Plot
The Nutshack follows two distant cousins, Phil, from the San Francisco Bay Area, and Jack, from the Philippines, who live with their uncle, Tito Dick, in south-suburban Daly City.
Characters
Main
- Phil Matibag (voiced by Ramon Lopez) is a harsh, foul-mouthed Filipino-American young male from Daly City south of San Francisco known for his annoying personality. Phil would sometime use drugs such as marijuana, and has poor manners. Aside from his negative nature, he cares deeply about his cousin, Jack. The episode "Fatherland" reveals that Phil was separated from his family and was adopted by Tito Dick and his brother. It is presumed that Phil was born from a family of natives.
- Jack Colero (voiced by Rex Navarrete) is Phil's dim-witted but warm-hearted cousin from Makati. He's sometimes incredibly intelligent, but often acts cowardly.
- Tito Dick "Dickman" (voiced by Rex Navarrete) is Phil and Jack's strabic uncle. As evidenced by the pilot, his real name is Richard Cabeza. He also loves the ladies with all of his heart.
- Horat, also known as Horatio or Horatio 1.0 (voiced by Jesse Hernandez), is Jack's robotic pet tarsier with a pitch shifted, high-pitched voice, and serves as the comic relief character of the series. In Season 2, he is given subtitles for obvious reasons.
Recurring
- Chita (voiced by Rhia Abarquez) is Phil and Jack's female friend who runs the local bar. She is also Jack's love interest.
- Dwayne Futon (voiced by Jesse Hernandez) is Tito Dick's goofy landlord who desperately attempts to connect with his tenants and as a result is often made a fool of.
- Cherry Pie (voiced by Rex Navarrete) is a friendly and flirtatious Vietnamese trans woman who runs a salon and is a virgin.
- Sanjee (voiced by Ramon Lopez) is an Indian man who runs a liquor store and serves as a top distributor of pornography in Daly City.
- Ed and Angel (both voiced by Jesse Hernandez) own a custom car shop and are both stoners. Ed is highly forgetful and often cannot recall where he is, what time of day, or people's names. Angel is Latino and Ed loves Drugs.
- Willie (voiced by Jesse Hernandez) is a gibbering homeless man known for his unintelligible speech.
- Manu (voiced by Jamar Logan) is a Hawaiian man who is a gentle person despite his bulky appearance. He is very nice to Jack and Phil and is one of their good friends.
- Rainbow Scout (voiced by Jesse Hernandez) is a gay male character developed around common gay stereotypes.
Others
- Jerome and Jamar (voiced by Jerome Castro and Jamar Logan) are Phil and Jack's rivals.
- Swoop Dog and 2Quack are two ducks who like to poop on celebrities. Swoop Dog is a parody of Snoop Dogg and 2Quack is a parody of Tupac.
- Becky is a female character who is known to only date white people. She only appears in the pilot episode.
