Paste Makes Waste provides examples of:
- Never Live It Down: Even though Buttercup apologized at the end, many fans never forgot what she did to Elmer.
- Squick: Elmer eating paste throughout the episode.
- Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Elmer Sglue. While the other kids had no right to bully him, he rampages through the entire city after becoming a giant paste monster and attacks people who hadn't done anything to him, even tearing up a few buildings and using them as bowling pins. It's not even a case of him going berserk — he was in complete control of his actions the entire time and could have stopped whenever he felt like it. His attacking Ms. Keane and trying to suffocate Blossom and Bubbles are particularly heinous acts since they had tried to stop the bullies from picking on him.
