List of X-Play characters

The video-game review television program X-Play has had numerous recurring sketch characters that have appeared throughout the show's history; during a preview for the game WWE Day of Reckoning 2 (Episode No. 5093), co-hosts Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb were left pondering, "Just how many random-ass supporting characters do we have on this show?". They were able to come up with a sizable list before the commercial break (30 humans, two hand puppets, and one monkey), but here is a more complete breakdown:
