* ToServeMan: This gets subverted. It seems like he's cooking his customers into food at first, but he's just making very realistic sculptures of them.
* TheUnsmile: Jean Bon is a big friendly fellow who always puts on his best smile to try and put his customers at ease. Unfortunately, said "best smile" comes across as more like an evil, predatory grin, much to the unsettlement of Courage and the audience, even though Jean Bon really doesn't mean any harm.

* StockAnimalDiet: His favorite food is: fish and fried fish sticks. When the duo (Courage and Muriel) began to float on the water, he emerges from the lake and stood behind them.
