* ScullyBox: Inverted in the ''Scary Movie'' series, when Hart had to stand in a trench in order to be slightly shorter than the other actors, since his character is short. Since Hart stands 5 feet 4½ inches tall, it seems that he frequently employs this device, rather than subverting it as he did in this movie.
* StarDerailingRole: ''Film/SoulPlane'' was supposed to be the film that put Kevin on the map. In fact, it was extremely popular and everyone who saw it praised his performance in it. Unfortunately, the film was leaked before its release and very heavily pirated (so much so that it's included in many "Most Pirated Movies" lists) and the studio didn't make any money from it so the major film roles quickly dried up for Kevin. He stuck to working in stand-up for several years before his profile rose to point where studios were practically begging him to star in their movies.

!!Tropes:
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: His drug addicted dad who showed up at school events without underwear.
* BlackComedy: His jokes about his drug-addicted dad, who never wore underwear.
* BrickJoke: Often, in his comedy shows, he'll come up with a {{running gag}} early on that is repeated a few times, then not mentioned until near the end of the show.
* ConspicuousConsumption: Discusses how he can't do that, since he doesn't have as much money as his athlete and actor friends, one of which actually rented out an amusement park for his kid's birthday.
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: He shares this trait with ChristopherTitus, including one notable relationship with an older woman that had him paranoid during his ''next'' relationship[[note]] Because the second woman wouldn't actually close her eyes when they were kissing, he thought maybe she was looking at his ex-girlfriend behind him[[/note]].
-->'''Hart''': Ever argue with a female and, in the middle of the argument, you no longer feel safe because of her actions? She may start pacing back and forth real fast, breathing out her nose. You know what my girl do? When she get mad, she start [[ThirdPersonPerson talking in the third person]]. That's scary as hell because that's her way of telling me that from this point on, she is not responsible for none of her actions.
* FamilyDisunion / TheFunInFuneral: His mother's funeral.
* HolierThanThou: His cousin Al, a former drug addict who found Jesus.
-->''(in response to "Good morning)'' Uh, it is a good morning, because Jesus woke us up. Hello! Boom! I love Jesus, do you?
* MistakenForCheating: He describes how he never went for a walk and fed pigeons when he was married because his wife would think that he was lying about feeding pigeons and was cheating. In another instance, he describes a crazy girl who assumed he was cheating, and after hearing her "evidence" describes a long story involving an explanation for all the "evidence" (including the fact that said girl was drunk the night before and forgot most of what happened).
* MilkingTheGiantCow: Mocked when he talks about how to be a singer:
-->All you need to know how to do is open your hands, close 'em, and point.
* MoodSwinger: Discusses women who do this:
-->Have you ever seen a woman go from frantic to calm, real fast? "MOTHAFUCKA YOU A PIECE OF SHIT. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HURTIN ME LIKE THIS. ''(CreepyMonotone)'' But it's gon' be the last time that you do some shit to me. I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT IT, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK! ''(CreepyMonotone again)'' But let me tell you something nigga, you gon get your shit together or GET THE FUCK OUT!"
* TheNapoleon:On his tv series ''Series/TheRealHusbandsOfHollywood''.
* NWordPrivileges: He talks about how he got a ghetto SpongeBob for his daughter's party who played "Duck Duck Nigga" with the kids. The white kid there refused to play because he felt like it would be saying the word.
* OhCrap: Twice involving his friend Harry. One time, he comes back to his house drunk after cheating on his girlfriend and his girlfriend confronts him about it. He calls Harry, expecting him to make up an alibi. Instead Harry says, "You was with that bitch with the fat ass." Another time, he is in the car when Harry calls and the phone is on speaker. Now, Harry invented the code "I'm hungry as shit" to signal that their girlfriends were in the room, so don't say anything dumb. Harry however completely forgets the code and when Kevin says it, he responds "That must mean you ready to eat these [[WhereDaWhiteWomenAt WHITE BITCHES]]!"
* PissTakeRap: Hart talks about how he can't rap because of his high-pitched voice, in one of his comedy specials:
-->(high pitched voice) "Yeah, bitch, I'm a killer, I shoot you in your face. (makes finger guns) [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_axfpqRX1w Pshoom, Pshoom]], Everybody gon' die. Pshoom pshoom, everybody gon' die tonight." Did he just say "Pshoom, pshoom"? I'm not buying that shit if he said "pshoom, pshoom".
* SelfDeprecation: His comedy frequently utilizes this.
** One episode of ''The Real Husbands'' has SamuelLJackson and Anthony Anderson making fun of his role in ''Soul Plane''.
* ScullyBox: Inverted in the ''Scary Movie'' series, when Hart had to stand in a trench in order to be slightly shorter than the other actors, since his character is short. Since Hart stands 5 feet 4½ inches tall, it seems that he frequently employs this device, rather than subverting it as he did in this movie.
* StarMakingRole: 2012's ''Think Like a Man'' was Kevin Hart's first leading role in a film and he ended up stealing the show.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Being in RideAlong with IceCube seems to show how similar he is to Chris Tucker
* TalkativeLoon: His Uncle Richard, who just got out of prison, and who is the originator of one of the memes mentioned in MemeticMutation.
* TheNewTens: When he reached main stream audience and when he is in his prime.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: He originally auditioned for ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' in the early 2000s, but was rejected because of his poor celebrity impressions. He also was a potential cast member for ''Film/TowerHeist''.
