* CatchPhrase: BreakoutCharacter: He, Homey, and Blaine and Antoine are among the most popular and recognizable characters on the show. He even [[spoiler:makes a surprise cameo in TheStinger of ''Film/LiarLiar''.]]

"LEMME SHOW YA SOMETHIN'!" and "Don't worry, folks! I am a fire marshal!"



* NoSympathy: He swings between this, InnocentlyInsensitive, and LackOfEmpathy at times. He's aware that he causes disasters, but depending on the environment, either isn't aware or doesn't care. One time had him quipping a bar patron who accidentally electrocutes himself on a TV wire on water and another time had him giving marshmallows to a class of children to roast after he burned down their school.

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Blaine, frequently. Whenever he's excited, he cries out a high-pitched girly scream, be it at the prospect of being chased by football players or dimply [[MundaneMadeAwesome whipping cream in a bowl.]] Given how Damon Wayans has had this scream in other productions, it either is his natural scream or he's doing it for the sake of comedy.

* HiddenHeartOfGold: Subverted. One sketch makes it seem as if Homey is going to be kind to a kid, only for him to resume yelling at the kid to get the hell away from Homey.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: He carries a weighted sock and likes to use it on people who really get on his nerves. He's surprisingly handy with it, even wielding it like a nunchaku at one point.

Homey. The sketch featuring his son plays it straighter: When Homey learns that Homey Jr. was a runaway, he starts to chew Junior out for using him, and having no respect for authority... and admits that [[SoProudOfYou he's proud of him]], promptly gifting him his original weighted sock as a reward.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: He carries a weighted sock and likes to use it on people who really get on his nerves. He's surprisingly handy with it, even wielding it like a nunchaku at one point. He later gifts his estranged son his original sock when he learned that he was a runaway, and Child Services had to take him back home.

Added DiffLines:

* BreakoutCharacter: He, along with Fire Marshall Bill and Blaine and Antoine, are the most recognizable characters and the only one to receive his own video game.


Added DiffLines:

* HeterosexualLifePartners: They get on very well with each other and have the same goals of becoming famous through underhanded or low-quality means.
* HighHopesZeroTalent: Both men wish to become famous directors and/or producers, but between their odd approach, the cheap quality of their "films" and dim intellect, they seldom succeed.
* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: Their fashion sense is both tather gaudy and at least TwoDecadesBehind.
* MadLibsCatchPhrase: Whenever Clavelle realizes he makes a mistake, he will often say, "Well, ain't that a X (blip, chocolate chip cookie, etc.)
* OnlyOneName: Clavelle doesn't seem to have a surname (or, he likely is just going by one name, like Prince or Madonna).
* RunningGag:
** Howard pulling out [[MyCard his card]] in an outlandish way and shouting "Bam!" as he does.
** Often, said card will have some sort of eccentricity to it (there's another phone number crossed out on it, the text is written in crayon, and at one point his "card" was ''shaved into his hair.'')
* StylisticSuck: Their videos are usually ridiculously bad or poor quality.

* AngryBlackMan: A rather justified example: his [[NoodleIncident unspecified]] crime was implied to be a frame up and sent him to prison for some time and led to him becoming a reluctant circus clown.
