* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Gareth misses the point of every single exercise in the training day episode. When they are given the FoxChickenGrainPuzzle to solve, he offers solutions outside the scope of the puzzle, like the farmer should just drown the fox or get his wife to hold the chicken. He also never works out that his conversations with Tim and Dawn about the military are full of double entendres that make him sound gay.

* DrunkWithPower: Never ceases to remind people that he is "team leader" even though, as Tim points out, it is essentially a made-up title that means doing extra work for no extra money and gives him no seniority over anyone else. Interestingly enough, even when he does get a real promotion to manager, he doesn't change much.
