* {{Deconstruction}}: The series finale "Bye Bye Beavers" was never filmed because it broke two of Nickelodeon's rules. One being that a show doesn't acknowledge an episode is the last episode, so kids keep watching and hoping for new episodes, and the other rule being a show doesn't break the fourth wall. "Bye Bye Beavers" did both. However, a recording of the actors reading the script exists online. This episode, even only as audio, is one of the most unique deconstructions ever made. It starts off somewhat normal, with Norbert explaining to Daggett that they're fictional characters in a cartoon, that has just been canceled. The insanity begins when you hear the voice actors laughing as they're reading their lines, and then having a conversation. Norbert and Daggett are talking to each other about how their lives are just a show, joking about common tropes in cartoons, while each character's voice actors are talking to each other about other shows and their future plans. This doesn't just break the fourth wall, it completely deconstructs the show in a bizarre [[MetaConcepts meta]] way.

** Daggett tends to suffer a lot throughout the episodes.
** Eventually, it catches up to Norb as well.

** Daggett tends to suffer a lot throughout the episodes.
episodes, much of it at the hands of Norbert’s abuse.
** Eventually, it catches up to Norb as well.well, but things usually turn out fine for him in the end, which is not the case for Daggett.



* NoSympathyForGrudgeholders: Daggett gets treated like trash constantly, but is always vilified when he understandably acts out. Perhaps the best example is “Gift Hoarse,” in which Norbert is gifted a massive train set from their parents while Daggett seemingly gets an air freshener for a car he does not own. Rather than the situation being treated as emotional abuse, it is treated as a petty reason for Daggett to be jealous of his brother. When Daggett finally cracks and destroys the train set, Norbert gaslights him into thinking his actions were motivated by nothing more than pride and jealousy.

Perhaps the best example is “Easy Peasy Rider,” in which Daggett goes off on the abusive Norbert, only to have his feelings invalidated by a bunch of bikers who have never had a brother. Another example is “Gift Hoarse,” in which Norbert is gifted a massive train set from their parents while Daggett seemingly gets an air freshener for a car he does not own.

When Daggett finally cracks and destroys the train set, Norbert gaslights him into thinking his actions were motivated by nothing more than pride and jealousy. Another example is “It’s a Spootiful Life,” in which Daggett rightfully feels bullied when Norbert plays embarrassing clips of him for all of their friends to see and laugh at. When Daggett voices his discontent, they try to gaslight him into thinking that they are laughing “with” him. Another example is “Pack Your Dags,” in which Daggett gets deliberately locked out of his own home for insulting the friend group, despite being told by them in the previous scene that they do not love him.
