* BaitAndSwitchComment: When meeting the Lone Gunmen, Morris laughingly tells them that they've been disseminating misinformation that the government has been covertly feeding them. He illustrates this by holding up a headline about Saddam Hussein testing a "mandroid"[[note]] a tautological term, since the word "android" literally means "man-like"[[/note]] army in the Iraqi desert... and then mocks them for believing that ''Saddam Hussein'' exists.

* HarmlessVillain: Morris settles into this before things are done. Turns out he had no role in [[FreakyFridayFlip what occurred]] whatsoever, he was just happy to leave his unfulfilling life behind and try to have some fun with Mulder's. When Scully finally catches on, he spends the rest of the episode at her mercy and resigns himself to goofing off and trolling the Lone Gunmen.
** Funnily enough, the other Men in Black end up being this as well: their commander is a MoleInCharge who becomes a giddy schoolboy at the prospect of ''real'' extraterrestrials; and his shady, ruthless adjutant, probably the darkest member of the group, helps fix the problem in the end to regain his spotless record.
* HiddenDepths: As much of a snake as he is, Morris does deeply love his wife and kids, and seeing them fall apart over a misunderstanding causes him to come clean at last and [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther tenderly recall his happiest moments as a family man]].
