* EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler: Brian/Greg]] copied and then destroyed a man's entire life, and then proceeded to become nothing more than a mediocre white-collar professional with mediocre credentials (as his credentials are fake anyway, he could at least have made himself seem more impressively educated, but for some reason he didn't even do that much).

* KillAndReplace: Downplayed. [[spoiler:Greg framed Tony for treason, sending him to prison, and stole his life. He then lived the life that Tony had always said he wanted, down to the type of house that Tony had described. He even stole Tony's dog, and then (presumably when it died of old age) got another one of the same breed.]]

* KickTheDog: Almost literally. [[spoiler: Greg "borrowed" Tony's dog Siouxsie when they were in college, to see if he could handle the responsibility of having a pet. ''Something'' happened to her on his watch, either through his negligence or malice--he claims she was hit by a truck, but this claim is pretty suspect since he wouldn't even give Tony her body (not to mention Greg is a known liar).]]

* TooDumbToLive: Mocked by Tony in the final tape, when he questions [[spoiler: why, even as his life crumbles more and more, Greg not only continues to follow every order Tony gives him but apparently doesn't even ''consider'' that it might be a good idea to stop. It simply never crosses his mind that everything going to shit is probably connected to the fact he's now committing some pretty serious crimes at the direction of a random motivational speaker.]]
