* JerkJock: Zig-zagged with Brick in a sort triple subversion / deconstruction. He's the school wrestling star, but his first on-screen interaction with Patty is helping her off the ground after Magnolia shoves her down. However, he later rudely snubs her when Nonnie suggests they go out together. But later still (after Patty loses the weight), he expresses regret for his earlier behaviour, and only improves from there by agreeing to [[spoiler:help Patty shed weight after the disastrous birthday roast and offer a safe haven after Christian goes full creepy stalker]]. It's heavily implied that a lot of Brick's unsavoury behaviour is due to a less-than-healthy relationship with Bob, but that he is fundamentally a decent person.
