* TheScapegoat: Since the Tanners were hiding ALF from the authorities and neighbors, Willie was often forced to take the blame when ALF did something bad. This would result in Willie [[MisplacedRetribution being punished or suffering embarrassment that he didn't deserve]]. The season one episode "Pennsylvania 6-5000" is the most profound and notable example of this.

respect and kindness. Because of this, he's probably the closest to Alf in the family, and Alf genuinely reciprocates Brian's kindness and respect, jumping to Brian's aid whenever the need arises, which just feeds into their mutual respect and friendship. The two are quick to come to one another's aid or defense if accused of something, and Brian's behavior goes a long way towards helping Alf settle in. In many ways, Brian treats Alf as a kind of elder brother, despite the fact that Alf often does strange things and occasionally gets Brian in on the act, though Alf has always been careful never to put Brian in harm's way due his unfailing kindness towards the Melmacian.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Apparently, Alf is powerful and stealthy enough in his crazed state in the episode ''Wild Thing'' that he manages to successfully ''hijack a tiger'' from a zoo. While on a ''[[UpToEleven lawnmower]]''. '''''[[BeyondTheImpossible And then brought it to the Tanners' home and stuffed it into their garage without anyone seeing him do it]]'''''. Bear in mind, most tigers go about seven to ten feet long and weigh in excess of four hundred pounds on average. Then compare that to Alf, who's about three feet tall, if not shorter. And probably isn't more than a hundred and ten pounds soaking wet. Makes one wonder just what Alf might be like if he applied this strength and stealth while in his normal mindset. This was also the episode where it was revealed that Alf can do ''flawless'' imitations, when he does pitch perfect impressions of Brian, Lynn, and Willie, all in the span of about a minute. Needless to say this particular ability ''completely'' freaked the Tanners out, and they were ''already'' worried for/about Alf due to his psychological shift, which Alf himself claims would make him potentially dangerous till it wore off.
