* KnightOfCerebus: A very weak example. The main "villains" of the movie consist of an adulterer and her abusive GoldDigger mother, but Chris-R stands out in terms of villainy due to being TheAggressiveDrugDealer who almost kills Denny, [[WouldHurtAChild who's pretty much a child]]. His acting is also decently terrifying compared to the main cast, but the sheer absurdity of his only scene makes it hard to take him seriously.

* KidAppealCharacter: The only kid-like character in the movie (he is 18 years old but looks and acts ''much'' younger). Not that kids are even supposed to be seeing this movie, which is rated R, making him even ''more'' inexplicable.

** Emphasized in the deleted alleyway version of his scene, where he approaches Denny with an almost friendly-sounding "Denny boy!" and asks him how his basketball shot is coming along. Like in the final version, things go south when he asks Denny for his money.

Ambiguous Disorder is not a trope anymore, but a redirect to a YMMV entry.


* AmbiguousDisorder: Downplayed. She shows many sociopathic tendencies but none of them are specific to any known disorder. It's left ambiguous if she actually does have some kind of social disorder or if her behavior is the result of her mother's [[EvilMatriarch morally dodgy]] advice and parenting, though Peter seems to think it's the former.



* AmbiguousDisorder: Seems ignorant of social norms and generally acts much younger than his apparent age (roughly 16-18), at one point leaping into bed with Johnny and Lisa as they are about to have sex. In an interview, Wiseau admitted that Denny is "retarded, a little bit", but the actor was never informed of this.
