** Toys are often precious childhood possessions that can still mean a lot to their owners even after they outgrow them. While people should conversely be willing to part with things if need be, as it's a healthy part of life, nobody should feel pressured to give up something they don't want to give up either.
** On the other hand, toys can make any child happy long after you've outgrown them, so if you're willing to, you can peacefully accept parting ways with them knowing they will make someone else as happy as they made you.

* WhatTheHellHero: Mr. Haney chews out the class for their riot and demands they clean up their mess, only giving them the chance since they are usually well-behaved. George follow suit by simply cleaning up because it's the thing to do, and tells off the class for being such drama queens.
Added DiffLines:
* CoolOldLady: Mrs. Tibble rescues Stanley from her rambunctious grandchildren and repairs him to look like he's brand new once again, and offers Arthur the chance to either take him back for good or at least to borrow him whenever he'd like, not judging him one bit for still being attached to his precious childhood toy.
Added DiffLines:
* ThePollyanna: Stanley is shown to be extremely innocent and sweet, perhaps by nature of being a teddy bear that originally served Arthur when he was a young child. He fails to really notice just how dilapidated he's become and takes some time to realize that Arthur has outgrown him.

* AndIMustScream: Arthur's nightmares see a sentient Stanley suffer various awful fates like being violently washed around in a washer, and later being powerless to do anything but allow the Tibbles to dissect and remove all his stuffing.
* TheBully: The Woogle frequently belittles and harasses Stanley according to Kate and Pal.
* TheBusCameBack: Arthur's Woogle he got at the end of "Arthur Rides the Bandwagon" returns, though it ends up being a non-fatal example of BackForTheDead since he ends up in the yard sale and out of Arthur's possession for good.
* EasilyForgiven: Stanley holds no ill will towards Arthur for letting him fall into disrepair or parting ways with him either at the beginning or end of the episode, he just loves Arthur that much.
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: The Woogle was once the hottest toy fad in the world, but his time has long passed. He's now on Arthur's top shelf, dusty and neglected, and has become bitter and mean towards Stanley and everyone else in the Read household.
*IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Platonic example. When Arthur decides to finally let Stanley go and let him stay at Mrs. Tibble's to potentially find a new owner, Stanley comes to life and warmly says goodbye to him, showing he's happy with whatever decision Arthur makes.
* IWillFindYou: Arthur eventually decides to track Stanley back down.
* LaserGuidedKarma: The Woogle coldly bashed Stanley for still having faith in his and Arthur's relationship, and ends up being sold just like he warned. Unlike Stanley, he doesn't get back to his original owner.
* LivingToys: This episode depicts toys as living sentient beings who are at the mercy of whatever their human decides to do with them. They can also communicate with pets and babies.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Arthur realizes too late that just because Stanley meant a lot to him, that doesn't mean he means anywhere ''near'' as much to other children.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Pal goes to save Stanley from the Woogle's bickering, but it just further deteriorates the bear's condition.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Arthur sees how other children are not nearly as attached to their old toys. D.W. casually tosses some of her stuffed animals in the yard sale box with a happy "bye, guys", while Vecita and the Tibbles both roughly treat Stanley due to not having anywhere near the same connection with a brand new toy.
* TemptingFate: The ColdOpen sees the toys debating their fate as a yard sale approaches. The Woogle crossly insists their time is up, especially Stanley's given his poor state. Stanley disagrees, confident that Arthur still loves him and would never give throw him away. Cue Arthur's mom wearily noting she's tired of sewing him up, and soon he's indeed given up for sale at the yard sale.
