- Awesome Music: His heel theme.
- Badass Decay: Went from a terrifying and vicious Monster Clown during his heel days to a goofy and bumbling comic relief as a face (complete with a midget sidekick).
- Ensemble Dark Horse: As a heel. WrestleCrap has often brought heel Doink up as one of the only redeeming gimmicks of the New Generation era.
- Memetic Mutation: "KILL THE CLOWN! KILL THE CLOWN! KILL THE CLOWN!"
- Nightmare Fuel: His entrance theme. You can't say it isn't just a little bit chilling.
- The Scrappy: Fan opinion differs on Doink's heel run, but his time as a face is pretty much agreed upon by everybody as the ultimate symbol of everything wrong with the WWF in the early '90s.
- They Changed It, Now It Sucks!/It's Popular, Now It Sucks!: Doink's face turn is pretty much the Ur-Example, Trope Namer and Trope Codifier all at the same time.
- X-Pac Heat: Evil Doink is seen to this day as superior to Good Doink.
