For your convenience, we have provided a handy chart for easily differentiating between this trope, [[Cloudcuckoolander]], and [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]].

▲What separates this character from being a plain old
For example: let's say [[The Chosen One]]'s best friend, Ed Smith, wears a traffic cone on his head. Said traffic cone is spray painted metallic purple and has a grinning chimpanzee's face painted on the front. And Ed ''insists'' that you call it Sheldon. Yet despite this, Ed is very loyal to [[The Chosen One]] and can hold his own against the army of [[Mooks]]. So far, he seems like your average [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]], right? The traffic cone is an eccentric trait if there ever was one, but it's not necessarily why he's liked by the audience. Now suppose about ten episodes into the series, the [[Big Bad]] decides to drop a bomb on the Hero's [[Doomed Hometown|city]], and only Ed can do something to stop it. If Ed were to catch the bomb in his hand then kick it back to the Big Bad's jet, thus destroying them both, he's still not Crazy Awesome, he's a [[Badass]] [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]].
