* LowerClassLout: The Wild Wooders are treated this way, a product of Grahame's class-based mistrust of the English working class whom he saw as lazy, idle, prone to theft rather than honest labour, ill-educated and vicious to their social betters. (And, unlike the more selective middle-class house-owning voles, moles and badgers, breed uncontrollably). The book is a pretty reactionary text, written at a time when the English bourgeoisie were frightened of unrest, labour agitation and socialism among the lower orders -- in short the proletariat rising up against the hard-working middle classes. It is no accident the heroes are all members of the stout English yeomanry.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In Michel Plessix's comic adaptation, Badger is notably friendlier and less gruff. Still an antisocial HermitGuru with a penchant for lecturing, but far more tolerant of Toad's antics. Only when other people are in danger of getting hurt, or Toad otherwise takes it too far, does Badger put his foot down.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Toad has a knack for this in Michel Plessix's comic adaptation. One memorable scene happens after Toad's escape from jail, when he finds himself in Ratty's home and Ratty tells him to go get cleaned up and get out of those washerwoman clothes. In the comic, Ratty is annoyed that Toad is tracking mud in on his carpets, and adds: "And put on some slippers!" Cut to Toad taking a shower and wondering why Ratty told him to wear slippers in the shower.

* DeconstructionFic: ''Counselling for Toads'' is partly this and partly an introduction of counseling process and transactional analysis used in therapy. It opens with Toad having lapsed into depression, and his friends insisting he needs counselling -- then, through Toad's therapy session we explore the reasons behind his foolish and sometimes self-destructive behavior, and how his friends (particularly Badger) completely mishandled the situation and just added to the problems which led to Toad's eventual depression.
