* IResembleThatRemark: Quips jokes that Reginald should get help for his "anger issues" as it could lead to high blood pressure and then he said that is a "dangerous health risk for a baby" and Reginald denies that in a maneer that proves Quips right.
-->'''Quips:''' Hey Reginald, you might wanna get some help for your anger issues. It could lead to high blood pressure. That's a dangerous health risk for a baby.\\

* TooDumbToLive: Quips really thought that mocking the all-powerful youth guardian's appearance would get him some laughs. Instead it offends Reginald to the point that he seals Skips and Quips in a shrinking cube. And he ''still'' cracks jokes at Reginald's expense.

* DumbassHasAPoint: Moronic as it may be, Quips wasn't exactly wrong about some of the things he said about Reginald. Not only does he need to work on his anger issues, but his attempts at drawing ''could'' use an improvement, as even if he is a communications major that doesn't automatically make him an art major.
