* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Cameron, one of Bibi's hostages is well-loved among the fans due to being hilariously calm and collected despite being rigged with explosives, and provides quite a few hilarious lines.

** Slappy is also among the game's most popular Psychopaths due to his unique design (A demented mascot riding around on roller-skates while dual-wielding flamethrowers) and for being genuinely creepy and terrifying. Him being sharing a voice with Light Yagami also helps.

** Carl Schliff as well. What do you get when you cross a ridiculously determined mailman, the voice of Ed Edd and Eddy's Double D, a shotgun, and awesome battle music? A hilariously memorable psycho, that's what.
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: Amber and Crystal Bailey for sure, given how they're scantily-clad, incestuous, and very flirtatious. Bibi Love as well for some, others view her as the trope below.

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: You know that [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXRCf9LbLM0 commercial] where [[Michael Bay]] pronounces everything "awesome"? He starts off by calling a tiger an "awesome pussycat". Not only can Chuck give Snowflake the tiger to Katey as a gift, she says, "That was an AWESOME gift!"

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: '''"ATTABOY 8-BALL! KEEP THAT FLANK COVERED!"'''

* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Whenever you end up giving TK some Zombrex after he's been bitten by a zombie, do you know how he thanks Chuck? {{spoiler|He kidnaps Chuck's daughter Katey as well as his ally Stacey and attempts to lower them into a pit full of zombies.}} Most psychos don't even do anything as sick as that and ''they're'' the crazy ones!
** A more minor example is Leon mowing down an innocent bystander before his boss fight for the purpose of pissing off Chuck.
* [[Most Annoying Sound]]: The "voices" of female survivors Cinda and Tammy, as well as a couple of other young female survivors which share the same sound bank. It becomes ''especially'' evident when you're fighting [[Evil Chef|Antoine,]] as Cinda does nothing but ''constantly whine and complain throughout the entire fight.''

** Pretty much any of Leon's taunts qualify, given that he'll usually insult you then either bowl you over or simply speed off into the distance.

** People REALLY hate Antoine, due to him being able to block machine gun bullets, severe [[Hitbox Dissonance]], able to use projectiles, and heal himself (though that's a weak point), as well as [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|a really annoying hostage whining]].

* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]: The Twins, which [[Dual Boss|attack you at the same time]], [[Lightning Bruiser|move around extremely fast]], [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|cheat pretty blatantly in regards to hit detection when you melee battle them,]] and are the first story critical bosses in the game. Needless to say, they're [[That One Boss]] to many people... [[Combat Pragmatist|unless you just grab the shotgun and light machine gun in the Yucatan and blow one of them away]] (the other one will commit suicide).

* [[The Woobie]]: Chuck Greene, the poor guy is framed for Fortune City's outbreak, and he's treated like crap by a lot of people for it, and he's having to struggle to find his daughter enough Zombrex to last before the military rescues them. The fact that he's a widower certainly doesn't help at all.

The fact that he's a widower certainly doesn't help at all.
** Ted also counts: he's been mocked by people for his whole life for being mentally challenged, with his only friend being his tiger Snowflake. And he ends up dying when Chuck ticks him off with an unintentional "slow" remark while he was trying to find food for Snowflake.

* [[Scrappy Mechanic]]: Mainly averted, as ''Off the Record'' removes many of the annoying issues that players had with ''Dead Rising 2''. Frank can inject Zombrex anywhere, and doesn't need to return to the Safe House each time (since there's no Katey waiting there for it). Stacey's messages are now fully voiced and broadcast over a wireless earpiece, so you can listen to them without interrupting combat. Finally, and probably most significantly, they actually added a checkpoint system that saves every time you change locations, so you don't end up losing an hour or so of gameplay if you get killed.

* [[Internet Backdraft]]: A partial victim of one - Thanks to the cancellation of ''Mega Man Legends 3'', a lot of people are ''pissed'' that Capcom's policy seems to be to rerelease games instead of making new ones, even though this is common with [[Updated Rerelease|numerous other video game companies]]. - It's not helped that both this and ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3|Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3]]'' were both announced within months of the original games release. To make matters worse, ''UMvC3'' is coming out in the same calendar year as it's original release, whilst ''Off the Record'' avoids this by two weeks.

* [[That One Boss]]:The bosses all got a power up for this one, but god DAMN the [[Eagle Land|Redneck Snipers]] take the cake.
