* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Thinks he knows a lot about sports when he does not actually know much about it.

to:

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Thinks He clearly thinks that he knows a lot everything there is to know about sports and fancies himself on an authority on what needs to be done to support "the team", when he does not actually know much about it.his knowledge is restricted to the incredibly obvious, and his advice is equal parts unworkable, delusional, and just plain disgusting. A key example would be his petition to install urinal troughs in front of stadium seats - which would almost certainly end with drunk sports fans missing their mark and pissing all over the fans in front of them.



* CampGay: Extremely flamboyant and energetic, not to mention very open about being gay - the "Maurice Mansion" being reportedly the site of many an orgy. Combined with RealMenWearPink, as he loves gardening.

* SitcomArchnemesis: He's regularly pestered by a caller asking about "tubers and root vegetables," to the point of grumbling "[[OhNoNotAgain God, not you again]]" when he next phones in. Maurice is in the habit of not only threatening him, but also directs him to a calendar featuring naked photos of Maurice while "[[RagingStiffie blossomiing]]"... and apparently, this bewildering relationship continues for the next ten years, as the caller can be heard on Chatterbox FM in Liberty City, pestering Lazlow about tubers and claiming that Maurice lied about making an impossible-sounding hybrid plant.

* HatedByAll: Implied. His pedophilia becomes so evident in his second broadcast that his show receives no calls for roughly half the program, and the Announcer indicates that the program has received a Cease And Desist letter. Later, after Pedeaston finally gets arrested, a charity website is set up to raise money for his bail... and only raises twenty-three dollars out of a hundred thousand.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Audience disgust aside, he apparently manages to avoid getting arrested by government agents during ''San Andreas.'' However, by the events of ''GTA IV,'' his illegal activities have finally caught up with him, resulting in him being arrested in Bali, being tried for child molestation, found guilty, and going to prison. He still appears to have a star on the Vinewood boulevard in ''GTA V'', but that's it.

* ObliviouslyEvil: Assuming he's not trying wallpaper over his crimes, quite a few of his remarks indicate that he genuinely doesn't understand that his acts of sex tourism were both illegal and morally abhorrent, even refusing to acknowledge that Avrindar was being kept as a SexSlave.




to:

* UndiscriminatingAddict: His website in ''IV'' notes that he enjoys opium binges, though his remarks on the radio show also suggest that he's also an occasional heroin user or is mainlining cocaine.



* UnreliableNarrator: He mentions having declined industry offers like being part of New Edition either due to simple disagreements or seeing the jobs as beneath him. Given how desperate he sounds trying to hype himself up in other interludes, he might be skewering the truth.

* ConspiracyTheorist

to:

* ConspiracyTheoristConspiracyTheorist: Of the alien invasion kind, either spouting that they're landing soon or they already have and have infiltrated the elite.



* {{Afrofuturism}}: As you'd expect from a character voiced by the originator of P-funk.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Even by the standards of the [=DJs=] in the game she is particularly full of herself.
* LackOfEmpathy: Appears to treat basic human decency like its a chore. She even treats the possible death of her own mother this way.
* LazyBum: Seems to take pride in her laziness. She only does her radio job because she likes hearing herself talk.

It is implied that Ho Chi was a guy.


* PrisonRape: By the time of his second appearance on WCTR, he's acquired a prison bitch he calls "Ho Chi" and is currently forcing the guy to speak in JapaneseRanguage "like an Asian girl" or end up dead "like the last Ho Chi." Despite his hard-right political leanings, the fact that he's had sex with a man appears to have eluded him, so it's not certain if he's operating on some kind of mental gymnastics or if he genuinely believes that the unlucky cellmate is really his female Vietnamese sidekick.

* ShellShockedVeteran: While he's just an actor who has never served in the military, he certainly acts like he's been traumatized in some overseas conflict, though it's more likely to be psychosis brought about by drug abuse. In particular, he alternatively mourns for his Vietnamese sidekick Ho Chi after she was hurt in ''Exploder'' and implies that he murdered her in the real world at some point.
