31
32* AnnoyingLaugh: He has a distinct but annoying laugh.
33* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Charlie.
34* MagicalNegro: Louis can be seen as this type of character. His entire story arc is about Charlie [[spoiler:and in the end it's revealed that he is either responsible or has played a role in every good thing that happened in Charlie's life]]. Because of Louis, Charlie was saved from drowning as a child, got the idea to [[spoiler:use the berries for a new line of shampoo]] and met Jessie [[spoiler:who he later married]]. Even the misfortune [[spoiler:ended up saving their lives and got Charlie's draconian, mobster stepfather and step-brother convicted]].
35* ManChild: Louis pretty much hasn't matured a day since he saved Charlie's life at 8 years old. Charlie is also only so much more mature.
36* OhCrap: Louis gets a big one when he [[spoiler: accidentally shoots Blue with the tranquilizer gun while he's flying the plane]].
37* UncleTomFoolery: He is a Black comedic character.
