** "I'm gonna pay you $100 to fuck off."

*** Julian gets significantly worse on the Swearnet series ''Jail'' and ''Randy's Reach''. He is greasier than ever, more greedy and exploitative than ever. His actions cause Bubbles to go to jail and get threatened by inmates. He coerces Randy into sex work, which causes him to contract chlamydia; strongarms Randy into giving up 75% of his business ownership over a one time prescription cost as a result of said STD. Any magnanimous actions by Julian is usually negated by some "unforeseen misfortune", often accompanied by abrasive victim blaming. Swearnet-era Julian is a malignant narcissist prone to manipulation, {{Gaslighting}}, MovingTheGoalposts and is a border-line SatanicArchetype.

* AcceptableTargets: Alcoholics. While he usually deserves the punishment, watching Lahey slur his words and fall down while screwing his life up and being ridiculed by everyone can be seen as a disservice to those who truly struggle with alcohol addiction and the loved ones they hurt.

** Season 7 is largely considered to be ''roughly'' on the same level as the others, but some parts of the fanbase dislike it due to the wackier plot and the return of Conky (see IdiotPlot above).

* ChaoticNeutral: The Bottle Kids. Not connected to anybody, they're just kids throwing bottles at people for no apparent reason.

* IdiotPlot: The majority of the time, the plots are rather far fetched and silly, but they're still practical to the situation they're facing. Season 7 just takes it a little far when they decide to build a track for a toy train to transport their drugs over the border to the USA. There are literally dozens of ways they could have made this easier, like simply filling a garbage bag, going into the woods, and throwing it across the border at night time. The fact that their 'henchmen' were able to spend enough time there to make the track without getting caught just proves they could have pulled it off that way.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Phil Collins in Season 7 seems at like an annoying oaf who ruins the boys' plans, at least until one realizes that he's perfectly justified in being angry over his son skipping school and putting his life on the line to spend time with a bunch of criminals.

* CatharsisFactor: After having to put up with [[spoiler: Private]] Leslie Dancer's borderline authoritarian abuse of the Sunnydale Residents throughout season 9, watching Randy utterly humiliate him in a fight, and his corresponding arrest is very satisfying.

* EightDeadlyWords: Not at first, but season 4 and onwards {{flanderiz|ation}}e the Boys, courtesy of TookALevelInJerkass and Lahey is still as much of a {{Jerkass}} as before that it gets hard to root for any party.

** Randy in season 11 is going through the motions to become a cop, his dream job. He does have most pf Ricky's loved ones locked up, but due to a also of evidence, Goegre Green is forced to release them. Watching Randy being called in George Green's office and going in with a smile on hs face, only to be shouted and screamed at by George who not only tells him to never step foot in the station again due to the amount of crap he has to deal with due to Randy arrests having been done with no evidence and says as long as he's chief he'll never be a cop but actually smashes a window trying to throw something at him, it's not hard to feel sorry for ol' Randers when he leaves Green's office in tears.

** Julian has become one as of late. Some fans enjoy his chemistry with the other characters, others claim he’s become a [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish, careless]] person and the one responsible for the boys constantly getting in trouble. Detractors often point towards his role in season 11. [[spoiler:After Julian left the park at the end of season 10,]] Bubbles and even [[TokenEvilTeammate Ricky]] had managed to clean up their act, and had a legitimate pizza sauce business. [[spoiler:Immediately after they find Julian, he [[ToxicFriendInfluence convinces them to get back into a life of crime]] and he moves back to Sunnyvale.]]

* VindicatedByCable: While the show has always been a national treasure for Canadians, it was a CultClassic at best in all other countries. Since its release on Netflix, it has steadily grown in popularity outside of its home state and has received several Netflix original specials as a result.

** Season 10 manages to achieve this even for people who liked the aforementioned two. The show suddenly took a [[SadistShow much more cruel]] tone, with a sharp uptick in the number of [[BlackComedyRape rape jokes]], Donna's character being turned from a fairly well-rounded depiction of a {{Transgender}} person to a [[UnfortunateImplications transphobic stereotype,]] and the two [[Music/SnoopDogg guest]] [[Creator/TomArnold stars]] falling ''completely'' flat for many. If your stoner show has Snoop Dogg on it and he looks ''bored out of his skull,'' you did something wrong. Luckily seasons 11 and 12 were ''much'' better received.

** "Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam!!!"
