Added DiffLines:

* ConspiracyTheorist: How he is originally presented. Turns out he is 100% right about the plot to steal West Covina's hot water.
* Cloudcouckoulander: Downplayed but Justified. He suffers from Schizophrenia, but is heavily medicated and in therapy, and is very high functional. It barely gets mentioned outside of Season 1, and he has no problem running the firm.
* EccentricMillionaire: Or "Thousandaire" as he puts hit. Originally of the SecretlyWealthy variety. He hit big with Bitcoin and doesn't really need to work again, preferring to go fishing. However, because fishing isn't expensive, he doesn't have anything to do with the money before deciding to invest in the firm.

Greg's father

----

* TheAlcoholic: Like father, like son.
* DeadpanSnarker: Another trait shared by him and Greg.
* [[IllGirl Ill Man]]: Marco has emphysema, which necessitated Greg living with him as a caretaker.
* ParentalMarriageVeto: Greg and Rebecca were never close to getting married, but Marco made it very clear that he did not approve of their relationship, thinking Rebecca was bad for Greg. [[spoiler: This doesn't stop him from sleeping with her in "Josh's Ex-Girlfriend is Crazy", however.]]
* ParentsAsPeople: Marco is a bit abrasive and snarky, not to mention his struggles with alcoholism, but he is fundamentally a good person and clearly loves his son very much. Marco is also supportive of Greg's recovery and encourages him to leave West Covina and go to business school.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Marco does not appear in many episodes, but he is responsible (either directly or indirectly) for two major plot points.
** He decides to sell his house and give Greg half the profits, which enables him to leave West Covina and go to Emory. With this, he also successfully encourages Greg to cut things off with Rebecca for good.
** He encounters Rebecca at a bar during a low point in her life and pays her a compliment, and [[spoiler: they end up sleeping together, which is shown in "The End of the Movie" as Rebecca hitting rock bottom.]]
