* TakeThat: Ted has an entire song called "Kiss My Ass" which is basically one of these to the [[BillClinton Clinton]] [[HillaryRodhamClinton family]], animal rights activists, the sponsors of the Brady Act, and various other people and things from TheNineties that he doesn't particularly care for/thinks is stupid.

** Also two on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. The first was in the episode "I Don't Wanna Know Why The Caged Bird Sings", where a convict (voiced by SteveBuscemi) obsessed with Marge is waiting for her to call him on the prison phone. When he gets the call, it's the Nuge on the other side, asking for the passing of a pro-firearm amendment. The second was in the episode "Politically Inept, with Homer Simpson", where the Nuge asks Homer, in his stint hosting a conservative political show, to endorse him in his bid for the 2012 Republican Presidential nomination.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: There was a girl on his reality show he nicknamed, "RichBitch." She didn't stand out that much at the time. That girl would later be known as TilaTequila.

* BlatantLies: His talk of pointing a gun at BarackObama as if it were a street mugging when it was only during a discussion on FoxNews. If it happened like he really claimed, he'd have been tackled down by security guards and on trial.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: The [[StraightGay winner]] of his reality show was a class act from start to finish, but guarantee that Ted could '''ALWAYS''' find a way to be at least subtly insulting.
* EagleLand: If you haven't figured it out by now, he comes across as a strong Type 2.

* HotBlooded: During his live performances, Ted has a harder time standing still than an ADHD child who just drank a 12 pack of Red Bull.

* JerkAss: Lets take a look at some of the bad things he's done:
** He dodged the Vietnamese draft.
** He kills animals for fun.
** He once insulted BarackObama so much he got the secret service on him.
** [[EveryoneHasStandards Mitt Romney actually once called Ted a liar when Ted claimed to be asked to endorse Romney.]]
** He's been known to lie a lot.

* MilesGloriosus: For such a supposedly tough guy, he's also a draft dodger.

* SmallNameBigEgo: He never fails to proclaim his views very loudly. Unfortunately, he manages to not be articulate, mature or inciteful.
* SmugStraightEdge: Has strident anti-drug and anti-tobacco views.
