'''You'd Expect''': Sofia to stand her ground and insist that she and her family are good and don't mean any harm. Heck, she can even invite them to meet her family and see for themselves what they're like.\\

'''Instead:''' Lilo reluctantly goes "I guess if they say he's a troublemaker...", let's them arrest the whole town. Everything eventually goes back to normal, and Lilo learns AnAesop about accepting the authority of adults. If she's that inept as a king, she needs that lesson.

'''Instead:''' She wishes Sofia "wasn't a purple cat anymore." Sofia turns into a ''pink'' cat instead. It's only when Roland arrives does he word his wishing properly so Sofia turns back into her human self.

'''Instead''': She somehow never hears him despite being within earshot.

* "The Hole...Lotta Nuthin'": A black hole is about to destroy the whole galaxy and Wander has to keep it plugged with a finger while Sylvia goes off to find something to patch it up. He spends a long time bored, falling into a potentially helpless state; this attracts the attention of Lord Hater, seeing how helpless he is with no one around.\\

** '''You'd Expect''': Mickey or Minnie to set it up themselves or get someone reliable to do it. They wouldn't be short on options.\\
** '''Instead''': They let ''Goofy'', someone who is known for being TheKlutz, set the camera up.\\
** '''You'd Then Expect''': Someone to be spotting Goofy or at least be holding the latter in place. Since everyone seems to know each other, they all no doubt know about Goofy being a klutz.\\
** '''Instead''': Everyone just watches as Goofy dangerously mounts the latter, swaying all over the place.\\
** '''The Result''': Goofy falls and breaks the camera.

'''You'd Expect:''' For Amber to say something around the lines of "I wish Sofia was back to normal."\\

** First, they need someone to set up the camera for the big group shot.\\

** The next one comes directly afterwards, when everyone realizes that the camera has broken.\\

* "The Night Before Christmas": PlayedForLaughs. Santa gives a huge family the trimmings: a fully-decorated Christmas tree and enough toys to fill several boxes. The toys come to life to help him decorate the living room around the chimney.\\

'''Instead''': She tells Queen Emmaline that she'll have her family move their ship and never return. Even if Cedric didn't turn into a sea monster, she seemed to forget that her family didn't believe in mermaids and wouldn't have been convinced.\\

** Earlier in the movie, Sofia meets Oona who takes her to the kingdom of Merroway Cove. Once there, they overhear a conversation from the royal family about her family's ship. The royal advisor, Plank, suggests that Oona's mother, Queen Emmaline, conjures a storm to move the boat, which she refuses to do at first. Sofia then bursts in and reveals that she is actually a human and that the ship belongs to her family. The other mermaids reveal their distrust for humans, culminating from a bad encounter with another ship many years prior to the events of the movie.\\

'''Instead''': She somehow never hears him despite being within an earshot.

** In the first instance, the Golden Goose came to life and started everything around it into solid gold, including people. Poupon was about to use holy water in order to stop this madness from happening.\\

'''Instead:''' They fire their guns, breaking the glass containing it. This leads to the goose shedding its gold coating and threatening the whole world.

'''You'd Expect:''' That they keep running and possibly reach a craft that jetisons them out of the reach of the golden death.\\
'''Instead:''' They hide behind the fence in an attempt to stay safe from the golden death which does not work as it passes around the fence and petrifies them into solid gold. They were lucky Scrooge was able to fix this mess by returning the Golden Goose where it belonged.

'''Instead:''' He stays small and lets it chase him around.

'''Instead:''' He leaves everyone else under the villain's mind control, forcing Aladdin to fight them off. And you thought Aladdin was lazy.

'''Instead:''' She foolishly orders Chaos to stop. He doesn't take it well, to put it mildly.
** Surprisingly, such leverage is later delivered on a silver plate. After Chaos had bragged about how his godlike powers have saved the citizens of Agrabah from boredom, Iago promptly yells that with all the things happening all the time boredom is the ''least'' of their problems. [[GuileHero Aladdin]] immediately sees how to take advantage of the situation and asks Genie to show Chaos they're not boring.\\

** "Some Enchanted Genie": After Abis Mal steals his lamp, mistakenly believing he could control the Genie, Genie is searching for it since he takes it personally that Abis Mal took his personal property. While looking, he sees a young girl awaken the Genie of the Bottle, named Eden. Genie falls in love immediately as Eden makes Dhandi wish to never go hungry again, since Dhandi only wants to wish for a sandwich.\\

'''Or''': He'd would wish for the celestial being to permanently get rid of Wander (and possibly Sylvia too) and be rid of his arch enemy.\\

'''The Result''': The celestial being freezes Wander briefly before leaving, Wander continues pesting Hater when he unfreezes and Hater's and Emporer Awesome's minions all {{Facepalm}} at his stupidity.

* "The Pet": After getting separated from Sylvia, Wander finds a rogue alien in an abandoned spaceship, whom he names "Captain Tim" (after the alien captain whom it devoured), and begins to tame it. At one point, he offers the alien a teddy bear which it immediately rejects, destroying and wrapping in a cocoon; Sylvia eventually comes upon the cocoon and finds the bear's remains inside.\\

'''Instead''': She assumes that Wander had been eaten by the alien, and activates the ship's self-destruct to avenge him. It's only when she's fleeing the escape pod does she see Wander still alive and well inside the ship with the alien, does she realize this mistake.

'''The Result''': Wander and Sylvia pick up a loopy Hater, who proceeds to wander off under the mistaken impression that they are best friends and not enemies. Wander gives into temptation and tries to make Hater a better person, while Sylvia takes one embarrassing video after another of Hater. Peepers and the Skullship catch up to Hater ''much later'', and he ends up opening fire on his own men when they try to conquer the planet where he spent the whole day, because he threatened a little girl they met called Olive. Oh, and when Hater sees one of the videos that Sylvia took, he cracks all his teeth in anger, which means he’ll have to go back to the dentist.

'''Instead''': Seeing how helpless Wander is, Hater takes this time to use Wander's issue to the point he insults and makes fun of him, crushing his spirits even further until he completely loses all hope. He's only able to have his spirits lifted back when Hater brings up his favorite motto, "It never hurts to help," and this results in Wander instantly cheering up and making the best of it, angering Hater to the point he pulls off his own arm to plug the hole. Peepers points out if he should've just left him alone, then none of this would've happened.

* “The Waste of Time”: Wander while filling up on Orrble juice accidentally grabs the time traveling version. This means that he and Sylvia start traveling to the future and to past memories. Sylvia starts worrying about the time paradox and stepping on a butterfly to change their future.\\

* Meanwhile, Cass reveals that she inherited disdain for Eugene from her father. She initially believes that he is a GoldDigger looking to profit from dating the Lost Princess. Eugene, Rapunzel and the audience know this isn't true, since they spent an entire movie saving each other. There is also the fact Eugene turned himself in after the events of the movie, when he could have let Rapunzel go to the palace alone while resuming his thieving ways.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Cass to not antagonize Rapunzel's almost-fiancee. As a lady-in-waiting, her only job is to keep Rapunzel company and protect her from perceived threats. Besides which, Eugene ''died'' so that Rapunzel would have her freedom. While he makes mistakes during the series, he keeps prioritizing Rapunzel's happiness over his.\\
'''Instead''': Cass spends the pilot and second episode forcing Rapunzel to keep the fact that Cass sneaked her out as a secret, which drives a wedge between Eugene and Rapunzel temporarily until Rapunzel tells him and Eugene promises to keep his mouth shut for Rapunzel's sake. It also leads to Eugene understandably not trusting Cass and getting into fights with her. While Cass motivates Eugene to better himself and prove he is worthy of Rapunzel's love, she also is quite a {{Hypocrite}} with how she broke the rules to make Rapunzel happy and has endangered her on several occasions. Rapunzel attempts to make them bond by invoking FireForgedFriends and locking them in a dungeon, but they revert back to bickering soon enough. While eventually they grow to respect each other, it takes a dire crisis for them to make the first steps of progress. [[spoiler: {{Irony}} and LaserGuidedKarma eventually kick in when the Captain and the King bust Cass for sneaking Rapunzel out in the first place, while Eugene who has done no such thing is allowed to stay at the palace.]]
* Also eighteen years ago, Frederic wanted to save his pregnant wife. To do so, he consulted [[spoiler:Quirin, a village leader]], who warned him that uprooting the Sundrop flower to save Arianna would lead to devastating consequences.Frederic uproots the flower anyway, which leads to Gothel stealing his baby daughter and black spikes growing where the flower was. The spikes stop plant life from growing and cannot be cut by any sword or knife.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Frederic afterward would keep an eye on the black spikes, and warn Rapunzel as well as the royal family about them. It's his responsibility as the king to make sure his subjects are safe, and Rapunzel should be aware of the roots of her magic. Besides which, the flower was the whole reason she was stolen away, so she has a right to know.\\
'''Instead''': Frederic puts his head in the sand and does nothing apart from erecting a small plaque honoring the Sundrop and following up with [[spoiler:Quirin]] on occasion. The end result is that Rapunzel touches the spikes not knowing what they are when Cass sneaks her out to see them, causing them to grow and cause an infestation in the kingdom. Then when Rapunzel finds an important {{MacGuffin}} and decides to deliver it to Varian on receiving a prophetic dream, Frederic rather than ''talking'' to her [[spoiler:sends elite mercenaries to steal the {{MacGuffin}} and use it for unknown purposes.]]\\
'''The Result''': Due to this gross miscommunication, [[spoiler:the mercenaries, including Cass's ''father'']], nearly kill Rapunzel and her friends [[spoiler:and destroy her childhood home. Rapunzel is heartbroken on furious when she learns that her father ordered such a thing and decides to work with Varian to save the kingdom rather than trust Frederic.]] This leads to more devastating consequences, including [[spoiler:Varian's betrayal]] and the spikes devastating the kingdom.

'''Instead''': They let Goofy, someone who is known for being TheKlutz, set the camera set up.\\
'''You'd Now Expect''': Someone to be spotting Goofy or at least be holding the latter in place. Since everyone seems to know each other, they all no doubt know about Goofy being a klutz.\\

* "I Was A Teenage Abomination": Luz goes to explore a magical school on the Boiling Isles. She gets a bad first impression of witch Amity when the latter mocks a girl named Willow for her project. Luz goes to introduce herself and learns that Willow needs to create a living monster called an Abomination. Willow is terrible \\

* While Kim is under the effects of a chemical that makes her slowly disappear every time she gets embarrassed, she willingly decides to go on a date with someone.\\

* "The Picnic": Hater is able to get a wish from a celestial being that appears only when the planets align and he tries to wish to conquer the universe, but Wander keeps annoying him.

'''Instead''': Oscar keeps being an OverprotectiveDad while he and Trudy prepare for a double-date with her parents.\\
