*** Subverted with Preston Mudd. Even when it's revealed he was behind the stalkings, and that he hired Arthur out to videotape girls in his class, Preston doesn't get played up with the same weight. In his subsequent appearances, Preston ends up pretty LaughablyEvil due to how petty his motives are, and how his payback schemes amount to making a crappy movie, MaliciousSlander and creating robots to kidnap Greg and his family.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalBadass: Greg is portrayed as being a lot more clever and brave than he is in canon, often thinking on his feet and outsmarting the story's antagonists. He ends up putting a stop to Sandy's plans, as well as the other antagonists, exposes Joshie's dark past, comes up with a plan to save a Halloween party from the Mingo's, and pulls a successful escape from the Hand's family.


Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalVillainy
** Albert Sandy in canon is simply another student at Greg's school, often telling tall tales and rumors at his school. In these stories, he has taken to putting brainwashing chemicals in dairy products to the student body. In the first story in the Yogurt arc, he tried to use it to satisfy a bizarre yogurt fetish.
** Preston Mudd, in canon is just an unpopular student due to his unfortunate initials and surname. Here he's a recurring, if near ineffective antagonist; he masterminds the stalking and recording of several girls at his school; he creates a notoriously crappy movie, and runs fake social media accounts to try to ruin Greg's relationship with Holly; failing that, he creates robotic doubles of the Heffley's based off his movie, to kidnap Greg.
** PlayedForLaughs with Manny and the Mingo's in ''Fright Night Friday". The Mingo's are portrayed as practicing Satan worshipers, who desire to summon a demon, and Manny is portrayed as idolizing Hitler, who enthusiastically joins the Mingo's in their worship of Satan.
** "Joshie's True Face": In canon, Joshie appears to be just a teen idol. In this story, Joshie is revealed to be a former rockstar who faked his death and changed his identity due to allegations of sexual misconduct. When Greg confronts him with this information, Joshie blows his cover by snapping at him.

Added DiffLines:

* BigDamnHeroes
** "A Man of No Words": Greg and Rodrick knock out Great Uncle Arthur when he's caught in Holly's room, though Heather kicks them out. When Arthur breaks into her house a second time, he is bludgeoned by her father.
** "Not My Rodrick": Rodrick and his friends save Greg from Preston and Dr. Kagan towards the end of the story. In that same story, Rodrick himself was rescued when Preston was holding him captive.
* BigDamnKiss: Greg and Holly share one in "The True Meaning Of Diaper Hands".


Added DiffLines:

* CutLexLuthorACheck: In addition to the sheer lengths Preston Will go for petty revenge, these lengths are also pretty expensive. He apparently has enough money to make an - albeit crappy - movie despite operating from his house, and can hire out Dr. Kagan to create robotic replicas of the family in the movie.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Downplayed as the severity isn't always played up, and there's still a filter of dark comedy throughout the series. But this series the subject matter includes the following; brainwashing, drug dealing, kidnapping, stalking. As well as other things...
** '' A Man of No Words'' features an adult, Greg's great uncle Arthur, stalking minors (young girls no less!) and is MistakenForPedophile. [[spoiler:It ends with Arthur being killed after attempting to attack Holly.]]
** ''Joshie's True Face'' has Greg uncover that Joshie was a washed up rockstar who faked his death following allegations; It's implied Joshie was being a sexual predator to his fans.
** ''Fright Night Friday'' portrays the Mingos as devil worshiping children, who plan to summon a demon at a Halloween party.
* DecoyAntagonist: Greg's great uncle, Arthur Heffley in ''A Man of No Words'' causes quite a bit of trouble and is initially thought to be a predatory stalker of girls at Greg's school. It turns out he's not doing this on his own, but was hired by Preston Mudd to spy on girls for him. From then on, Mudd becomes the antagonist of the ''Diaper Hands'' arc.
* EvilIsPetty: Preston Mudd really goes through a lot of trouble over his lack of popularity. He hires a man out to stalk several girls due to being unable to get a girlfriend; he makes a crappy movie in an attempt to become popular, and makes fake social media accounts to promote it (as well as trying to get Greg and Holly to break up); following that, he goes on to create robotic doubles to kidnap and replace Greg's family, based off the family in his movie, as revenge for Greg foiling both schemes and getting him arrested.
* KnightOfCerebus: Played with, as there is still an air to BlackComedy throughout these stories.
** Arthur Heffley, Greg's great uncle, is played with a rather heavy presence in "A Man of No Words", especially when it's revealed he's stalking young girls in Greg's class, and has a backstory about how the loss of his wife warped him. Notably, he's the only antagonist in this series to end up dying, with even Greg agreeing he was BeyondRedemption.
*** Subverted with Preston Mudd. Even when it's revealed he was behind the stalkings, and that he hired Arthur out to videotape girls in his class, Preston doesn't get played up with the same weight. In his subsequent appearances, Preston ends up pretty LaughablyEvil due to how petty his motives are, and how his payback schemes amount to making a crappy movie, MaliciousSlander and creating robots to kidnap Greg and his family.
** "Joshie's True Face" plays Joshie in a darker light when he's revealed to be a washed up rockstar by the name of Joop Vanderkoerp, who disappeared and took a new identity due to rumors of him being a sexual predator.
** Subverted with the Mingo's in "Fright Night Friday". Despite being portrayed as devil worshipers, who crash the Halloween Party and plan to summon a demon, this aspect ends up getting played for comedy, with Greg himself not taking the whole demon thing that seriously. They are ultimately ineffective, but it's implied they end up kidnapping Susan and Manny at the end of the story.
* ManBehindTheMan: Preston Mudd is revealed to be behind the stalkings done in ''A Man of No Words'', the social media accounts and creation of the titular movie in ''The True Meaning of Diaper Hands'', and the creation of the robotic Hands family in ''Not My Rodrick''.
