Betty is not a hero by any means.


* BitchInSheepsClothing: She may act motherly and supportive, but in reality, she is quite self-serving and manipulative. In "American Stepdad", she acts as if she loves Roger and marries him, [[spoiler:but she actually plans to kill him to claim live insurance from him]]. She also tricked Stan into killing his dog, saying he had an incurable illness, but it she actually made him do it because their new apartment building didn't allow dogs.



* WhatTheHellHero: In the episode "American Stepdad", [[spoiler: Roger marries Betty after Hercules has died, seemingly to get his attic back.]] Stan, understandably, is opposed to the idea. He is eventually proven wrong when [[spoiler: Roger turns out to be very competent at being a father, to the point of getting Stan a car they fixed together.]] Sometime later, Stan checks their computer and finds that [[spoiler: Roger seemingly wants to kill Betty in Niagara Falls thanks to a pop-up that reads "Top Ten Ways to Kill Your Spouse in Scenic Niagara Falls."]] When he gets there after [[spoiler: inexplicably surviving a major accident,]] it turns out that she's [[spoiler: trying to kill Roger because Stan refused to listen when she told him she wanted to be independent.]] Her method of achieving said [[spoiler: independence? ''[[BitchInSheepsClothing take out a life insurance policy on Roger]]''.]] Even worse, she manipulated Stan into mercy killing his dog. The dog wasn’t even sick.

* TheAtoner: After all the terrible things he's done to his family, along with [[Main/ItMakesSenseInContext trapping Minstrel Krampus, which allowed Santa to make children more spoiled and bratty over the years]], he becomes the next Krampus and can go around the world teaching naughty children how to behave, and make the world a better place. However, he seems to have quit doing this due to stress and now works as a bus driver in Baltimore.

* {{Foil}}: To Stan's parents. Mah Mah and Bah Bah adopted Francine at a young age and they both clearly love her and want her to be happy. Jack and Betty Smith are Stan's biological parents and they're both self-absorbed, abusive assholes whose abandonment (Jack) and emotional manipulation (Betty) warped Stan beyond repair. Francine's parents visited her every day until they could afford to adopt her, while Jack ran out on his family and Betty used Stan as a crutch and then practically cast him aside as soon as she began dating again.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Nicholas. Sure, he wasn't really the nicest character to begin with if some of the aforementioned tropes are any indication, but I don't think the Nicolas that we saw in "Big Trouble in Little Langley" would've forced everyone in his family to fight each other to the death over something so minor and petty (like using their own separate phone networks instead of the one he setup).
