* CrazyPrepared: By the time Peepers' invasion plan in "The Brainstorm" has weathered all of Hater's objections, it accounts for eventualities ranging from the presence of a giant anteater to Wander [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands exhibiting previously-unseen superpowers]]. It still isn't proofed against [[spoiler:[[NoodleImplements Wander's banjo]].]]

* EvilVersusEvil: The show's RoguesGallery is constantly scrapping for territory and clout, with Hater typically being the VillainProtagonist in relation to rivals such as Emperor Awesome and Lord Dominator. "The Little Guy" additionally implies that the Watchdogs have been taught to see Hater's enmity with Wander and Sylvia in this light, as [[CardCarryingVillain they understand that they're "bad guys"]] but think our heroes are bad guys as well.

** ZigZagged in "The Little Guy." While Westley aspires to be awarded Hater's "[[CardCarryingVillain Medal of Evil]]" and Peepers admits that "technically, we are the bad guys," he also describes Wander and Sylvia as "[[EvilVersusEvil the]] ''[[EvilVersusEvil real]]'' [[EvilVersusEvil bad guys]]"--something Westley fully believes until he gets to know them better. After he [[spoiler:[[FakingYourOwnDeath fakes his own death]], his former coworkers honor him as "one of the bad ones," with Hater's speech at his funeral being particularly full of examples, stating that "never before had a Watchdog displayed such malice, such contempt, such cruelty."]]

* CurseCutShort: "Get away from him, you-" "SYLVIA!"

* PissTakeRap: In "The Show Stopper" Hater is playing a rock concert to impress Dominator, and Peepers asks him if he's considered that she might not like rock music. In response, Hater switches to one of these complete with OldSchoolIntroductoryRap. Even he's aware that it's bad.

* MayflyDecemberFriendship: "The Waste of Time" implies this is the case with [[spoiler:Wander and Sylvia, as well as most of Wander's other friends, as Wander hasn't visibly aged in a thousand years. Although the episode does seem to depict Wander and Sylvia growing old together, according to writer Frank Angones, the writer's room decided that Wander's beard was a fake beard to make Sylvia feel better, and he hadn't actually aged significantly over that 50-year period.]]
