* BadBoss
BadBoss: So much this. He introduces himself to the actors under his direction by declaring himself their genetic superior, using only their first names for evidence.
* CreepyUncle: Poor Ollie can't catch a break; if it isn't his dad's (alleged) physical beatings, it's Uncle Avagadro's sexual abuse.
* TooKinkyToTorture: After his death and damnation, he keeps complaining that Hell is nothing like the travel guides suggest. Said travel guides are ''Bibles''.

!!Pepito Sanchezberg
Avagadro's personal dwarf sex slave, who manages to escape and live with the main cast for a while. After Avagadro dies, he inherits his former employer's estate and lives it up- before being ripped apart by a horde of rabid catgirls at a con.

* SuddenlyBilingual: Inverted. For the longest time after Pepito was introduced, he only ever spoke (poorly translated) Spanish. However, after finding his way back to Boston, he accidentally reveals that he can speak English too; much to Davan's chagrin.

* BlobMonster: His silly putty-like consistency was originally assumed to be the result of old age plus a whole catalog of medical issues.

to:

This pisses her off.



* NiceGuy[=/=]NiceGuysFinishLast: Subverted heavily — a major point of Milholland's (and Davan's) is that a lot of supposed "Nice Guys" are actually self-involved, self-pitying jerks like Mike, who are actually quite selfish, and only after most girls because of their looks (something they hypocritically accuse the girls of doing with the "jerks" they go out with). And that said "Nice Guys" often pretend to be girls' friends just to potentially seduce them later, while pining over them like stalkers, none of which is "nice" behavior at all.
