* {{Adorkable}}: Kat is a nerd for sea-life, and she doesn't fit in much with the "popular" crowd at school, but she's adorable.

* MoralEventHorizon: Burton Plushtoy III was never meant to be more than a spoiled brat, but he crosses it in "Ocean's Three". He buys the aquarium that houses Kenny's bull shark girlfriend Elly and crams all his animals into the same tank, starving them to make room. Some of them can't even survive in salt water. He shows no regret at animal cruelty, dismissing them as common animals. He threatens to make Elly into sushi if Kenny doesn't agree to be his pet. When Kenny offers himself up, Plushtoy reveals he had no interest in keeping his end of the deal.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: A crazed Kenny chasing one of Grace's patients who has a fear of sharks in "Simply Irresistible".
** His delight at being cured and no longer needing Grace's services (Kat discovered that he smelled like seals because he visited them at the zoo, which naturally made Kenny wig out [[TrademarkFavoriteFood since seal is his favorite thing to eat]]) and Grace's [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan]] displeasure about the turn of events are also hilarious.
** Also in the same episode, Kenny's goodbye drags on before he could dive back into the ocean. Which Kat was able to catch up and prevent him from doing so.
-->'''Kenny:''' Oh Kat, you've come to say goodbye!\\
'''Kat:''' Cut the drama, Kenny.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming:
** "Kenny the Dad"
** One episode has Kat trying to help Kenny with his insomnia (tiger sharks can't sleep) by going out with him every night, which quickly backfires on her by making her too tired to pay attention in school. She ends up almost blowing up the school in chemistry class. When Kenny learns about this, he promises never to ask her to take him out again, and even tries to teach himself to sit still. Considering how stir-crazy it made him to even try, it's a testament to how much he cares about Kat that he did.
** "Whaling On Kenny"
*** The scene where Kenny jumps in front of Kat to prevent Buster from eating her was really sweet, due to the fact that Kenny willingly puts himself in danger to protect her.

When Kenny offers himself up, Plushtoy reveals he had no interest in keeping his end of the deal.
* NightmareFuel:
** The bullying Kenny undergoes in "Whaling on Kenny". It doesn't help that Kat's completely oblivious to it until Oscar informs her orcas (the species of whale to which Kenny's new "friend", Buster belongs) ''eat'' Tiger Sharks and that when Kat confronts him, Buster attacks her. It gets more unnerving in that Buster implies that he's gonna eat Kat, when orcas don't eat humans.
*** Buster himself is pretty damn intimidating. He has a very menacing look and is pretty much hellbent on murdering Kenny, [[WouldHurtAChild and maybe even Kat]].
*** The scene where he tries to cook Kenny on the grill is also really dark.
*** Buster [[SwallowedWhole swallowing Kenny whole]], complete with Kenny screaming "Hey! Let me out!" as he struggles inside Buster.
*** Needless to say, this was the most unnerving episode in the entire series.
** Plushtoy's MoralEventHorizon counts both in-universe and out, given that it's highly likely that some of the aquarium inhabitants didn't survive [[TyrantTakesTheHelm Plushtoy's reign as the owner]]. And Kat herself has a FreakOut when Kenny informs her that the animals she had assumed were Elly's food are her new "roommates", going on about how incompatible they are and asking [[WhoWouldBeStupidEnough what kind of idiot would do something like that]].

* IdiotBall: Kat in "Whaling on Kenny". Kat had previously (since "Whaling on Kenny" was in Season 2) established as being a near expert on sharks, especially tiger sharks. ''Why'' was it a shocking revelation that orcas eat them?
** In another episode, a pet trainer who repeatedly mistreated her students (especially Kenny) brought in a seal as a new pupil. When Kenny (who [[TrademarkFavoriteFood eats seals]]) naturally goes berserk, the trainer begins berating Kenny just in time to be caught by Kat who's disturbed by the treatment Kenny's receiving and ''appalled'' when she finds out about the seal, [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calling the trainer out on her stupidity]]. Fortunately [[HeelFaceTurn the trainer is willing to listen]].
