* PetTheDog: When Dave Atterhull stumbles back to the trailer park after the MassSuperEmpoweringEvent, naked, confused, and famished by his transformation, Fred helps him get to shelter and gets him some food. The next time we see him, Dave is wearing an outfit that was probably sewed together by one of the female Atterhulls. This is the primary example of how the Atterhulls, for all their faults, [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes really do take care of each other]].

* BewaretheNiceOnes: Unlike [[GoodIsNotNice the other heroic characters]], Wyatt is a genuinely nice guy: humble, polite, and helpful even after his FlyingBrick powers kick in. But the UngratefulTownsfolk just keep ''pushing'' him. They're lucky he can work out his frustrations by crushing zombie skulls and smashing Denny Pittman's [[HumongousMecha humongous mechas]].
