Line 47:
Friend of the family and accountant for Titus' custom car shop. Growing up in a relatively stable household, Tommy is the only 'normal' member of the cast, and he is just as screwed-up as everyone else. Eccentric, flamboyant and anal, his [[Ambiguously Gay|effeminate]] mannerisms are subverted as he is heterosexual, but those mannerisms are picked up from his actually gay father.
 
* [[Ambiguously Gay]] and [[Mistaken for Gay]]: Justified in that Tommy imitated his father, who was a [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar]] who kept his true sexuality under wraps for many years.
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: On the episode "Tommy's Girlfriend," where Tommy's high school sweetheart (played by [[Nicole Sullivan]]) ends up trapped in Titus's car shop after Tommy crashes his car into hers.
* [[The Chick]]
Line 56:
'''Papa Titus''': (''opens beer can, [[Oh Crap|Christopher freezes in shock]]'') I think without me pushin' you, you never would have made it. }}
 
You could consider him to be a [[Magnificent Bastard]], to some degree. The show revolves around the relationship between him and Christopher. He is a very difficult man to describe; he's gruff and difficult, but has [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] tendencies. He seems to enjoy watching Christopher suffer, but it seems to be a form of [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] meets [[Wax On, Wax Off]].
 
* [[Abusive Parents|Abusive Parent]]: Believes that emotional damage keeps kids in line instead of physical abuse (as he told Erin's dad in "The Perfect Thanksgiving.")
Line 83:
* [[Does Not Like Men]]: Justified when you consider that {{spoiler|her mom's boyfriend beats the crap out of her when he's drunk and she was molested by a male babysitter whose son sexually harasses her}}.
* [[Sixth Ranger]]
* {{spoiler|[[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar]]}}: {{spoiler|The episode "Errr" reveals that Amy is in love with someone named "Charlie..." who turns out to be a girl. Prior to that point, there was no mention of Amy's sexual preference}}.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: "The Protector" and "Amy's Birthday" shed light on why Amy is such a broken child: {{spoiler|Her mother is a drug addict who's too high to raise her own child, her stepfather is a drunk who beats her and, when Amy was a child, she was sexually molested by a family friend who offered to take care of her while her parents were in jail}}.
