* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Though you have to look ''really'' hard to find the heart of gold in the first film. It's much more evident in ''Ghostbusters II''.

In the Ghostbusters video game he seems to have lost the heart and all that is left is the Jerk. A funny jerk, but a [[{{Jerkass}} Jerk]] none the less.

* DidNotDoTheResearch: When referencing the proton packs, he refers to them under a different name every time ("particle accelerator", "positron collider", and "nuclear accelerator"), none of which are necessarily the same things...
** ''[[FridgeBrilliance ...which makes sense.]]'' Venkman is a doctor of '''psychology'''; it's likely he honestly doesn't know the tech specifics. [[RuleOfFunny Or care, if he does.]]

* JerkAss: Having the containment grid turned off despite the warnings of the Ghostbusters and a Con Ed technician's reticence against it is bad enough, but to have the Busters arrested for the ensuing disaster he himself caused is the act of a pure Jerk!

* JerkAss: Having Where to begin? He harasses the Ghostbusters based solely on rumors, never bothering to do any actual research. He orders the containment grid to be turned off despite the warnings of the Ghostbusters and a Con Ed technician's reticence against it is bad enough, but doing so, resulting in the release of all the ghosts therein. Then he has the nerve to have the Busters arrested for the ensuing disaster he himself caused is the act of a pure Jerk!caused!

* StrawmanHasAPoint: He was right to be concerned about the environmental impact of the Ghostbusters' equipment, and only became a JerkAss as a reaction to Venkman's blase attitude towards him in their initial meeting where he was, in fact, polite.



* StopHavingFunGuys: As seen when the Ghostbusters turn up at his museum.
