* [[Acceptable Ethnic Targets]]: The token Irish immigrant is a filthy drunk.
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Plenty. Mostly centering around [[Cowboy Cop|Agent]] [[Knight Templar|Edgar]] [[Shoot the Dog|Ross.]] Is he a good man whose callous behavior comes from his never ending fight against truly ''fucked up'' criminals that plague the wild west, or is he a sociopathic thug who uses law and order as an excuse for his unpleasant behavior?
* [[Base Breaker]]: While many consider Herbert Moon the [[Ensemble Darkhorse]], many hate him to an extent that they consider him this. He is truly the love him or hate him character of Red Dead Redemption. {{spoiler|He makes a return in Undead Nightmare to show us more of what we love about him, his homophobia, antisemetic, xenophobic, sexist and racist attitudes. Then you get to see zombies eat him.}}
* [[Catharsis Factor]]: After {{spoiler|Edgar Ross smugly betrays John Marston to his death and mocks him in front of his son on top of that, pumping his guts full of lead at the end of the game makes having to play as [[The Scrappy|Jack]] worth it.}}
* [[Critical Research Failure]]: Everything Professor MacDougal does is rife with this, as a representation of "science" during that time.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]:
Line 45 ⟶ 46:
** A nice time saving bug is that you can skip the skinning animation by having your horse stand on top of the animal carcass.
* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: Can happen when you hear certain wild animals for the first time but can't see them, and they don't sound too happy to meet you. Recognizing what animals made the sounds lead to [[Oh Crap]] moments. Also, sometimes a woman will scream ''bloody murder'', and you know something is terribly wrong.
* [[He's Just Hiding]]: {{spoiler|Dutch Van Der Linde. Despite taking a very clear, nasty fall that he had no way of surviving on-screen, there are a surprising amount of fans who like to believe that he was faking his own death.}}
* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Dutch van der Linde is an insane, murderous outlaw who will happily kill at the drop of a hat. But it's clear when you corner him that he's a broken man whose mind has been destroyed by the ongoing death of the outlaw lifestyle he loves so much. And if you've played the second game, it's even sadder to see him like this because it's clear that {{spoiler|losing Arthur Morgan, Hosea, and so many of his loyal gang members thanks to Micah Bell's manipulations and his own flaming narcissism}} also contributed to his downward spiral
* [[Literary Agent Hypothesis]]: Some speculate that the story is the story Jack writes about his father, as seen in the WMG section.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Depending on your [[Alternative Character Interpretation|interpretation of her character]], {{spoiler|Clara La Guerta, who is a pregnant girl who says she was impregnated by her employer, Harold Thornton, then thrown out on the street with her child. You go to get some money from Harold to support her, but he denies it, challenging you to a duel. He dies. Upon giving her the money, she is clearly distraught at the news of Harold's death. A few days later, you see Mrs Thornton. Clara apparently turned up to laugh at Harold's funeral, and Mrs Thornton casts doubt on the whole story. Thus, the possibility of Clara being a lying, vengeful bitch who manipulated you into killing an innocent man for no reason whatsoever is a very real one. Her status as a minor [[Karma Houdini]] makes this possibility even worse, and indeed your journal suggests that you'd been conned.}}
Line 56 ⟶ 58:
*** Elaboration on that?
** And over on [[GameFAQs]] they seem to have this nasty habit of interrupting people mid-sent'''''* COUGAR'D* '''''
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: While he was still a dick in the prequel, Bill Williamson wasn't irredeemably awful. That changed by the time of this game, where he's lost himself to the [[Rape, Pillage and Burn]] mindset of infamous criminals such as Micah Bell and the O'Driscoll gang.
** Edgar Ross also crosses this by {{spoiler|sending his men to the Marston residence to kill John even after he's helped them eliminate the remnants of Dutch's gang. What really drives it home as a shitty thing to do is the smug look on Ross's face as he smokes a cigar right after John dies.}}
* [[Most Annoying Sound]]: Any citizen crying for help for the 50th time.
** Say it with me: "WORK, YA DAMN NAG!" {{spoiler|The combination of Jack's rude attitude to his horses when compared to John's, the weird volume spike reserved for it alone, and the sheer ''frequency'' you'll be hearing it, it contributed a lot to Jack Marston's enormous hatedom during the game's early years.}}
* [[Paranoia Fuel]]:
** Cougars, the ninjas of the west.
