19* '''Double Subverted''': ..but it does knockback, which pushes Bob into a trap.
20* '''Parodied''':
21** A chair suddenly comes to life and tries to eat Bob.
22** Bob is placed as the number one on a wanted list. Everything tries to kill him because of that.
23* '''Zig Zagged''': During his first visit to the forest, the deer and birds are harmful to Bob, but on his second visit they do no damage.
24* '''Averted''': All the enemies are things that make sense as enemies.
25* '''Enforced''': The developers couldn't think of any enemies that fit in with the theme of the level, so they just made random things into enemies.

29* '''Defied''':
30** Bob brings a big rifle (or a machine gun) and [[ShootEverythingThatMoves starts shooting everyone and everything from the distance]], just in case.
31** [[GodzillaThreshold When even that doesn't work]], Bob requests [[DeathFromAbove the Air Force]] [[KillItWithFire to carpet bomb the area]] [[TheOnlyWayToBeSure to finally make it]].
