Added DiffLines:

* CoolBigBro: Riley ''sees'' him as a surrogate one. He's an awful influence, but he at least genuinely cares about the little guy.


Added DiffLines:

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: A violent, petty street criminal as opposed to his father and grandfather who maliciously exploit people. He also regards the Freemans with actual friendship.

None

Added DiffLines:

* WorldsStrongestMan: Far and away the best fighter in the show and incredibly powerful. His feats include wiping out a dozen cowboy hitmen, bodying Huey in a one on one fight and almost taking down the Hateocracy single-handed. [[spoiler: His death was due to a sneak attack from one of the members, not because Bushido was actually beaten.]]

None

Added DiffLines:

* ComedicSociopathy: His actions are the very definition of a comedic sociopath. He is deplorable and sadistic, but his over the top personality makes him too funny to be considered a HateSink.

None

Added DiffLines:

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Often dogged on by the others in The Lethal Interjection Crew for not having the same ganster mentality, especially Thugnificent, who eventually takes his chain away from him. Ironically, he's the only one to stick by Otis after he loses his fame and fortune, not that Otis shows him any more appreciation.

Added DiffLines:

* UndyingLoyalty: Towards Riley; Ed will do pretty much anything Riley asks of him even if there's nothing in it for him or if it is guaranteed to get him in trouble.

Added DiffLines:

** However, unlike Ed who is completely oblivious to these implications, Rummy will often seem expectant during these moments, only to be annoyed when he notices Ed legitimately means nothing by it.

Added DiffLines:

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Fancies himself a criminal mastermind but, while significantly smarter then his best friend, he is still a trigger-happy nutcase whose plans are riddled with holes.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
None

Added DiffLines:

* VillainDecay: To spite his first appearance building him up as an InvincibleVillain, in "A Date With the Booty Warrior" he's visibly scared of the prisoners in contrast to [[TheStoic Huey]] and [[FearlessFool Riley]] and in "The Red Ball" he gets brutalized by the Chinese team.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
None

Added DiffLines:

* UnskilledButStrong: He attacks Riley in an unrefined, instinctual way, using mighty punches and even swinging his fists downwards like a hammer, as well as throwing him with all of his might at one point, in contrast to how Riley begins dodging his attacks by ducking and weaving like a boxer.

An Axe To Grind is no longer a trope


* AnAxeToGrind: He tries to cut off Huey's legs with an ax to make a public example out of him.
* AxCrazy: Between his short and volatile temper, and being implied to have stabbed a debtor to death in a fit of rage, he's fairly unstable; and unlike most of the humorous sociopaths on the show, [[KnightOfCerebus it's rather scary to watch]]. Hell, near the climax of "Freedomland", we see him when he's [[AnAxeToGrind literally holding an ax]], [[WouldHurtAChild planning to cut the foot off a little boy with it]].

* AnAxeToGrind: While possessing Tom, Stinkmeaner uses an ax to break down a bathroom door while Robert is sitting on the toilet, and then tries to attack him.



* AxCrazy: At first Stinkmeaner was more of a nuisance than a real threat, but after [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge his ghost returns to haunt Robert]], he's actually kind of frightening. Especially when he's [[AnAxeToGrind holding a literal ax to attack Robert with]].

If her hair doesn't change color, then it's not an example. Deleting.


* AdaptationDyeJob: Similarly to Riley, her hair doesn't change color, but it does change styles from a single ponytail to a pair of giant braids. She keeps the HairAntennae, though.

* MightyGlacier: This appears to be his fighting style. He only has to land a few blows to bring Riley down, and they don't have to be particularly fast; Riley's not as good at ducking and waving as he thinks he is.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: He easily defeats Riley due to being much bigger and stronger than he is, which isn't helped that Riley's attempts at ducking and dodging are rendered fruitless by him stopping to show off, leaving the only reason why Riley is able to last so long against him is because of his sheer tenacity.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: He's such a big troublemaker, that not even a threat of being sent to boot camp would change him.

Nice Shoes has been disambiguated per TRS: [1]


-->'''A Pimp Named Slickback:''' I mean, don't get me wrong, A Pimp Named Slickback will put a ''lot'' of things over a hoe. [[OnlyInItForTheMoney Money over a hoe]]? Always. [[NiceShoes Brand new gators over a hoe]]? Absolutely. [[SatiatingSandwich A turkey sandwich with just tomato]]? Guaranteed. But ''homies''? Oh, no. A Pimp Named Slickback don't do ''shit'' for the homies. Let me reiterate: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Don't. Do.]] ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Shit]]'' for the homies. Unless that homie wanna walk that stroll and get that money, the homie ain't gettin' a goddamn thing. And the same goes for brothas, peeps, dudes, fellas, dunnies, comrades, whatever the fuck niggas is callin' each other nowadays. Sounds like some gay shit to me.

Added DiffLines:

* HiddenDepths: He actually honors Riley's demands that he fight him fair and square in "Shinin'", and proceeds to fight him in a relatively honorable way; refraining from stomping him out and yelling at him if he wants to give up, plus, his final move against Riley is to simply push him to the ground after the latter is exhausted from taking a beating from him.

Added DiffLines:

* HateSink: Despite initially seeming like a decently polite, if somewhat behind-the-times businessman, from his second appearance onwards, Ed I shows his true colors as a deeply corrupt asshole willing to exploit children, manipulate poor people, and even ''stage a terrorist attack'' just to make more money.

* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: Surprisingly in spite of being a bully and a brute, he doesn't actually fight dirty or even go overboard when Riley tried to fight him, as he repeatedly let him get up to attack him again and refrained from [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown stomping him out]], and his finishing move was simply to push the exhausted Riley to the ground.
