Basic Trope: A character who is a gigantic asshole.
- Straight: Report Siht is an asshole to Alice and Bob and their friends.
- Exaggerated: ...and to Bob's cat, and Satan, and God.....
- He takes his arseholery so far he crosses the Moral Event Horizon.
- Complete Monster
- Justified: He's Surrounded by Idiots.
- He's just grumpy.
- He has a disorder that affects his impulse control.
- He's the Butt Monkey
- Inverted: Self-Deprecation
- Subverted: Jerk with a Heart of Gold
- Jerkass Facade
- Type A Tsundere
- Report Siht actually didn't even realize he was being a jerk, either due to having No Social Skills or the other person not being indicative enough. Once he realizes what he did wrong, he tries to make amends for it.
- Double Subverted: Jerk with a Heart of Jerk
- Parodied: He's an asshole to everyone and everything in the known universe.
- Deconstructed: Putting a lot of effort into being an asshole drives away everyone.
- Or, he's an asshole, but doesn't mean to be, causing grief for everyone.
- Reconstructed: He can't care less.
- He also can't care less, or is using it as a crutch to insult people even more.
- Zig Zagged: He's only like this when grumpy.
- Averted: None of the characters are jerks to the point where it defines their character.
- Enforced: "Let's make a character extremely unpleasant - it'll give the fandom a punching bag. That'll be fun."
- "He's a bad guy - we need to make him even more evil to the audience."
- "We need an anti-hero - this is one of the more obvious routes."
- "This is a comedy series based off insulting people."
- Lampshaded: "He's one of those House-wannabes."
- Invoked: Jerkass Facade
- Exploited: A villain diverts attention from his plans by directing everyone's antipathies to a resident asshole.
- A hero tricks a villain into thinking it's the jerk who's been causing him so much trouble.
- Defied: The character makes a conscious effort to be likable.
- Discussed: "Why is he such a fucking asshole?"
- Conversed: "You probably wouldn't like him." "Let me guess - an asshole, or a snarky asshole?"
- Played For Drama: Jerkass Woobie
Hey, dipshit, drag your ass back to Jerkass. It's just as terrible as you.
