* AdrenalineMakeover: A rare male, delayed action case. He meets Fox, then goes back to his own mundane life. But one snarky remark too many from his Bad Boss sets the makeover in motion.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Of the "inexperienced"" variety. Kind of [[{{Subverted Trope}} subverted]] since, while he does look like an inexperienced young man, his inner monologues show he is well aware of how much his life sucks and is very angry about it.

Junior high must've been kind of tough, but it doesn't give you the right to treat your workers like horseshit, Janice. I know we laugh at you, Janice. We all know you keep a stash of jelly donuts in the top drawer of your desk. But I want you to know, if you weren't such a bitch, we'd feel sorry for you. I do feel sorry for you. But as it stands, the way you behave - I feel I can speak for the entire office when I tell you... go fuck yourself.
