Glory Days and win at something for once in his life, so he decides to let Dickie win.
• Similar Squad: Dickie and his team are this to Lenny and the gang.
• Villain Respect: In the sequel, Dickie stands up to the frat boys in support of Lenny, and is later seen eating dinner with both his and Lenny's friends.
