* ChildHater: With the [[OverprotectiveDad singular exception of his daughter]], he has been repeatedly been shown to hate kids, to the point of eating them. He employs Robbie and Charlene at different points in the series, and isn't any fonder of them than he is of Earl.

* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: Earl is a ''Megalosaurus''. Fran is, according to WordOfGod, an ''Allosaurus''. What their children are is anyone's guess. On the behind-the-scenes feature for the DVD, the creators admit that the kids' designs aren't based on any real dinosaurs and are made-up (though Charlene does resemble a ''Protoceratops'' while fans peg him to be a ''Hypsilophodon'').

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Earl thinks he is this compared to his sister Pearl, as he got a job and stopped dreaming about a career in Country music. Given that it led Pearl to leave her family and leave them at a bad time, he's not wrong.



* HiddenDepths: A bumbling bluecollar father that used to sing Country and can still do it with little retraining.
