Tropes in this video include:
- Abusive Parents: Mr. Goodman is this to Pepper.
- Bad Boss: Santa Claus actually Kris Kringle is this, first demonstrated when he executes an elf for doing a sloppy job putting a mr.potatohead toy in the box, and then threatens to make the other elves "suck his candy cane".
- Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Goodman thinks of this of Pepper, saying that he chose to ruin his life by peeing on a school bus, and has no sympathy for his current plight at all.
- I Have No Son!: Goodman completely disowns Pepper as his son for peeing on a school bus.
