** Remember how he seems to care about London's well being. In his final and first real appearance, London has to remind him of who she is. Plus his criminal activities aren't pointed out until this time too with his most corrupt behavior before then is endangering some whales with his cruise ship. His final appearance talks of him embezzling money and on top of that wants to [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking turn the Pickett farm into a plastic bag factory.]] He seems to actually love her, when he remembers her (one time smiling at her).
** An episode of ''Zack and Cody'' has it stated that Mr Tipton is actually [[FriendToAllLivingThings a lover of nature and animals]][[note]]Zack and Cody were able to use this fact to make Moseby let them keep a bird in the hotel[[/note]]. In ''On Deck'' it is repeatedly mentioned that his various business ventures have caused tremendous damage to the environment. The most notable example being when he cut down every single tree on an island which resulted in its rare bird species leaving and destroying the island's tourism industry.

* BurgerFool: Maddie is shown to be working at a fast food restaurant to supplement her income from the Tipton candy counter in one episode, where she has to wear a goofy uniform and the food is horribly and cheaply made. London briefly joins her as an employee, then buys the chain in order to get back at the overbearing manager. A later episode has Maddie mention that she's still working at that fast food restaurant as the mascot.

This is lampshaded in one episode when Zack tries to get Mr. Moseby's attention - he doesn't see him and calls him "sir", not realizing it's Zack until he turns around and comments on his voice getting lower.

* TookALevelInKindness: In ''On Deck'', he's much less egotistical and is a bit kinder to Cody. This is especially after dating Maya. Maya's birthday is an example and it's implied it's not simply to woo her but thinks she deserves a birthday party that Moseby decides to deny. However, he did go through questionable lengths for this, such as deceiving Sean Kingston, which London calls him out for. Though he's shown shades of being caring all throughout both series not only to Maya but to Maddie as well as being the only one to show up at her sweet 16 party as everybody goes to London's after she bribes them. Another instance has him object to London lip-syncing and Maddie providing her singing voice. He thinks Maddie deserves the recognition. Let's not forget him falling to pieces after seeing a romance film.
