* WhatTheHellHero: Arthur tries ignoring Buster's happy ramblings about bowling with Mike, until Buster offhandedly mentions they haven't done much work on their science project. Arthur blows up and tells Buster ''he'' did plenty of work while Buster was bowling with Mike, and that if Buster doesn't really care, then Arthur can finish the project alone. Mr. Ratburn also gets on it when Buster can't give a progress report on the project, and asks to see Buster after class.

First, aversions are only listed for Omnipresent Tropes. Second, Surprisingly Realistic Outcome cannot include character reactions because the way people respond to situations is too varied to have any objectively realistic outcome.

** Spanky dies as a result of [[ArtisticLicenseAnimalCare the poor care the Reads give him]].
** Arthur tries to cheer D.W. up by taking her to the pet store to get another bird. She turns down a parakeet because it looks exactly like Spanky, a parrot that can talk, a hamster spinning on its wheel, and a boa constrictor eating eggs whole. Replacing a pet isn't as easy as it looks for someone who is grieving.

* PetDressUp: In this episode's prologue, D.W. dresses Spanky in a shirt and bonnet and has him hold an umbrella. It is at this point that Arthur mentions that he feels sorry for Spanky in these kind of situations, feeling that being D.W.'s pet is worse than being her brother.
