* Something that is, for the most part, mostly only appreciable by older fans. In ''Teacher of the Year'', Mr. Lancer, strict SadistTeacher he may be portrayed as, is still acting out of genuine concern for Danny and his failing grades. By making him study in his classroom for a make-up test and having his parents stop him from playing his game, [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure he is simply intervening as the one in charge of getting his student to learn]]. Once Danny shows himself to be serious about studying, Lancer is more than happy to answer his questions, and at the end of the day is clearly gratified to ultimately see him pass the make-up test. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome After all, making sure his students pass is his job.]]

** Earlier in the episode, when Johnny reveals his true colors and he threatens Danny, Jazz briefly breaks free from his control to defend her little brother and even yelled in concern when it looked like Johnny hurt him.
* In ''Life Lessons'', after they team up to escape from Skulker, Danny learns that Valerie is struggling to juggle both school, her ghost hunting and a part time job to save for college (which is being the mascot at the Nasty Burger). Feeling sorry for her and for how he had treated her, Danny fills in for her at work, allowing Valerie to have a day off.
* Despite being an AlphaBitch, Paulina realizing in ''Public Enemies'' that Danny is a good guy is pretty touching and the fact that she still thinks that despite the towns UntrustingCommunity level.
* Just really everything in "Maternal Instincts", it's about Danny and Jazz coming to respect their mother and father respectively:

You can tell that he's truly proud, even with his usual behavior. And even earlier in ''Teacher of the Year'' when he finally gets Danny to take an interest in his studies - even if he had to use a gimmick, it is moments like these that show that Lancer truly does care about his students and wants them to succeed, making him less the monster the show portrays him as for the sake of a gag most of the time.

** Danny and Jazz's hug. After everything that's happened, their bond still stands strong and it warms my heart every time I see them hug in this episode.

When next we see Danny he's flying in just fine, meaning Future Vlad had trusted in Danny to be willing and able to do the right thing and stop his evil future self.

* David Kaufman (Danny), Grey [=DeLisle=] (Sam), Rickey D’Shon Collins (Tucker), and Colleen O'Shaughnessey (Jazz) all appeared as guests on the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAgCzYFr0sA Nickelodeon Animated Podcast]] and more or less affirmed how great an experience working on the show was, describing Butch Hartman as very engaging to work with as a director of actors. They also share fun experiences they've had meeting fans and seeing so much of the support the show has had. Additionally, they all appear to get along with each other very easily.
