Couple of my favorites:
"Shitty" Bill
"Shitty" Bill (Brian Huggins) is the local tow truck operator and hippie who helps Bubbles with his shopping-cart salvaging plan. His nickname goes back to childhood, when an attempted fart turned into defecation. At one point, Bubbles warns Ricky not to refer to him as 'Shitty Bill' as he will find it offensive; in the next scene Bubbles refers to him as 'Shitty', implying that 'Bill' is the part of the name he finds offensive. He is seen and mentioned a lot more in season seven, and even gets Bubbles into model trains.
Phil Collins
Philadelphia "Phil" Collins (Richard Collins) is known mostly for his huge gut, and is only ever referred to as "Phil Collins", though no one except Sam Losco ever seems to make the connection between Phil and the musician of the same name. Phil does many cameos on the show as a greasy motel owner, taxi driver and Lahey's paving assistant. He can also be seen in the crowd on the first episode, naturally shirtless. He is unusually sensitive about his appearance, and is paranoid about people looking at his gut, which Ricky calls "the biggest, most powerful gut anyone has ever seen." Phil has been known to belch loudly when hit in the stomach with anything. Also, seems to have a fancy for the 2 for 1 down at the King of Donair. He and Randy share a genuine friendship probably due to the fact they both like cheeseburgers and have huge guts. In Season seven he and Randy opened a cheeseburger restaurant named the Dirty Burger that they ran out of Losco's RV. He also drove a taxi in some episodes, such as when Losco used him for transportation to get to Sunnyvale to kidnap Randy. He once served as human shield for Ricky, or as Ricky called him "A human house". Bubbles refers him as "the Mustard Tiger" due to him having a mustard stain on a T-shirt with a picture of a Tiger on it. Phil is the father of Jacob and Thomas Collins. He is referred to by Losco as "Sussudio" and "Easy Lover". Phil is also known for selling mackerel and blueberries out of the trunk of his car in various liquor store parking lots around Sunnyvale Trailer Park. In "Say Goodnight To The Bad Guys" Ricky refers to Phil as a "bologna tugboat." In Season seven, Phil and his son Jacob develop a new catchphrase "BAAAAAM!" and variations of this - "peanut butter and JAAAAAAAAM" "green eggs and HAAAAAM!".In countdown to Liquor day he is seen briefly running "the dirty burger" until he and his son Jacob are arrested during a police sting operation, that Ricky, Julian, Bubbles and Randy narrowly avoid. Phil and Jacob are both later seen in the prison yard along with Sam Losco, George Green, Cyrus and Ted Johnson when the boys are sent back to jail.
