Added DiffLines:

* BitchInSheepsClothing: He pretends to be a wholesome, loving future husband to Kate, but it's a sleazy act that he's unfortunately successfully pulled on many other women.


Added DiffLines:

* GoldDigger: Deion seeks out and marries wealthy, successful women, only to divorce them and claim large settlements, and has even left his ex-wives with children they must now raise on their own.
* HumiliationConga: His attempted wedding with Kate goes poorly for him. First the pimps hijack it for an extended period of time with sermons, songs, and ads for their rib restaurant, which causes him to explosively lose his temper and make a child out of himself. Then his part in the Latimore conspiracy is exposed, and with it, his track record of gold-digging. If his ex-wives had any doubts of him being a scoundrel, they've now gotten proof of how they were targeted. Deion is forced to flee with his tail between his legs.
* IncompatibleOrientation: He told one of his ex-wives he realized he was gay as an excuse to divorce her.

* FanDisservice: Many, many scenes with Rasputia wearing short clothes, bikinis, lingerie or even naked, to the horror of Norbit, Kate and everyone around her. Of course, viewers who are Chubby Chaser's may enjoy scenes with Rasputia. That said, her poor hygiene, ugly face, and unflattering clothes and hairdos still make her largely unpleasant to look at even for people more receptive to her size.



* FatSlob: She displays poor hygiene and is a rather messy eater, which doesn't help considering she's a glutton who takes in a lot of food in a sitting.



* TheHeavy: Rasputia. While Big Black Jack is the default leader of the Lattimores, Rasputia is the main, personal threat to Norbit and the main antagonist of the movie.

Kate's fiancé who has his own agenda.
----
* {{Catchphrase}}: "I'm out!"



* DirtyCoward: His primary character trait is that he's a cowardly snake. Before the Latimores approach him, he immediately grows tired of handling the orphanage kids and decides to bail out before even trying to marry and plunder Kate's money. Later, after being exposed as a serial gold digger, he flees from the town and his ex-wives and children.
* DisappearedDad: He's had several children with his ex-wives, none of whom he cares to provide for or be a parent to.



* LethalChef: PlayedWith. He reheats some cheap takeout and pretends it's something he cooked himself for Kate, and naturally Kate later comments it tasted terrible. Her reaction to him presenting the meal at all makes plain that he doesn't really cook, ''period''.



* VillainExitStageLeft: Deion does this when his ex-wifes show up to the wedding and come after him. He even does his catchphrase.

* PsychologicalProjection: When Norbit tries to leave her, she begins screaming that he's nothing without her, when the same can be said for her. She's hated by everybody in town, even her brothers, and no man really wants her, with Norbit just being her stooge.
