| 47 | !Tropes |
| 48 | * LovableSexManiac: His public persona at least. He will often make a point of what arouses him. |
| 49 | * HypocriticalHumor: He will often insult fans by calling them "Nerds", but he has an encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture, loves ''Film/TheFastAndTheFurious'', ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'', and especially ''Series/GilmoreGirls''. |
| 50 | * PlaysGreatEthnics: He's Greek-American for the record, but has played Middle Eastern characters in the past. |
| 51 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Gender inverted. Publicly, he will often remind the audience that he is single. He usually says this at the worst possible time, for the comedic effect. |
| 52 | * {{Typecasting}}: Has a habit of landing a lot of {{Cloudcuckoolander}} roles; Adrian Pimento in ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'' and Rex Splode in ''WesternAnimation/Invincible2021'' are typical examples of his loud and often conspiratorial schtick. He can still bring a serious performance when it calls for it, making it very jarring when he chooses those other roles. |
| 53 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Is allergic to a shockingly large number of foods; he's stated that eating eggs will "straight up kill" him. |
