Plot

The dysfunctional Hornsby family run Royal Crackers Incorporated, a once-popular snack food company which manufactures saltine crackers in Bakersfield, California. When senile patriarch and CEO Theodore Hornsby Sr.'s mind starts to slip, his two sons Stebe and Theodore "Theo" Jr. are left to run the failing company while living in their father's mansion with Stebe's wife Deb and their son Matt as they deal with competition from Dennison Snacks and experience different misadventures along the way.

Characters

Main

• Stebe Hornsby (voiced by Jason Ruiz) is one of the heirs of Royal Crackers Incorporated. He is professional and nerdy, and plays the straight man to Theo's antics. Stebe does however behave eccentrically himself at times. He is shown to be inattentive toward his son, instead focused on currying favor with his father and their company. He was intended to be named Steve, but his father elected to misspell it out of contempt upon his birth.
• Deb Hornsby (voiced by Jessica St. Clair) is Stebe's wife. She is on the board of directors at Royal Crackers Incorporated and is in charge of the Hornsby family's social media accounts. Like her husband, she is inattentive toward her son and focused on business.
• Theodore "Theo" D. Hornsby Jr. (voiced by Andrew Santino) is a former nu metal star, the bass player/lead singer of TainT and one of the heirs of Royal Crackers Incorporated. He appears narcissistic, with delusions of grandeur, and seems to be in denial about his status as a has-been.
• Matthew "Matt" Hornsby (voiced by Maile Flanagan) is the son of Stebe and Deb. An introvert who loves videogames, he is reserved with his family as a means of coping with their problematic culture.

Recurring

• Darby Blarchardt (voiced by David Gborie) is the Hornsby family's lawyer and former criminal lawyer who works at Blarchardt & Associates. While he presents as competent and professional, he occasionally proves to be eccentric and irresponsible.
• Theodore D. Hornsby Sr. is the elderly CEO of Royal Crackers Incorporated and the father of Stebe and Theo. Due to his old age appears in his sleep state due to being unable to stay conscious during meetings where he is almost always seated motionless in a wheelchair unless something briefly brings him out of his sleep state. In flashbacks, he is shown to have been a ruthless robber baron who committed various atrocities and ran his company with an iron fist.
• Alfred "Al" Winstanley (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) is a Russian-American board member with a long Shenandoah beard who has been with Royal Crackers Incorporated since its early days.
• Rachel (voiced by Stephanie Sheh) is a Royal Crackers board member. In season 2, her self-titled episode revealed that Rachel is actually a small mushroom person from an underground kingdom called Subterra with her Asian-American woman body being a "Land Rover".
• Moey D (voiced by Jamar Malachi Neighbors) is a dwarf and the former hype man of TainT who works at Kenny's Lobster Shack. He is a parody of Joe C.
• Clair Bailey (voiced by Debra Wilson) is a news anchor for CVM.
• The Dennison family are rivals to the Hornsbys. Their company, Dennison Snacks is a more successful competitor to Royal Crackers:
  • Rob Dennison (voiced by Andy Daly) is the Co-CEO of Dennison Snacks and the son of its founder Luther Dennison. He relies on Stebe to help with his Wi-Fi issues and hosts a "Guys' Night" that Stebe wants to be invited to.
  • Mel Dennison (voiced by Lennon Parham) is the wife of Rob Dennison and Co-CEO of Dennison Snacks. She is Deb's rival.
  • Sebastian Dennison (voiced by Kyle Dunnigan in season two) is the oldest son of Rob and Mel Dennison who is an aspiring rapper.
  • Sarah Dennison is the oldest daughter of Rob and Mel Dennison.
  • The Dennison Twins are the unnamed son and daughter of Rob and Mel Dennison who are fraternal twins.
  • Gus Dennison is the youngest son of Rob and Mel Dennison.
  • Hailey Dennison is the youngest daughter of Rob and Mel Dennison.
• Mr. P (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) is a teacher at J. Davis High.
• The Utzi Wutzis (variously voiced by Eric Bauza and Fred Tatasciore) are the cat-like natives of Catalina Island. Even though they were hostile, they soon became loyal to Theodore and helped to make up his work force as Theodore gave them the name of Utzi Wutzi because that's what they mostly say.
