The characters present in the Jamaican reggae/dancehall series ''Stir It Up,'' done by the TwinOfTwins duo (Patrick and Paul Gaynor). Nearly all of the voices are done by the Twins, and most of the characters are [[{{Expy}} Expies]] of the real-life persons they are intended to portray.

Some of the characters are listed below.

!!Ian Lyad
One of the two main hosts of the show, and supposedly the more educated and cultured of the two. He is based on real-life Jamaican journalist and sometime pastor Ian Boyne; this fact was [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] when the Twins appeared as guests on Mr. Boyne's television programme ''Religious Hard Talk.'' Mr. Boyne himself was quite amused at the Twins' portrayal of him via Ian Lyad.

They called me Judas, they called me Jesus, they called me Caesar, they called me Luciano - [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking who's Luciano?]]
