Added DiffLines:

* BoomerangBigot: He's casually homophobic but is also a DepravedBisexual more than willing to have sex with men, often without consent.


Added DiffLines:

* DepravedBisexual: He thinks nothing of having sex with men and women, and often rapes them.


Added DiffLines:

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Downplayed. Vince is mostly a straightforward jerk to outright sociopathic levels, but he shows every now and again that he does sincerely care about Nelson and he'll occasionally PetTheDog.

* {{Catchphrase}}: Uses the names of famous celebrities as exclamations. Sometimes, they're quite relevant to the situation at hand, i.e. exclaiming "George A. Romero!" as sex-crazed dogs bear down on the gang zombie-style.

Restored to be more in line with the actual definition of the trope.

Added DiffLines:

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Averted - his former owner was a Michael Jackson impersonater and he himself was a Bubbles stand-in. Furthermore, his song is a very deliberate sendup of some of Michael Jackson's more soulful ballads, such as ''Earth Song'' and ''Will You Be There?''. He even dresses in a military uniform during the song like the real Bubbles and dons the King of Pop’s signature rhinestone glove.

Kali is a spiteful, petty, vindictive, s***ty little bird with a small beak and a big voice. In fact, there's only one thing in life she enjoys more than revelling in other people's misfortune, and that's causing other people's misfortune and then revelling in it a bit afterwards (like maybe over some coffee and a bagel from the bins near Pret).

* NatureIsNotNice: If his rant at Nelson in "Marion and the Superfluous Feed Character", Vince believes this to be true. He claims that his abusive treatment of the three animals locked up in his garden was ToughLove, trying to make them strong enough to survive on the rough streets of London. Then again, given that this is [[TheSociopath Vince]], this is worth taking with a grain of salt.

* DrunkOnMilk: In his debut episode, he drinks milk to dull the sensation of being stroked.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Averted - his entire character is pastiche of Freeman’s role in The Shawshank Redemption, and he very openly acknowledges whom he sounds like in “Vince and the C***’s Speech”.

The trope refers to fictional characters being imitations or stand-ins of real-life people. It has absolutely nothing to do with fictionalized accounts of celebrities being killed.


* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Averted; his song is a very deliberate sendup of some of Michael Jackson's more soulful ballads, such as ''Earth Song'' and ''Will You Be There?''. He even dresses in a military uniform like the real Bubbles and dons a signature rhinestone glove just as the King of Pop himself did. And that’s before we get into the literal meaning of the song, which is him actually wanting to harm celebrities!

Rob’s habit probably falls closer to this than Masturbation Means Sexual Frustration. Nelson even describes it as such in the episode, iirc


* GloryDays: Was a Bubbles impersonator until Michael Jackson died and all the other MJ impersonators (his owner included) committed suicide, leaving him out of work.
* IntelligentPrimate: He's quite cultured and well-spoken, even using French when he first meets Destiny.
* IWantSong: "I'm Gonna Murder Justin Bieber" has Robert singing about his desire to murder various teen pop stars in retaliation for "ruining" Britain's pop music scene.
* MasturbationMeansSexualFrustration: Robert's defining characteristic is his habit of masturbating when under tension, regardless of where he is or who's around him. It's the main thing keeping him out of a job, so Nelson tries to help him curb the habit.
