* ClassicalAntihero: Rocco is not a bad lad but, for the life of him, he can't bring himself to bear a healthier lifestyle. Time and time again he's shown as too lazy and too much of a glutton to ever accomplish that goal. As a result, the plot revolves around his many failed attempts at losing weight.

!!Tropes:
* AnimalMotifs: Rocco is frequently associated with pigs due to his gluttony. For example, he has pig prints on his boxers. His personal Grim Reaper has a noticeable pig snout poking out from its hood. Heck, one cover elevates it to {{irony}} as a widowed pig mother and her piglets mourn the father pig in front of Rocco, who is eating a ham sandwich.
