"Tyler, you are by far the most interesting single-serving friend I've ever met."
-the Narrator
Tyler Durden is a revolutionary. He is a man who walks through puddles and rides a tricycle indoors in his underwear. Instead of answering his phone, he uses the callback feature. He lives in a run-down house and makes explosives in his basement.
He had never been in a fight until he convinced the Narrator to hit him for no reason. Tyler's philosophy of life is simple and unique: you can't be happy until you hit bottom. In reality, Tyler's physical form is a hallucination of the Narrator.
The "real" Tyler durden is the Narrator himself. Everything he sees Tyler do, he himself is actually doing, without ever realizing it. Oddly, Tyler knows that he and the Narrator are the same person; upon meeting Tyler, when the Narrator points out that he and Tyler have identical briefcases, Tyler only smirks.
The Narrator even has doubts at times as to who is the living human being and who is the hallucination.
Tyler's Professions
He makes his soap from human fat stolen from the trash outside liposuction clinics; oddly enough, the women who tend to buy the soap are those who would also get liposuctions. As the movie states, Tyler is "selling rich women their own fat asses back to them."
Working in the theater gives Tyler the opportunity to splice frames of pornography into family movies, while as a waiter, he urinates in the food. Not to mention what he does to the cream of mushroom soup...
