** Bob has one his underlings iced for [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raping someone]].

** EvilVersusOblivion.

** Bob has a very long list of things he will not do, to the point that he is [[HarmlessVillain ineffectual]] as a bad guy.

* '''Played For Horror''': Bob massacres Alice's entire adult family, including her distant relatives and pets, because [[EvilIsPetty she didn't allow him to go through the express checkout with eleven articles]], and rips off her arms, legs, eyes and jaw, but leaves her alive because she was a single mother (and it's a good thing the kid was not home, otherwise he would have been ForcedToWatch.

** Somebody suggests killing a relative of the witness to a murder. The Mob Boss says "No.", and, much later, when asked, proceeds to explain the Pragmatic Villainy reasons for not doing so. And then mentions that "Even if all that weren't true, it just isn't the proper thing to do." And then the guy dies anyway, and everyone thinks it was him, but then he finds and turns in the ''real'' killer, who was the guy he talked to. Mob Boss gave the order to kill as a XanatosGambit: Whether the witness dies or not, the Mob Boss has an excuse to punish the guy for an unrelated offense, but the witness' death is not the preferred outcome because they had kids to support.

** The Mob Boss, after an awkward pause, [[DidYouActuallyBelieve laughs at his underlings for believing he would have any scruples about going after people's families]]. "I'm just fucking with you. KillEmAll."
