* SupportingProtagonist: In ''Beta House'', he's essentially the protagonist, although the story is told through Erik's experiences (such as in ''American Wedding'', where the story centered around Stifler, but was about Jim's wedding).

* {{Flanderization}}: Stifler's JerkJock antics are cranked UpToEleven in the third film to fit the character's greatly expanded screentime.
** He reverts back to the Stifler in the first two films in ''Reunion'', though.

\** Even Kara, who was around five during the events of the first film, tells Jim in ''Reunion'' that she saw it.

* CunningLinguist: Speaks Latin fluently, and mentions to turn on Selena in ''Reunion'' that he translated ''TheBrothersKaramazov'' into Latin for fun.

** "This one time, at band camp, I [[spoiler:stuck a flute in my pussy." Also doubles as a WhamLine, as Jim surely wasn't expecting this.]]

* LovableSexManiac: He's quite sex-obsessed, but still a very sympathetic character.

* CasanovaWannabe: He starts out as this in the first film; despite being more athletic and handsome than his friends, "Suck me, beautiful" wasn't exactly a good pick-up line.

* CasanovaWannabe: Initially. He stops when he finds out women aren't turned on by it.

** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: After some CharacterDevelopment he becomes this in ''American Wedding''.
*** Despite an apparent SequelReset in ''Reunion'', Stifler is squarely this at the end of that movie, as shown when he punches out Ron for Oz, accepts being the wedding planner for his lacrosse teammates' wedding, helps Sherman find a date, and accompanies the other guys to Dog Years. He'll always have that jokey Stifler nature, but has certainly matured since high school.

** In the third film, [[{{Squick}} the infamous chocolate truffle...]]

* LovableSexManiac

* NiceGuy
