- Deconstructed: Evulz is stereotyped by others as being funny due to his Goofy Print Underwear, and everyone pokes fun at him due to his funny clothing. Evulz encounters the Despair Event Horizon and eventually frustrated with everyone's attitude toward him, having every instance of losing his patience overblown and attributed to everyone who makes insults about his embarrassing underwear.
- Reconstructed: However, when Evulz meets his Dragon, he becomes calm.
- Played For Laughs: Evulz suffers a Comedic Underwear Exposure, which reveals that his boxer shorts are full of flowers, rainbows and unicorns. All of his Mooks start laughing... and then Hiro in full sincerity compliments him for his cute boxers and asks where he can buy a pair.
