* KickTheSonOfABitch: He slaughters Vince's punk bandmates after escaping Vince's body, but since they were responsible for Vince getting infected with him in the first place, and tried to kill him for scatting onstage, you can't really feel sorry for them.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: He goes from a rather sophisticated animatronic in Series 1 to a cheap gorilla suit in Series 2. The suit is far more iconic. And he changes appearance again in Series 3, with the second costume reappearing as a member of the Flighty Zooz.

* AnythingThatMoves: Bob Fossil is in love with Bainbridge. He also apparently fell for Naboo in "Hitcher", and it's mentioned a few times that he may have paid Howard for sexual favours. In the radio show he really likes Vince, obviously favouring him over Howard whom he seems to hate for no reason. And he had a "summer fling" with Bollo. But he also has a Vietnamese wife.

* WrongLineOfWork: It's not clear how he got to be manager of the Zooniverse when he's so much of a CloudCuckooLander that he can't remember the names of the animals and often has to describe them with BuffySpeak.

We can use redirects, though we're not supposed to edit trope names like that. Also, Playing Gertrude is no longer a trope.


* PlayingGertrude: As noted under VagueAge, he's never given a consistent age in canon, but his actor Julian Barratt is only five years older than Noel Fielding in real life.



* PlayingGertrude: Male version. He's clearly meant to be in his late forties to mid-fifties, but he's played by an actor who is actually younger than Noel Fielding, who plays Vince as [[VagueAge somewhere between the ages of twenty and thirty two]].

-->'''Saboo:''' What? You ''are'' an ape!

* Notably, in addition to his brain cell declaring that he "goes both ways," Vince also admonishes the Crack Fox for using a homophobic slur.
** In the episode "Party," when Howard is talking about potentially becoming gay because of his failure with women, Vince tries to explain to him that it's not as simple as just "deciding" to be gay.
