* BookshelfDominoes: When Buddy knocks out Craig Mattey (in the library, with a single blow) after the latter puts a hand on him, Mattey stumbles back and knocks down a bookshelf, which knocks down nearly all the others on the library. For further "OhCrap" fuel for Jerry, who was in the same room watching the whole thing because [[BullyHunter he paid Mattey to punch out Buddy]], the knocked down shelves expose he is there, Buddy immediately puts two and two together, and makes clear the fight is still on as he walks out.

* BullyBrutality: The whole plot revolves around Buddy's threat to beat the everliving hell out of Jerry at the end of the school day and on the road to doing so Buddy brutalizes Craig Mattey (the school's quarterback) when Jerry tries to hire him as a BullyHunter, Vince (Jerry's best friend) when he tries to help Jerry in the climactic fight and Duke and O'Rouke (the school's security guard and principal) when they try to break up said fight (and [[BerserkButton touch Buddy]]). Jerry himself [[DavidVersusGoliath ends up quite black-and-blue by the time he wins the fight]].
