Big Ego, Hidden Depths: Difference between revisions

* The episode of ''[[Taxi]]'' in which Louie loses his job after peeking at Elaine through a hole in the lady's room.

* Happens often on ''[[The Colbert Report]]'', and usually results in the character talking himself out of it: "Snap out of it, Colber'''t'''!"

* Charles on [[M*A*S*H (TV)|Mash]] is usually the character that gets this treatment. Examples range from secretly giving candy to the orphanage on Christmas to sitting up with Hawkeye when his father is undergoing surgery back in the states to having an emotional meltdown when the Chinese [[PO Ws]] he was teaching Mozart to got killed.

 

** Many episodes (particularly ones where the Xiaolin Dragons have strained relations) suggest that Omi fears being alone and believes that if he is perfect, he will be surrounded by adulating friends and admirers

** As shown during {{spoiler|the events leading to his betrayal}}, Rai becomes angry whenever he feels helpless or inadequate. It's straight-up stated in "Dream Stalker" that his lazy, jerk-ish attitude results from his fear of not being good enough and letting others down.
