* ValuesDissonance: A good majority of the humor revolving around Donkeylips are fat jokes. From the perspective of creator Steve Slavkin this was supposed to come from a point of authenticity, since it’s almost certain some kids could relate to the torment. The problem being this was not a show meant to be taken seriously, and most of the humor early on was came FROM Donkeylips, rather than being aimed AT him. This was made all the worse because Michael Bower's acting was a Major source of income for his family, and he had grown so accustomed to the Donkeylips role that he was too afraid to lose weight because of the typecasting. Heidi Lucas, the actress who played Dina went into detail about this sort of cruelty:

--> In the episode where Donkeylips had a crush on Dina… there's this scene where the girls are in the cabin and Telly and Z.Z. are basically telling my character that I have to go do this thing even though I really don't want to. And I said something mean about his hair or his breath or what he was wearing… and in real life it hit me; I don't know this person. That’s not what I would have done in real life. You don't make judgement calls like that. I wasn't certain my opinion was the right one, though, and I was thinking it at the time that we were getting paid to perform the script that people were getting paid to write… I could have said something to make [Bower] feel better, but I didn't have the mental capacities to, because I was twelve.
