to:

* {{Irony}}: Dinkler is a huge fan of Edison and looks up to him as a hero; however, he tries to cover up Edison's worst traits in history; however, by covering it up, he's not a true Edison fan. The cover up is really unrealistically since historians would have told the class the whole truth about Edison's real history anyway. If Dinkler was a true Edison fan and look up to him as a hero, he would have accepted both good and bad moments in Edison's history and taught the class everything about him.

* AssholeVictim: Dinkler is mortified and driven to tears after Louise tarnishes his idol's image in front of a live audience. But given that he's been a complete ass the entire episode, that Louise isn't just slandering his idol (Edison really ''did'' do the thing Louise exposes him for), ''and'' that there's other things to prioritize (namely how Tina literally could have ''died'' in front of an audience), nobody in-universe or out feels bad for him.

* HateSink: Dinkler proves to be one of the show’s most unlikable characters from his abrasive behaviour towards Louise to ignoring the fact that Tina could’ve died.
