* RoguesGalleryTransplant: After a season's worth of episodes of just antagonizing Cow and Chicken, he began to harass Weasel and Baboon. He actually explained in his first appearance in an ''I Am Weasel'' short that he was attempting to hide from Supercow where she'd hopefully not look -- in a ''Weasel'' cartoon. She beats him up anyway.

* WickedWeasel: {{Inverted}}. Weasel is a [[ChronicHeroSyndrome courageous, selfless hero]] who is [[TheAce great at everything]], pretty much the exact opposite of that trope's cowardly, self-centered sociopath that often has to resort to trickery and deceit to accomplish anything. This characterization of near-perfection serves primarily to set him up as the comedic {{Foil}} to I.R. Baboon.

* OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous: In spades. Considering he's a [[NewJobAsThePlotDemands jack-of-all-trades]], he can pull any kind of role of either gender... and not only that, whenever he plays a female, he clearly has a bust.
