The Trolls(also commonly referred to as Troles due to a spelling error by Josh) is a list of minor characters who become villains or otherwise have a medium-to-small negative impact on Josh's life. This can range from making his life slightly more inconvenient to being a mild nuisance to his channel, or otherwise lack any major presence in the Cobraverse.

Matt Ciampi is perhaps the earliest incarnation of a Trole. First seen in The Couch Chris Saga, he was the leader of the Casper Zombie Defense Force, a group of tacticool LARPers that met on weekends to train in survivalist tactics. Matt is best remembered as a proto-Trole as his presence in Josh's apartment would generally be seen as a negative, inviting other CZDF members over to Josh's apartment, courtesy of Couch Chris. Matt would also eventually introduce Josh and his girlfriend to Damien, a man who would eventually abscond with the love of Josh's life, joining Matt, Damien, and Megan in a polyamorous relationship.

Early in his YouTube career during The South Center Age, Josh would commonly have fan mail episodes where he would unbox mail from his fans. While sometimes this would lead to genuinely great interactions, fans were not above sending Josh glitter bombs in the mail. This tactic would age rapidly, as Josh became suspicious of the atypical packaging glitter bombs came in. The most famous of these trolling attempts would come in the form of The Warlord Cock T-shirt incident.

Damien is the leader of a Casper-based polycule alongside his wife Megan, Matt Ciampi, and Josh's former lover, Stephanie. During The Stephanie Saga, Damien would make numerous cameos, showing a vested interest in Stephanie, eventually sleeping with her behind Josh's back. This would be the catalyst for Josh losing his girlfriend, and would plunge The Boy into a particularly dark place.

Castellus Zemi, also known by Josh as “The Fat Fuck From Kentucky” is a Trole with a YouTube channel who made videos denouncing Josh's general lack of hygiene and degenerate personality during The Post-Wendy's Saga and would be the main reason Josh would get fired from Wendy's, after Zemi sent numerous complaints to Wendy's Corporate about Josh. While TFFFK has since admitted he was in the wrong for doing this, the Cobraverse would continue to harass him.

Jonathan Banks was a one-off troll introduced to Josh by his friend Jeremy Rogers, showing up in exactly one video. In the video, Jonathan would mock Josh's hairline and his poor British accent. Such transgressions were not taken by Milord lightly, and Jonathan would vanish, never to be seen again.

Every work of art has its imitators, every Chris-Chan has his Liquid Chris. KingKobraJFS was a Trole channel that would emerge during The Rebirth Saga, claiming to be the real King Cobra, and constantly attempting to one-up Josh in all ways possible. Fake Cobra would do the Wendy's T-Rex Burger Challenge(a challenge Josh would promise to do but never did), perform acts of green screen magic, and make the same style of videos as Josh. While Cobes never took KingKobra seriously, the two would eventually have a faceoff via podcast episode, where Fake Cobra would suddenly vanish after Josh hexed him live. The imposter cobra would bow out of the Cobraverse after he uploaded a video where he was psychically forced to blow his own brains out by a dark magic hex courtesy of KingCobraJFS.

A number of subreddits have espoused out of a following for Josh's antics. Where the subreddits differ from most fans, however, is that many if not all subreddits had a shared mutual hatred of Josh, wishing him harm and even in some cases sending him copious amounts of vodka in an attempt to kill him via alcohol poisoning. As of mid to late 2024, many of these subreddits are now defunct as they were shut down when Reddit stock was put on the market.

Self-explanatory. Random users attempt to goad Josh into reading and responding to donated messages, solely for the purpose of getting a rise out of Josh.

In 2020 during The Conquistador Age, Josh's Troles would discover a new avenue of harassment: DoorDashing. With the rise of delivery-based meal services, a new avenue presented itself to pester Josh with. Trolls would pay for various groceries and meals, including:

• Tampons
• Dog and cat food(Which would make its way into a food hack)
• Booze
• Food that was not paid for
• Bird seed
• A bra
• A vibrator
• Completely inedible food, including burgers with no meat
• an unbelievable amount of sauce packets
• A bag of ice
• Baby pacifiers, bottles, diapers, etc.,
• Multiple bags of potatoes

It is debatable how effective this was at angering Josh.

Mr. Oinkers would make a name for himself during The Trailer Saga after it became public knowledge that he had paid for a flight to Casper for Cobra's abusive ex-girlfriend. While Oinkers would attempt to downplay his ultimately disastrous decision to bankroll a BPDemon, saying that he had hoped that the two could make amends, this would lead to Phase 2 of the NALpocalypse.
