* BadassAdorable: [[spoiler:As cute as any other character out there on the show, and paired with an endearingly MellowFellow personality, but as "A Jury of Your Fears" shows, she is an ActionGirl who can [[CurbStompBattle easily beat]] some of the Unvitational Committee members down as one of the two eliminated contestants not captured by them.]]

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: [[spoiler:Going into the finale, Silver Spoon actually looked like the frontrunner to win the jury's vote, but after his actions severely injure Candle and ruined his, Ballon's, and Cabby's first attempts to take back the show from the Unvitational Committee and save everyone, Silver Spoon notably seems to reserve himself to not ''deserving'' to win. Tellingly, while Balloon and Cabby make a genuine effort to win back the jury, Silver Spoon instead takes the time to apologize to Candle, and in the end only gets hers and Blueberry's votes.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[AccidentalPun Okay, more silver than gold]], but still, for as arrogant and rude as he is, he isn't heartless, as he does show care for some others from time to time, like being surprised that he's still included after his UnsportsmanlikeGloating [[spoiler:following OJ's elimination]] and being subsequently called out by Candle.
** [[spoiler:It becomes even more apparent in the two-part finale following his, Balloon's, and Cabby's failed first attempts in saving the show and everyone involved from the Unvitational Committee and hurting Candle badly, where he not only makes a genuine effort to change, but also willingly works with the other two to try again and succeed this time, and is a GracefulLoser when Cabby won instead of him, too.]]

* IconicSequelCharacter: Easily one of the most popular characters in the show, with stuff like him having the most votes in a popularity poll outside of Lightbulb (who couldn't join season 3 because of her still being in the game in season 2), the episode, "Tri Your Best", which focuses quite a lot on him, formerly being the most viewed episode on the channel, and ESPECIALLY being a '''six''' time viewer immunity winner [[spoiler:(which not only led to the viewer immunity vote being scrapped, but also became a [[TooPowerfulToLive big reason why he eventually got eliminated]])]], it becomes a surprise that he's NOT in season 1, and in fact a newcomer in season 2.

This later spreads to the contestants in the following episode when they (along with [=MePhone4=]) believed he is who captured [[DistressedDude Fan]], and similarly, the Shimmers (who are the actual ones capturing Fan) show fear of him from the Meeple logo alone.

* VileVillainSarccharineShow: Inanimate Insanity is a comedy at its core, but while he was treated as a joke in his debut episode, he is who kickstarted its CerebrusSyndrome, and starting from episode 13, is proven to be quite the horrible person, with him being an AbusiveFather to [=MePhone4=] and staging an attack on the Prime Shimmers' home.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness:If his creations aren't the way he wants them to be, he either destroys them or leaves them to rot in a closet. After [=MePhone4=] runs away, he sends his successors after him to kill him because of his outdatedness. Considering that [=MePhoneX=] shows up at the end of ''Hatching the Plan'' and does something unknown to Toilet, and Cobs was secretly responsible for Toilet being hired, it's possible that Cobs did this to Toilet as well.

* JerkassToOne: {{Downplayed}}, as ''jerk'' is definitely a stretch, but he tends to give the cold shoulder to Microphone due to her volume and tendency to mess up challenges, such as when he refuses to let her play on the field during the soccer challenge and reduces her to being a goalie. [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom Unbeknownst to him, his (and most of the other Grand Slams') disdain towards her inadvertently contributes to her poor self-esteem, which ends up culminating in]] [[spoiler:her alliance with Taco]].

* TeamKiller: Attempted to do so on her newly formed team in "Best Served Cold". Instead of using her files to help, Cabby emotionally manipulates her teammates, such as elevating tensions between Silver Spoon and Paintbrush, triggering Bow's TraumaButton several times, and encouraging Test Tube to spread slander about Silver Spoon so he'll be a likely candidate for elimination, when she knew there's no chance in winning the challenge. All this to get rid of the competition and save her own non-existent neck with none the wiser. [[spoiler:Luckily, Test Tube put a stop to this before things could escalate further.]]

* TooCleverByHalf: Her files got all the information and dirt on everyone down to pinpoint accuracy.
