On top of being a greedy jerk and a overzealous businessman, he is incredibly silly and childish as a person, many of his traits are very exaggerated and over-the-top that makes him easy to laugh at examples of these include his lively chicken persona hatching eggs of toys in the commercials, his chortling and exuberance, his occasionally awkward (if expressive) movements when he talked to Andy's mom and when he was on the phone, his hammy overreactions to stuff like Woody's arm coming off, his complaint over going to work on a Saturday, and his humorous failures at convincing Andy's mom to give Woody in the manner of a incompetent buffoon.

He also sleeps on his couch at night rather than in his bed, still wearing his clothes rather than changing to pajamas. He is also shown to be rather lazy such as when he complains about 'driving all the way to work on a Saturday', even though his apartment is only across the street from the store.

However, when things do not go his way, Al resorts to dirty tricks to get what he wants - after failing to convince Andy's mom to sell Woody to him over deals he attempted to make with her in a goofy yet persistent fashion, he quickly thinks to create a distraction at the garage sale by kicking a skateboard, drawing her attention away long enough for Al to pick the lock of her moneybox and steals Woody. He is also a shrewd businessman, being the owner of the successful Al's Toy Barn toy store as well as a seller of rare and vintage toys on the side. Al is an obnoxious, greedy and high-strung man who has little or no patience for anyone or anything that gets in his way.
