Slashed trope of "With Friends Like These/Toxic Friend Influence" not allowed anymore. Only the latter qualifies as this trope anyway. Fixed.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: Beaver's friends are often the catalyst for his getting into trouble.
** Gilbert Bates: In "Ward's Golf Clubs," Gilbert pressures Beaver to go out and hit golf balls with his dad's clubs until he does so. Beaver winds up breaking one of the clubs as a result. In "Long Distance Call," Gilbert and another friend talk Beaver into making an expensive long distance phone call to a well-known sports figure. It winds up being far more expensive than expected.
** Larry Mondello does this frequently. In fact, he often goads Beaver into bad behavior when his friend initially decides not to do something he shouldn't. In "Ward's Baseball," Larry eventually convinces Beaver (against his better judgment) to toss his dad's autographed baseball in the front yard, resulting in its destruction. In "The Pipe," Larry dares Beaver to smoke his dad's meerschaum pipe (using coffee, no less) after Beaver's refusal, ruining the title object. In "Beaver's Prize," Larry convinces Beaver to defy his parents having grounded him; they go to a movie and are later caught. In "Beaver's Fortune," Larry picks a fight with an older kid at school and then backs out, letting Beaver do his dirty work; when he tries this again, Beaver finally ignores him and Larry deservedly gets punched in the stomach.
** Whitey Whitney: In the episode "In the Soup," Whitey dares Beaver to climb into an oversized soup bowl on a billboard to see if there's actually soup inside. Beaver gets stuck inside the display.
** While Eddie Haskell is often a catalyst for Beaver getting in trouble, he is not Beaver's friend.
** Technically, the only friend of Beaver who ''never'' gets him into trouble is the elder fireman, Gus.
** Gilbert Bates: In "Ward's Golf Clubs," Gilbert pressures Beaver to go out and hit golf balls with his dad's clubs until he does so. Beaver winds up breaking one of the clubs as a result.

-->Hey! Here they come with a rum-tee tum they're having a toy parade.\\
A tin giraffe with a fife and drum is leading the kewpie brigade.\\
A gingham cat in a soldier's hat is waving a Chinese fan,\\
A plastic clown in a wedding gown is dancing with Raggedy Ann.\\
Fee fie fiddle dee dee they're crossing the living room floor\\
Fee fie fiddle dee dee they're up to the dining room door.\\
They call a halt for a choc'late malt or cookies and lemonade\\
Then off they go with a ho ho ho right back to their toy parade.

** In Season five's "Beaver's Electric Trains", Beaver tells Gilbert that Wally, who was a high school teenager at this point, takes a lot of "showers in the day time". It's safe to say that any hormonal teen who had to share their bedroom with a younger sibling could probably relate.

** Even though Ward was truly a "father knows best" archetype, a couple of episodes did point out that he wasn't without his faults. One episode had Ward really come down hard on Wally and Beaver … too hard, and when the boys ran into trouble, they were afraid to come to him for advice; Ward realizes that he acted out of haste. In another episode, when Wally and Beaver are late a couple of times delivering newspapers, the parents try to pick up the slack by delivering for them – except they delivered the wrong papers … not knowing that Wally and Beaver already had completed that day's delivery run with the correct ones, and they cause their sons to get fired.

Ward in the early episodes also gets angry very easily, not a typical trait for this type of character.

** Larry Mondello does this frequently. In fact, he often goads Beaver into bad behavior when his friend initially decides not to do something he shouldn't. In "Ward's Baseball," Larry eventually convinces Beaver (against his better judgment) to toss his dad's autographed baseball in the front yard, resulting in its destruction. In "The Pipe," Larry dares Beaver to smoke his dad's meerschaum pipe (using coffee, no less) after the latter's refusal, ruining the title object. In "Beaver's Fortune," Larry picks a fight with an older kid at school and then backs out, letting Beaver do his dirty work; when he tries this again, Beaver finally ignores him and Larry gets punched in the stomach.

* InJoke: The Season 6 episode "Beaver on TV" contains one when the music from the tag for the show's production company, Revue Studios, played prior to the intro of "Teenage Forum"; the show Beaver was to appear on (as it happened, Beaver left to get some water just before the producer [[spoiler:announced a format change where the show was switching from airing live to being recorded to air the following week]]).

** In a late season episode, Wally is looking for a car of his own and Ward insists on helping him. The first one they examine looks prestine, but turns out to be a smoky and immobile wreck, but the last car they find is a beat up old used car, but it runs smooth as if it just came off the assembly line.
