Characters

change
  • Stacy Stickler: One of the main protagonists. An 8-year-old quiet but bossy girl who loves imagining many things with Bradley. She often says "For your big fat information" and "Real mature, Bradley". She sometimes serves as the voice of reason for Bradley's silliness and recklessness.
  • Bradley: The other main protagonist is Stacy's 9-year-old best friend. He wears thick black-framed glasses and a red backwards cap. He often imagines himself as a superhero, secret agent, robot, or vampire, namely as Rubber Guy, Cap Crusader, 00 Bradley, Robo Bradley, or Count Vladley. His favourite fantasy is that "Aliens from Uranus" are behind whatever problem they are facing, much to Stacy's annoyance.
  • Frank: Stacy's fat pet wiener dog who sometimes shares in their adventures and loves to eat. Due to his insatiable appetite, he often sees things as food. He is very lazy and does not exercise much apart from chasing Stacy on the way to school.
  • Lester: Bradley's pet chameleon who blends into the background and causes a lot of trouble.
  • Lance: A bully who loves to pick on everyone in school, especially Bradley, whom he nicknames "Scradley".
  • Russell: Lance's dimwitted best friend and sidekick and carries around with him a horrible odor. He always says "What?" when everyone says "Whoa Man! What's that funky smell?" and he repeats everything that Lance says. He actually says "Yeah…… [either what Lance said, or a synonym/variant]". He does surprisingly well in class.
  • Polly: Lance's friendly, intelligent younger half-sister who always gives words of knowledge and wisdom. She is often seen walking her lifeless pet poodle, Pepperoni, whom she refuses to believe is dead; she hates being called a baby, though.
  • Dill: Friend of Stacy and Bradley who has a very loud voice. Often, uses the words "HOLY MACKEREL!".
  • Stella Stickler: She's Stacy's caring but also a hot-headed mother. She loves fashion, she works hard, and hates being annoyed by Stacy and Bradley sometimes. She is divorced from Stacy’s father Stanley. She is very annoyed when Stanley is trying to "fix" things.
  • Stanley Stickler: Stacy's ambitious father. His inventions go wrong and he isn't good at cooking. A running gag is that he's always trying to fix appliances. As mentioned in the first episode entitled "Aaand Action!", he lives in "his own place" in the same apartments (Latchkey Garden Apartments). He also seems to be kind of forgetful, because in the episode "Madam Know-It-All" it's a running gag that he thinks that his family has a lawn, but it's green gravel. He is divorced from Stacy’s mother Stella. He still doesn't seem to get that this "lawn" is never made out of grass because in the episode "We're Doomed" from the third season he still thinks that it is grass; and on the episode "It's My Parties" from the second season, in which he didn't realize it was Stella's turn to throw a surprise birthday party for Stacy.
  • Ms. Mobley: Stacy and Bradley's cheerful but crazy teacher. She frequently says "Won't that be fun?" to one of them.
  • Principal Coffin: A scary school principal who looks like a zombie and a vampire. He speaks in a slow, spooky accent.
  • Mr. Lederhosen: Stacy and Bradley's tough P.E. teacher who acts like an army sergeant major.
  • Mr. Doddler: A senior citizen who wears a fez with a crescent moon on it. He is a farmer who often grows the ingredients to make the kids' favourite snack, Cheez Poopers, that are similar to Wotsits. Stacy usually calls him "Mr. D".
  • William: A chubby boy who loves eating.
  • Melody: Stacy and Bradley's classmate who uses a wheelchair. She occasionally teams up with Stacy against Bradley and Dill.
  • Ashley: Stacy's rival and the wealthiest girl in school. She always wears a beret and is actually seen acting as somewhat of a snob and a spoiled brat.
  • Mrs. Salazar: A Spanish speaking woman who is Stacy and Bradley's kind-hearted neighbour.
  • Pickle: Pickle is Dill's pet parrot. His name is a pun on a dill pickle (a food).
  • Scooter: Scooter is William's pet hamster.
  • Freddy: Freddy is Melody's pet maggot.
  • Pepperoni: Pepperoni, as mentioned above, is Polly's lifeless pet dog. Polly is usually seen dragging Pepperoni around by his leash.
  • Ashley Taylor (Tickell) as Stacy Stickler
  • Ashley Brown as Bradley
  • Marianna Galati as Polly
  • Andrew Craig as Lance
  • Amos Crawley as Russell
  • Daniel Goodfellow as Dill
  • Catherine Disher as Stella Stickler
