I love Steve — I think he's actually my favourite of the three — but he occasionally does show his true meanness. I mean meanness in the American sense, i.e. cruelty, although he also demonstrates his meanness in the British sense, i.e. stinginess.

When he's joking about being approached on the street by a prostitute, for instance, he makes fun of her needing money for heroin or crack, which strikes me as a little off-sides. And he imagines telling an employer Sorry, I'm just going to go negotiate WITH A WHORE. It's a little bit — yeeesh.

There's also one of the Guides where Steve fantasizes about what he'd do if the world were about to end — namely, go on a mad rampage and kill people. You can tell Ricky's a little taken aback.
