History Characters / HorribleBosses

** In the midst of following Jones' half-assed advice, he gets in the midst of Harken murdering Pelitt and flees away running down a red light going 61 at a 25. He then makes up a horrendous lie he was drag racing.... in a Prius.

* OnlySaneMan: While not a genius himself, Nick seems far more level-headed than Kurt and Dale.

* OnlySaneMan: Nick is the only one of the trio who doesn't seem to be an idiot, except for his moment of speeding away from Harken murdering Bobby and deliberately skipping a red light. In his defense, he was panicking.

* DepravedDentist: She raped Dale while he was unconscious during a dental procedure, aside from all the sexual harassment.

* AnythingThatMoves: Julia has raped numerous dental patients, slept with gay men, is attracted to 14-year-old boys, and tells Dale that she's going to bed his wife Stacy while he is in a coma.

* {{Nepotism}}: Really look at what this guy does with his company, then just try to say with a straight face that this isn't how he got control of the company. You will find it physically impossible to do so.
%%* PsychopathicManchild: He's selfish, irresponsible, crass, throws homophobic slurs at Kurt, and doesn't give a shit about poisoning Bolivians.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: In the first movie, while engaging in (forced) phone sex with Dale. During the climatic chase, no less.

* DumbBlonde: She fails miserably to conceal any evidence she cheats on her husband.

** He proceeds to screw over Nick despite the dude being a hardworking employee.

* StupidEvil: Just walks up to an innocent man at his door and [[DisproportionateRetribution shoots the guy]] [[ADeadlyAffair believing he's his wife's lover]], likely thinking nobody was around to see or hear it (Nick was), or that it wasn't caught on a surveillance cam, and that no consequences would arise from it. Granted it was at night and the block was pretty empty, but you still never really know.

* UngratefulBastard: To Dale, despite him saving his life.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: He named himself "Motherfucker Jones" as his real name is the same as another actor. Thing is that he got it after [[ComicallyMissingThePoint fucking up his mother... by stealing her wallet from her purse]].

* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: ''Very'' much averted, as the movie plays it up for creep factor and Dale is very distressed by her treatment. On the other hand, Nick and Kurt both end up sleeping with her, and Nick actually ends up falling in love with her.

* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Almost immediately after becoming the boss, Bobby plans to lay people off and cut corners in their waste disposal operations, and he makes no secret that he hates the company and wants to gut it entirely.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Leaving his "dipshit coke-head son" in charge of his company after his passing wasn't a good idea.

* {{Jerkass}}: Due to being the BigBad, of course.

* JaywalkingWillRuinYourLife: Thanks to a drunken piss on an empty playground, Julia is the only dentist in town who will hire him.

* BadassBeard: He finally lives up to the "badass" part [[spoiler:when he blackmails Julia at the very end of the first movie]].

* OnlySaneMan: Nick is the only one of the trio who doesn't seem to be an idiot, except for his moment of speeding away from Harken murdering Bobby and deliberately skipping a red light.

* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: ''Very'' much averted, as the movie plays it up for creep factor and Dale is very distressed by her treatment. Likewise, Nick and Kurt are just as put-off by her, too.

* MsFanservice: Julia dresses in some form-fitting clothing, and in one scene she is appeared almost naked in front of Dale as she called in her office to talk him.
