Examples include his habit of licking things and talking to his dead father. Granted, the other characters don't know he's doing the latter, so he just looks like he's talking to thin air.

* TheOtherDarrin: Diefenbaker was played by three different animals, the first in the pilot really was half-wolf (and noticeably so) but was thought to look too fierce so was replaced by a pure-bred Siberian Husky, who was also replaced with a lookalike after the show's hiatus.
* SavageWolves: Averted much of the time with Diefenbaker, but played straight a time or two: when Fraser was in danger, and when he had a girlfriend he was protecting.

* PlayingAgainstType: In his first appearance, he's TheAlcoholic, has a BeardOfSorrow, and has quite a dramatic story line.

(Ironic, when you consider Leslie Nielsen [[LeslieNielsenSyndrome has a whole syndrome named after him]] that relates to this very trope.)
