* RamblingOldManMonologue: The viewer mail segment from the "Bill the Belching Gourmet" bit from ''Platypus Man'' consists of a single letter written in more or less this fashion. The letter writer starts by arguing about salad fork placement, has a sudden transition into asking if the Steelers will win the UsefulNotes/SuperBowl, then wonders what "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" is if it isn't butter.

* MortonsFork: He said that if a woman you're romantically involved with asks you "Do you like that waitress's tits?", there are 28 million possible answers to that question, and all of them are incorrect. If you say "no", you'll be accused of lying, and she'll get mad at you. If you say "yes", she'll think you want to cheat on her, and she'll get mad at you.

* TakeAThirdOption: Played for laughs. In ''A Big Steaming Pile of Me'', he called Republicans "a bunch of money-grubbing, greenhouse-gassing, seal-clubbing, oil-drilling, Bible-thumping, missile-firing, right-to-lifing, lethal-injecting hypocrites". He turned around and called Democrats "a bunch of bong-smoking, America-bashing, flag-burning, yoga-posing, incense-burning, dolphin-saving, salmon-eating hypocrites". So he figured that the solution is to be a centrist... who are "a bunch of flip-flopping, fence-sitting, half-in, half-out, half-assed, non-voting-so-they-can-bitch-no-matter-who-wins hypocrites".

* BoringReligiousService: He frequently made comedy routines about being bored at the Catholic services when he was a child, including the joke that Mass was actually short for "massive head trauma" from all the times his mother smacked him while trying to get him to behave or sit still while he goofed off during the sermon. In one bit he concludes with leaving only to find God standing outside, as God himself was so bored by the service he ran out of patience and had to get away from it.

** In ''A Big Steaming Pile of Me'', Richard goes on a date with his girlfriend, only for the waitress at the restaurant to have big boobs, causing his girlfriend to get mad at him and complain that he's not "acting like a man" when he refuses to look. Richard promptly gives the girlfriend a honest but harsh TheReasonYouSuckSpeech about how it's completely unfair for her to be mad at him, because the waitress having big boobs isn't his fault.

* TalkToTheFist: He explained the wonderful, theatrical ways in which New Yorkers lead up to a fist fight, with elaborate insults, accusations, and posture-striking. These cultural assumptions came back to bite him, though, the first time he picked a fight in the South: "Around there, when a guy punches you, ''that'' is your announcement the fight has begun."

* InsaneTrollLogic: He takes the idea of a syllogism (if the first two parts are true, the last part has to be true) and uses it to "prove" that Music/RayCharles is God, and that all women are actually aliens. The logic is that if men are going bald and they're from planet Earth, and women aren't losing any hair, then women have come from another planet. And when posing the hypothetical question of how women can talk about this without men knowing, it's because they meet in the WondrousLadiesRoom where men aren't allowed in.

* NoPeriodsPeriod: Averted with his "PMS and Red Wine" bit from ''A Big Steaming Pile of Me''.Me'', where his girlfriend is on her period when they go on a date. Richard is told to "act like a man", so he does by giving her a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech about how she's starting arguments for no reason and that the waitress at their restaurant having big boobs isn't his fault. His girlfriend naturally gets angry at this response, forcing Richard to give a groveling apology to get back in her good graces.



* SadClown: He struggled with depression before fatally shooting himself in March 2007.
* TakeAThirdOption: Played for laughs. In ''A Big Steaming Pile of Me'', he called Republicans "a bunch of money-grubbing, greenhouse-gassing, seal-clubbing, oil-drilling, Bible-thumping, missile-firing right-to-lifing, lethal-injecting hypocrites". He turned around and called Democrats "a bunch of bong-smoking, America-bashing, flag-burning, yoga-posing, incense-burning, dolphin-saving, salmon-eating hypocrites". So he figured that the solution is to be a centrist... who are "a bunch of flip-flopping, fence-sitting, half-in, half-out, half-assed, non-voting-so-they-can-bitch-no-matter-who-wins hypocrites".

Brooklyn give the sermon because "we'd all be out of there in five minutes" due to the guy giving a very foul-mouthed, very abridged version of the Bible.
