* ExtremeDoormat: Mrs. Hinton is this. Also, Peter. Early in the episode, he was very much the pacifist and was not at all willing to fight Buddy, despite his taunts and eye-blackening punches.

Added DiffLines:

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The Hinton men cover this in spades, quite unusually for a wholesome family sitcom.
** Buddy Hinton is willing to make fun of little girls in ways that tears down their self-esteem and mocks Cindy for her lisp, showing him to be ableist and potentially sexist. Worse, he has a MightMakesRight mentality when it comes to fighting, using fists against Peter.
** Mr. Hinton is likely the source of Buddy's attitudes towards fighting others, kids with disabilities, and even towards women. He has a SocialDarwinist mindset that is about tearing "weaker" people down, even physically, and if Mrs. Hinton is to be believed has "strong opinions on raising boys" and that she better stay out of it, marking him as likely a misogynistic abuser.
