* MistakenForProfound: When asked to do an installation at a swanky art gallery at short notice, he paints a red cubicle that is empty save for a chair and a ringing telephone. Feeling that something is missing, he goes to add to it, only to knock himself unconscious with a tin of green paint. He awakes several hours later to a hearty congratulations from the gallery's owner who commends Brian's dedication and insight, offering him a regular position. Even when he states that he wants to go to the hospital, the owner assumes he means some trendy bar.

* ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: Despite his military training in the TA, he's actually quite careless with his guns, doing things such as wiping tears of laughter from his eyes with the muzzle of one of his pistols and leaving a submachinegun lying around the flat in a ShoutOut to Vincent Vega's death in ''Film/PulpFiction''.


Added DiffLines:

* GeniusDitz: Despite his childlike manner and usual cluelessness, he's quite good at reading people and articulating himself regarding emotions. An excellent example comes during his TA re-evaluation where he makes and erudite point about his emotional wellbeing at the time he stole the tank and when asked he thought this happened, his response is to shrug and mumble "I dunno."

Tim's boss at the comic book store, "Fantasy Bazaar". He explains to Tim the story of Gramsci, the dog that attacks only the rich people on Hampstead Heath. At one point in series 2, Bilbo fires Tim for his inability to get over his dislike of The Phantom Menace, but later begs him to return, inspired by Tim leaving a message begging him to do so on his answer-phone. He once beat up his dad for saying ''Film/HawkTheSlayer'' was rubbish.

%%* AssholeVictim

to:

%%* AssholeVictim* AssholeVictim: He gets nailed in [[GroinAttack the balls with a paintball gun]] and his final appearance has him getting violently beaten up by a gang of thugs with no word on if he even survived. Nonetheless, he's such an arsehole it's hard to feel any sympathy for him.

to:

%%* EvilIsHammy
%%* EvilSoundsDeep
%%* FauxAffablyEvil
* DirtyCoward: Duane's smarminess and overconfidence disappears when someone actually stands up to him or poses a real threat. His final scene has him desperately plead and apologize when the gang of teens start beating him up.
* EvilIsBigger: He's played by Peter Serafinowicz, who towers over every other cast member, and is the closest thing the series has to a villain.
* EvilIsHammy: Peter Serafinowicz is clearly enjoying himself, as evidenced by the ridiculously deep, borderline demonic voice he provides.
* EvilSoundsDeep: He has the menacing voice of Darth Maul but even deeper and more gravelly and is Tim's main rival throughout the series.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He can pretend to be nice for short periods and as though he just wants to be Tim's friend but it takes very little for his true nasty colors to come out.



%%* {{Jerkass}}

to:

%%* {{Jerkass}}* {{Jerkass}}: He's rude, smug, stole his friend's girlfriend and mocks him about it later and is generally just a terrible human being all around.
