16	----
17	* ApatheticTeacher: He collects field trip money from students to fund his Vegas excursion and flat out refuses to answer one of his student's question after the dismissal bell rings.
18	* CharacterDevelopment: A subtle example in the first film. In the beginning, he's frustrated with being married and a father and longs for the carefree life of a bachelor he hopes to replicate during the bachelor party. After going through all of the crazy events that transpire, he comes to appreciate the stability and calmness of his family life and happily reunites with his wife and son at the wedding.
19	* TheChewToy: Phil is tased ([[GroinAttack in the crotch, no less]]!), clawed by the tiger, repeatedly hit in the back by Chow with a crowbar (and has Chow's crotch in his face) before being cracked across the face, is sitting on the side of the car which gets t-boned, and [[NoodleIncident we never do find out how he ended up in the hospital.]] In ''Part II'', he even gets shot in the arm.
20	* DeadpanSnarker: The snarkiest in the group.
21	* {{Determinator}}: In the first film. He doesn't give up on finding Doug until the deal with Chow goes awry.
22	* EveryoneHasStandards: He does not approve of Melissa's abuse of Stu. Or of torching cop cars.
23	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Choleric, being always angry at the chaos.
24	* GoodIsNotNice: In the first film he's abrasive in a very frat-boy sort of way and doesn't appear to have any qualms about cheating on his wife, although he gets better by the end, kind of.
25	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Of the JerkWithAHeartOfGold variety.
26	* HappilyMarried: To Stephanie.
27	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: For all his talk, Phil's scenes at the end with his wife and son pretty much negate his earlier impression of hating his life. Although he got pretty messed up during the trip, he stated clearly that he wasn't willing to jeopardize his family. He also watches out for his friends, such as when he encouraged Stu to dump [[DomesticAbuse Melissa.]]
28	* TheLeader: Of the Wolfpack.
29	* LovableRogue: Despite his troublesome behavior, he's charming enough to qualify. Being kind of a HandsomeLech helps too.
30	* MrFanservice: The only one of the group apparently. In the first film, one of the cops calls him "pretty boy".
31	* OnlySaneMan: Surprisingly, he's the most rational of the group while they're trying to piece the night together. Additionally, he's the only one who flat out tells Stu how toxic Melissa's abuse of him is and that he should not propose to her.
32	* PetTheDog: Phil's relationship with Alan.
33	* SirSwearsALot: Regularly drops the ClusterFBomb. In the third movie, it becomes pretty much his only defining trait.
34	--> I fuckin' hate my life, I may never go back. I might just stay in Vegas.
35	--> No Shit that was Mike Tyson.
36	--> We are back. We are fucking back!!

45	----
46	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sweet guy he may be, it is easy to watch out when pressing his buttons. For example, he attacked [[FatBastard Alan]] in the second film upon learning that [[spoiler:he spiked the gang with drugs, this time with malicious intent.]]
47	-->"BECAUSE I LIKE MARSHMALLOWS, YOU FUCKING PSYCHO!"
48	* BlackComedyRape: [[spoiler:In the second movie, it is indicated that he got raped and sodomized by a transsexual stripper.]]
49	* ButtMonkey: Especially in ''Part II''.
50	* TheChewToy: In the first film, his girlfriend controls his life with an iron fist and he not only lacks the guts to stand up for himself (until the end), but actually makes excuses for her abusing and cheating on him. In the second film, his disapproving father-in-law emasculates him in a similar fashion. In the same film, [[spoiler:he even [[BlackComedyRape gets sodomized]] by a transsexual.]] And to top it all off, Alan's stupidity results in Stu being put through hell in both films and nearly having his marriage destroyed in the second, before it even gets off the ground.
51	* DeadpanSnarker: While not exactly on Phil's levels, he is often prone to react to their situations with [[SarcasmMode sarcasm]].
52	* TheEeyore: Sometimes, but considering his ButtMonkey status it's justified.
53	* ExtremeDoormat: Stu actually makes excuses for Melissa abusing and cheating on him until the end of the first film.
54	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Melancholic, given he's always complaining about what the terrible incidents.
55	* HappilyMarried: By the end of the second movie.
56	* HenpeckedHusband: Well, boyfriend, to Melissa in the first film. Thankfully, he ends the relationship before truly graduating to Henpecked Husband.
57	* InsistentTerminology:
58	** He would like you to know that his girlfriend cheated on him with a ''bartender'', not a sailor or a bellhop, thank you very much.
59	** He would also like you to know that a dentist ''really is'' a medical doctor.
60	* LargeHam: When he's under the influence or angry.
61	* NiceGuy: Next to Doug, he is the friendliest and most well-around guy of the group.
62	* NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: At the end of the first film, Stu decides that he's finally had enough of his controlling, cheating girlfriend Melissa and berates her in front of an entire wedding party before dumping her.
63	* NotThatKindOfDoctor: A running gag is on he gets no respect for being a dentist but still calling himself "Doctor".
64	* OhCrap: While all the characters have these moments, Stu reacts to them the most hysterically.
65	* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: When he freaks out, in all three movies.
66	* StraightMan: And true to such a wacky comedy, the one that suffers the most.
67	* TheToothHurts: Spends the entirety of the first film with his left canine tooth missing. [[spoiler:Turns out he did this ''to himself'' on a dare, as Jade explains to him.]]

76	----
77	* AbusiveOffspring: He becomes this to his mother in the sequels, treating her with disdain, being demanding towards her, and even insulting her on several occasions. In the third film, he outright says that [[YouShouldHaveDiedInstead he wished she died instead of his father]].
78	* AllTakeAndNoGive: His relationship with his parents in the sequels, as he has them do everything for him (like serving him meals) while he does nothing to contribute himself. His father calls him out on this in ''Part III''.
79	* BasementDweller: Despite being in his forties, he continues to live with his parents.
80	* BoisterousBruiser: Large and full of himself.
81	* ChaoticStupid: Does things for [[ItAmusedMe the amusement of himself and the others]] that ultimately cause a lot of harm.
82	* CharacterDevelopment: He receives a lot in ''Part III'' [[spoiler:after his dad dies; he talks to Jade's son and realizes that he has been a bad son all along. He also meets a woman that's compatible with him and marries her by the end of the film, indicating that he is no longer a {{Manchild}}. Or at least not as much anymore.]]
83	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He is considerably less sympathetic in the sequels than in the first film, where he was mostly mild-mannered, albeit socially inept and irresponsible.
84	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The absolute king of this trope.
85	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: There are several scenes in the trilogy that indicates he is far more badass than he lets on.
86	* ComedicSociopath: Particularly in the second film when he [[spoiler:[[KickTheDog drugs another character with malice aforethought]] (and said character [[{{Fingore}} loses a finger]] under the influence)]].
87	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: He has a tendency to do this, oftentimes not realizing the seriousness of the situations they're put in, such as when Phil uses his phone to track his phone and van to see where Chow went. When Stu tries to say something about it, Alan makes it a point that losing a phone is SeriousBusiness, because he has over 60 apps on his phone, and that it would take a lot of time to put them all back in if he lost it.
88	* EasilyForgiven: After Stu and Phil learn that he [[spoiler:drugged them ''again'']] in ''Part II'', they briefly disown him before taking it back a minute later.
89	* FatIdiot: Definitely, and sometimes bordering on FatBastard as well.
90	* {{Flanderization}}: It's like they ramped up his random bouts of silly insanity to actual dangerous insanity in the second movie, then did it ''again'' in the third movie.
91	* TheFool: To the point his actions always screw everyone.
92	* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Foolish to Tracy's Responsible. He continues to mooch off his parents well into his forties, while Tracy is shown to adjust well with her marriage to Doug.
93	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Sanguine, as he's always calm despite the manic nature of his thoughts.
94	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: He is immature and screws things up. His group membership is based on being the bride-to-be's brother.
95	* GeniusDitz: Flaws aside, he is a master card counter.
96	* GoshDarnItToHeck: He almost never cusses.
97	--> '''Phil''': GOD DAMN IT!\
98	'''Alan''': GOSH DARN IT!\
99	'''Phil''': SHIT!\
100	'''Alan''': SHOOT!
101	** "Oh my word!"
102	* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler:In the third film, he finally meets a woman as quirky and batshit insane as he is.]]
103	* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He outright says [[spoiler: "The drug dealer who gave me roofies seemed like a real straight shooter!"]] in the first film and insists on remaining friends with Chow. In the third film, [[spoiler:it takes being dragged into Chow's escapades, getting Doug taken hostage, and his ''outright murdering three people in front of him'' for Alan to finally realize Chow's not a nice guy.]]
104	* HypocriticalHumor: In the third film, he constantly criticizes Stu for being "useless" when ''he himself'' is the one who's often guilty of it.
105	-->'''Alan:''' We've been on a lot of adventures together but it seems like you haven't learned anything. Anything!
106	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Very much so. At some point he even starts singing "We're the three best friends that anyone could have!"
107	* InsultBackfire: Alan is literally too stupid to insult.
108	* IrrationalHatred: He is shown to have a distaste for his own mother (to the point where he says [[YouShouldHaveDiedInstead she should have died first]]) with zero explanation. His hatred towards Teddy is also petty since Teddy did nothing to wrong him.
109	* InsufferableImbecile: He becomes this over time. In the first film, he was fairly well-meaning, albeit childish and irresponsible, but he eventually becomes more abrasive, condescending, and destructive.
110	* ItsAllAboutMe: He has this attitude from time to time, especially in the sequels. [[spoiler:He does grow out it in the end of the third film.]]
111	* JerkassRealization: In the third film, [[spoiler:when he meets up with Jade's son Tyler, he begins to realize how selfish and reckless he was being to everyone, especially when he recalls that his father died as a result of his antics. This motivates him to mature for the better by living his own life with Cassie.]]
112	-->'''Alan:''' [[spoiler:My dad was nice too. We did everything together. He was my life partner, heh. I really let him down]]
113	* JerkassToOne: He's on good terms with most people, but he shows a side of bitterness towards his mother, Teddy, and (at least in the third film) Stu.
114	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Whether he means to be or not, he's a self-absorbed dick half of the time, although he is capable of being a decent guy.
115	* KarmaHoudini: He is responsible for almost all of the events of the trilogy, like the being drugged (twice) and most of the events of Hangover III. He gets little to no comeuppance for any of it. Of course, by the end of the third film, [[spoiler:he finally turns his life around, having been convinced by what had just transpired over the past few days]].
116	* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: For everything he got away with in the first two films, he is committed to an insane asylum in the third. While he doesn't make it there, a bunch of traumatic events along the way are enough to make him see the error of his ways.
117	* KickTheDog:
118	** In ''Part II'', [[spoiler:he ''knowingly'' uses drugs to incapacitate Teddy, a teenager, out of pure spite. Both Phil and Stu call him out on this, with the latter rightfully ''raging'' at him]].
119	** In ''Part III'', during his father's funeral, he openly states that [[YouShouldHaveDiedInstead he prefers his mom to have died instead]] ''right in her vicinity''.
120	* LargeHam: Even more than Stu.
121	* LethallyStupid: Due to his dangerous insanity, he is responsible for the events of both movies, but it is worse in the second since he uses the drugs again, not learning from his past misadventures. One example of many is when he plays around with an Uzi in a Bangkok strip club and accidentally unloads half the clip into the ceiling, thankfully not harming anyone.
122	* MadeOfIron: Throughout the trilogy, Alan gets knocked out by a bare-knuckled Mike Tyson, hit in the forehead with a stun gun (and keeps going), gets a crowbar thrown at his head, and has his head slammed repeatedly in a car door. None of these injuries stop him for very long.
123	* {{Manchild}}:
124	** While Alan is meek around adults, he doesn't have any problem picking fights with children, which we ''hope'' is the reason he's not allowed near schools. He's also a Music/JonasBrothers fan.
125	---> '''Stu:''' Don't let the beard fool you, he's a child.
126	** ''Part II'' has a {{Flashback}} sequence from Alan's perspective -- it turns out that he sees himself, Doug, Phil, Stu, and Chow (and only those 5) as children.
127	* ManlyFacialHair: Alan's got a fine beard.
128	** In ''Part II'', note that Alan has posters of "Macho Man" Wrestling/RandySavage and Wrestling/HillbillyJim on the wall among his [[SceneryPorn intensely decorated room]].
129	** When told in ''Part II'' that he has no hair after it was shaved off the night before, his first instinct is to reach for his beard rather than his bald head.
130	* TheMillstone: He at least indirectly causes nearly every single bad thing that happens to the Wolfpack.
131	* MoralityPet: To Chow. Of course, his so-called friendship with Chow is the only reason the Wolfpack get in trouble in the second and especially the third movie, but hadn't Chow liked him, he would probably have refused to cooperate with them and may even have killed them.
132	* NoodleIncident: What he did that caused him to be banned from Chuck E. Cheeses. According to his actor, this was because he was playing with children there, which understandably brought the suspicion of parents.
133	* PsychopathicManChild: Considering his questionable actions, especially in the sequels.
134	* SelfServingMemory: His father's last words before his fatal heart attack are to berate Alan as a complete waste and ready to cut him off. At the funeral, Alan clearly believes his dad's last words were "I love you, son. Never change."
135	* SkewedPriorities: Alan frequently has these, whether it's being offended by Stu using foul language, being forced at gunpoint to give up a monkey, or thinking the worst thing about 9/11 is the fact that he can no longer masturbate on an airplane because of it.
136	* SpoiledBrat: Starting with the second movie, he pretty much treats his parents like servants.
137	* TookALevelInJerkass: In the sequels. He goes from a lovable idiot whose screw ups ultimately came from good intentions in the first film to a self-absorbed, LethallyStupid SpoiledBrat. [[spoiler:The third film reverses this by having Alan give up his careless and immature ways after having a talk with Jade's son.]]
138	* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: At his worst, he can be quite a selfish, reckless prick whose actions ruin things for the group.
139	* WouldHurtAChild: Subverted when he claims that he cannot be 200 feet near a school, as it's confirmed that he never harmed any children and was just innocently playing with them, which looked suspicious to parents. Played straight in the second film, where he has zero issue drugging 16-year-old Teddy out of hatred.
140	* YouSayTomato: Alan pronounces "ree-tard" as "rhe-taard". And in ''Part II'' he pronounces "Thailand" as "Thigh-land". ''Part III'' has him pronouncing "pornography" as "porno-''graph''-y"

150	* DistressedDude: In the first [[spoiler:and third]] film.
151	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Phlegmatic, and is so serious he's mostly left out of the picture.
152	* FlatCharacter: He never gets much characterization other than the "fourth member" of the Pack.
153	* TheGenericGuy: To the point the plot always ditches him to turn it into a ComicTrio.
154	* HappilyMarried: By the end of the first movie.
155	* MadeOfIron: Survives for the best part of two days at the top of a tall building without food, water or shade and the worst thing he has is a nasty sunburn (and he suffers no ill effects from that).
156	* NiceGuy: The most level-headed, mild-mannered one in the group.

169	* AffablyEvil: In spite of his insanity, he seems genuinely fond of the Wolfpack, Alan in particular, always seen enjoying their company.

171	* AxCrazy: Is more than willing to wreck stuff andor people.
172	%%* {{Badass Driver}}: As demonstrated in the 2nd movie.

175	* BigBadEnsemble: [[spoiler: With Marshall in the third movie.]]
176	* BreakoutVillain: Originally just a side villain in the first movie, his role gets expanded in each movie due to his popularity.

178	* CatchPhrase:
179	** "Toodoloo, motherfuckaa-aaa-aas!"
180	** "(insert phrase), gayboys!"
181	* CardCarryingVillain: In the third film, he rather nonchalantly says that he was "born bad."
182	* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: At times he seems to be friends with the Wolfpack. At others, he's clearly the bad guy, especially when it [[ItsAllAboutMe benefits him alone.]]
183	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: In a drug-fueled AxCrazy sort of way.
184	* DepravedBisexual: In the first movie he acts CampGay, and in the third movie Chow hits on Stu and Phil, but in the second movie Chow says he's had a wife for fifteen years. In the third film it's also mentioned that he contacted an escort service to have both men and women sent to his hotel room.
185	%%* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Happens three times.]]
186	* EvilAllAlong: He always seems to [[FaceHeelRevolvingDoor help the protagonists at times]], but is always thinking about himself.
187	* FullFrontalAssault: In the first two films. [[spoiler:TheStinger for the third has him naked but without aggression.]]
188	* TheHeavy: [[spoiler: His actions drives the plot in the third movie, even if they are against Marshall.]]
189	* HookersAndBlow: Chow's room in the third film. In his words, "I FUCKING LOVE COCAINE!!!"
190	* ItsAllAboutMe: He will help the Wolfpack only if he benefits in it some way. Otherwise he either works against them, or actively tries to sabotage their efforts.
191	* KarmaHoudini: In ''Part III'', [[spoiler:Chow literally gets away with stealing $42 million and three counts of murder, and worms his way back into the Wolfpack's life after Alan told Chow he didn't want to be friends anymore.]]
192	%%* LargeHam: The biggest of the movie.
193	* LastNameBasis: He's better known as Mr. Chow or only Chow.
194	* LaughablyEvil: Clearly supposed to be a comedic villainous character.
195	* LovableRogue: Enters this at times, except when being overtly antagonistic andor obnoxious.
196	* ManipulativeBastard: Always tricks the Wolfpack into doing his bidding.
197	* NakedOnArrival: How we first see Chow in the first two movies. [[spoiler: And inverted with TheStinger for the third.]]
198	* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Given a rare one in the third film where he doesn't kill the Wolfpack because Alan opened the trunk in the limo and gave him his gun, allowing him a "fighting chance" to survive. He even gives Alan a bar of gold, but the latter refuses it.]]
199	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Calls Samir a Camel Jockey when he learns that he sold him out to Interpol. Samir even calls Chow a racist asshole. He also insinuates that Stu is a GreedyJew in the third film, despite Stu not being Jewish.
200	* PsychopathicManChild: He acts like an immature little kid when gloating or insulting others.
201	* {{Sadist}}: He seems to take joy in other peoples misfortunes. When Alan says that they can't hang out anymore because people tend to get hurt, Chow says that the fact people get hurt is what makes it funny.
202	* SirSwearsALot: With a particular love for the term "motherfucker".
203	* TeenyWeenie: In ''Part II'', the protagonists wonder what something looking to be the size of a pinkie finger, popping out of a blanket, is, concluding: "It must be a mushroom!"... then it's revealed to be attached to Chow at the crotch. Maybe the craziness of his character is just his CompensatingForSomething...
204	* TokenEvilTeammate: Though whether or not he can be considered a "teammate" varies between films.

215	----
216	* AnywhereButTheirLips: One of the many clues that she's not right for Stu is that she doesn't let him kiss her on the lips.
217	* ControlFreak: She checks Stu's credit card statements, beats him if he protests her abusive treatment, and calls to check on his location frequently.
218	* CountryMatters: Phil calls her this in the second movie, not that anyone can blame him.
219	* DomesticAbuse:
220	--> '''Phil''': You know she beats him, right?\
221	'''Stu''': Hey, ''that was...twice!'' [[NotHelpingYourCase And I was out of line]].
222	* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Averted. While it's played for laughs, said laughs move closer to CringeComedy and the rest of the Wolfpack don't think it's a healthy part of the relationship at all.
223	* FourEyesZeroSoul: She often wears glasses and is perfectly willing to cheat on Stu.
224	* HateSink: She is the most dislikable character in the entire film. She's cruel to Stu by being unaffectionate, cheating on him, beating him, and controlling his life. It is nothing short of satisfaction when Stu gets fed up with her cruelty and breaks up with her for good.
225	* {{Hypocrite}}: She controls Stu's social life, but thinks it's okay to cheat on him with a bartender (remember, bartender!) on a cruise ship.
226	* {{Jerkass}}: To the point the rest of the Wolfpack doesn't like her, and Stu eventually does so as well.
227	* UngratefulBitch: Responds to Stu's affection by routinely mistreating him. No wonder she's dumped.
228	* VillainousBreakdown: Has one when Stu breaks up with her at the end of the film.

256	* FlatCharacter: Teddy shares the same purpose that Doug did in the original, except Doug was at least given some sort of personality.

266	* AdamWesting: To the point that in the sequel, before the photo montage he says that "[[TheTysonZone I'm Mike Tyson, it's hard to surprise me]]."
267	* AMFMCharacterization: He is introduced in the first movie by listening to "In The Air Tonight" by Music/PhilCollins and lures the Wolfpack into a false sense of security by tricking them into singing along with him. When they hit the chorus, Tyson knocks out Alan with a single punch. Interestingly, the song is a parallel to Tyson and the character in the song. The song is about man feeling enraged towards someone and it finally boils over in the chorus. In the movie, Tyson is angry but keeps it under the surface until he finally lashes out in the chorus.
268	* AsHimself: With many references to his life as well (punching, tigers).
269	* BoisterousBruiser: Clearly enjoying himself -- and at times, the havok caused by the Wolfpack.
270	* FedToPigs: Considers feeding the Wolfpack to his pet Tiger, and it's not entirely clear whether or not he's joking. Apparently, he did the same to [[NoodleIncident Omar.]]
271	-->'''Stu:''' Who's Omar?
272	-->'''Tyson:''' Oh, don't worry about him, [[ImpliedDeathThreat he's not with us no more.]]
273	* MegatonPunch: Of course. Alan points out Tyson's strength is still the same.
274	* RealMenWearPink: Introduced singing (and air drumming to) Music/PhilCollins.
275	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Only an authority figure in the sense that he can beat the crap out of the Wolfpack if they annoy him. That said, he appears to harbor them no ill will after they return his tiger, and even helps them find more clues in locating Doug.
276	* ScaryBlackMan: He's ''Mike Tyson'', so of course he qualifies.
277	* TysonZone: References it by saying that he's ''very'' hard to surprise.

286	----
287	* TheDragon: To Marshall.
288	* EmbarrassingNickname: He really doesn't like being called Black Doug.
289	* FauxAffablyEvil: He's a drug dealer, but other than being irritated about being called 'Black' Doug he actually seems a reasonably decent guy in the first movie. In the third, [[spoiler: he could clearly care less when it looks like the Wolfpack are going to be killed on Marshall's orders. The fact that he was Marshall's chief of security also implies he was involved in much more sinister business than his original appearance suggested.]]
290	* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:In the third film.]]
291	* LaughablyEvil: His boss Marshall even calls him a [[StupidEvil moron]] in-universe in the third film.
292	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: [[spoiler: The third film reveals he may not be just a ButtMonkey of a drug dealer in the first film when it's revealed he's Marshall's head of security...]]
293	* PetTheDog: He's genuinely apologetic when he learns he accidentally gave Alan a bag of roofies instead of the ecstasy he purchased.
294	* ScaryBlackMan: [[spoiler: He's more or less a wannabe when he reveals himself to be TheDragon for Marshall upon kidnapping the Wolfpack and threatening them at gunpoint, but is too much of an incompetent (even in the eyes of his boss) to be this.]]
295	* SinisterShades: He wears shades in the third film to show he means business and is never seen without them [[spoiler:up until his death.]]
296	* TemptingFate: [[spoiler:His last words inadvertently prompts Marshall to kill him as punishment for allowing Chow to break in]].
297	-->'''Black Doug:''' Somebody's gotta pay…
298	* TragicMistake: Everything happens because he sold roofies instead of ecstasy to Alan.
299	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The events of the first film, and pretty much every film after, only happen because he accidentally gave Alan a bag of roofies instead of the ecstasy he purchased. [[spoiler:This one mistake ultimately results in his death.]]
300	* YouHaveFailedMe: After Chow [[spoiler:tricks the Wolfpack into breaking into Marshall's house and stealing the other half of the gold]], Black Doug points out that someone has to pay for their mistake. Marshall agrees, then casually [[spoiler:shoots him dead]].
301	-->[[spoiler:'''Marshall:''' My head of security. Couldn't stop three fuckups and a Chinaman with a pair of wirecutters. Unreal.]]

310	----
311	* AffablyEvil: Marshall is vicious and murderous but it's so that he proves a point and not because he finds pleasure in it. When he sees that Alan wet himself after seeing Black Doug killed, he tells Alan not to be embarrassed and provides a pair of sweatpants.
312	%%* BigBadEnsemble: With [[spoiler: Chow in the third film.]]
313	%%* BlofeldPloy: [[spoiler:With Black Doug.]]
314	* ChekhovsGunman: Black Doug mentions him in the first movie, and he appears in the third.
315	* TheComicallySerious: In a comedy film trilogy this is expected, even though he is still a serious threat:
316	--> '''Marshall''': He fucked me in the ass!\
317	'''Alan''': He does that from time to time.\
318	'''Marshall''': ...Not literally.
319	* TheDon: Leads a criminal organization in Vegas.
320	* EvenEvilHasStandards: While he's angry at Chow for having stolen his gold, he may not like Chow as a person in general. In one scene he says that "Leslie Chow is madness" and that the world is a better place without him.
321	* EvilSoundsDeep: No wonder, since he's played by Creator/JohnGoodman. But unlike most of his roles, this is genuine unnerving.
322	* EvilVersusEvil: He goes after the Wolfpack so they can help him against Chow.
323	%%* GreaterScopeVillain
324	* KnightOfCerebus: The overtly serious and dangerous nature of the third movie owes to his threat.
325	* LargeAndInCharge: He's a mobster played by John Goodman, after all.
326	* NobleDemon: He's ruthless, brutal and homicidal, but if you do what he orders you to do he will let you go unharmed and you'll never see him again.
327	* PetTheDog: He provided Alan with new sweatpants when he wets himself in reaction to the death of Black Doug and gave the Wolfpack his limo after Phil's minivan was stolen by Chow (though the latter could be of means of PragmaticVillainy as auto transportation is currently the only way to find Chow at the time, so not offering any transport would be less of desirable option).
328	** He was also willing to spare Doug if the Wolfpack do what he says. When they finally bring him his gold and Chow to him ([[spoiler: or so they think]]), he lets Doug go saying that "a deal is a deal".
329	** He doesn't hold it against the Wolfpack when he finds out Chow already blew half of the gold.

338	----
339	* BabiesEverAfter: She is pregnant in the second movie.
340	* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: A mild example since we know little about Tracy, but it's suggested she is the Responsible to Alan's Foolish.
341	* NiceGirl: She's very polite and reacts better to weird happenings than most of the others.
342	* SiblingYinYang: It can be hard to believe that she's Alan's sister, given their drastically different temperaments, hygiene, and manners.
343	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Tracy only has a few scenes per movie, but her wedding to Doug is responsible for the first film's bachelor party and the main characters meeting each other.
