Courage the Cowardly Dog/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 163:
* [[Brainy Brunette]]
* [[Breakout Character]]
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: In "Courage VS Mecha-Courage" and "Squatting Tiger, Hidden Dog".
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Watch where you're going, ya foo'!"
* [[The Chew Toy]]: Somewhat. What makes his appearances entertaining to watch (despite him being an awful person) is the fact that he usually gets just enough time to say his [[Catch Phrase|catchphrase]] and then suffer some kind of either cartoony or outright lethal injury.
* [[Colony Drop]]: He attempts to use this tactic on Courage's house in "Courage The Fly".
--> '''Di Lung:''' I'm gonna make a satellite fall, [[You Fool!|ya]] '''[[You Fool!|FOOL!]]'''
* [[Cool Car]]: His appears to be a red vintage Corvette...now if only he would stop [[Running Gag|wrecking it]].
* [[Cool Shades]]: His version of Eustace's [[Sinister Shades]].
* [[Dirty Coward]]: Especially when he gets caught "[[Human Sacrifice|de-boning]]" Muriel and pretends that he was "re-boning" her.
* [[Eviler Than Thou]]: He seems to be one of these to Eustace, complete with the glasses (of which Di Lung's are [[Cool Shades|sunglasses]] rather than reading glasses), the chin (which is [[Thin Chin Of Sin|pointy]] while Eustace's is [[Lantern Jaw Of Justice|bulky]]), the [[Bad People Abuse Animals|incredibly abusive relationship with Courage]] (unlike Eustace, Di Lung attempts to actually kill Courage on a fairly regular basis whenever an episode [[A Day In The Limelight|gives him an even remotely major role in itself]]), the [[Annoying Laugh]] (Eustace's is a stereotypical "old man laugh" while Di Lung's is an ''[[Up To Eleven|extremely]]'' stereotypical "Asian laugh"), and even the personality ([[Psychopathic Manchild]] for both of them, with Di Lung seemingly being a [[Royal Brat]] while Eustace is just a regular [[Spoiled Brat]] due to his wife). However, Eustace is ''genuinely'' [[Too Dumb To Live]], whereas Di Lung is an [[Insufferable Genius]] who often ''acts'' [[Too Dumb To Live]] due to [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|how arrogant he is]]. Also, Di Lung and Eustace are both ''massive'' sources of [[Hypocritical Humor]].
* [[Flat Character]]: He is a stereotypical "rich Asian jerk" and practically nothing else.
* [[Freeze-Frame Bonus]]: Ma Bagge's and the Dancing Rats' reactions to [[Watch Where You're Going|his]] [[You Fool!|catchphrase]] in "Scuba-Scuba Doo" and "The Nutcracker"; Ma attempts to attack him with her bare hands, while the Rats [[Death Glare|angrily glare]] at him.
* [[Geek Physiques]]: He has a downright-''horrifically'' skinny one, adding to his stereotypical Asian-ness.
* [[Genius Ditz]]: He may generally act like a '''complete''' idiot (especially when delivering his infamous [[Catch Phrase|catchphrase]]), but when it comes to science and engineering, he is '''absurdly''' talented to say the '''least'''.
* [[Gonk]]: Especially the version of him that is [[Freeze-Frame Bonus|shown in Season 4's intro]].
* [[Gross Up Close-Up]]: Him showing off his eleventh toe in "Courage The Fly".
* [[Hate Sink]]: ''Especially'' when he is a major villain of an episode.
* [[Human Sacrifice]]: In order to contact the magic silkworm that gives the Evil Empress her powers, Di Lung ends up having to remove the bones of someone truly innocent (in other words, Muriel)...''using chopsticks''.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Despite [[Watch Where You're Going|his]] [[You Fool!|catchphrase]], [[Never My Fault|he's just as likely to be the one not paying attention]], [[I Was Just Passing Through|and/or be saying it to someone who didn't really have a choice in the matter]]. Sometimes, he even puts himself in harm’s way; for example, one time he stood in the middle of the street before then getting hit by a truck. [[Jerkass Has a Point|Even Eustace sort of points out how incredibly hypocritical Di Lung's catchphrase often is]] by [[Borrowed Catchphrase|using it himself]] in the episode "Courage In The Big Stinkin' City", and in the episode "The Nutcracker", the rats whose glue trap he has somehow gotten himself stuck in even give him [[Death Glare|Death Glares]] in response to hearing him yell the phrase at Courage while being stuck in said glue trap. Hell, Ma Bagge nearly '''attacks''' him for how hypocritical his "Scuba Scuba Doo" usage of said phrase (telling her not to swim in the tidal wave that he is surfing in) is.
* [[Ink Suit Actor]]: He is modeled after Tim Chi Ly (the guy who did his voice). Ironically, however, he actually looks considerably more like [https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/RiceGum RiceGum].
* [[Insufferable Genius]]
* [[It's All About Me]]: To the point where [[Show Within a Show|he even made his own television show about himself]].
* [[Jerkass]]: Arguably the biggest one in the entire series, to the point where he even makes Eustace look like a saint at times.
* [[Jerkass Has a Point]]: On the rare occasions where he says his catchphrase [[Not Me This Time|and wasn't in the way first]]. Not to imply that this will change the result...
* [[Laughing Mad]]: His [[Annoying Laugh]] turns into this whenever he's doing it for extremely sadistic reasons.
* [[Lean and Mean]]
Line 186 ⟶ 194:
* [[No Name Given]]: See [[All There in the Script]] above.
* [[Noodle People]]
* [[Not Me This Time]]: When he surprisingly-''not''-[[Hypocritical Humor|completely-hypocritically]] yells [[Watch Where You're Going|his]] [[You Fool!|catchphrase]] at the titular water dragon in "Food Of The Dragon" as punishment for it stepping on his car and therefore making him unable to properly get his groceries back home; [[Fridge Brilliance|he still shouldn't be living in Nowhere in the first place, however]].
* [[Recurring Extra]]
* [[Royal Brat]]: Heavily implied by the fact that the [[Polar Opposite Twins|Good and Evil Empresses]] of China are his aunts.
