* Nina Walsh – Played by [[Tinsley Grimes]], Nina is one of Yvette's friends and is seen with her most of the time, however she is only seen during the third season (Yvette had a revolving door of friends up through that point). She works at the store in the mall, where in the episode "Get A Job", she was forced to follow black people because her boss Ms. Hendra explained that African-Americans who were in the store would steal. She is deep and poetic and drools over handsome men.
* Deion Lamont White – Played by [[Arvie Lowe, Jr.]], Deion is a teenager who attends Piedmont High. His usual hijinks include taking pictures of Marcus and Mo and selling them to a company for profit (in the season two episode "My Two Dads"), and scamming Marcus and Mo into selling health bars in a pyramid scheme which he involves every other student in school to sell them as well (in the season two episode "Goodbye, Mr. Chimps"), among other things (Marcus refers to him as "a little shrimp"). In the season two episode "The Dating Game", Deion had a crush (more like an obsession) on Yvette and asked her out to the school dance, which Yvette rejects repeatedly (and prompts her to go with T.J.'s plan to make Deion think that she is dating Mo).
* Mackey Nagle – Played by [[J. D. Walsh (actor)|J.D. Walsh]], Mackey is a student who is in Marcus and Mo's grade. He is fairly popular and is definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He tries to fit in at school by buying new clothes and speaking slang, but most of the time makes a fool of himself and ends with a comment stating "It's because I'm white, isn't it?" (which is usually replied with nods by everyone who was listening, this particular gag was only seen in the season two episode "Sit In (a.k.a. Dawgburger Rebellion)"). In the season three episode "Perchance to Dream", he has a dream about Yvette kissing him as she tells him about her dreams about Mo. He often wears flannel shirts. He actually ends up streaking during the graduation ceremony in the season three episode "The Graduate?" (after T.J.'s plan of a revenge prank on the Seniors backfires). Originally he was depicted as a bully who harassed T.J. and then Clark.
