* PastimesProvePersonality: The family have a variety of eccentric hobbies, often of the creative or intellectual variety but also including various outright dangerous ones, that are used to show their unconventional approach to life.
** Gomez fences, but in the 60s show his competence varies from episode-to-episode between "OK" and "comedically bad". He's a rich eccentric with an interest in his family's history as pirates and outlaws. In the films he is a highly skilled genuine badass with a sword. Either way his interest in such things shows he sees himself as an adventurer. Of course, as he's an ''Addams'', he doesn't pay much attention to the rules of modern fencing and at least sometimes uses sharp swords rather than fencing weapons.

** Morticia paints, and fits the stereotype as described on the page near-perfectly: soft-spoken, intelligent and educated, unconventional and somewhat in her own world, and with semi-frequent TrueArtIsIncomprehensible jokes though she is also capable of painting recognisable non-abstract pictures. She also attempts to play various instruments but tends not to stick with any one for long enough to get good at it (in the films she is actually good at the violin--the films are not in the same continuity but the characters are older in them, so it could be interpreted as her finally having chosen one and stuck with it). In one episode she writes stories, again presenting her as a creative intellectual type; her stories also showcase her strange outlook on the world.
** Lurch playing (depending on version) harpsichord, piano, or organ shows HiddenDepths to a character who could be assumed to be an unintelligent brute. Gomez, meanwhile, seems to be able to read and write sheet music, so might actually know how to play, but is only ever seen playing (on guitar or harpsichord) his own compositions, which are tuneless and dissonant--similar to his approach to sports, he likes to ignore the rules and make up his own approach to doing things which makes no sense to anyone else.
** Morticia, as the more patient and cool-headed of the two, always beats Gomez at chess.
** Gomez and Morticia both enjoy reading and especially like the work of Creator/EdgarAllanPoe, as expected given their gothic tastes. Wednesday takes after them and had The Raven memorised as a baby. Fester and Pugsley are less interested in reading.
** Gomez's extensive collection of weapons, and the taxidermy around their home, is viewed as offputting by most visitors.
