TV[]
Tropes associated with her include:[]
- Deadpan Snarker
- Goth: Known to play the Gloomy Goth type a few times because of her pale skin and snarkness. Her role in Two Broke Girls uses this as part of her appeal by having her character Max embrace the "Big Titty Goth GF" archetype that many online subcultures have become fond of.
- Ms. Fanservice: Her character in Two Broke Girls, Max, is specifically written around the fact that Kat has huge breasts, a pretty face, a snarky personality and a knack for edgy dressing. Not only are Max's conversations riddled with innuendos, but Max herself takes great pride in her breasts, even deliberately jiggling them around in a low-cut dress while looking in the mirror, impressed with her own sex appeal.
