* UltimateJobSecurity: He has it because of his celebrity status. Tracy is willing to play into this to make a point; the chief example is when he goes completely over the top after realizing Jack has invited him to an executive golf tournament simply to win himself diversity points.

* DeadpanSnarker: One of her's biggest traits to the point that it makes her seem insufferable at times.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Characters like ''Series/MurphyBrown'', women that constantly fight to stand up for themselves and use their sharp wit to sarcastically put down those who are unrighteous. Quite frankly, Liz Lemon is Brown who is realistically an underachiever with a fiercely intense anger at times, a sarcastic wit, an incredibly viciously condescending and self-righteous manner, an extremely stubborn streak and a drive to prove herself that goes past feminism and straight into ItsAllAboutMe territory.
