* OverlyNervousFlopSweat: Often becomes sweaty for seemingly no reason. 'Videos' has him becoming more and more sweaty and frantic as he tries to explain '[[InsistentTeminology the crux of the short]]' to Jake.

* MultipleChoiceBackstory: Many of his backstories directly contradict eachother (Especially of note the one where he claims to have missed most of his childhood after being kidnapped), but all of them feature his dad being a horribly abusive asshole, which can be assumed correct judging from everything about Amir.

* AffectionateNickname: Often calls Amir 'buddy', even when angry at him.



* ApologeticAttacker: When he punches Jake in 'Airline Scam', he immediately apologizes, one of the few times he ever does.



* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}

to:

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}TheCuckoolanderWasRight: Numerous times. On top of his LivingLieDetector instances above, many of the idiotic theories or beliefs he hold turn out to be correct in some way or another.



* ExtremeOmnivore: He regales Jake with his story of eating multiple expired foodstuffs in 'Baby', and 'Breakfast' is all about his journey to eat one of every meal from a nearby breakfast diner.



* HairTriggerTemper: Along with other MoodSwinger traits.

to:

* HairTriggerTemper: Along with other MoodSwinger traits. When it isn't begging, his go-to response to people contradicting him or things not going his way is physical violence or threats thereof.


Added DiffLines:

* InnocentBigot: Generally not, but at least towards Homophobia; he believes, until Jake corrects him, that gay marriage is bad because straight people are being forced into it. When he's corrected, he grows confused and wonders why else someone could hate it.


Added DiffLines:

* InsufferableImbecile: Amir is painfully, painfully stupid, and any attempts to teach him will always fall flat on their face. His confidently incorrect assertions are among many things that piss Jake off.


Added DiffLines:

* JerkassHasAPoint: Sarah agrees with him on one instance that Jake has an annoying habit of interrupting people in their conversation.


Added DiffLines:

* LIsForDyslexia: Amir is awful at spelling, and sincerely believes Jake is spelled 'Jjkae'.


Added DiffLines:

* MultipleChoiceBackstory: Many of his backstories directly contradict eachother (Especially of note the one where he claims to have missed most of his childhood after being kidnapped), but all of them feature his dad being a horribly abusive asshole, which can be assumed correct judging from everything about Amir.


Added DiffLines:

* NoIndoorVoice: Especially considering most episodes take place in an office, Amir talks extremely loudly when he's not straight up screaming. 'Fired' lampshades this by showing a pan around the office during a standard Jake and Amir argument, showing how bothered everyone else is by their volume.


Added DiffLines:

* PatheticallyWeak: Amir's fight with Jake in 'Airline Scam' is pathetic to watch, and he breaks his arm trying to do one parkour stunt in 'Parkour'.

Added DiffLines:

* BeenThereShapedHistory: He's stated to be the true identity of Qanon, an account he ran as a joke without realizing how seriously people took it.

* PingPongNaivete

to:

* PingPongNaivetePingPongNaivete: His regard for social situations goes up in episodes where he switches StraightMan with Jake. In these episodes, Jake is often physically and verbally abusive to him, but Amir continues to believe the two are best friends.

Added DiffLines:

* SycophantServant: To Jake from time to time. When Jake innocuously asks him to 'Do me a favor' in 'Kobayashi', Amir immediately begins listing possible massages he'd be willing to give.
