* CuttingOffTheBranches: [[spoiler:If you take Packie to the Paleto Bay heist, he'll mentions that his brother Derrick is dead. This carries the implication that Niko's assassination of Derrick during ''IV''[='=]s "Blood Brothers" mission may be canonical, and that the other target, their brother and LCPD deputy chief Francis, may still alive. But it is also vague enough to indicate that Derrick maybe just died from his drug abuse.]]

* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Nice job beating up Solomon Richards, the very man who hired him to co-produce "Meltdown", right where his number-one fan sees. Now Michael will do what Luis refused to five years ago.]]
* VillainDecay: Went from one of the most trusted enforcers of the Ancellotti family [[spoiler: before they stripped him of his rank]] to an overly pushy movie star agent [[spoiler: and one that doesn't even last 2 missions before being KilledOffForReal.]]

->"Think of me: Packie [=McReary=], of Dukes, LC!"

* CuttingOffTheBranches: [[spoiler: If you take Packie to the Paleto Bay bank heist, he'll mentions that his brother Derrick is dead. This would imply that Niko killind Derrick is canon for the mission "Blood Brothers" in GTAIV and that Francis is still alive.]]

* [[spoiler:EpicFail[=/=]StupidCrooks: When you encounter him he's barely successful at holding up a small time drug store and he forgot to make sure his partner got a getaway car to boot (in his defense, said partner was probably the worse of the StupidCrooks). Thankfully he's much more competent during your jobs.]]
** [[spoiler:He openly admits that he looks like [[HotBlooded a hothead]] [[IdiotHero and an idiot]], and [[SelfDeprecation that he definitely is a hothead and more than an idiot]].]]
** [[spoiler: If you take him on the last heist, choose the obvious way to do it and have him in the car with Michael, Michael will ask him if he's prepared to do something really stupid. Packie's response is to say that Michael hired the right guy for stupid things.]]

* [[spoiler:RememberWhenYouBlewUpTheSun: During his event he will mention a big bank heist he helped pull off with Niko in the previous game. Also if you take him on the Paleto bank heist he will describe the entire job more thoroughly and will mention Niko by name.]]
* [[spoiler:SecretCharacter: If you successfully do his random event near Franklin's house near the beginning of the game he can be hired to help you in future heists.]]

* AssholeVictim: In keeping with his Flanderized radio personality, Lazlow does plenty to justified the degradation he endures.
* ButtMonkey: Just like his status on the radio. Except this time you have the pleasure of jumping in on the humiliation van.
** He's also picked on by the Judges in Fame or Shame.
* TheChewToy: Whenever he runs into Michael or Trevor it usually ends with him being humiliated. However, he's such a sleazy {{jerkass}} that he deserves the bad things that happen to him.

* PetTheDog: When Tracy De Santa loses to some Masturbating monkeys at the Fame or Shame finals, Lazlow actually calls the judges a bunch of idiots and says Tracey should have won.
* SmugSnake

* {{Cuckold}}: Ashley is having sex with Trevor, and when Johnny confronts him over it, [[spoiler: it leads to his death.]]

* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: She can be run over during the ''Mr. Philips'' mission. If she's left crying over Johnny's corpse, a news report tells that she died after participating in a crack orgy.]]

* DirtyCoward: Bolts when Michael beats him up, and again when Michael [[spoiler: returns to kill him. He doesn't get away the second time.]]

** [[spoiler: Even more so than his gang, Johnny himself is nothing like he was 5 years ago, he could barely keep his composure when calling Trevor out and Immediately takes back what he said when Trevor approaches him, And when Trevor goes in for the attack he doesn't even try to fight back. For fans of the ''The Lost and the Damned'' this can really be gut-wrenching to watch considering what a badass he was in that game.]]

* [[spoiler:RealityEnsues: Despite what a badass he was in ''The Lost and the Damned'', years as a methhead took their toll on him.]]

* TheCameo: Returns only in the form of a website.

* {{Badass}}: He is one of the best gunmen available for heists.

* [[spoiler:RememberWhenYouBlewUpTheSun: During his event he will mention a big bank heist he helped pull off with Niko in the previous game.]]

* BadassDecay

* DirtyOldMan: A 51-year-old trying to take advantage of a girl who's barely legal. This bites him ''hard''.
* DumbassHasAPoint / JerkassHasAPoint / RightForTheWrongReasons: He's usually one of the three; for all his faults, he's at least honest about how pathetic he is, and is quick to point out the hypocrisy, stupidity, and outright insanity of the world around him, right before saying something that completely undermines his point.

* [[Badass Decay]]

* {{BadassDecay}}

** [[spoiler: That said...she's TAME compared to the FIB...]]

* {{Cuckold}}: Ashley is having sex with Trevor, and when Johnny confronts him over it, it leads to his death.
