** Benedict's plot in the movie is to increase standardized testing and get rid of recess in order to improve grades in American schools. Fast forward fifteen years to the present and the American government in many states appear to be doing this, placing more focus on standardized testing and not allowing recess in some areas.

* AccidentalAesop: "Don't let your personal baggage influence your strategy." It's pointed out several times that many of Benedict's struggles and setbacks stem from his insistence on using Third Street School as a base of operations--solely because he's still bitter about losing his job as principal of the school. But if he hadn't tried to carry out his plan in a public elementary school in the middle of a heavily populated town, he probably would have had a much easier time keeping his plan secret...and it probably would have worked.

** The scene where Prickly is dematerialized in front of a shocked T.J.. Mainly because it comes out of nowhere, but also since ''Recess'' is a Disney cartoon, odds are we just saw him get killed. [[spoiler: He wasn't though as he ended up bring held prisoner by Benedict and his men.]]
** The scene of when T.J. finds Prickly's golf pants inside the dumpster. Afterwards, he spotted two of Benedict's guards escorting what appears to be Principal Prickly, with one of them praising 'Prickly' for acting like Robert De Niro and the other one asking if Prickly's wife had suspected anything. 'Prickly' refutes this before pulling his face off, revealing himself to be the bald guy in disguise while gloating that 'it was like taking candy from a baby." The bald guy and the guards then all make an EvilLaugh afterwards, which confirms T.J's suspicions that the real Prickly is in danger and that the bald guy was only posing as Prickly to throw the authorities off Benedict's trail.
** Upon T.J. being captured by Benedict's agents, his friends tried to budge the door open to save him, but they are chased off by Benedict's ninjas, [[WouldHurtAChild with one of them throwing a shruiken at the kids]]. Yes.... a deadly weapon... at children. It almost strikes Spinelli in the face, but it missed and made a dent on the door, giving the kids a full understanding that the ninjas (as well as Benedict's agents) have no qualms in hurting and/or killing children. [[EveryoneHasStandards Even Miss Finster and Randall themselves are horrified to see T.J.'s friends being chased off by the homicidal ninjas.]]
** An especially terrifying example of FridgeHorror and one that oddly isn't stated in the movie itself (even by Gretchen, who you'd think would point it out), but there's the mere fact that, [[InferredHolocaust if Benedict's plot had succeeded]], he would've '''[[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt plunged the Earth into a new ice age.]]''' Seriously, [[DidntThinkThisThrough did he not think that through]]?!
*** Even at the time when Benedict presents his plan to a captured T.J. and Prickly, the way he describes his plan implies that not only is he aware of the consequences that his actions will bring, ''[[OmnicidalManiac but that he just doesn't care as long as it suits his ego]]''.
** Dr. Rosenthal's terrified reaction when Dr. Benedict condemns him to "detention" over the laser's repeated failures. Whatever "detention" constitutes under Dr. Benedict's watch, it clearly isn't pleasant. Perhaps most disconcerting is the fact that [[UncertainDoom we never do see Dr. Rosenthal again after he's dragged away begging for mercy]]; [[EvenEvilHasStandards even his fellow scientists show nothing but pity for him afterwards]].
** During the final battle, Benedict personally attempts to set the tractor beam into full power in order to move the moon (even after being warned of the full consequences of doing so); even when Prickly punches him out, Benedict still managed to set the beam to full power after being slumped by the punch, and he spitefully taunts Prickly as the latter is unable to reverse the process. Fortunately, T.J. gets Vince to throw his baseball into the photon channeler to destroy the beam, thus foiling Benedict's plan for good.
