* AnimalLover: Not only does he love his cats, but he loves animals in general.
** During the intro of the "Animal Antics" Joker vs. Joker challenge during "Enter The Dragons," Q is very happily holding a penguin.
** Though he was scared out of his head when tarantulas were put on him during his "Spider Man" punishments, he still wanted to take care to not hurt any of them. This is partially why he was shackled to the platform for the punishment.
** Q voluntarily joined Prince Herb during the latter's "Ruffled Feathers" punishment just so he could hold some zoo animals.

* HeelFaceTurn: During the “Drive, Drive, Drive” punishment, Murr asked Q to go to the White Castle in the Bronx to get food for him.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.


* BadassBeard: Starting mid-Season 2. From Season 2 through Season 5, the beard varied from a five o'clock shadow to full-on beard; this is because he was still on the FDNY roster during this time and would have to shave before he reported for duty. After his retirement from the FDNY, he's hardly touched a razor since.



* BadassBeard: Has one as of the second half of Season 2.



* TookALevelInBadass: He used to bow out of challenges ''a lot'' more frequently in the early seasons. He stopped doing this around the time he grew out his BadassBeard.

** Another rare subversion occurred in the "Pants Party" segment of "Catastrophe"; Tommy Dreamer pantsed Q, accidentally exposing him. Joe and Murr fell down laughing, but Prince Herb stared at the scene in mute shock, hand over his mouth. He then said that he'd feared being similarly exposed during his turn previously; fortunately for him, he only got stripped to his boxers by Bully Ray.

As part of the punishment, he had to humiliate himself and make the kids root against him in various ways, such as by breaking a small trampoline and smushing the cake with his hand. The Jokers also secretly gave one kid an egg to [[ProducePelting throw at him]] whenever he felt like it. The kid threw it at some point in the middle of Q's "performance."
