* BluntYes: When Chilli tries to soften the blow after Bingo's first exposure to "Lucky's dad's rules", it's clear that she doesn't want to try and find a bright spot:
-->'''Chilli''': (sympathetic) Yeah... It's hard when you don't win.
-->'''Bingo''': (leans over) [[CaptainObvious Yes. It is.]]

** Losing at games is part of life. Although winning feels good, not everyone can be a winner. But glass half full, losing gives others a chance to win.
** Old ways aren't always bad. Sometimes, they can teach things that new ways can't.
** Alternatively, games don't have to teach a lesson. They just have to be fun for the kids.
** Children are stronger than you think. Pat feels like children are becoming "squibs" by parents being too soft on them, but the child characters prove that they're learning to accept loss with grace and mature on their own.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Pat decided to use his version of Pass the Parcel in the middle of Chuckie's birthday party, only informing the kids after the game had started. Had he warned them ahead of time (as Jasper's mother does), there likely would’ve been much less crying from the children. The other parents certainly don't appreciate that Pat waited until the last minute to tell ''anyone else'' what he was doing.

* CringeComedy: Pat is put in a very uncomfortable position a couple of times. First at Lila's party, he accidentally stops the music on Pom Pom twice when he meant to stop on Missy the second time, and has to take away Pom Pom's second prize. Things get even worse for him at his son Chucky's party as the kids get upset at playing the traditional way and he resorts to bribing them with money and Chucky's presents to make them stop crying.
