Scott W. Pilgrim is the 23-year-old protagonist. He is the bass player for the band Sex Bob-omb with his friends Stephen Stills and Kim Pine. Though initially an unemployed slacker, he later gets a job as a dish washer (and food prep trainee) at The Happy Avocado vegetarian restaurant. The character's name was inspired by the song "Scott Pilgrim" from Plumtree's 1998 album Predicts the Future. He believes that smoking is evil, and claims not to drink, though flashbacks show him drunk and he later begins drinking socially. Scott seems to suffer from memory problems, which his friends chalk up to his stupidity, though the memory problems began after his break-up with Envy Adams whom he dated through college. The series also references a mysterious "dark side" of Scott's personality which he avoids as much as possible. He is initially devastated by his break-up with Envy Adams, and begins dating Knives Chau before meeting Ramona. The two begin dating, but Scott is plagued by Ramona's elusive past and her "7 evil exes" led by the mysterious "Gideon", all of whom challenge him in succession for the right to date her.

"The most interesting man in the world" is a distinguished older gentleman who is shown through film clips of deliberately varying quality to have led an extremely eventful and colorful life, packed with over-the-top heroism and adventure. There are generally two types of ads: one features the man in a bar environment giving advice or opinion about various subjects, and the other features a narrator describing the man's distinguishing, but frequently absurd, background. Some examples include:
* "His blood smells like cologne."
* "He once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feels."
* "His business card simply says 'I'll call you.'"
* "Every time he goes for a swim, dolphins appear."
* "His personality is so magnetic, he cannot carry credit cards."
* "His charm is so contagious, vaccines have been created for it."
* "He can speak French... in Russian."
* "He's a lover, not a fighter; but he's also a fighter, so don't get any ideas."
* "His beard alone has experienced more than a lesser man's entire body."
* "His mother has a tattoo that reads 'Son'."
* "Sharks have a week dedicated to him."
* "Police often question him, just because they find him interesting."
* "If he punched you in the face, you'd have to fight the strong urge to thank him."
* "He is the only man to ever ace a Rorschach test."
Some of the advertisements have featured the man making a short statement on a particular subject, such as:
* On Lady Luck: "Be wary of a woman who only shows up when you are winning."
* On Careers: "Find out what it is in life that you don't do well, and then don't do that thing."
* On Life: "It's never too early to start beefing up your obituary."
* On Wingmen: "It doesn't take more than one man to talk to a woman."
* On Manscaping: "I have no idea what this is."
