* LaserGuidedKarma: His JerkAss antics finally catch up to him in the eighth season, when he gets thrown in the penalty box for unsportsmanlike behaviour culminating with him ruthlessly attacking someone who was laughing off his chirps. Jonesy and Reilly even [[KickTheSonOfABitch take the chance to get even with him]] by getting his ass beat by Joint Boy and Tyson while in the penalty box after he makes crude comments about Katy.

* ChivalrousPervert: They love taking down snipes, and they shoot their shot at practically any woman who looks their way, but when it comes to coaching the Shamrockettes, they keep it completely professional. They also have little patience for StayInTheKitchen attitudes.

* DeadpanSnarker

to:

* DeadpanSnarkerDeadpanSnarker: In a different way than her brother, who typically doles out a very dry TheReasonYouSuckSpeech when he does need to snark, Katy's typical mode of choice is to respond to a comment or person with a single one-liner and go on with her day.
-->'''Wayne:''' Katy! Seen a Dyck or two?

* UnskilledButStrong: Unlike many of the other characters who have some finesse to how they fight, Dan's main method is to just charge in like a bulldozer and use his size advantage to flatten whoever it is he's up against.


Added DiffLines:

* MrFanservice: Not only are the two played by the handsome Andrew Herr and Dylan Playfair, but they get some various scenes where they show off their impressive physiques, including an [[ItMakesSenseInContext episode where they're flexing their bare glutes repeatedly.]]

** McMurray fucking hates degens, which causes some conflict when [[spoiler: Wayne asks for his help getting Darry out of there.]]



* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: McMurray can be downright intolerable at times with his crass behavior and total lack of social awareness, but he's a true friend through and through

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: McMurray can be downright intolerable at times with his crass behavior and total lack of social awareness, but he's a true friend through and throughthrough. Even when he's [[spoiler: hesitant about saving Darry from the degens, he still shows up and brawls just as hard as the rest of them.]]



* SitcomArchNemesis: Often crosses over into this, from the way McMurray immediately calls for a second election when the other members vote Wayne on as president of the Ag Hall, his attempts to upstage Wayne on "Crack N Ag" and his attempts to appeal to "influenzas" in competition with Katy.



* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As obnoxious as they may be, they're generally well-meaning, and they do seem to genuinely care about Katy. In later seasons they even get along decently well with the Hicks whenever they all hang out.

* EveryoneHasStandards: He ''did'' steal the money from a church bake sale, but only as a harmless prank to get back at Glenn, and gives it back after a few hours without being prompted.

* HiddenDepths: Wants to be a DJ and doesn't seem to be too bad at it, from what we've heard. He also likes rap music and has an encyclopedic knowledge of hockey, to the point that it even convinces ''Wayne'' to hang out with him. He's also repeatedly shown to be a competent programmer and has a decent grasp of business and finances.

When asked for a woman he respects by Professor Tricia, he cites a female soccer player, showing knowledge of that sport as well.

* TechnicalPacifist: Outright states that he will not hit another human being under any circumstances. He will, however, [[WrestlerInAllOfUs use grapples and slams.]] [[spoiler: During the final brawl with the Degens to save Darry, he and Roald act as a distraction with fireworks instead of fighting, something they perform well.]]



* TookALevelInKindness: He's still snarky and often dismissive of the others but more willing to hang out as the series goes on. His insults during the comedy night at MoDean's 3 appear to be just friendly chirping and he's shown laughing in a "well, they're not wrong" way when the performers insult him. He and Roald work with Reilly and Jonesy to try to [[spoiler: convince Katy to stay in Letterkenny instead of moving to Mexico]] and during the series finale sincerely thanks everyone for showing up to his second rave.



* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Their focus in season 12 shows them as this. [[spoiler: Their idea of the town's signature wordplay is scamming one of their members into paying the other far more for a truck than it's worth, their use of metaphors like "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink" are invariably nasty and cruel, they engage in literal KickTheDog behavior and their idea of Saturday night fun is ''drawing straws to force someone to run while another member shoots at them with a rifle.'']]



** [[spoiler: Mickey Gibraltar wears a similar jumpsuit to Daryl's, and his homophobic language contrasts with Squirrely Dan's respectful language. In many ways though, he mirrors Wayne. Wayne is stern, finds emotion difficult to express, is very respectful of women, and resorts to physical violence to solve problems. Mickey is upbeat, able to emotionally engage, uses very misogynistic language, and uses words to solve problems. Wayne is straightforward, protective of his sister, helps even those who hurt him in the past, and never tries to change anyone to fit his traditional worldview. Mickey is two-faced, encourages people to lust for his sister, swindles his friends, and corrupts Darry to keep him around.]]
** [[spoiler: Mickey's sister Harley and Katy are both sexually active, enjoy chirping, and link groups together (Harley links Darry to the Degens; Katy links the Skids, Hicks, and Hockey Players. However, Katy looks for balanced, healthy relationships, shares her brother's sense of justice, and chirps in a playful way with friends. Harley is part of Darry's manipulation, enjoys the Degens' harm, and chirps in a hurtful way at strangers.]]

** Much like Jivin' Pete in Season 11, Squirrelly Dan and Darry in the start of the show are recovering drug addicts looking for a second chance. However, they work hard, take responsibility for their actions, and take Wayne's high standards into consideration. Jivin' Pete slacks off, does not acknowledge any fault, and spreads slander about Wayne.
