No trope slashing. Overprotective Dad has been disambiguated anyway.


* OverprotectiveDad / TwerpSweating: "Boy, look at me. You see that little girl right there? She's my only little girl, man. She's my life. So if you have any thoughts about hugging, or kissing, you remember these words: I got no problem goin' ''back'' to prison." Cue creepy smile.

William Ray Engvall Jr. (born July 27, 1957) is a stand-up comedian and actor from the state of Texas. He is best known for his "Here's Your Sign" jokes, in which he states that [[AskAStupidQuestion people who ask stupid questions should be given signs that say "I'm Stupid"]] so you won't rely on them. Of course, he has a snappy rejoinder to the stupid questions asked of him.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Invoked in at least one Canadian performance of his act regarding being called for jury duty, where he's asked his profession.[[note]]TruthInTelevision for many comedians, as broadcasts of performances from Montreal's Just For Laughs festival can give comedians a higher profile than they might have back home in the early stages of their careers.[[/note]]

** In his book ''Just a Guy'', he explains that his lifelong fear of them comes from a terrifying encounter with a couple of large green snakes -- which hissed and lunged at him, prompting him to flee for his life -- in his yard when he was a kid.

* ThreateningShark: Used in at least two jokes. Once when going para-sailing while drunk, aka Vicodenland, the rope jerks enough to snap him out of his drunken stupor and realize the cute little fishies in the lagoon below him are the sharks...and he is not going to land on the platform but in the water with them. The second time his wife drags him along on a trip to Costa Rica and arranges for them to go on a shark feeding frenzy. Bill is less than pleased.

** His "Hollywood Indian Guide" sketch has him going wide-eyed and making a very nervous sound upon being told that they'll be camping in an area where snakes are known to reside -- including the pink rattlesnake, which is just as poisonous as the diamondback.
