!!''Le Gentleman d'Epsom'' provides examples of:

* AngryChef: Gaspard Ripeux's EstablishingCharacterMoment is him berating his staff for not delivering an outstanding service. Even funnier, this is shot from "The Commandant" and Charly's point of view and we only see Ripeux miming his anger with cartoonish sounds.
* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: Gaspard Ripeux is TheMark for [[ConMan "The Commandant"]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Comments on his "weak heart" and he needs to avoid "stressful situations".
-->'''"The Commandant":''' Come tomorrow with me at Chantilly.\\
'''Gaspard Ripeux:''' Alas...\\
'''"The Commandant":''' Why "alas"?\\
'''Gaspard Ripeux:''' My thrombosis ''[taps his chest]'' I have chicken pulsations... I have been forbbiden to have any high emotions and the doctor even told me if I [[spoiler:go to a horse racing , I might die!]]
* {{Greed}}: This how "The Commandant" manipulate Gaspard Ripeux to bet another time.
-->'''Gaspard Ripeux:''' ''[when asked about gaining more money]'' Of course! I think about it every night! Why are you asking me that?\\
''[later]''\\
'''Gaspard Ripeux:''' I want to eat it all up! Rent chest, big chest! I WANT EVERYTHING!
* HilariousInHindsight : After Ripeux claims he has tricked "The Commandant".
-->'''Gaspard Ripeux:''' The primary school inspector remarked me and told me "Ripeux, you will be an actor.And i could have been!
* ThePerfectionist: Right before the dishes are served, Ripeux insists that he still check them:
-->'''Gaspard Ripeux:''' ''[after tasting]'' You call that a "medium-rare steak"? It is brown!\\
''[later]''\\
'''Gaspard Ripeux:''' A bechamel isn't a pile of mud... bring it back!
* ProfessionalButtKisser: As always, De Funès as Ripeux is over-the-top slimy to his customers and odious towards his employees. Especially visible when "The Commandant" happens to be knowledgeable in horse racing.
-->'''Gaspard Ripeux:''' When I like someone, I would like them to like me back. I was like that since I was a child.
* RagsToRiches: An off comment seems to imply Gaspard Ripeux cames from a very modest family of Auvergne before becoming a Restaurateur.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Gaspard Ripeux does a cardiac arrest when the horse he has bet 850,000 Francs loses after he though he would win 4-5 millions]].
-->'''Gaspard Ripeux:''' ''[in a delusional state]'' Minotaur, Minotaur! It will be great! I eat it up! I have the nose for this kind of business!
