6 | ** Bob's coat of choice is a shorter garment, such as a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pea_coat pea coat]]. |

17 | * '''Parodied''': |
18 | ** Bob always speaks in a gravelly voice, he's covered in tattoos, and he always has five o'clock shadow. A kid tries to steal his trenchcoat, believing that it will make him a badass as well. |
19 | ** The perpetual argument of longsleeves vs no sleeves, with people KILLING EACH OTHER just to prove their idiotic point. |
20 | * '''Zig-Zagged''': Bob has a rotating wardrobe, and he only wears a trenchcoat from time to time. |

22 | * '''Enforced''': Bob wears a trenchcoat because his action figure will sell better than his normal outfit. |

26 | * '''Defied''': Bob is a normal, well-adjusted guy who wears a trenchcoat because he thinks it looks good on him. When people assume that he's a "bad boy", he just rolls his eyes. |
27 | * '''Discussed''': "Who does Bob think he is? Idiot...it's a coat, not an 'Instant Badass' recipe." |
28 | * '''Conversed''': "Man, I wish I had a coat like that...nobody would fuck with me." |
29 | * '''Deconstructed''': |
30 | ** Bob is a traumatized war veteran with a criminal past. He wears a trenchcoat to hide his scars. |
31 | ** Bob's coat may look cool, but it may also be slightly cumbersome, get caught on anything sharp that sticks out (or [[Franchise/TheIncredibles get sucked into a jet turbine]]), and if nothing else it may make the wearer feel too warm if worn in a hot environment. |
32 | * '''Reconstructed''': |
33 | ** Bob is a brave, good-hearted detective. He admits that he wears a trenchcoat because it gives him confidence. |
34 | ** Bob gets a coat that is lighter and tears easily, thus keeping his image badass and dealing with some of the practicality issues. |
35 | * '''Played For Laughs''': Whenever Bob puts on his trenchcoat, "Bad to the Bone" starts playing in the background, and everybody stops what they're doing and just stares. (Mainly because of the riff) |
