** JerkassHasAPoint: Sure, Fred is kind of an ill-tempered killjoy with regards to Christmas but a number of his criticisms, such as questioning Nick dropping down a chimney rather than knocking on the door and the uncompromising nature of the naughty/nice list are actually quite logical and reasonable.

* IncessantMusicMadness: The elf DJ won't stop taking requests to play "Here Comes Santa Claus", so Fred shoves him into a cabinet so he can play something else. Fred switches the radio to Music/ElvisPresley's "Rubberneckin' that gets the whole elf crew dancing. Unfortunately, it leaves the workshop in total chaos since it also causes the Elves to neglect their jobs just as Santa and efficiency expert Clyde Northcutt walk in.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Fred is a ill-tempered and immature killjoy but he does show he has a caring heart like when he helps Willie learn to dance or when he helps his brother save Christmas and his toy shop.

* MrViceGuy: Nick is the kind caring and giving person you would expect Santa Claus to be but he does have trouble putting up with his brother. He does love Fred dearly and even looked up to him when they were kids but he will crack if something goes wrong. This is understandable giving everything Fred puts him through.

* NeverMyFault: On top of this, Nick is quick to blame Fred for marking all the remaining kids as nice creating a huge workload impossible to fulfill when Nick was the one who hired Fred for the job.

* {{Nepotism}}: Despite knowing what an ill-tempered troublemaker Fred is, Nick still decides Fred is qualified to handle the job of judging kids as Naughty or Nice simply on the basis of being his brother.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Not once, not twice, but three times. Fred realizes that his hatred of his family and the holidays has cost him almost everything. Clyde realizes how much of an ass he's been when Nick gives him the present he always wanted as a kid but never got. Then, believe it or not, Santa Claus has probably the biggest of all when he realizes that it was his fault his brother turned out the way he did, even if he didn't mean it, and by proxy he probably judged millions of kids over the years as naughty by only their actions without bothering to ask ''why'' they were being naughty in the first place and ruining many a childhood like he did Clyde's.

* HorribleHousing: While working at the North Pole to raise enough money to start an underground casino, Fred is only allotted an elf-sized bed and room to sleep in and the bed doesn't stretch out to fit his legs. Note that Fred had the option to either stay in jail where they have regular sized beds or let Nick only pay for his bail and go home empty-handed.

* [[NotEvilJustMisunderstood Not Naughty, Just Misunderstood]]: The main aesop of the movie focuses on this concept with the Naughty/Nice list. The main "villain" of the movie, Clyde Northcutt, is initially portrayed as an unsympathetic corporate jerk. Eventually it dawns on Santa [[spoiler:that Clyde's frustrating childhood was only made that much worse when Santa put him on the naughty list without considering the context of ''why'' Clyde acted that way in the first place. As a result, that frustration became a part of who Clyde is as an adult and a reason why he's so gleeful at the prospect of Santa being shut down.]]
