Added DiffLines:

* HollywoodTourettes: Surprisingly downplayed, as Danny's potty mouth is said to have a number of factors behind it, Tourette's Syndrome only being one of them. He also displays other symptoms of the condition besides coprolalia, such as involuntary head movements (Hence his iconic neck brace). A good chunk of the series' humor is still derived from him swearing at inopportune moments, however.

* TheHyena: While most characters find Danny annoying at best, the cameraman is usually more amused than anything. His amusement has gotten him a DeathGlare from Danny on more than one occasion.
* IronButtmonkey: Tends to end up on the receiving end of Danny's more violent outbursts, be it intentionally or simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, having fallen down the stairs while being chased by him (and having a shoe thrown at him afterward), smacked with a broom, and knocked into a pile of empty beer cans by a box fan that Danny threw, to name a few occasions.

* OutOfCharacterMoment: The normally mischievous cameraman displays ''genuine fear'' while being chased by Danny's dad after dropping him while trying to help him off the floor, going so far as to run out to his car and drive away at top speed.

"Sus Moments" does not feature anything involving Danny's wife, nor him showing any Bi tendencies, so it's changed to Ambiguously Gay instead.

* {{Jerkass}}: So Danny, so much, crosses into this trope, as he often curses at others (though, given his defense of Total cereal to indicate he may have a 'cool book' and his angry nature, it may be that one has to bother him first, though he was after random people in an episode past his return) and even laughed when Shirlena was telling a sad story about her grandfather's Alzheimer's.
