* AffablyEvil: The Warden can be really cordial and polite at times, too bad he runs a literal meat grinder he calls a jail and is ''severely'' shaky when it comes to his morality.



* ChildishToothGap: Has a noticeable gap between his front teeth and is a ManChild.

* ChildishToothGap: Has a noticeable gap between his front teeth and is a ManChild. However, if one of the Warden's drawings is to go by, then the "tooth gap" is possibly a missing tooth.



* FauxAffablyEvil: The Warden can be really cordial and polite at times, too bad he runs a literal meat grinder he calls a jail and is ''severely'' shaky when it comes to his morality. Not to mention when he drops the politeness, he proves to be quite a rude fellow.



* {{Jerkass}}: His treatment towards Jared is incredibly mean. He shows absolutely no respect towards him, Ccnstantly belittles him at every moment, shows that he doesn't really care about him, and at times he even injures him. [[UndyingLoyalty Jared, on the other hand, constantly stands on his side and stays loyal to him]].

[[UndyingLoyalty Jared, on the other hand, constantly stands on his side and stays loyal to him]]. Jared isn't even safe from his asshole behavior either as the Superjail prisoners can attest too and even Alice herself was subjected to harsh behavior from him despite his [[VillainousCrush crush]] on her.



* NonActionGuy: The Warden isn't what you call a fighter. He usually sends out Alice, Jailbot, [[GodzillaThreshold or even the inmates]] to deal with his enemies. Made apparent when he gets his ass kicked by the inmates in "Best Friends Forever" where Alice and Jailbot were MIA at the time.

However, when he pretends to be Jailbot and tries to apprehend Jacknife, he gets some good punches in on Jacknife, proving that he's not a total weakling.

* SuperPersistentPredator: He will stop at nothing to apprehend criminals, especially Jacknife.



* FatBastard: An overweight and insane man he is.



* ItsAllAboutMe: Jacknife considers himself the priority, others are simply unimportant maggots he can use and discard whenever he wants to.



* LackOfEmpathy: He does not care much for other people's suffering. In fact, ''he'' may be the one causing other people to suffer without a care in the world.



* TheSociopath: Jacknife is quite the psychopath, particularly a low-functioning one. LackOfEmpathy? Check. [[ItsAllAboutMe Self-centered]]? Check. Disregard for the law? Check. [[AxCrazy Violent]]?, Check. [[StupidEvil Impulsive]]?, Check. Irresponsible? Check. [[AllMenArePerverts High sexual drive?]] Check. Yup, Jacknife ticks the boxes for psychopathy alright.



* StupidEvil: He tends to take many risks and does not tend to plan his crimes well enough to get away with it, usually resulting in a beatdown by Jailbot or getting punished by other people and getting sent back to Superjail as a result. However, he's still able to survive the havoc in Superjail and even escape the place much of the time, so he's not ''that'' stupid.



* TheUnintelligible: Only speaks in various grunts and yells. This was a compromise made between the show creator, Christy Karacas, and Creator/CartoonNetwork. Originally, the entire series was supposed to have no dialogue in it (save for the occasional grunts, groans, screams, and walla), but Cartoon Network objected. Karacas decided to just make the cold openings with Jacknife committing a crime and getting caught by Jailbot dialogue-free (more or less).

* MetaphoricMetamorphosis: The Warden exploits his shapeshifting ability to make a lot of {{Visual Pun}}s.
** There's that time when he turns himself into a beer glass when talking about coworkers spending quality time in a bar and, shortly after, into a worker bee when declaring that it's time to go back to work.
** In another episode, the Warden intends to miniaturize a couple of inmates so they can battle the forces of nature. Cue to him dressing them as a gladiator and a XIXth century soldier.
** While lamenting over how he and fellow prison guard Alice have ruined the purest thing in Superjail, aka love (born of convenience and limited options), he is suddenly wearing baby cupid's typical diaper and feathery wings.

* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: The Warden never shows hostility towards people based on their race, ethnicity, gender or background. He has absolutely nothing against gays, being even thrilled to organize and participate at the gay inmates' wedding. He isn't bothered by transgenders at all, considering he is into Alice. Also, he showed genuine respect for the disabled inmates for their optimistic outlook in life and badassery.
