The most important aspect is [[TalksLikeASimile thinking-in-metaphors]]. Creative metaphors and similes are the alpha and omega of a good Private-Eye Monologue, in stark contrast to the simplicity of the vocabulary. They demonstrate the relatively good education of the speaker without estranging him from the audience by sounding {{geek}}y. References to popular culture and politics are pure win. Mentioning the climate and the current weather, [[WeatherReportOpening usually in the beginning]], is often a must. Even more impressive are [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic religious (Judeo-Christian) symbolism]] and mythology, just don't overdo it. Repeating a metaphor or simile is a faux pas.

They demonstrate the relatively good education of the speaker without estranging him from the audience by sounding {{geek}}y. These characters also tend to accentuate their metaphors [[BurlyDetectiveSyndrome by addressing everything via descriptors instead of their names]], symbolizing their reluctance to connect with anyone or anything on a personal level.
