Line 164 ⟶ 166:
* [[Eviler Than Thou]]: He seems to be one of these to Eustace, complete with the glasses (of which Di Lung's are [[Cool Shades|sunglasses]] rather than reading glasses), the chin (which is [[Thin Chin Of Sin|pointy]] while Eustace's is [[Lantern Jaw Of Justice|bulky]]), the [[Bad People Abuse Animals|incredibly abusive relationship with Courage]] (unlike Eustace, Di Lung attempts to actually kill Courage on a fairly regular basis whenever an episode [[A Day In The Limelight|gives him an even remotely major role in itself]]), the [[Annoying Laugh]] (Eustace's is a stereotypical "old man laugh" while Di Lung's is an ''[[Up To Eleven|extremely]]'' stereotypical "Asian laugh"), and even the personality ([[Psychopathic Manchild]] for both of them, with Di Lung seemingly being a [[Royal Brat]] while Eustace is just a regular [[Spoiled Brat]] due to his wife). However, Eustace is ''genuinely'' [[Too Dumb To Live]], whereas Di Lung is an [[Insufferable Genius]] who often ''acts'' [[Too Dumb To Live]] due to [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|how arrogant he is]]. Also, Di Lung and Eustace are both ''massive'' sources of [[Hypocritical Humor]].

* [[Hate Sink]]: ''Especially'' when he is a major villain of an episode.

* [[Insufferable Genius]]
* [[It's All About Me]]: To the point where [[Show Within a Show|he even made his own television show about himself]].
* [[Jerkass]]: Arguably the biggest one in the entire series, to the point where he even makes Eustace look like a saint at times.
* [[Laughing Mad]]: His [[Annoying Laugh]] turns into this whenever he's doing it for extremely sadistic reasons.
* [[Lean and Mean]]
* [[Mad Scientist]]
* [[Narcissist]]: Revealed when [[Hypocritical Humor|"Eustace"]] knocks his photos of himself out of his hands in "Cabaret Courage"; heavily implied when he calls himself "[[Title Drop|perfect]]" while sitting on an Eiffel Tower replica in "Perfect".
* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: Heavily implied by how ridiculously excited he gets over [[Human Sacrifice|getting to yank Muriel's bones out]] (not to mention how much he actually ''does'', in fact, enjoy doing it) in "Squatting Tiger, Hidden Dog".

Line 183 ⟶ 192:
* [[Sunglasses At Night]]: He literally does this in "Fishy Business", "The Nutcracker", and "Cabaret Courage".
* [[Triangle Shades]]
* [[Unsexy Sadist]]: Whenever he gets a major role in an episode; he [[Curb Stomp Battle|makes Mecha-Courage beat the real Courage nearly to death]] for his own amusement in "Courage VS Mecha-Courage", attempts to [[Colony Drop|make a satellite fall onto Courage's house]] (and, of course, [[Bad People Abuse Animals|also performs utterly horrific experiments on Courage himself]]) for his own amusement in "Courage The Fly", and even ''[[Nightmare Fetishist|removes Muriel's skeleton]]'' for his own amusement in "Squatting Tiger, Hidden Dog".
