== Premise ==
George Liquor (American) is a far-right conservative who lives with his mentally-bankrupt nephew Jimmy the Idiot Boy and their pet dog Dirty Dog in the fictional town of Decentville, USA. Each episode focuses on the misadventures in and around the Liquor household, including his conflicts with his far-left next-door neighbor Bobby Water, as well as Cigarettes the Cat and Ren and Stimpy occasionally coming over to cause chaos.
== Characters ==
* George Liquor, American (John Kricfalusi) is an ultra-patriotic, ultra-conservative, ultra-manly American who is so right-wing that he thinks all modern Republicans are communists. He has an extreme hatred of liberals and strongly believes in discipline and corporal punishment, as demonstrated with his motto "It's discipline that begets love".
* Jimmy the Idiot Boy (John Kricfalusi) is George's dimwitted eight-year-old nephew. As his name implies, Jimmy is mentally handicapped, completely incapable of speech, but makes up for it with a big heart.
* Ernie and Slab (Gabe Swarr and Eric Bauza) are two bullies who are Jimmy's slightly smarter cousins. George is unaware of their actions, seeing them as "good boys". Ernie is the more mature of the two, while Slab is the more childish one.
* Sody Pop (Cheryl Chase) is a 20-year-old Canadian girl who is Jimmy's love interest. George constantly attempts to stop her from going out with Jimmy, but fails. She is a kindhearted girl who hates George and wants to get Jimmy out of what she views as an abusive household.
* Dirty Dog (Billy West) is the Liquor family's pet dog who has a rivalry with Cigarettes.
*Cigarettes the Cat (Eddie Fitzgerald) is an alley cat who loves playing pranks on others. He often eats food in the Liquor household without permission.
* God (John Kricfalusi) is one of George Liquor's fishing buddies.
* Bobby Water (Harris Peet) is George Liquor's next-door neighbor and polar opposite, being much more liberal than him. The two have a fierce rivalry with one another. His name comes from "bottled water", similarly to how Liquor's name came from a liquor store sign.
*Pop Liquor (John Kricfalusi) is George's 112-year-old, ultra-senile father who lives at Last Resort, a retirement home. He served in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, losing his right arm in Korea.
*Ren Höek and Stimpson J. Cat (John Kricfalusi and Billy West) show up occasionally, causing chaos as usual.
*Mr. Horse (John Kricfalusi) is a local news reporter who often says "No sir, I don't like it".
*Powdered Toast Man (Gary Owens, VoxMutatio; raw performance by David Kaye) is a powdered toast-themed superhero who often mistakes George for a criminal based on circumstantial evidence.
