FoxTrot/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: In his more mature moments.

* [[Big Eater]]: He and Roger frequently tag-team on Thanksgiving to see who can eat more:

** As for which one is the reigning champion, it should be noted that on a particularly gluttonous visit to a fast food restaurant, Peter is moaning in pain with the rest of the family...while Roger notes with sudden interest that the restaurant serves both apple and cherry pies.

** Speaking of Thanksgiving, he also managed to eat two thanksgiving dinners (one with his Family, another with Denise's family), with Roger congratulating on deciding to do both, while Andy, shocked that he would actually have two thanksgiving dinners, [[You're Insane!|half asked and half exclaimed if he was insane]].

** His status as this also cost his family any food they would have, with them being lucky to get even a small amount of food if he allowed it. One strip in particular had them going to a buffet line and they let Peter be first of his family. Predictably, he ended up cleaning up the entire buffet booth before his family could even get the chance to pick their meal, resulting in Roger irritably vowing that the next buffet they attend, Peter's going ''last.''

** It also got himself into trouble as well. As noted in the [[Burger Fool]] trope below, Peter, whenever he works at the local theater, would sometimes eat food while working at the Snack Bar:

'''Peter:''' It was a slow day! I was working the Snack Bar! }}

* [[Butt Monkey]]: The rest of the family often get these moments, but Peter seems to have the most Butt Monkey moments.

* [[Dreadful Musician]]: It's repeatedly implied that he's horrible at singing and playing guitar, particularly when the guitar is turned [[Up to Eleven]].

* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: This led to a [[Crazy Awesome]] moment when Jason needed to reach light speed in order to Time Travel because of Eileen (long story), giving us the following conversation:

'''Peter''': You're talking nine digit numbers. I've only flirted with four. }}

** And another:

'''Jason''': We were going much too fast too be seen. }}

** There was also the time Paige was watching Jason play ''Carmageddon'' and she comments that this looks oddly familiar. Cue Peter coming in, asking if anybody wants to go to the mall.

* [[Funny Money]]: Jason gets paid $10, adds it to the money he had under his mattress, and announces that he's a millionaire in Turkish lira.

* [[Gasshole]]:

'''Paige''': You know, my friends at school think I make these stories up. }}

* [[Gender Bender]]: In a parody of Franz Kafka's ''The Metamorphosis'', Jason transforms into a mini-Paige. It was [[All Just a Dream]].

** The most extreme was when his math teacher assigned the chapter review as homework, so he did all of them. In several textbooks, up to advanced calculus.

* [[Parental Favoritism]]: Jason is the 'younger child' example of this, mainly because he does so well at school (to the point where Roger took Paige telling him she got an A on a test to the fact it was Jason). Another example is in a strip where Jason gets Peter into trouble by reprogramming his cell phone so he called Andy when thinking it was Denise:

** Jason does occasionally get beaten up by Peter or Paige. The more magnificent pranks he pulls against them leave him safer.

* [[Revenge]]: Implied to be the main motivation for making Paige his favorite target. See [[Freudian Excuse]].

* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: She got a non-speaking cameo in 2008 and didn't appear again until 2011. But at least she eventually returned, unlike most of this strip's secondary characters.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: In reaction to Jason. Some prime examples come from the arc in which Jason is upset that he ''didn't'' get a mushy Valentine's Day card from her, then spends weeks [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|trying to cover up]] anything that sounds like him liking her. In one strip, he says that he came to a realization that he was wrong after seeing the movie ''[[Titanic]]'':

'''Eileen''': More and more I see the wisdom in keeping our relationship hidden. }}

* [[Official Couple]]: {{spoiler|Subverted. She and Jason ''try'', but it becomes clear within weeks that Jason just isn't mature enough for a relationship yet. They manage to still remain friends, however.}}
