* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: [[SpeakIllOfTheDead Averted]]. Frank was more happy about his promotion than upset about Ed's death. When Sue calls him out on this, he responds with "Yeah, but he was kind of a dick."

* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: [[SpeakIllOfTheDead Averted]]. Frank was more happy about his promotion than upset about Ed's death. When Sue calls him out on this, he responds with "Yeah, but he was kind of a dick."" In the video of his death, Red can even be seen laughing at him seconds afterwards.


Added DiffLines:

* BearerOfBadNews: When Frank makes an ultimatum and threatens to take his severance for twenty years of service, Ed reveals Frank lost his seniority when he was fired the previous year.


Added DiffLines:

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: After the merger, Frank asks if things could be done "the Mohican way." Ed points out "the Mohican way" is exactly why Mohican Airways failed as a business, such as a punch clock that didn't work, never punishing employee misconduct, and their sloppy and unprofessional practices costing the company millions in lost baggage claims each year.

* FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo: Rosie has an illegitimate son whom he conceived when he was 17. For years, he has been passing him off as his younger brother to his kids (and by extension, pretending he was the kids' uncle rather than their half-brother). However, the ruse failed, as not only does his family know (Darryl calls him Uncle Rosie Jr., implying that his name is Chauncey Roosevelt, Jr.), but his youthful indiscretion is also used against him by his political rival, Teddy Morewill, and is even brought up by the person hosting a political debate, who is clearly biased against Rosie. This despite Morewill having committed an even worse indiscretion (bestiality).

Ambiguous Disorder is not a trope anymore, but a redirect to a YMMV entry.


* AmbiguousDisorder: Constantly maintains a flat affect when he speaks, similar to the cadence Joe Pera usually employs in his comedy routines, and often smiles inappropriately. When he is eating lunch, he is crying. He shows traits of autistic spectrum disorder or depression.

* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Towards the end of the second season when Scoop makes his life hell. Bob sincerely apologizes to Frank and tries to be a friend. He never remotely stops being a thorn in Frank's side after the weight loss and uses multiple opportunities to screw him and anyone else over, but he is shown to have some human decency and genuinely does try to be a better person. This does not stop him from [[spoiler: Convincing Dunbarton's widow to sell Mohican Airways through what he outright states as "treachery" so he can bank on his dream of a chicken skin restaurant, making everyone's lives even worse.]]

** To make matters even worse, his firing of Frank on Dunbarton's orders eventually costs Frank a seniority-based severance package when [[spoiler:Alaquippa buys Mohican]], leaving Frank feeling trapped in a bad situation. In a way, Bob Pogo managed to screw Frank over twice. It's no wonder Frank never has any contact with him again in the series after his father'sI funeral.

* TokenMinority: One of the few black employees at the airport. In fact during a Memorial Day parade, Bob Pogo has Rosie placed on a Mohican Airways float, just so he can boast how their company makes their token black guy "so happy and well-fed". Rosie is not amused nor flattered.
