Eric
"The biggest difference between the left and right is like, empathy man."
- Domestic Abuse: Eric is this towards his girlfriend. In "average pro abortion man", he tells his girlfriend that he's entitled to have sex with her, even though he didn't want a child. He even calls her "small and vulnerable" for being pregnant and tells her to get an abortion. And at the end of the video, if you look closely, he snatches her wallet from the purse she's wearing.
- Holier Than Thou: He is this trope personified. Even though he is an atheist (as confirmed in one video), he was established to have a bloated sense of moral superiority and is disrespectful to anyone whose views don't align with his while also being blatantly hypocritical. And to top it all off, he wears a poorly-crafted angel costume complete with a sash that says "Better Than You".

- Jerkass: He is unfriendly towards anyone he disagrees with.
- Lack of Empathy: In "Left Wing Empathy™", Eric claims that left-wingers are way more empathetic than those on the right. Ironically, however, he callously mocks and yells at those whom he disagrees with and has absolutely no respect for the unborn, churches (in spite of their devotion to helping the poor), people suffering from high taxes and debt, and so on. In "Trump Catches COVID", when one character laments that his restaurant was forcibly shut down due to COVID, Eric responds by calling him "selfish".
- Straw Hypocrite: In "average pro abortion man", Eric whines about how everyone should care for one another while he just sits around like a lazy slob and is unwilling to get a job. Then when his girlfriend tells him she's pregnant, Eric immediately responds by telling her to get an abortion. After a long argument that followed, his girlfriend rightfully calls him out on his usual hypocrisy, to which Eric responds by admitting that he doesn't really care for altruism and only pretends to when he wants things like free healthcare or housing, and to avoid responsibility altogether.Girlfriend: So much for altruism and providing for the needs of others.Eric: Oh, I only say that when I want free stuff.
