Skits

Characters portrayed by Sullivan

• Kelly is supposed stereotypical blonde teenage American girl. She doesn't care about much besides her mundane desires and often has intense (even violent) mood swings. She is also a musician, and it is implied that the family is aware of the music videos.^[2]
• Chris is Kelly's twin brother. He's an athlete who said he signed up to the abstinent^[3] and has a well known sibling rivalry with Kelly. Their parents prefer him over Kelly.
• Mother Grandma is an affectionate, anxious old lady who is fond of whiskey and tries to share it with everyone because she believes it "makes you feel better". She appears to be tipsy most of the time and is known to make non sequitur comments. There is a bit of tension between her and the parents, and the two utter negative remarks about each other under their breaths.
• Bill^[4]/Tom^[5] is Kelly's father. Strict and often stern-faced, he doesn't say much, but likes to stay in charge of the family and set the rules, and is a strong believer in "fiscal responsibility".
• Aunt Susan Walker is a lesbian musician. She likes to stay positive and is involved with a woman named Maria. She is involved with an organic vegan girl-on-girl sandwich tour.

Characters not portrayed by Sullivan

• Heather is Kelly's best friend. She and her father claim to be vampires.
