| 7 | |
| 8 | -> ''"You don't know a thing about me if you think you can come in here and spew that Pinko gobbledygook! Oh, you Commies use a lotta fancy words, don'tcha, like 'Bourgoisie', 'Oligarchy' and 'Feminism'! But there's one word you'll ''never'' understand: '''Freedom'''!"'' |
| 9 | ->'''Played by:''' Andrew "Atun-Shei Films" Rakich |
| 10 | |
| 11 | A 1950s g-man [[HumanPopsicle cryogenically frozen]] by an evil Nazi conspiracy and thawed out in the present day. He's opened a private detective agency out of the back of a tire shop, where he struggles to deal with a alien and vaguely hostile modern world in the ''Frozen '50s Man'' show. |
| 12 | ----- |
| 13 | * TheAlcoholic: Even setting aside the fact that he's from the '50s and drinks like it, Dick tends to self-destruct with alcohol when he's not on a case. At the start of Episode 2, during a cold streak in cases, the inside of his office is a wasteland of beer cans, and he chugs mouthwash while cleaning himself up. |
| 14 | -->'''Dick's Inner Monologue:''' Now, Ms. Buttle kept going on about how I was an "addict" and I "needed help". [[PoliticallyIncorrectHero I just smiled and nodded the way I always do when a woman is talking nonsense]]. Sure, I like a drink, but I ain't no lush. [[BlatantLies I can quit the sauce no problem]]. Just need some [[GargleBlaster mouthwash to take the edge off]] and I'm right as rain. |
| 15 | * BaitAndSwitch: In Episode 2, while being informed about the 2021 insurrection at the United States capitol, Dick Jett is horrified, and seems to finally find common ground with Alexis as he expresses his belief that anyone who desecrates the capitol building ought to have the book thrown at them... [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954_United_States_Capitol_shooting just like those god-damned Puerto Ricans in '54!]] Alexis even gives him a chance to walk it back, asking if he sees a difference between desperate and colonized people denied franchise and a mob refusing to accept the legitimate result of a free and fair election when they didn't like it. Dick confirms he does not. |
| 16 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: In the first episode, Alexis Buttle, a young black woman with an academic background in both progressive politics and criminal justice, sought him out because, despite his rigid and rabid conservatism and general troubles with the modern day, he's a ''damn'' good detective when he can get out of his own way. |
| 17 | * CharacterDevelopment: Throughout the first episode he refers to Alexis as his secretary, but after the first case is solved he says he wants to hire her as his partner. |
| 18 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: A frequent RunningGag. Just as an example, when asked if he'll have trouble working with a black woman, he reassures her he's not racist in a... unique way. |
| 19 | -->'''Dick:''' Would a racist... own ''this''? ''(pulls out a Nazi swastika flag)'' [[note]][[BattleTrophy Berlin, '45. Stabbed a Kraut officer right in the testicles. Ripped it out of his hands and then put two in his chest. God, that was the best summer of my life.]][[/note]] |
| 20 | * CorruptedCharacterCopy: In Episode 3's parody of ''Film/TheMalteseFalcon1941'', he serves as one to Sam Spade, as a detective chasing an artifact after his partner gets killed with the aide of a sketchy LoveInterest. Unlike that movie, however, [[spoiler:his LoveInterest truly wasn't to blame for his partner's murder....but Dick pinned the murder on her anyway, figuring that someone was going to go down for it and he [[ItsAllAboutMe wouldn't let that be him]], and showing him to be a far more selfish and immoral character than Spade.]] |
| 21 | * DeliberateValuesDissonance: As with many Creator/AtunSheiFilms characters, Jett is a representative of a different time; that is, he's a zealous anti-communist who vaguely associates progressive social causes with dastardly commie plots, has a view of women somewhere between patronizing and objectifying, and starts the first episode of his series peeping with binoculars through a woman's window to watch her undress, then drinks, drives, ''and'' speeds to get to his office quickly enough to respond to a job prospect. |
| 22 | * ADickInName: Him having a '50s mentality (due to being frozen in the '50s) leads to him coming off as a bit of a jerk in the modern United States, and his name is Dick. |
| 23 | * DirtyCommunists: Sees them under every bedsheet and often caterwauls about the evils of Communism while also clearly [[ArtisticLicensePolitics simultaneously having no idea what Communism is, conflating it with Marxism and believing all American "Communism is an evil political system that hates freedom and individuality" propaganda from the fifties]]. |
| 24 | --> '''Dick:''' [[ArtisticLicensePolitics Under Communism, a man has no individuality, no freedom! He merely serves at the pleasure of his party, and his government! And fellas, fellas, ain't that just like signing a blank check and handing it over to a stranger?]] When I go on to my computer-machine and I switch the channel to [[Website/TwitterX that program with the little blue bird]], I see more hammers and sickles than a ''parade in Red Square'', and you know what!? It makes me mad! |
| 25 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: The one piece of technology he appears to have adapted to with relative ease is to drive a modern car, which would be {{justified|Trope}} given that he's a man who was frozen in the '50s, but even then, he's shown speeding ''and'' taking several sips of his flask when he first drives to meet Alexis Buttal at his office. |
| 26 | -->'''Dick:''' My office was 20 minutes away. I got there in five. |
| 27 | * EverybodyHasStandards: While Dick Jett has a lot of dated ideas about women, minorities (racial and religious) and the LGBT community, his bigotry nevertheless has its limits. |
| 28 | ** He isn't against hiring a black woman to be his partner, even flirting with her on occasion, despite being against ending segregation, and is perfectly fine with working alongside female officers (even if he can be rather patronizing about it). |
| 29 | ** Being from the era when the Nuclear Family was invented, he's still willing to work with and take on clients he would consider to be "sexual deviants", including openly gay men and people in polygamous relationships. |
| 30 | ** Being an American patriot who killed Nazis in World War II, he is opposed to fascist rhetoric just as much as he hates communism (or at least fascist rhetoric he recognizes). |
| 31 | ** In Episode 2, he meets a group of right-wing radicals who seemingly share his ideals on things like race, but he quickly realizes that they make him look moderate in comparison. He finds the January 6th insurrection to be woefully anti-American, he finds Tony Edgelord's far-right comedy ([[TakeThat which is just him saying racist and sexist things for shock value]]) unfunny and sees [=QAnon's=] opposition to representative democracy as a red flag. |
| 32 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: PlayedForLaughs. His outdated ideas and frequent confusion about the 21st century is a common source of comedy. |
| 33 | * ForGreatJustice: This is his primary motivation for fighting crime, and he often waxes poetic about his idealized version of American freedom that was commonly held and even enforced in certain aspects in the fifties. |
| 34 | * GreatDetective: While he has the aesthetics of a PrivateDetective, his powers of observation and deduction have his prospective partner, Alexis Buttle, admiringly compare him to Franchise/SherlockHolmes in the first episode. |
| 35 | * HopelessWithTech: He's doing his best, but man, these computer-machines... |
| 36 | * IdenticalStranger: Dick Jett is an inexplicable dead ringer for Klaus, since they're played by the same actor. He [[ExploitedTrope knows it too]], it's how he killed Hitler while in disguise! |
| 37 | * ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: When Alexis calls him out on the fact that he is not really that great of a detective, but rather "just another creepy old white guy who failed up", Jett merely retorts that he is "not that old". |
| 38 | * LovableSexManiac: Even more so than the average sexually frustrated man of the '50s, Dick is both a [[ThePeepingTom Peeping Tom]] and a porn addict, but remains our relatable hero. |
| 39 | * LoveInterestTraitor: At the end of Episode 3, he reveals that he turned in his love interest to the FBI for the murder of his partner, a crime she didn't commit, because he didn't want to get in trouble for putting his partner in the lethal situation. |
| 40 | --> '''Dick''': J Edgar actually gave me a commendation for that, as a matter of fact. |
| 41 | * MeaningfulName: He's a PrivateDetective (i.e. a "private dick") and his name is Dick. |
| 42 | * NobleBigot: Dick Jett does at least try to have a bit of sympathy for people and do the right thing... but, well, he's a 50s man in the modern United States, and has even more trouble navigating the weird and over-the-top world of, say, queer social media content creators than a normal person would. |
| 43 | * PatrioticFervor: He truly believes in the American experiment, WartsAndAll...except due to the time period he was raised in, he believes there ''are'' no warts and that everything America has ever done was good and justified, which can lead to his vitriolic defense of the country sometimes [[InnocentlyInsensitive unintentionally leaning toward the reactionary]], especially when [[DirtyCommunists Communism is brought up]]. |
| 44 | --> '''Dick:''' I wake up in the twenty-first century and what do I find? Rome in the fourth century, a declining empire! A culture rotting from the inside out! And the source of the rot is obvious, it's one of the most pernicious ideologies ever known to humankind! |
| 45 | --> '''Senator Sleazy:''' [[DemocracyIsBad Representative Democracy]]. |
| 46 | --> '''Dick:''' What? No!, No, [[DirtyCommunists Communism]]! |
| 47 | * PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Dick Jett might be a brilliant detective, but he's... well, he's metaphorically ''and'' literally frozen in the 1950s. |
| 48 | * PrivateEyeMonologue: Naturally, as a parody of the archetype and the genre, he uses it frequently, complete with silly disconnect between what he reports and what the audience sees. |
| 49 | * RhetoricalQuestionBlunder: While Alexis is shooting him down in Episode 2 because she doesn't want to date a coworker, he asks, in a teasing and flirty way, whether or not aggressively hitting on a coworker in the workplace is now politically incorrect and is ''very'' put out when she informs him that it is. |
| 50 | * YouAreACreditToYourRace: After the first case, he the says Alexis's work was impressive "... for a woman". |
| 51 | * WouldHitAGirl: One of the first acts he's shown doing in modern times is punching out a woman with a "Medicare for All" sign. |
| 52 | * VerbalTic: He has tendency to spout the old-timey "Hey, what's the big idea?" when he's surprised by something. |

| 57 | |
| 58 | -> ''"I want to do what you do. When I was a girl I wanted to be a police officer, but now...now I can't say I relish the idea of being a foot soldier in the army of the Capitalist billionaire class that serves a White Supremacist social order that seeks to repress anyone who doesn't fit inside this narrow and antiquated view of European cishet normalcy."'' |
| 59 | ->'''Played by:''' Kendra Unique |
| 60 | Dick Jett's partner, who originally responded to an ad for a secretary. Dick Jett's guide to the modern world and a helpful and intelligent investigator in her own right. She is eventually revealed to be the leader of ANTIFA, [[ArtisticLicensePolitics an anarchist organization]], in episode 3. |
| 61 | ----- |
| 62 | * AllForNothing: Her attempt to locate the Corsican Dildo and use the money it would make her to improve the world becomes this when it turns out Dick has no idea where it was and his lengthy story was just a giant waste of time. |
| 63 | * BelligerentSexualTension: At the start of the second act of Episode 2, her and Dick's sexual tension gets some working-over from their FBI handler, who narrates Alexis's inner turmoil about liking some things about Dick while finding others repulsive. |
| 64 | * ChummyCommies: She's one of the friendly main characters, and is clearly a full-on Leftist. Though she prefers the label of Liberatarian Socialist, she believes that Communism is an ultimate ideal to be achieved in society. Naturally, this causes friction between her and raving Commie-hater Dick. |
| 65 | * CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Generally helps Jett use any piece of technology more advanced than a car and keeps him on-track when his mind starts to wander or his '50s politics get in the way of the case. |
| 66 | * ADegreeInUseless: Her major was criminal justice, which she found herself turned off from in light of the increasing revelation that some American police forces have been infiltrated by and/or become complacent towards white supremacist groups. Her minor was indigenous women's studies, something Dick Jett can barely understand, let alone respect. |
| 67 | * HypercompetentSidekick: She's far more capable of navigating the modern era than Jett. |
| 68 | * NotSoAboveItAll: While she's almost always portrayed as the level-headed person who keeps Jett in check from his "frozen in the 50s" antics, she's shown to still be susceptible to some maladaptive social behaviors of today. When Conrad the Comrade's husband decries that his husband got "cancelled", Jett wonders why he didn't just stop using the "computer machine" for a while, to which Conrad's husband, already scrolling his phone, says that he doesn't understand what he's trying to say. It then cuts to Alexis also browsing her phone. |
| 69 | * OnlySaneMan: In contrast to Dick Jett, who is still metaphorically frozen in the 50s after being literally frozen then, and to the bizarre modern day world of over-the-top sexual nihilism and maladaptive social behaviors both caused and fueled by social media, Alexis is a [[NotSoAboveItAll usually]] level-headed and sensible person who typically serves as AudienceSurrogate. |
| 70 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: She quits working for Dick Jett and opens her own detective agency at the end of Episode 3 after listening to him tell a story about an old case in which he got his partner killed, let the murderer go free, and betrayed his love interest. |
| 71 | -->'''Alexis:''' You're no brilliant detective. You're just another creepy old white guy who failed up. |
| 72 | * SoapboxSadie: Downplayed. She's quite the political activist and radical progressive from the moment she and Dick first meet, but she's usually the more reasonable of the two until Episode 3, where she's revealed to be the leader of ANTIFA. |
| 73 | * QueerEstablishingMoment: Episode 2 reveals her to be bisexual when Gina Bunkerson asks her if she would like to go out for a drink later in the week, and she accepts. |

| 85 | The CampGay husband of Conrad "The Comrade", Joel is the one who initally brings Dick's first case to his office, asking Dick to find his husband's murderer. |
| 86 | ---- |
| 87 | * CampGay: He walks into Dick's office wearing extremely flamboyant clothing, and [[DeliberateValuesDissonance Dick is immediately confused when he says he has a husband]]. |
| 88 | * DameWithACase: Gender inverted. Joel fills essentially the same role in the plot as one of these, but instead of a sultry FemmeFatale, he's a [[CampGay fruity, effeminate man]]. |

| 94 | ->'''Played By:''' Randy Walker |
| 95 | An extremely popular Socialist twitch streamer. Conrad the Comrade fell from grace after he tweeted that [[FauxHorrific not everyone who votes Republican is necessarily a bad person]], and was seemingly [[DisproportionateRetribution murdered live on stream]] not long after. In reality, he seduced a fan of his and used him to fake his own death in order to escape online cancellation. |
| 96 | ---- |
| 97 | * {{Expy}}: Of socialist streamer Vaush, although he's clearly much more of a Marxist than Vaush, who is a Libertarian Socialist. They both are queer, bearded livestreamers who go against the grain of the online Left and are frequently accused of being Liberals and [[NoTrueScotsman not real Leftists]]. |
| 98 | * HeelFaceDoorSlam: Shot dead by Dick just after Alexis manages to talk him into turning himself in. |
| 99 | * ImAHumanitarian: Liquifies Mohet Jazwal's remains into a smoothie and drinks him over a period of a month while hiding in the walls at Kit Thistle's house. |
| 100 | * TooDumbToLive: Apparently he recorded a stream explaining in detail his plan to fake his death by killing one of his fans and then escape to Cuba. He is then shocked when his victim's husband figures out it was him from watching the stream (although in fairness, nobody else seems to have worked it out). |
| 101 | * UngratefulBastard: Openly hates his fans despite admitting all the good things they've done for him. |
| 102 | -->'''Conrad''': Fuck my fans! What have my fans ever done for me? Apart from pay for all my bills...my rent...my trip to Cuba...I hate my fans! |

| 107 | [[caption-width-right:492:]] |
| 108 | A Stalin apologist and Twitter troll who sent Conrade the Comrade death threats. They were apprehended by the police immediately after his murder for being a prime suspect in the case, but Joel believes that they're innocent, since no self-respecting Tankie would be caught dead reading Emma Goldman's literature, of which a copy can clearly be seen in the killer's pocket on the recorded livestream footage of Conrad's murder. They instead point Dick and Alexis in the direction of Kit Thistle. |
| 109 | ---- |
| 110 | * NotHyperbole: They say that their alibi during Conrad's murder was having tea with Queen Elizabeth, and Dick initially assumes they're just being indignant, until Alexis sources a picture of them indeed having tea with the Queen at the time, confirming their story. |
| 111 | * StrawmanPolitical: Mx. Price is an unflattering caricature of terminally online Authoritarian Leftists, and at one point calls Emma Goldman a "[[ArtisticLicensePolitics goddamn Nazi bitch]]". |

| 118 | The host of the web video series ''Palaeontology Tube'', Kit Thistle is a Breadtuber who also had a grudge against Comrade the Comrade. Dick and Alexis go to his house to interrogate him, but he denies everything. However, after [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique Dick roughs him and his partners up a little bit]] after being caught snooping around his house, he commits suicide by cyanide capsule. |
| 119 | ---- |
| 120 | * ArmoredClosetGay: Inverted. Despite being being publicly known as a flamboyant pansexual man in a polyamorous relationship, Thistle's terrible Dark Secret was that he was actually heterosexual and desired a monogamous relationship. Conrad blackmailed him into aiding his scheme by threatening to out him. |
| 121 | * CaptainErsatz: Of Abigail Thorn, the host of ''WebVideo/PhilosophyTube'', at least before she came out as trans. Their names and show titles are almost exactly the same. |
| 122 | * CouldSayItBut: His video "I'M GOING TO KILL CONRAD THE COMRADE" comes off as this, as he claims in the video that that's what he ''would'' say...if he were an Allosaurus. |
| 123 | * [[DepravedBisexual Depraved Pansexual]]: He apparently likes to have threesome orgies while dressed as a dinosaur. Later subverted when it turns out he's actually straight. |

| 130 | ---- |

| 149 | The second-in-command of [=Qanon=] and [[TheDragon Klaus' Dragon]], Clint Sleazy is a ruthless senator seeking to undermine the representative democratic government of America. |
| 150 | ---- |
| 151 | * ANaziByAnyOtherName: Once it's exposed that he's working directly with Klaus, an ''actual'' Nazi, he drops any pretense of fighting for free speech and justice in America, revealing he only cares about ruling the country with an iron fist. |
| 152 | * ArtisticLicensePolitics: He at one point refers to UsefulNotes/JoeBiden as a "leftist radical", when Biden is by all accounts a centrist Democrat. This parodies the American Far Right's exaggerated claims of Democratic presidents like Biden and Obama being Communists or otherwise far left. |
| 153 | * CorruptPolitician: He's TheDragon of the (in-universe incarnation of) the [=Qanon=] organization and, like his fellow Q followers and [=MAGAheads=], wants to overthrow the democratic government of America and replace it with a much more reactionary and authoritarian one. Satirically, at the end of the episode after his death, the FBI still tries to cover for him, since he was part of the ruling class and therefore is under their protection despite his efforts to dismantle American democracy. |
| 154 | * StrawHypocrite: He is revealed to not actually care about Qanon's goals of helping President Trump save America from pedophile cannibals, and is fully willing to jump in bed with literal Nazis in his lust for power. |
| 155 | * StrawmanPolitical: He outright lets slip that [[DemocracyIsBad he thinks Representative Democracy is the worst thing plaguing the country]], and is overall a satire of Far-Right American politicians. |
| 156 | * TakeThat: When his boss Klaus says that the reason he does anything is "To sow disorder, to maximize chaos, to wreath the Multiverse in unquenchable fire and rule over the ashes as High King of Outer Darkness," he immediately interjects that that statement is [[StrawmanPolitical perfectly in line with the modern Republican platform]]. |
| 157 | * YouHaveFailedMe: Falls victim to this at the hands of Klaus, who shoots him dead after he inadvertently causes the [=QAnon=] members to leave by revealing that they're working for the Nazis. |

| 166 | A phineas priest of the Aryan Nation for 20 years, a Knight of the UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan for 10, and (as of last friday) [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking an active member of the Screen Actor's Guild]]. Bill catches wise that Dick is an undercover cop and after catching him snooping engages in a prolonged battle of GoodOldFisticuffs with him. |
| 167 | ---- |
| 168 | * ANaziByAnyOtherName: Dick outright calls him out on this after he's revealed to be a part of the Aryan Nations, who are famous for using Nazi iconography like ''Hakenkreuz''es. |
| 169 | * ArtisticLicenseHistory: Parodied He claims that his hunter-gatherer forefathers ate hot dogs, which are perhaps the most famously overly machine-processed food in existence. |
| 170 | * BattleStrip: Bill removes his shirt before engaging in GoodOldFisticuffs with Dick. |
| 171 | * BeyondRedemption: It's worth nothing that the only member of Q Anon who ''doesn't'' abandon the movement upon learning it's under the control of an actual Nazi is the one who's part of a bunch of at least fascism-adjacent militia groups and is demonstrably violent on a personal level. Admittedly, because he's already dead, but it's still a strong contrast. |
| 172 | * TheBrute: Bill is a towering mountain of muscle who easily manhandles Dick and puts up more than a fight against him. He even had Dick on the ropes before [[BigDamnHeroes Alexis arrived just in time]]. |
| 173 | * DeepSouth: He speaks with a southern accent, and is ''extremely'' racist. |
| 174 | * DrivenToSuicide: He tells everyone at the table that he'd commit [[AteHisGun suicide via gun-in-the-mouth]] if he ever ate soy. When Alexis brings a vegan burger to his battle with Jett, and he consumes it to top up on meat, he finds out and calmly puts his money where his mouth is... no pun intended. |

| 180 | * KryptoniteFactor: He threatens to kill himself if he ever eats soy, accidentally or otherwise. [[ChekhovsGun Guess how he dies]]. |
| 181 | * ManlyMan: Parodied. Bill is insanely strong and powerful, but the only way he can retain his strength and affirm his masculinity is by [[BigEater constantly consuming red meat every 30 minutes]]. When Alexis tricks him into eating a soy burger, he commits suicide on the spot. |
| 182 | * OhCrap: He has this reaction after Alexis tells him the burger he just ate was Vegan. |
| 183 | -->'''Bill:''' ...Portabello Mushroom? |
| 184 | -->'''Alexis:''' [[KryptoniteFactor Soy]]. |
| 185 | -->[Bill has a VillainousBSOD] |
| 186 | * RealMenEatMeat: Exaggerated to a ludicrous degree. Bill constantly has to top up on meat to keep his masculine aura strong, and kills himself because he accidentally eats a soy burger. |
| 187 | * TokenCompetentMinion: He's the only one of the Qanon inner circle who is able to deduce that Dick is an undercover cop. |

| 192 | -> '''Played by:''' Trent Davis |
| 193 | A leader in the Incel community and Qanon's official representative for Website/FourChan. Squeaky is a shrill, easily-provoked member of Qanon who eventually defects after Q is revealed to be Klaus the Nazi. |
| 194 | ---- |
| 195 | * GodwinsLaw: He uses the phrase by name when it turns out the Q he's been working for is actually a living, breathing Nazi and not a heroic American freedom fighter working in secret from within the government. |
| 196 | * HeelFaceTurn: Alongside Tony Edgelord, he leaves [=QAnon=] after Clint Sleazy reveals that they're actually working for the Nazis. |
| 197 | * InternetJerk: This is his primary personality trait. He's quite small, scared and feeble in real life, but online he's a 4channer, troll and keyboard warrior. |

| 202 | -> '''Played By:''' Randy Walker |
| 203 | A standup comedian leading the brave war against [[PlayingTheVictimCard the woke mob trying to destroy comedy]]. He's a big sensation on [=BitChute=], where his videos have [[LowCountGag tens upon tens of views]]. He too abandons Qanon after Q is revealed to be Klaus. |
| 204 | ---- |
| 205 | * DudeNotFunny: Dick is visibly appalled at Tony's sense of humor, which includes randomly comparing him to a 12-year-old Jewish schoolgirl dying in UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust and just saying that Mexicans are midgets without elaborating. |
| 206 | * HeelFaceTurn: Alongside Squeaky [=McVirgin=], he leaves [=QAnon=] after Clint Sleazy reveals that they're actually working for the Nazis. |
| 207 | * SoUnfunnyItsFunny: Tony's comedy set is so juvenile, offensive and poorly-constructed that it loops back around into being hysterical satire. |
| 208 | * StrawCharacter: Tony is a satire of edgy standup comedians who say racist, sexist and otherwise bigoted statements without using the shock value from such statements to do any kind of comedic subversion, so they winds up just sounding like bigots and eventually start catering only to the part of their audience that finds racism and sexism with no deeper meaning funny inherently (I.E. the Far Right). He also lampoons these same comedians' tendencies to act like they're being persecuted for just making jokes, without ever stopping to consider that maybe people just don't find them funny |

| 215 | -> '''Played by:''' Trent Davis |
| 216 | Dick's old partner in the FBI. [[BlatantLies Straight as an arrow]]. He is gunned down by a mysterious assailant in front of the hotel Caroline Dubois was staying at. |
| 217 | ---- |
| 218 | * AmbiguouslyGay: He tells Dick that he looks cute today, has a rather flamboyant manner, and is [[NotDistractedByTheSexy completely immune to Miss Dubois' charms]]. It's never elaborated upon, but it's unclear whether he's CampGay or CampStraight. If Dick was comfortable working with him, it's likely that he at least thought he was the latter. |
| 219 | * {{Camp}}: To a ridiculous extent. He even dies wailing in a campy manner. |
| 220 | * StuffedIntoTheFridge: His death motivates Dick to probe Miss Dubois further, but otherwise doesn't seem to affect Dick too greatly. |
| 221 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: He has exactly one scene before being killed, which kicks off the greater plot of the episode. |

| 228 | ->'''Played by:''' Linnea Gregg |
| 229 | A mysterious woman who [[DameWithACase approaches Dick and Bing with a case]] concerning her sister, whom has become entangled with an unscrupulous character named Willy Chodeman. She is later revealed to be a part of the dizzying whirlwind of intrigue surrounding the [[{{MacGuffin}} Corsican Dildo]]. |
| 230 | ---- |
| 231 | *DameWithACase: Parodied. Caroline Dubois arrives in Dick and Bing's office with a case and is a FemmeFatale who is obviously wealthy due to all the "[[PrettyInMink dead, tortured animals]]" she's wearing. However, Dick and Bing are ''FBI agents'', not private investigators, so Dick immediately points out that [[ArtisticLicenseLaw civilians aren't allowed to just waltz in and proposition specific agents with cases]]. Once Miss Dubois points out that she's rich, however, Dick decides to hear her out |
| 232 | * FemmeFatale: A classic, FilmNoir type. Dick getting involved with her only leads him into more trouble. |
| 233 | * LiveMinkCoat: One of her outfits is made out of alligator skin, and has a still-alive alligator head stuck to it. Dick shoots it dead before making out with her. |
| 234 | * PrettyInMink: Parodied. Each time dick sees her, she is increasingly clad in heavier or more exotic animal fur. |

| 240 | ->''"You might say my profession is in Antiquities, but my true line of work is as [[AmbiguouslyGay ambiguous as my sexuality]]."'' |
| 241 | ->'''Played by:''' Philip Yiannopoulos |
| 242 | The right-hand man of Jimmy Two-Dicks, Thebes Karnak is an antiques specialist who disposes of Willy Chodeman and kidnaps Caroline Dubois at Two-Dicks' order, [[IShallTauntYou taunting Dick all the way]]. |
| 243 | ---- |
| 244 | * AmbiguouslyGay: He speaks with an...interesting accent, [[EroticEating likes to put the head of his cane in his mouth]], and outright claims that his sexuality is ambiguous. Becomes less ambiguous(at least in Dick's mind) when Dick discovers a ticket to a Creator/JudyGarland film festival in his wallet with the tagline "Bring your boyfriends!"[[note]]Garland was a noted LGBT ally in the '50s and '60s, to the point where gay men of the time used "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz Dorothy]]" as a [[TrustPassword code word for identifying each other]][[/note]]. He's also clearly based on Joel Cairo from ''Film/TheMalteseFalcon1941'', who was gay in the source material but was toned down to (very strong) subtext in the film itself. |
| 245 | * CaptainErsatz: Of [[Film/TheMalteseFalcon1941 Joel Cairo]]. They both serve the same role in the story, have very similar characterization and have Egyptian cities as last names. |

| 252 | ->'''Played by:''' Matthew Rigdon |
| 253 | The ArcVillain of Episode 3, Jimmy Two-Dicks is an unscrupulous criminal who is obsessed with obtaining the Corsican Dildo at any and all cost, and apprehends Caroline Dubois due to her connection with Willy Chodeman and her probable knowledge of the Dildo's location. Using her as leverage, he forces Dick to appear before him to rescue her. When the Dildo turns out to be a fake, he loses it. |
| 254 | ---- |
| 255 | * ExoticEquipment: He has two dicks. Rather large ones at that. |
| 256 | * GagPenis: Much of the humor surrounding his character involves his two eponymous, gigantic dicks. |
| 257 | * LargeHam: He's very outwardly shouty, especially compared to his underling Karnak. |
| 258 | * MeaningfulName: He's probably named Jimmy Two-Dicks because he has two [[GagPenis very large, very prominent penises that bulge outward from his tight-fitting pants]]. |
| 259 | * VillainousBreakdown: Upon inspecting the Dildo, he discovers it's a fake and that all he's worked for has been for naught. This causes him to start sobbing. |
