History YMMV / RepublicOfDoyle

* TheScrappy: Tinny (to some - also qualifies as {{the load}}). Has grown/dealt marijuana (which could have landed Jake/Malachy in ''serious'' trouble if she'd been caught), is a completely manipulative witch to Mal, Rose and Jake in the beginning (who are all honestly trying to help), blatantly uses Des, finally gets a chance to go to England and [[spoiler:seems to have just thrown it away]], etc.

* EvilIsSexy: Kevin Crocker, as played by PaulGross. Oof.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Arguably, Tinny and Leslie as of season three.

*** [[spoiler:Perhaps not since Des has been able to covertly secure the remains of Jake's [=GTO=].]]

* LawfulGood: Leslie and Malachy (although they've shown occasional {{neutral good}} tendencies as well).

* NeutralGood: Jake and Rose.

* LawfulGood: Leslie and Malachy (although they've shown occasional {{neutral good}} as well).

* PanderingToTheBase: Shirtless Jake is blatantly pandering to the female fanbase (and probably not a few [[EvenTheGuysWantHim male fans]] as well]]. [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dTQ4Civ9X-8/TSQK4CWCnbI/AAAAAAAAKv4/q1J3oN3dx5s/s1600/allan-hawco-shirtless-002.jpg Yeowza]].
* TheScrappy: Tinny (to some - also qualifies as {{the load}}). Grows and deals drugs, is a complete witch to Mal, Rose and Jake in the beginning (who are all honestly trying to help), blatantly uses Des, regularly manipulates people to get what she wants, finally gets a chance to go to England and [[spoiler:seems to have just thrown it away]], etc.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Usually about once an episode.
** Rose managing to get rid of her criminal ex. BewareTheNiceOnes indeed.
** When Jake and Malachy stop sniping at each other, they make a team to be reckoned with.
** Hell, even Des has had his moments - like protecting Tinny and trying to fight back even with a broken leg. Doubles as a [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming CMOH]].
** Gordon Pinsent's character gets a rather [["[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgkb8ao3Gc0 spectacular]] [[TheChessmaster one]].
** Des is [[spoiler:hit by a car]] and when Jake and Malachy find the guy who did it...
--> '''Jake''': Hey, buddy! [[spoiler: Think you left something on the road back there - our little friend]]!
--> '''Guy''': *Throws a bag at Jake and tries to take off* Don't kill me! We can make a deal!
--> '''Malachy''': *Flattens the guy with a lovely roundhouse punch* No deals, man. You touched my family. I don't have a lot of patience, so START TALKING!
--> '''Jake''': [[CrowningMomentOfFunny I'd do what he says, because]] [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming I've *never* seen him this pissed off before]].
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Usually about once a ''scene''.
** Des and Jake's interaction is usually made of funny:
--> '''Jake''': ''Why'' is it that whenever I talk to you, I want to punch you in the face?!
--> '''Des''': ...'cause you're mean?
** [[DeadpanSnarker Rose]] has her moments as well.
--> '''Martin Poole''': Ok, it's official, I'm aroused.
--> '''Rose''': Really? I don't see anything.
** All of this has nothing on Jake and Malachy's snarkfests, however. Good ''grief''.
*** Take, for example, the instance when Jake nearly gets himself killed (again). Malachy starts railing at him, and Doyle retorts "I'd ask you to come down and help me, but of course you'll never get your walker down here!"
*** There's another instance when Malachy is just [[ItMakesSenseInContext getting out of jail]], and Doyle asks him how it went. Malachy's response? "Dandy, they're talking about naming a wing after you."
** Jake vs. pompous airbag Garrison Steele. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD-Oqi_TjM0 Hoo boy]].
** Des, looped up on painkillers and trying to stealthily peer down a med student's blouse (after calling her an angel and generally babbling).
** Bruce thinking Jake, Des and Malachy were hitmen because they were standing in the road in front of his house "trying to steal those [[BuffySpeak snow... sled... machine... things]]."
** Martin [[spoiler: drugging and kidnapping Rose]]. [[RunningGag Again]].
*** Also, his being shot in the behind for gambling too much... and then shot again. Probably because he deserved it.
** Des figures out that Tinny's back in town, then slams the computer shut as Malachy walks in. When Malachy asks him what's wrong... "[[spoiler:I got hit by a car]] and I'm on drugs. *Nonchalant shrug*"
** Jake is [[SarcasmMode *excellent*]] with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yL74k2hG_Y&feature=related children.]].* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming:
** Rose and Malachy together are a huge CMOH.
** Whenever Jake gets protective of someone.
