* MistakenForName: When Barney first starts interacting with his new RobotBuddy, Ron, he finds that the robot needs to know what his name is. Ron begins going through a list of names that start with A, including "Absolem", causing Barney to incredulously ask "[[WhoNamesTheirKidDude Absolem]]?!". Ron assumes that "Absolem?!" (in the same surprised tone of voice) is Barney's name and addresses him as such for the majority of the film.

** Rich, Rich starts the film as a bully who likes to prank people online, for online clout. But when Ron's glitch spreads to the other B-Bots including his own, he realizes no one finds his pranks funny because it comes and that they come as more hurtful than entertaining once he goes too far, causes ''massive'' amounts of destruction, makes all the other kids suffer as a consequence, and is ostracized by said kids as a result.
** Savannah, Savannah likewise is first seen as a popular influencer who loves her social media fame, becomes but coldly shuns those around her in the real world, including her former friend Barney. When the recess fiasco sees her become a laughingstock when she's eaten by the B-Bots and then comes out, and is nicknamed out (earning her the nickname of "Poop Girl". She Girl"), she realizes how it feels to be an outcast like Barney.
Barney. So when she finds out that Barney is in trouble with the law, she drops everything to help him, with Rich following suit when she passes the news to him, too.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Andrew ordering that the cloud (or rather, its servers) be shut down serves as the perfect opportunity for Barney (with an assist from Marc) to reboot the network from an external source. [[spoiler:Said source being ''Ron'' means that his "faulty" code gets copied to all of the other B-Bots, making all of them actual ''friends'' and not just glorified social media platforms]].

* AIIsACrapshoot: The B-Bots are initially programmed to basically interface with their assigned user's social media and help them make friends with people who share their interests based on their media posts, with the titular Ron suffering a glitch as he is incapable of accessing the Bubble Network due to damage sustained while he was being taken to the shop. As a result, Ron is brought online with a limited database and lacking the standard safety protocols to prevent the bots from hurting humans, although he never does anything more serious than slap potential bullies. This requires Ron to actually ''learn'' how to be a friend to his owner, Barney, resulting in him developing his own interests in a glitchy manner rather than just being essentially an extension of Barney, [[spoiler:prompting Bubble CEO Marc Weidell to use Ron's code as the basis for a mass upgrade of the other bots to make them more like Ron]].
