* KavorkaMan: Although he doesn't actually get any girls... [[AttractivenessIsolation because they all think he is way out of their league]].

The other women all think she doesn't know what she's talking about.



* KavorkaMan: Is very passionate about fishing and talks about it using such poetic language that EvenTheGuysWantHim. Or at least [[AmbiguouslyBi Davis]] does.

* TheFriendNobodyLikesTheFriendNobodyLikes: [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] - Hank is the target for a sarcastic joke at the hands of pretty much everyone, but they rarely outright hate him, they just (rightly) think he's a doofus and (to a more arguable degree of correctness) let him know that.
