In one part, for example, he jokingly but dangerously runs Tub off the road with his vehicle. In this way, Kenny shows a careless side; a part that cares neither about hurting others nor about himself. According to him, fun comes before anything else; therefore, hurting Tub was never a consideration. He also mercilessly teases Tub about his weight when Kenny knows it's a sensitive and upsetting topic for Tub. Frank is also very self-centered as he is willing to leave his wife for their fifteen-year-old babysitter, who has just finished half of high school. The third main character, Tub, is also quite narcissistic as he becomes extremely defensive when it comes to his weight as he allows Kenny's teasing to offend him; therefore, Tub is selfish as he is fixated on his image.
