* QuicksandSucks: Used in one of Bradley's play sessions. Ronnie falls into a bog and is roundly told by the other animals that they hate her, and stand there watching her be sucked to her doom whilst begging for help after Bradley hears Carla's been fired, mirroring how he feels nobody cares that he's just lost his only friend because of office politics. He retcons this to the other animals saving Ronnie after Carla and Ronnie say goodbye to each other.

* IllBeYourBestFriend: Played with. Bradley is a troubled kid who behaves so badly that nobody in his school can tolerate him. Jeff, a new kid, tries to make friends with him, only to have Bradley threaten to spit on him if he doesn't give him a dollar. Jeff gives him a dollar. The next day, Bradley approaches Jeff and tells him he will give him a dollar if Jeff will be his friend. Jeff agrees, and Bradley gives him the same dollar he took from him the previous day.

* WrongBathroomIncident: As the title states, this happens briefly when Jeff accidentally goes into the women's room, only for the girls inside to scream. Bradley comments that he occasionally goes in there to get a rise out of them. At one point, he checks the inside of the ladies' room, expecting it to be pretty and fancy, only for it to look almost exactly the same as the men's room.

* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Bradley bullies the other kids because he figures that if they hate him, it will sting less if he never liked them in the first place. This creates a ViciousCycle: as evidenced by the friends he later makes, few people actually ''hate'' Bradley unless peer pressure's involved, but because he fears that they will, he bullies them, and then they ''truly'' hate him, reinforcing his fear and making him an even bigger bully.

--> He understood it when the other kids were mean to him. It didn't bother him. He simply hated them. As long as he hated them, it didn't matter what they thought of him.
