Improbable Aiming Skills
It's All About Me: Not even his inner ego manage to change his delusion that he is the greatest gift to everyone around him except Lassiter.

Karma Houdini: For all his antics, he gets away scott-free almost every time. The fact that he's genuinely a good guy despite said antics probably contributes a lot to that.

Second Episode Introduction

Bunny Ears Lawyer
Meaningful Name: Debatable weather he’s lived up to it or not, but one has to wonder about a cop named McNabb
Nice Guy: To paraphrase:

McNabb: “I’m sorry Shawn, here I am going on about being blown up and here you are dying of thirst”

- That wasn’t Sarcasm Mode, the guy was being genuine. If that’s not a nice guy I don’t know who is.

Bunny Ears Lawyer: Crazy aside, he's good at his job. Or at least good enough to keep it.
Cloudcuckoolander
Creepy Mortician
Genius Ditz: His status as a Cloudcuckoolander is undeniable...but he is a mortician, which requires some smarts
Furry Fandom: At least according to his choice of websites.

Ax Crazy
Samus Is a Girl
Shotacon: Had a crush on a 12-yr-old Shawn when she was either an older teenager or a young adult.
