* TookALevelInJerkass: In the books overall, he is a decent fellow especially compared to his [[AdaptationalJerkass movie counterpart]]. However, during the later points of ''Diper Overlode'', [[spoiler: Bill starts to develop more of an ego, especially after revealing he has a girlfriend, with both of them believing that Bill is the true face of Löded Diper saying that he should be on the cover of their fliers (despite Rodrick being the founder). Needless to say, this ended up resulting in a falling out between the two with Bill being quick to join up on their main competition, Stank, after their lead singer ruptured his vocal cords. Luckily, they make up at the end of the book.]]

** The later books has Greg being ''somewhat'' less of a jerk; Painting him more often as a normal, though not without his moments of selfishness or idiocy, teen who [[WeirdnessMagnet has to deal with the insanity and bizarre situations he finds himself in]]. More books has Greg being in bad situations that most of the time are not his own fault, making him just a touch more sympathetic.

However, while Rodrick does start off similar to his book counterpart, after going through some CharacterDevelopment, he [[TookALevelInKindness takes a level in kindness]] and becomes a CoolBigBro to Greg while Heather is a stuck-up AlphaBitch with little-to-no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

* BeautyEqualsGoodness: In the movie, this is played up when compared to Patty. The sweet Holly always appears as a pretty and fashionable girl with a bright and innocent smile. The cruel Patty is portrayed as a unfashionable, dorky-looking girl with braces, and her actress often gives her not-so-pretty facial expressions (with intentional LargeHam acting) to make her even more obnoxious.

It's also implied that she TookALevelInJerkass immediately after that, when was still a little kid, since Patty mentions that she has beaten up Greg in kindergarten.

* [[Main/DumbBlonde Dumb Blonde]]: Sophie, a Slacksville girl Greg dates in the final act, is a fair-haired girl who can't spell or understand how a clock tells time. However, this (probably) isn't because Sophie herself is inherently dumb or a bad student and is instead a symptom of the pathetic curriculum at her school.
