* {{Irony}}: After refusing to bail a caged Ray out in “Random Acts of Niceness”, the latter defends himself by saying that at least he “doesn’t pretend to like everyone”. Jake retorts by saying that just because Ray blew his chances at being rich, it doesn’t mean he has to be a crybaby about it. [[spoiler: In the series finale, Jake ends up in the final two, but receives no votes from the eliminated houseguests, and his response is throwing a giant temper tantrum and blowing the house up. For even more irony, Ray becomes rich once Chi Chi forfeits the house because Jake’s new victory meant that Ray’s ridiculous bet made him a millionaire. Unfortunately for Jake, he blew up the house, and Ray rebuilt it and now owns it.]]



* BadassGrandpa: At the age of 62, he is the oldest character, and he is definitely someone you would want to piss off.

* BlatantLies: A lot of his confessionals are about his supposedly grand accomplishments that are obviously made up. The most glaring example of this, however, is in “Chi’s Having a Baby”, where he admits to have had sex with Chi Chi “many times, and in many positions”. While Ray and Morreski’s confessionals showed footage of them being intimate with Chi Chi, Jake’s footage is of him humping the couch in his room.

Added DiffLines:

* CurbStompBattle: Morreski beats the ever living hell out of the doctor in “Random Acts of Niceness” after he took one step too far with insulting Morreski's mother. His loss against Chi Chi in “Dr. D Plays House” is pretty much a verbal equivalent once she gets the upper hand.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Foreshadowing}}: There are some hints that Doctor D [[spoiler: is a poser even before Bobbie outs him in “Truth or Consequences”]]:
** In “Live and Let Diet”, he stabs himself with his switchblade after spending almost the entire episode threatening Ray with violence, hinting that he is not used to using weapons.
** In “Dr. D Plays House”, despite being supposedly talented at rapping, especially freestyle, he loses a rap battle to Chi Chi, the last person that one would picture beating a gangster at rapping.
** In "Scared Shirtless”, he, a supposed sexually experienced gangster, fails to woo either Minou or Chi Chi. Although in the latter’s case, [[spoiler: Doctor D is unaware that the person he had sex with in the dark isn’t her.]]
** In “Random of Acts of Niceness”, he is utterly powerless when Morreski beats him up. He is left with a swollen eye, broken shades, and a bloody body overall. Although it’s natural that a grizzly bear would easily overpower a penguin, when both animals are anthropomorphized, one would expect the supposedly rough street thug penguin to at least put up a fight against the elderly bear.

* {{Gonk}}: Although pigs aren’t the most naturally beautiful creatures, Jake goes beyond typical pig looks with his moles, obesity and visible humanlike nipples.



* CartoonyEyes: Ray has bulging, buggy, bloodshot eyes that reflect his goofiness and affinity for marijuana.



* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: He does this a couple of times, including in one of his first scenes in “Welcome to the Jungle”:
-->'''Rico''': Margarita?
-->'''Ray''': Uh…that’s a bit fruity for me, dude. You got any beer back there?
-->'''Rico''': Oh, I see. I guess there’s something wrong with—
-->'''Ray''': No, hey, hey, fruity’s good too, dude. It’s just that I’m not, you know, into fruity. You know, what I’m saying? Dude? Dude?

-->'''Ray''': It’s not that I would never drink a margarita, it’s just that I would never “drink” a margarita, you know?



* HowManyFingers?: When [[spoiler: Chi Chi wakes up with amnesia in the finale]], Ray asks her how many fingers he is holding. Said fingers happen to both of his middle fingers.

* BearsAreBadNews: Although generally laidback, he has threatened and/or beaten up half of his fellow houseguests (Ray, Jake, and Doctor D) out of anger.



* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He is drunk most of the time, and barely remembers anything because of his excessive drinking, but he is capable of being cunning and ruthless if he wants to.
* DirtyCommies: He sometimes talks about fascists and especially capitalists in a derogatory way, and when Bobbie asks him if he was ever or currently is a member of the Communist Party in “Truth or Consequences", Morreski responds with “Duh”.



* {{Leitmotif}}: A stereotypical Russian-sounding accordion track that plays during his confessionals.



* TechnicolorEyes: Has yellowish sclera, possibly representing his alcoholism.



* ADateWithRosiePalms: Does this when she showers, much to Ray and especially Jake’s delight. The latter secretly took pictures of Minou doing the act.

Morreski tells him to not insult his mother, but Doctor D keeps provoking him, resulting into Morreski snapping, losing the niceness challenge and being forced into the cage Doctor D’s in, and then beating up Doctor D.

* Small Name, Big Ego: Probably his other defining trait aside from his perversion. He thinks of himself as a multitalented ladies’ man, although not only does no one actually like him, but it’s implied that he’s still a virgin and lives with his mother. The narration of a video he made to convince the eliminated houseguests to vote for him in the finale summarizes his delusions pretty well:

* BedmateReveal: Twice. In “Random Acts of Niceness”, he wakes up with Rico cuddling up to him. In “Scared Shirtless”, the person that cuddled him was Doctor D.
* BerserkButton: Insulting his mother and merely touching his vodka.
* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: Is on the receiving end of this in “The Breakfree Club”


Added DiffLines:

* GeniusBruiser: Has a plethora of skills due to his countless occupations, and is by far the strongest character physically.
* HiddenDepths: Always drunk, but is also quite wise and has many talents, from medical to culinary.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: In “Random Acts of Niceness”, he lies down on a bunch of heated rocks to help Rico (who Morreski was attracted to at the time) in the obstacle course. Although his back is completely fried, Morreski gets up nonchalantly and effortlessly completes the obstacle course.
* MommasBoy: He is very close to his mother, and any attempt to insult her is a sure way to make his blood boil.
* NationalAnimalStereotypes: A grizzly bear from Russia that wears a fez and constantly drinks vodka.


Added DiffLines:

* What Did I Do Last Night: Wakes up in an empty white room in “Big Brother, Where Art Thou” and like the others, barring Chi Chi, responds with a Precision F-Strike.


Added DiffLines:

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Technically, since her hair is just a collection of wigs.


Added DiffLines:

* NonGameplayElimination: When Bobbie took over, Minou [[spoiler: was the first houseguest to be extincted, but she was only eliminated after Ray accidentally tapped her wheelchair, which led to it rolling down the stairs and out of the mansion, which, to everyone else, represented Minou leaving the show.]]
* OnceAnEpisode: She has a different wig for every episode.


Added DiffLines:

* SacrificialLion: On an almost literal level. In the first challenge with Bobbie, Minou [[spoiler: jumps out of the plane without a parachute and is left with dramatic injuries, revealing that the plane was real this time. She is also the first one to get eliminated, and she doesn’t come back until the finale, showing that Bobbie is serious when she says that being extincted is a permanent consequence with her.]]
* SexSells: Presumably why she’s a contestant and why she was [[spoiler: brought back after getting extincted in “Live and Let Diet”.]]
* SexyCatPerson: An anthropomorphic feline and a constant source of lust for most of the men.
* WhatDidIDoLastNight: Wakes up in an empty white room in “Big Brother, Where Art Thou” and like the others, barring Chi Chi, responds with a Precision F-Strike.
* WrongGenreSavvy: When the houseguests have to jump out of a plane again in “The Breakfree Club”, Minou assumes that it’s fake, like with Claude, so she [[spoiler: jumps out without a parachute. Unfortunately for her, Bobbie’s version of the challenge involved a real plane.]]


Added DiffLines:

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Only wears a red scarf.
* AnimationAgeGhetto; In “2D or not 2D”, he chastises Ray for watching cartoons, which he claims are for “children and thirty-something losers that still live with their parents”. When the cast turns into cartoons, Rico is the most openly unpleased.
* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: Is on the receiving end of this in “The Breakfree Club”


Added DiffLines:

* Fauxreigner: [[spoiler: He fakes his Hispanic accent and shoehorns Spanish words into his vocabulary for the sake of the show.]]
* GratuitousSpanish: He sometimes says Spanish terms to replace their English counterparts when he speaks.
* LargeHam: As part of his campy and passionate personality, he is probably the most emotional member of the cast.


Added DiffLines:

* QueerPeopleAreFunny: His humour mostly revolves around how stereotypically gay he can get.
* The Reveal: [[spoiler: Rico’s real voice has a standard North American accent and he used to not have any stereotypical mannerisms. However, the producers asked him to be campy and speak with “an exotic Latino accent” for the show.]]


Added DiffLines:

* WhatDidIDoLastNight: Wakes up in an empty white room in “Big Brother, Where Art Thou” and like the others, barring Chi Chi, responds with a Precision F-Strike.

Added DiffLines:

* AllMenArePerverts: The most prominent male character and by far the most lustful character.


Added DiffLines:

* BlatantLies: A lot of his confessionals are about his supposedly grand accomplishments that are obviously made up. The most glaring example of this, however, is in “Chi’s Having a Baby”, where he admits to have had sex with Chi Chi “many times, and in many positions”. While Ray and Morreski’s confessionals showed footage of them being intimate with Chi Chi, Jake’s footage is of him humping the couch in his room.
* BodyHorror: Performs liposuction on himself with the help of Ray and Morreski in “Live and Let Diet”, and the results are predictably disgusting. Claude even calls him a loser.
* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: Is at the receiving end of this in “The Breakfree Club”


Added DiffLines:

* CanadaEh?: Not a stereotype, but Claude introduces him as Canadian, and has a notable accent when he says “about” and “sorry”.
* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: In “Ray Against the Machine”, Chi Chi accidentally spots him masturbating twice.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Frequently does it, usually when thinking of Minou or looking at her through a peephole. His particular fantasy when doing this in “Random Acts of Niceness” ends up eliminating him from the challenge.


Added DiffLines:

* ExhaustedEyeBags: Gets these in “You Snooze, You Lose” after not sleeping for six days.
* ExtremeLibido: To the point where his sex doll is the vice Claude confiscates in “Self Helpless”
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Calling him a “friend” is really stretching it, but no one respects him, not even the hosts, to the point where everyone votes for Chi Chi in the finale. Morreski, Doctor D, and Rico cast their votes by either brutally insulting Jake, or saying that Chi Chi “must” win.
* GenreSavvy: Believes he is this, due to his presumed experience with reality shows (he claims to have seen Survivor). While he proves himself to be a capable contestant at times, his ego inevitably leads to his downfall.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: He once saw a movie with “intergalactic lesbians”, and when Minou and Chi Chi were fighting in “Random Acts of Niceness”, Jake tells them to pour themselves with oil and set up a wrestling ring, all while rubbing his nipples.
* HarmlessElectrocution: In “Truth or Consequences”, the lie-detecting chair zaps him after he defecates on it, and he responds “no” after Bobbie asks him if he is going to the bathroom on the chair. Obviously, he’s completely fine after getting shocked.
* IntercourseWithYou: His song in “Dr. D Plays House” is, unsurprisingly, sexually explicit lyrically.


Added DiffLines:

* Lust: His defining trait.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: “Rayland” ends with him being on the receiving end of one of these. The person beating him up? [[spoiler: Literally every other houseguest.]]
* Small Name, Big Ego: Probably his other defining trait aside from his perversion. He thinks of himself as a multitalented ladies’ man, although not only does no one actually like him, but it’s implied that he’s still a virgin and lives with his mother. The narration of a video he made to convince the eliminated houseguests to vote for him in the finale summarizes his delusions pretty well:
-->'''Jake (in the narration)''': "Jake Oswalt. Philanthropist. Socialite. Table Tennis Champion 2003. But who is the legend behind the legend? And what is the legend of this legend’s behind?" (Obviously edited mashups of Morreski, Ray, and Minou’s confessionals that “tell” how much of a hero and good lover Jake is)


Added DiffLines:

* VillainProtagonist: While the whole cast is very flawed, Jake is the closest to being an outright villain. He frequently puts himself above others, never hesitates to sabotage or backstab his fellow houseguests, and his attitude towards Minou is flat out sexual harassment.
* VillainousBreakdown: His response to losing to Chi Chi in the finale is throwing a temper tantrum, telling the rest of the cast that he hates them, bawling in the confessional, attempting to steal the others’ personal belongings, and [[spoiler: installing explosives to blow the mansion up.]]
* WhatDidIDoLastNight?: Wakes up in an empty white room in “Big Brother, Where Art Thou” and like the others, barring Chi Chi, responds with a Precision F-Strike.


Added DiffLines:

* AccidentalMisnaming: Often calls Bobbie other names, like Bethany and Beverly. Although the misnaming can sometimes be intentional.


Added DiffLines:

* BigFancyHouse: [[spoiler: Ultimately wins the mansion, since Chi Chi (the original winner) forfeited it, and Jake (the runner-up) blows it up. After betting 100 dollars (with the odds being 48,000 to 1) on Jake winning, and become rich, Ray rebuilds the mansion and hires Jake as his servant.]]
* BlatantLies: Saying that getting electrocuted didn’t hurt that much in “Truth or Consequences”. Also in the same episode, saying that asking if he destroyed a television is like asking if Jake had a threesome. The lie-detecting chair is quick to interrupt that second lie and electrocute Ray.


Added DiffLines:

* Canada, Eh?: The show never reveals his nationality, but the website reveals where he’s from, and his accent is similar to Jake’s.
* Cuckold: While he was dating Chi Chi, she slept with Doctor D. And Morreski. And Minou.


Added DiffLines:

* FlippingTheBird: Does this several times, most notably in “You Snooze, You Lose” and “Random Acts of Niceness”
* Fratbro: He can be obnoxious, doesn’t take anything seriously and often wants to party.
* HarmlessElectrocution: In “Truth or Consequences”, the lie-detecting chair shocks him four times, but he’s completely fine by the end of the episode.
* HippieParents: His dad is definitely a stereotypical hippie, and considering he said that both he and Ray’s mom share the “peace and love thing”, she probably behaves similarly.
* HowManyFingers?: When [[spoiler: Chi Chi wakes up with amnesia in the finale]], Ray asks her how many fingers he is holding. Said fingers happen to both of his middle fingers.
* HypocriticalHumor: In “Chi’s Having a Baby”, he tells his egg “son” to never do drugs, and then proceeds to smoke his bong.
* InterruptedIntimacy: While he and Chi Chi are having sex, Doctor D barges into their room and starts beating Ray up, thinking that Ray was attacking Chi Chi.
* InterspeciesRomance: He’s an orangutan, and dates Chi Chi (a panda), in “It’s Not Easy Being Chi”.
* Manchild: He’s in his twenties, and is the most immature houseguest by far.
* Mr.ViceGuy: He is nicer than most of the houseguests, but he is still lazy, a bit lecherous, as well as a regular drinker and marijuana smoker.
* NextThingTheyKnew: A minute of flirting with Chi Chi led to her jumping on him and them having sex.
* ThatCameOutWrong: He has a habit of saying inappropriate or homoerotic innuendo when talking to Rico.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeVilified: In “Rayland”, he stages a coup to overthrow “King” Rico.
* ShooOutTheClowns: Subverted. He’s in every episode, never gets extincted during Claude’s run, and while he [[spoiler: ended up placing third during Bobbie’s run, he gets the mansion anyway.]]


Added DiffLines:

* TooDumbToLive: Some of his highlights include lighting a fart on fire off-screen and burning a huge portion of his fur, trying to call the phone company after learning that the phone line was cut off, and what ends up [[spoiler: getting him extincted: losing to Jake in a game of rock-paper-scissors. Keep in mind that Jake is a pig, so he has hooves and can only play ‘rock’. Ray manages to be baited into playing ‘scissors’ three times.]]
* Trekkie: “Truth or Consequences” reveals that he used to dress up as Spock every Halloween, Christmas, and Friday nights. He ends up wearing his Spock costume in the second half of the episode.
* VerbalTic: Likes to call everyone and everything “dude”.
* WhatDidIDoLastNight?: Wakes up in an empty white room in “Big Brother, Where Art Thou” and like the others, barring Chi Chi, responds with a Precision F-Strike.
