* CoolCar: Drives "Big Red", a Cadillac convertible with giant bullhorns on the hood, an EjectorSeat, and a smokescreen.



* ObfuscatingStupidity: He may be insane, but he's not a moron. He knows nothing about video games, but he knows how to make profit. In "E.T.", he changed the company label on the E.T. games because ''that's how bad it was'', shifting the blame to a different company.

** After the ass transplant goes south later in the episode, he briefly enters SincerityMode, telling Dean "Tough men do perish, Dean...''tough men do perish''."



* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Though officially he's the head of development and the programmers' supervisor, he never does anything relating to this, since he's DumbMuscle and functions as his dad's lackey.



* HorrifyingTheHorror: Between his ego issues and his general creepy nature, he once [[DrivenToSuicide drove a serial killer to suicide]] and disturbed/annoyed John Hinckley (the attempted assassin of President Reagan).



* SanitySlippage: At one point, Tood loses his mind in... [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Todd Loses His Mind"]]. Being screwed out of his game pitch for Jerry's (which was made three weeks earlier) led to him going insane, more so than usual, plotting to destroy Game-A-Vision, and seemingly succeeding (if the cartridge playing the episode didn't glitch and force the "player" to reset.)
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Nachos and nacho cheese, to the extreme. He claims to eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and midnight snack. He sometimes sees nacho cheese as both a [[{{Squick}} "lubricant"]] and the secret behind of the Fountain of Youth.

* TheCameo: Makes a reappearance in "Vegas, Baby!", flying around the convention on a hover-vehicle, and a small voiceless cameo in "Trouble in the Middle East", passing by in the electronics store.

He makes one more appearance in "Car Robber Sunnyvale", as [[ItMakesSenseInContext Todd's hedgehogs tunnel the oil under Game-A-Vision to the Woz's front lawn]].

* HasTwoMommies: They made two jokes about Jerry's mother's death in season 1. In season two, however, it was revealed his parents were divorced and his mother entered a relationship with another woman. This counts as a ContinuitySnarl; why does he say that his mom's dead (and either when he was 11, or last week), then say that she's a lesbian?
** He was in denial.

Moving to YMMV under Diagnosed By The Audience


* AmbiguousDisorder: There's a running gag of people wondering if he's brain damaged or mentally challenged. Or, in his dad's words, "R-E-tarded". Or "half a one", according to Dave.

* LovableSexManiac: Like Dave, he hits on or harasses younger women.
* {{Metaphorgotten}}: All the time.

to:

* LaughablyEvil: Let's be honest, Larrity is a terrible, ''terrible'' human being, but his antics are so over-the-top that they loop back around to being hilarious.
* LovableSexManiac: More "lovable" in the sense that he's [[BlackComedy hilariously inept at courting women]] than heroic. Like Dave, he hits on or harasses younger women.
* {{Metaphorgotten}}: All the time.Expect him to go on a really weird tangent whenever he tries to make a comparison.

%%* FieryRedhead* FieryRedhead: She's got red hair and is quite the hothead. Then again, she is surrounded by some really obnoxious coworkers.



%%* PluckyOfficeGirl

to:

%%* PluckyOfficeGirl* PluckyOfficeGirl: Life is ''very'' unfair to her despite her general competence, but she fights through it regardless.

* AngryBlackMan: Often irritable against the ignorant. Then again, he's usually pretty angry at everyone.



* HiddenDepths: Probably the biggest source of this (did you know he used to be a pro wrestler, and is fluent in Japanese and (conversational) Arabic?) Likely played for comedy against his stereotypical AngryBlackMan personality. Also, accounting moves him.

* EthnicMenialLabor: Supposedly as befitting an Asian/Korean, he's the company's game tester. However, he loves it despite the UnfortunateImplications. Game-A-Vision is family to him, though Jerry is the first to question the legality of Benny's role due to his age.

* CampGay: Clarence takes this UpToEleven. He sings everything he says (he is the music designer), constantly glitters, floats instead of walking, and constantly talks about how much he loves sex with other men and praises about how gay he is.

* RecurringExtra: Of all the employees of this supposedly quite large company, he makes by far the most appearances, and appears in most board room scenes. (Wendy the Hot Intern, as well as an unnamed blue-haired guy, a red-haired guy, and a guy with overalls and a mustache make appearances from time-to-time.)
