8 | !!Tropes include: |
9 | |
10 | * AngryMobSong: After finding out that Leon is the one who slept with their wives, The Victims of the Smiling Ass are so glad to have a new goal that they cheerfully dance through the city on their way to his workplace while singing about their plan to castrate & kill him. |
11 | %%* TheCasanova: Leon. |
12 | %%* ChickMagnet: Leon, again. |
13 | * CoolHouse: Leon's opinion of his house boat, decorated like the 1970's Playboy mansion. |
14 | * GagPenis: Everyone who sees Leon's penis seems both shocked and impressed. It even has glorious light and a choir. |
15 | %%* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: The obviously gay Lance. |
16 | %%* HereWeGoAgain: |
17 | * HeroAntagonist: The Victims of the Smiling Ass, the husbands of the various women that Leon's slept with. (And to a point their relatives, but it's mostly the husbands who get focused on.) |
18 | * IAteWhat: Leon pushes Julie's ex-fiancee Lester to eat the bar food with him as a display of his street cred. So they dine together on pickled pigs' feet, pickled eggs, prairie oysters, and spicy hog balls. As a finale, Leon tricks Lester into eating something called "back bottom gristle lumps", which turns out to be [[spoiler:pickled human shit]]. |
19 | * ImpossiblyTackyClothing: Leon tends to dress as if it were the mid-1970s, despite it being several decades later. |
20 | * InteractiveNarrator: Lester the bartender. [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Leon even calls him out on it]]. Especially for apparently doing it ''every time'' he goes to the bar, despite it being the same few barflies. |
21 | * ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: While Leon is trying to sneak past the VSA in the bar, due to them being there to '''kill him''', he speaks up when they say he has a small penis. Cue chase scene and Lester's FacePalm. |
22 | * JerkAss: |
23 | ** Julie's aforementioned ex. |
24 | ** The mailman who ridicules Leon's style. |
25 | ** Given that he enjoys sleeping with married women and mocking their husbands by leaving naked and showing them his ass tattoo, Leon qualifies too. |
26 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Leon is very protective of Julie, even if he is a complete womanizer. |
27 | * MoodWhiplash: Leon's Valentine's Day poem, which starts out sweet and romantic and ends with "do it in the butt". |
28 | * StrangeMindsThinkAlike: The mob of angry husbands think that Leon's horribly tacky houseboat is "tasteful". |
29 | * TooDumbToLive: Leon overhears the VSA threaten his life and is successfully sneaking out of the bar... until he hears them claim he has a tiny penis and loudly objects, leading to a chase. |
30 | * TransparentCloset: Lance, whom absolutely everyone gets the vibe off but no one quite has the heart to talk to him about. Also his "wrestling partner" Brian. |
