* IrrationalHatred: He is shown to have a distaste for his own mother (to the point where he says [[YouShouldHaveDiedInstead she should have died first]]) with zero explanation. His hatred towards Teddy is also petty since Teddy did nothing to wrong him. Then again, it's likely because he doesn't want Teddy to [[ItsAllAboutMe "take the Wolfpack away from him."]]

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: For all his thoughtless acts he gets away with in the first two films, he was about to be sent to an insane asylum in the third film. While he doesn't make it to there, a bunch of traumatic events are enough to make him learn from his ways.

Alan did genuinely change his ways, so he averts the MEH. Also, no YMMV for this page.

* BlackComedyRape: [[spoiler:In the second movie, it is indicated that he got raped and sodomized by a transsexual stripper.]]



* TheChewToy: In the first film, his girlfriend controls his life with an iron fist and he not only lacks the guts to stand up for himself (until the end), but actually makes excuses for her abusing and cheating on him. In the second film, his disapproving father-in-law emasculates him in a similar fashion. And to top it all off, Alan's stupidity results in Stu being put through hell in both films and nearly having his marriage destroyed in the second, before it even gets off the ground.

* WouldHurtAChild: Subverted when he claims that he cannot be 200 feet near a school, as it’s confirmed that he never harmed any children and was just innocently playing with them, which looked suspicious to parents. Played straight in the second film, where he has zero issue drugging 16-year-old Teddy out of hatred.

* JerkassRealization: In the third film, [[spoiler:when he meets up with Jade's son Tyler, he begins to realize how selfish and reckless he was being to everyone, especially when he recalls that his father died because of his antics. This motivates him to mature for the better by living his own life with Cassie.]]
-->[[spoiler:"My dad was nice too. We did everything together. He was my life partner, heh. I really let him down."]]
* JerkassToOne: He's on good terms with most people, but he shows a side of bitterness towards his mother, Teddy and (in the third film) Stu.
