to:

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}BerserkButton: Don't call him a "demented old circus monkey"
* CloudCuckoolander: Arthur has some very strange ideas, to say the least.

to:

* {{JerkWithAHeartOfGold}}JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Arthur is entitled, petty, immature and unstable but he is also capable of being caring and insightful during his more lucid moments. It's not so much that he's a bad person as much as it is that he's batshit insane.



* ManChild: Despite being an elderly man, Arthur has the maturity of someone much younger than him. Sometimes he acts like a petulant teenager, sometimes he acts like a six year old

* DisproportionateRetribution: A waitress is constantly seeking advise from him. He gets fulfillment from this, until finding out from a dimwitted co worker that she only does so to follow the opposite of what he suggests. Following this he deliberately sets her up to follow ill advise (or ignore good advise). Whether or not he intended for this to get her fired and potentially bankrupt, he seems to find her outcome perfectly just in his gloating.

* TheLoad: He contributes nothing to the household and in fact has cost the Heffernans significant amounts of money (Started fires, sold their furniture when they are away...etc.) and stress (goes through personal belongings, keeps them awake at night when moved across the hall, constantly yelling and trying to force his rules on them...etc). Whenever he comes across some money like bingo winnings, he doesn't even think to offer Doug and Carrie any of it for something such as new appliances they all use and has to be more or less told to give it to them. Doug wants him out of the house for these reasons but Carrie defends him, claiming he isn't that bad (which is odd, as it has been firmly established that he was a terrible father).
