| 111 | %%* TheDitz |
| 112 | * ExtremeDoormat: Except when he jabs back at Floyd. |
| 113 | -->'''Floyd''': Then why doesn't [Earl Jr.] have himself committed? (In response to Earl claiming his son just wanted to follow in his footsteps) |
| 114 | -->'''Earl''': ... At least I ''have'' a son. |
| 115 | --> '''Floyd''': What's that supposed to mean? |

| 130 | |
| 131 | * AmbiguousDisorder: Between his severe mood swings, substance abuse, impulsive behavior, unstable relationships (abusive professional relationship with Earl, implied to have cheated on his wife as she has cheated on him), and ''extremely'' aggressive personality, Floyd displays many symptoms of borderline personality disorder. |
| 132 | * TheAlcoholic: Formerly, but Earl has a habit of bringing it up. Not helped by Floyd apparently falling off the wagon more than once; when the alien Zontar attempted to take over SCTV via mind-altering cabbages, Floyd was affected during a newscast, and Earl thought he was drinking again. |
| 133 | --> '''Floyd''': Negative. Zontar forbids strong drink. |

| 136 | * CloudCuckoolandersMinder: Not that he ''likes'' having this duty. |
| 137 | * CovertPervert: Really. Was busted ogling the half-nude stewardesses in a Dr. Tongue flick as Count Floyd, then demanded they go back to the film so he can keep staring. |

| 139 | * DepravedKidsShowHost: He becomes this in ''WesternAnimation/TheCompletelyMentalMisadventuresOfEdGrimley'' (and via [[StockFootage recycled footage]], the 1990s run of ''WesternAnimation/CartoonPlanet''). |

| 187 | * ADayInTheLimelight: ''SCTV Solid Gold Telethon'', which he hosts (alongside Bobby Bittman and Johnny [=LaRue=]). {{Subverted|Trope}} in ''Sammy Maudlin 23rd Anniversary Show'', however, where his titular anniversary special is broken into by CBC programming as a result of the janitorial union going on strike. |
| 188 | * AmbiguousDisorder: Repeats phrases and words multiple times, has a repetitive {{Character Tic|s}}, seems to laugh and/or applaud as a default response to things he isn't entirely sure how to react to, and doesn't really notice when something he says is rude or out of line. |
| 189 | * AmbiguouslyJewish: Wears his curly black hair in an afro (as many people of Jewish descent do) and sported a Star of David necklace in his first couple of appearances. |

| 192 | %%** Certainly seems like one. |
| 193 | %%** Also his sidekick William B. Williams. |
| 194 | * MeaningfulName: Not his first name (a diminuitive of Samuel), but his surname: "maudlin" is essentially a synonym for "overemotional." |
| 195 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Is based on Sammy Davis Jr. |
| 196 | %%* OlderThanTheyLook: First came on the air in 1959, if his 23rd Anniversary Special, aired in 1982, is to be believed. |

| 207 | A Las Vegas-style stand-up comic and frequent fixture on ''The Sammy Maudlin Show''; played by Creator/EugeneLevy. |
| 208 | |
| 209 | * AmbiguousDisorder: Preening, self-absorbed, grandiose, and incredibly arrogant, all symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder. A team of psychologists would have an absolute field day with this cast of characters. |
| 210 | * AmbiguouslyJewish: [[spoiler: His real name points to him being this.]] He argues with Skip Bittman in [[spoiler: Yiddish]] during the younger Bittman's first appearance.

| 216 | %%* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry |
| 217 | %%* GivenNameReveal |
| 218 | * HollywoodToneDeaf: ''Awful'' singer. Eugene Levy actually has a very lovely tenor when he sings any other time, which makes Bobby's horrible singing even funnier. |
| 219 | %%* IncomingHam: '''''HOW ARE YA?!''''' |
| 220 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Bobby is a preening and egomaniacal man with an inflated sense of self-importance, and becomes downright ''aggressive'' when he doesn't get his way. |
| 221 | * JerkassWoobie: Bobby is a cruel and vain person, but it's a little hard not to feel bad for him considering his whole career is built on "failing up." He isn't at the top because people genuinely like him or find him funny; he's there because people want to see what he'll screw up next. |
| 222 | %%* NobodyTouchesTheHair |
| 223 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Just like Maudlin and William B. First started hitting it big in 1959 after performing stand-up as a child in the 40s and early 50s, according to the post-''SCTV'' {{Mockumentary}} Creator/{{Cinemax}} aired about his life and career. |

| 338 | %%* ButtMonkey |
| 339 | * CharacterTics: Dabs sweat off his face with a handkerchief in almost all of his appearances. He is only actually visibly sweating in the very first sketch SCTV ever aired, probably due to Harold Ramis being audibly nervous in front of the camera, but Moe remained chronically sweaty well after Ramis became less camera shy. |
| 340 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Not a corporate executive per se, but certainly a higher-up and certainly corrupt. Among other incidents, he acted like there was a technical malfunction to agitate a game show contestant (who he also led to believe had a cheating spouse and made recount a tale of his time as a firefighter where his best friend ''melted to the ground in front of him''), deliberately called his own wife during a ''Dialing for Dollars'' segment after he left the answers to the questions with her to pocket the prize money, and tried to bribe a phone guy to not disconnect his phone. Guy Caballero describes him as a "sleazy weasel" at one point, and Earl and Floyd call him "slimy" after he's kidnapped. |
| 341 | %%* DeadpanSnarker |
| 342 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His full name, Maurice, is only shown or spoken a few times. 99% of the time, he's referred to solely as Moe. |
| 343 | * PutOnABus: He gets kidnapped by Leutonians in the 2nd season, never to be seen again. Judging from the picture of him holding a gun while his captors hold guns to his head and he talks in a nervous voice about how he's joined the revolution... |
| 344 | * TalkingDownTheSuicidal: Averted. In an episode of "Feedback" a suicidal man keeps calling in. The first time Moe tells him to call a suicide prevention hotline, but he keeps calling in. Eventually when he calls and tells Moe he's got his head in his oven, Moe tells him to take the plastic bag off his head [[SuicideAsComedy or the gas won't kill him.]] |
| 345 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The story arc of him getting kidnapped was suddenly dropped mid-season and we never heard from Moe Green again. This was mostly because Harold Ramis left the show, and the kidnapping arc was just a way to write him out. Viewers can probably infer that the Leutonians ended up [[BusCrash killing or otherwise getting rid of Moe, never to be seen again.]] |
| 346 | ** Partially explained. We never see or hear from Moe again because, according to him, he joined the Leutonian revolutionaries... but the real reason is revealed a bit by Earl and Floyd: ''nobody cared enough about him to pay his ransom.'' [[JerkassWoobie Poor Moe.]] |

| 355 | |
| 356 | !!! Ed Grimley |
| 357 | On ''SCTV'', he's a spastic, overly-optimistic ManChild actor often seen on the show's TV and movie parodies. On ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' and his own short-lived animated series, Ed is a normal(ish) person who's still spastic and overly-optimistic, but now encounters unusual characters and gets into MundaneMadeAwesome adventures. Played by Creator/MartinShort. |
| 358 | %%* BreakoutCharacter: had a cartoon series not long after |
| 359 | * IdiotHair: That slicked-up cowlick that looks like Alfalfa's from ''The Little Rascals'' |
| 360 | * ManChild: Not as much as Paul Reubens' Pee-Wee Herman character, but Grimley has the boundless energy and mannerisms of a child (at least in the ''SNL'' incarnation of Grimley). |
| 361 | %%* [[{{Spinoff}} Spinoff Cartoon]]: ''WesternAnimation/TheCompletelyMentalMisadventuresOfEdGrimley''. |
| 362 | * VerbalTic: He has a habit of saying "I must say" after every sentence, I must say. |

| 371 | * HatesBeingAlone: He has interrupted a program just to say "Hi" to everyone watching. |
| 372 | * MayorPain: The incompetent type, but is also corrupt, though he's more corrupt out of being [[TooDumbToLive too stupid to know any better]], as opposed to any inherent vice. |
| 373 | |
