* '''Played For Horror''': Bob spits on the carpet, puts his shoes on the table, and then shoves it to the floor. When demanded why he is acting this way, he casually explains that "everything here will be rubble tomorrow". Indeed, Tropestan begins a genocidal war campaign as soon as Bob leaves.

* '''Straight''': Bob comes from Tropestan as an ambassador to CloudCuckooland. He gets drunk and insults the Emperor, hits on the emperor's wife, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking puts his elbows on the table]].

** Bob is a polite {{Ambadassador}} who defends CloudCuckooland's king against potential assassins and rebels. After all, shouldn't he work for the nation he interacts with and not turn a blind eye to its woes?

** Bob is assigned to Troperia and he shows them his utmost respect. He then loses his favor among the Tropestan government and is reassigned to CloudCuckooland.

Once his government notices this, they finally give him his old post back at Troperia.
* '''Averted''': Bob remains on his absolute best behavior while at the imperial palace of CloudCuckooland.
