14	!!!'''This director has examples of:'''
15	* BMovie: The Creator/RogerCorman of his generation.
16	%% * BodyHorror
17	* TheCameo:
18	** Makes one in ''{{Film/Slither}}'', another one as an inmate in ''Film/{{Guardians of the Galaxy\|2014}}'', another as a barfly in ''Film/TheSuicideSquad'', and a voiceover role in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3'', all four directed by one of his pupils, Creator/JamesGunn.
19	** Appears as WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob's father in ''[[Film/TheCinemaSnobMovie Another Cinema Snob Movie]]''.
20	** He voices himself in the "Motörhead Through The Ages" DLC of ''Videogame/VictorVran''.
21	** He makes a special guest appearance in the twelfth issue ''ComicBook/ApamaTheUndiscoveredAnimal''... as a mattress salesman.
22	** He's one of the many victims of the ''Film/BigAssSpider''
23	* CloudCuckoolander: Just watch his appearance on ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd''.
24	%% * ClusterFBomb
25	%% * CoolOldGuy
26	%% * DirtyOldMan
27	* EveryoneHasStandards: Lloyd has almost no regrets about any of the films he has ever had any part in either making or distributing, no matter the subject matter or how many times those movies crosses into BlackComedy, {{Gorn}}, NauseaFuel and RefugeInAudacity. The "almost" part comes from Film/BloodsuckingFreaks, one of, if not THE only movie he feels ashamed of having distributed due to how mean-spirited he felt the movie was in the end.
28	%% * {{Gorn}}
29	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A self-admitted narcissist, Kaufman still has three rules of production for Troma: Safety to humans, safety to people's property, and make a good movie which he plasters around every set. And the third rule is always in smaller print because a movie is just a movie and Kaufman has said he would quit the business if anyone got hurt on one of his movies.
30	%% * LargeHam
31	* ProductionPosse: Joe Fleishaker has appeared in every movie since ''Film/TromasWar''. Also, in the years between ''Film/TheToxicAvenger'' and ''Film/SgtKabukimanNYPD'', A LOT of actors were re-used frequently.
32	%% * RefugeInAudacity
33	* SelfDeprecation: Just try to find an interview where he doesn't make fun of himself.
34	* SophisticatedAsHell: The man has a talent for making his point in thoughtful, eloquent language, and then dropping in profanity which he oddly manages to use to reinforce his point. Take for example Kaufman's statement on the passing of longtime friend [[{{Music/Motorhead}} Lemmy Kilmister]]:
35	-->“Although Lemmy was one of the greatest rock-n-roll pioneers in history, with an enormous following, Lemmy was always a supporter of the genuine artist and the underdog. On a personal level he always made time to generously appear in Troma movies, no matter how deep in the underground. The Troma Team and I have very few sincere friends in the mainstream so to lose Lemmy makes us all especially sad. He was a super shit-disturber and was a great role model for all us shit-disturbers.”
36	* SpecialGuest: Appeared as one on ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcuxGRO1wQA Yes, really.]]
37	** Earlier, at the beginning of ''WebVideo/DiamandaHagan's'' review of ''Film/ManiacNursesFindEcstasy''.
38	* StockFootage: That footage of the blue car flipping over has appeared in every one of his movies since ''Film/SgtKabukimanNYPD''.
