Ryan & Beth/Tropes/Characters

Ryan Ferd
Voiced by: Xavier Mosley Ryan is an easygoing person in his hometown. A few years ago, he lived with his parents until living on his own in the middle-class suburban neighborhood, along with putting up his clingy "best" friend, Beth.
 * Ambiguous Disorder: In the episode "Sick Day", Beth lists down many things "wrong" with him. Beth: You're a narcissist, you're a grammar nazi, you're condescending, you're egotistical, you're self-centered, and self-determined.
 * Annoying Laugh: Ryan's laugh is more hysterical and sounds like he's loosing his sanity. His VA/creator based his laugh off Captain Underpants' laugh from Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie.
 * Author Avatar: His trait of being a grammarian comes from his creator/VA who had adapted into proper vocabulary after listening to improper words and finding the logic through it.
 * Blatant Lies: Ryan will occasionally lie to Beth in a sarcastic or deadpan way.
 * Brutal Honesty: Pretty much not afraid to say it.
 * Butt-Monkey: He tends to receive the best of his backlash which bites him back. And sometimes, he's usually crushed by Beth's hugs or weight.
 * Curse Cut Short: This happens to Ryan in almost every episode.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: For him, this is downplayed.
 * Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: To Beth.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Determinator: Throughout Season 1 when he was a student, he was eager to get his crush Eve to like her.
 * Did Not Get the Girl: Ryan breaks up with Eve in the series finale after realizing she wanted him only for his father's inheritance.
 * Drives Like Crazy: In the episode "Driving Him Crazy".
 * Everyone Has Standards: As much as he torments Beth for her ignorance, he doesn't approve of somebody else picking on her.
 * Fat and Skinny: The Skinny to Beth's Fat.
 * Grammar Nazi: He tends to correct people (mostly Beth) on what they're saying. This alludes to his VA, who is also a grammar nazi. Ryan: I can't help. I have a right to say what's right and wrong even if they don't want to admit it.
 * The Grinch: He used to love Christmas, but after discovering how pointless it was, he no longer celebrated it.
 * Grumpy Bear: He is usually, or should we say frequently annoyed with Beth for her incompetence and innocence.
 * Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Oscar.
 * Hypocrite: Even he admits he is, but he just ignores it.
 * Heavy Sleeper: It'll take a single growl in frustration. Or just a typical alarm clock to wake him up.
 * Heavy Voice: Ryan's voice gets deep when he puts on weight in "Bye Bye, Big Beth".
 * Jerkass: Downplayed. Ryan is sincere to other people, but is cruel-hearted to Beth.
 * Jerk With A Heart of Gold: Among finding Beth a nuisance, he's willing to stick up to her if anyone hurts her.
 * Large Ham: He tends to speak dramatically when angry or worried.
 * Narcissist: He doesn't like it when his hair is messed up.
 * Not So Above It All: The only thing he's not good at is driving. He even failed five driver's tests.
 * Official Couple: With Beth in the series finale.
 * Oh, Crap!: Whenever he gets himself in a situation he can't get out of, or whenever he realizes what he had done.
 * The Only One Allowed to Defeat You / Hypocritical Heartwarming: He's this to Beth.
 * Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: The Savvy Guy to Beth's Energetic Girl.
 * Screwy Squirrel: He tends to mess with Beth for her ignorance.
 * Temporary Bulk Change: He becomes fatter than Beth in the episode "Bye Bye, Big Beth", when Beth starts losing weight. Ryan's overeating just to spite her.
 * Took a Level in Kindness: He seems to show more sympathy to Beth in most episodes of Season 2.
 * Ungrateful Bastard: At times with Beth.
 * With Friends Like These...: With Beth.
