| '''First appearance:''' || [[S1E1|Dan VS NewThe MexicoWolf Man]]

Dan is the titular character of the show. He is a short-stacked man in his 30s20s, has green eyes, black hair (with a noticeable retreating hairline) and a black goatee. His outfit consists of a black t-shirt with the word ‘Jerk’ in white bold capital letters, blue jeans and black leather shoes, resembling ankle boots.

Dan often expresses how he wishes [[Elise]], Chris’ wife, would leave his friend. He is rude and talks down to her. At one point, he writes her on his revenge list, but crosses her name off because he deems her to be too dangerous. Dan is much more aware of her high-tech contraptions than Chris, however he never questions it. He will only team up with Elise when absolutely necessary and gets in her way from time to time, often while using her weapons without her consent. Dan will always try to take the lead and Elise has to work extra fast to counter his mistakes. While Dan definitely doesn't consider Elise a friend (and the other way around), he will accept her efforts when working for the same cause. Dan actively saves Elise's life at one point in [[S1E3]], while Elise saves Chris and Dan many times. Unbeknownst to him and Elise, the two of them are cousins as confirmed in ([[S2E1]]) when Dan reveals he stole the deviled egg recipe owned by his grandma, Elise's mom's mother.

During the runtime of the show, Dan fallshas inromantic loveencounters with threefive women and a sandwich.

* The Burgerphile employee [[Hortence Burger]], caught Dan’s attention, especially after staying by his side while protesting against bad restaurant service. It is clear that she is also impressed by his efforts. While not stated in the show, but by the official Facebook page, Hortence is underage. (link) However, Dan never gets to have a relationship with her, since she leaves the city for a promotion ([[S1E20]]). This is followed by her agreeing to marry [[Jeremiah Burger|Mr. Burger]], her boss. Dan stopsattempts thisto put a stop to the wedding, butto lesstry forand moralreconcile orwith legal reasonsher, butas forhe hisstruggles ownto affectionget towardsover his feelings for her. This doesn’t work out in his favor and Hortence isleaves donehim to elope with himJeremiah. ([[S2E9]])

* Dan alsofound dates[[Abby]] through a namelesspersonal ad in a characternewspaper. whoShe turns out to be casted for 'Fake Date', a hidden camera style reality show ([[S2E14]]).

In every episode, we see him scream out (or at least moan ([[S2E8]])) his revenge target while raising up his arms. Dan has a list of things he wants to take revenge in a storage roomfacility in Sherman Oaks ([[S3E1]]), supposedly because it outgrew his apartment. He keeps a box of special memories, containing a hand granade, a gas mask, a drawing of his, and 3D glasses. The box got blown up in the episode it appeared, after Chris his it away and then returned it to Dan ([[S2E17]])). Dan is convinced to have developed a method to raise children, which he calls 'The Dan Method'([[S2E15]])).

As for other animals, Dan uses rats ([[S1E16]]), cockroaches ([[S2E3]], [[S3E8]]) and scorpions ([[S3E5]]) as his allies on multiple occasions. He makes friends with a family of raccoons ([[S1E14]]). A bat lives under his sink and he doesn’t seem to mind its presence ().

Dan taught himself to tie his shoes when he was 12 because nobody else would ([[S1E9]]) and he can use more code by blinking ([[S2E14]]). He is immune to pepper spray; bear mace will only affect him minorly.

Dan loves watching TV, including court shows ([[S3E9]]), horror and sci-fi movies. As a big fan of the ‘[[Population Control Johnny]]’ franchise he consumes the comics and movies. Like Chris, he is also into the movie ‘Space Monkeys from Outer Space’ ([[S2E17]]). He listens to a radio station which talks about conspiracy theories and it’s quite possible he believes in at least some of them. He also believes in the occult and fortune tellings. Despite his displeasure with the government, he votes with pride ([[S3E7]]). One of Dan's ongoing struggles is building a jet pack that actually works without exploding ([[S1E7]], [[S3E11]]). His best attempt ends up smashing him into a fireworks factory building, which ends up exploding afterwards. In his apartment we see a foosball table, however he confesses to never use it, being more of an air hockey guy ([[S1E18]]).
