20	** Carl always talks about how great his parents are, but the more his parents are shown, the more apparent it becomes that they are actually abusive towards him.
21	** Carl's parents are very loving towards him...but [[ParentalFavoritism not to his siblings.]]

23	* '''Parodied''': Carl's parents are StupidGood.

33	* '''Discussed''': "I wish my parents were like Carl's."
34	* '''Conversed''': "''Troperville'' has way better parents than my parents."
35	* '''Deconstructed:'''
36	** Alice and Bob are loving parents, but Carl is a horrible person. They try their best to remain good to him despite this, but they eventually snap and become AbusiveParents.
37	** Alice and Bob are PushoverParents, and as a result Carl doesn't learn that his actions have consequences.
38	* '''Reconstructed:'''
39	** Carl's parents becoming very abusive because of his awful behavior causes reality to hit him like a truck full of bricks. He improves his ways, and Carl's parents are once again loving. [[AnAesop A life without friends is a depressing one indeed.]]
40	** Alice and Bob eventually put their feet down, to Carl's surprise. They remain loving parents, albeit more strict, so that Carl knows right from wrong.
