* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Lou is this for the gang. His nonstop obnoxious jerkass streak and overall sociopathic self-destructive tendencies that often put him and his friends in peril lead the rest of the gang to despise him greatly despite still choosing to hang around him. Even his own son and wife as seen in the sequel if Lou continued his ways found him to be a "virus" and want nothing to do with him.
