* OneSceneWonder: Several characters can be seen as this, such as Creator/NoelFielding's Dickie, who despite only featuring in a few scenes and hardly being a main character, seems to be a fan favorite.

* InformedAttractiveness: Well, arguably, more of a case of informed unattractiveness. Art is repeatedly described as or implied to be the ugly one of the pair, while Sal is “the pretty one.” This despite the two of them being about the same level of attractiveness.

* CompulsiveLiar: Sal. He lies at least twice about his past, once to Art and once to Colette, and also lies about insignificant things such as where he found a dog(the dog in question was stolen from Colette and Emily, but he insisted it was a stray). He does admit fairly quickly to Art that he lied about his past, though, so the lying might not be so compulsive.

* CreepyCrossdresser: Dickie can be seen as one of these. He's a grown man, dressed in what appear to be children's dresses, and his makeup is exaggerated. That combined with his childlike, almost deranged behaviour, could lead him to appear creepy. Although, [[spoiler:he doesn't seem to have any bad intentions with Art and Sal, only behaving the way he does because he mistook them for patrons.]]
