-->'''Fat Bastard:''' You know what my favorite Creator/HelenHunt movie is? ''Film/{{Twister}}''!



* WritersCannotDoMath: He's said to weigh a "metric ton". For reference, that would be around 2000 lbs. He may be big, but he doesn't look anywhere near ''that'' big.



* TheChewToy: She gets dropped by Austin when he first catches sight of Felicity, takes a knife in the back, is riddled with bullets, hit with a rocket, and used as a cushion for Austin's fall (and in a deleted scene, Austin keeps her in the back of Felicity's car, using her as a shield during another assassination attempt).

* CloudCuckoolander: Even compared to the likes of Dr. Evil and Austin, Goldmember is ''weird''. He peels flakes of skin off and either eats them or adds them to his collection, is prone to randomly quoting songs and movies and then muttering the creator as an aside, he likes to offer random combinations of breakfast and tobacco items to any guests he might be entertaining and loves disco dancing at random.

* DistractedByTheSexy: He can be on both the giving and receiving end of this trope, depending on the situation.



** {{Lust}}. AManIsAlwaysEager, and Austin is known and desired by women for being a SexGod. While this served him well in the Swinging 60's, free-love is seldom practiced in the 90's and Early-Aughties and Austin has a tougher time getting with it with some modern women like Vanessa. That said, he has been known to use his raw mojo to his advantage, having seduced Ivana Humpalot into confessing that she was sent by Dr. Evil to kill him. Not only that, but Austin is much more chivalrous than one would assume, unwilling to have sex with Vanessa when she was drunk and saving himself for Felicity until he gets his mojo back. He still has a habit of letting his attention get caught by attractive women, though.

* ParentalNeglect: He was absent for the most important momebts of Austin's life, and just in general. Austin even sings a song about it ("Daddy Wasn't There").



%%* BondGirl



* {{Irony}}: He himself lampshades the fact that he is a mole with a mole with on his face.



* EvenEvilHasStandards: Ironically. He has no qualms with taking over the world or just outright destroying it (at least until the ending of ''Austin Powers in Goldmember''), but when he meets Goldmember, the eponymous villain of the third movie, even he was disturbed by him and his actions ("How about 'No!,' you crazy Dutch bastard!"), though less because Goldmember was too evil and more because of his disgusting habits like eating his own skin flakes. He's also disturbed when Scott lets his EvilLaugh get away with him when he had Mr. Roboto eaten by laser sharks. He also really, ''really'' hates Scott constantly badgering him to [[NoNonsenseNemesis stop fooling around]] [[StatingTheSimpleSolution and just blow Austin Powers away]], [[spoiler:which, on top of his love for show-offy evil, makes more sense when he and Austin both are revealed to be brothers in the third film]]. [[EvenNerdsHaveStandards He also finds Scott's]] silly way of running as too silly for his tastes in the third film and flatly says that Scott didn't got ''that'' from him.

** In the second movie, he puts a stop to Fat Bastard's mocking of Austin over the former sleeping with Felicity fairly quickly.
-->'''Dr. Evil:''' As much as I like seeing Powers in agony - and I do - the thought of you naked is just gross.



* GroinAttack:
** Felicity kicks him in the crotch when he tries to shoot her and Austin, claiming she did it because he said she was crap in bed. He groans and refers to that area as the "mommy-daddy button".
** In ''Goldmember'' during his entrance as a Sumo wrestler, he complains that the "diaper" makes his nuts rub together. During his match he inflicts this on his opponent with a squeeze.



* KickTheDog: After his sleeping with Felicity is revealed to Austin, he claims that Felicity was "crap", and taunts the heartbroken Austin with a mocking "Boo-hoo".

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Like James Bond, he may be a self-absorbed manchild that's obsessed with sex but he's shown to have a good heart and care about the women he goes out with. He genuinely cares about freedom and says that the nineties are even groovier than the eighties because they combine freedom with personal responsibility.
