In the commercial for his online journalism course, he misses the good old days (at least by his reckoning) when "News used to be a bunch of guys who look like me huddled around a desk at a Page One meeting deciding what the news was," then holds up a smart phone and snidely says, "This little fucker changed all of that." For no apparent reason other than Daniel seems to enjoy being a jerk, he tends to interrupt and goad Louis de Pointe du Lac ("Provocation" as the latter calls it) even though it's dangerous for him to do so because Louis nearly killed him in 1973 for being disrespectful. Rashid has always been polite in Daniel's presence, yet Daniel purposely disrupts Rashid's prayers without apologizing, and later insults him as "the rent boy." At least some of Daniel's surly disposition stems from his Parkinson's disease ("I never pass a comfortable night"), plus he's twice divorced and is estranged from his two daughters.

* Alma from ''Fanfic/ALittleDinnerScandal'' seems to use Mirabel as someone to vent her frustrations on, anything Mirabel does or doesn't do breaking out into a lecture.
--> '''Mirabel''': It is... As if she was stomping on my toes in steel-capped boots. Every time I do anything apart from hiding in my room, she's on me like a hawk on a chicken. Some days it feels like I'm even breathing wrong. And ''if'' I hide, then I'll hear it during dinner, since it means I'm useless and being of no help to anyone.

Manuals for the first couple of ''Donkey Kong Country'' games explain that he refuses to go adventuring, despite his experience and wisdom (instead giving hints or selling useful items to the playable Kongs -- while insulting them every step of the way), because of his grumpy old ape-ness, but after getting kicked out of his home in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryTropicalFreeze'' he apparently gets over it.

He loves his daughter dearly and regrets how their relationship ended up (she thinks he doesn't trust her to wear the Ant-Man suit.
