* PrimaDonnaDirector: Archibald Llewellyn, Mary Jane's director on a production of ''AStreetcarNamedDesire'' is a pompous jerk who rubs most of his actors the wrong way. He goes out of his way to belittle and even humiliate Mary Jane, but she gets a sort of revenge when the critics give her a glowing review for her performance during the show's actual run.

* BeneathTheMask: Subverted by Jack O'Lantern, who in fact dons his costume so he can display his true personality. He claims that the actual masks are the civilized facades people put up because they don't want to reveal what they're really thinking, or what they really want to do. Jack's well aware of the irony in wearing a mask to reveal his true face, but he considers himself superior to the pathetic, mindless sheep and cattle that make up most of the rest of society because he's willing to embrace just what he ''really'' is.

** Another example is combined with LaserGuidedKarma when it comes to Will O' the Wisp.
