* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Franklin is the victim of this twice, the first being by Ray-Ray and Lenny who jump him in the alley for taking their supplier, and the second time by Ray-Ray and his goons in prison in retribution for Franklin forcing Ray-Ray to kill Lenny at gunpoint.



* PetTheDog: He saves Franklin from being killed in the Mexicans territory when he walks by him being dragged into the house.



* BerserkButton: Louie getting hurt brings the worst out of Jerome. A prime example of this is when Louie is caught in the crossfire during an attempt on Leon's life, prompting Jerome to furiously take matters in his own hands and start the war between Franklin and Manboy's crews and when Louie is kidnapped by Kane, he and Franklin put their differences aside to rescue her.
* TheBigGuy: Jerome is physically imposing and often uses his size and strength to put people in their place.



* Jerkass: Jerome is boisterous as hell and is very rude most of the time.

* RejectedApology: When held at gunpoint by Black Diamond and Dallas. Leon apologizes for accidentally killing her daughter but she doesn't accept it, instead wanting his head.

Added DiffLines:

* EvenEvilHasStandards: When Franklin and Jerome go to confront Jim Volpe for stealing some of their cocaine, Jim whines about how he needed to sell the cocaine to cover the expenses of raising his son, which he has meticulously tallied up. Jerome may be an unrepentant drug dealer, but he is so appalled at the notion of keeping a running tab on your own offspring that he summons Jim's son and goads the boy into beating up his dad for being such a stingy asshole.

Added DiffLines:

* ScaryBlackMan: Jerome is a brolic black man who happens to be a drug dealer and uses both his physical strength and weapons to intimidate or murder rival drug dealers.
* UncleTomfoolery: He has the racial characteristics of a stereotypical black man in 1980s Los Angeles: loud, boisterous, and always cracking jokes that'll make the people around him (and audience) laugh. He slowly loses this over the course of the series as his arc in the drug trade becomes more serious.
