{{creatortropes|Tropes related to the King himself:}}
* [[Berserk Button]]: He ''hated'' being called The King.
* [[Big Eater]]: More like ''Huge'' Eater. Elvis (with a pair of Colorado cops) once flew all the way out to [[Denver]] at about midnight to eat a couple of [[wikipedia:Foolchr(27)Fool's Gold Loaf|Fool's Gold Loaves]] (a hollowed-out, lightly-toasted Italian loaf) filled with a whole jar of peanut butter, a whole jar of grape jelly, and an [[Bacon Addiction|entire pound of bacon]]. That's right, we said a couple: he probably ate at least four of the things that night. Since one of the cops was the friend of the guy who owned the restaurant that made the damned things, they got a tray of them wheeled out to the Denver airport, where they and their pilots ate the sandwiches (washed down with Perrier sparkling and ''Dom Perignon'') and flew back to Memphis. Without even leaving the airport.
* [[Bishonen]]: For the first part of his career (to near-[[Stupid Sexy Flanders]] levels). Really, if you didn't catch on through the picture above...
* [[Book Ends]]: "In The Ghetto" starts and ends with a boy being born in the ghetto.
Line 42:
* [[Corpsing]]: Elvis throws in a random [[Mondegreen]] in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5oEb-yAh4A this] live performance of "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" He thought it was funny and could not stop laughing. But after a while, neither could the audience.
* [[Dream Team]]: The Million Dollar Quartet. Elvis met up with [[Jerry Lee Lewis]], [[Johnny Cash]] and [[Carl Perkins]] in Sun Studios in 1956 and they recorded a few songs in an impromptu jam session.
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: Inverted; he ''hated'' being called The King, and would tell anyone who called him this that there was only one King--considering he was a Christian, you can probably guess [[Jesus|who he meant.]]
* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: One colleague said, "I'm straight as an arrow and I got to tell you, you stop, whether you're male or female, to look at him. [[Distracted by the Sexy|He was that good looking]]."
* [[Fan Nickname]]: The lesser-known "Elvis the Pelvis", among others.
