* BigBad: Of seasons 1 and 2. They keep trying to buy "Fisher And Sons" and vehemently refuse to take "No" for an answer... even if it means resorting to the most unethical measures possible. They have their eventual come-uppance not by the Fishers, but [[LaserGuidedKarma by the federal government for their unlawful business practices.]]

* NecessarilyEvil: We find out at the end of Season One that the reason why Kroehner is so intent on buying Fisher and Sons (as well as other funeral homes) is because they're financially struggling and are hoping that these buy-outs will allow them to avoid bankruptcy. It does not work for them (see LaserGuidedKarma above).



* SmallNameBigEgo: They were a pretty large funeral directing firm but clearly overestimated both their power and their financial assets, leading to their eventual bankruptcy (as detailed above).

* SmallNameBigEgo: They were a pretty large funeral directing firm but clearly overestimated both Despite their power enormous size and their influence, we find out in the Season One finale that the company's incessant attempts at buying out Fisher and Sons is because they are actually in fairly big financial assets, leading to their eventual bankruptcy (as detailed above).trouble. However, this doesn't stop them from being incredibly arrogant and condescending towards smaller (but clearly better managed) funeral homes like the Fishers'.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Jerkass}}: Rico is pretty arrogant (although he can back up his arrogance a little, due to being an excellent mortician) and unpleasant, to say nothing of his homophobia.


Added DiffLines:

* PetTheDog: For all his faults, he's usually a decent father to his children.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: He's rather openly homophobic, kicking Vanessa's cousin out of the house when he catches him having sex with another man. His homophobia causes some strain between him and David, although he eventually seems to tone it down in later seasons.


Added DiffLines:

* TookALevelInJerkass: Not that he was an especially nice person to begin with, but he goes from being slightly entitled and insufferable, to cheating on Vanessa and spending loads of money on a stripper, then lying to Vanessa's face about one woman he'd been seeing dying just to weasel his way back into her house, then convincing the principal that she'd been exposing their kids to drugs.

Spelling/grammar fix(es)


* FosterKid: Having been through several familys before, they've become cynical and treat Keith and David not unlike mischevious students treat a substitute teacher, convinced this is another temporary living situation.

His accent is unmistakable



to:

* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: It’s not clear what his accent ''should'' be, based on his name, but it’s almost certainly not be Peter Macdissi's natural Arabic (specifically Lebanese) accent.
