* JerkassHasAPoint: Brandy was rightfully angry at her mother for [[WhatAnIdiot not hard-boiling the eggs that were used for the birthday party]]. Her mother tries to argue, but stops herself as she realizes that her daughter is correct.

* KnuckleCracking: According to Dana, Brandy does this when there are no adults around. And when the alien egg is cracking the morning after Dana discovers it, he initially thinks Brandy is doing this.

* MyNewGiftIsLame: As part of the presents she got, Brandy's grandmother gave a pair of fuzzy slippers and a pair of pajamas. Dana can tell that she doesn't like either of them, and she'll probably give the former to a dog as chew toys and she pretended to really enjoy the latter.

* SpoiledBrat: Brandy, the [[SignificantGreenEyedRedhead red-haired, green-eyed]] younger sister of Dana who gets everything she wants. She's not nearly as bad as Tara from ''Literature/TheCuckooClockOfDoom'', though.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: A case for both sides. When Dana goes to Anne's house to show her the egg creature, he finds that she is having [[{{Irony}} scrambled eggs]] for breakfast (Dana even lampshades the irony of this). But when he shows it to her, she thinks it looks like rotten eggs that were used as a sick prank to ruin her appetite. Even more so when her mother comes along to grab the egg creature and ''[[ObliviouslyEvil empty it in the garbage disposal]]''. Luckily, Dana saves it just it time.

* FailedASpotCheck: When Dana discovers the Martian egg at egg search party.

* NonIndicativeName: Three of Brandy's friends are the Hair Sisters. None of these girls are siblings, but they hang out a lot and obsess over their hair.

* TemptingFate: While the egg fate is going on, Dana thinks to himself that Anne wouldn't participate in something so disgusting and immature. But then Dana is immediately almost hit by a handful of eggs from her.

* BirthdayPartyGoesWrong: At Brandy’s egg party, the guests quickly discover that the eggs that they are supposed to be finding and collecting were not hard-boiled, which means they are easily breakable and gooey. Being rambunctious ten-year olds, the guests abandon collecting them and start throwing it all over each other and around the backyard, much to Brandy’s distress.

** Dana notes later on that if it wasn’t for this egg-themed party, he would not have found the Martian egg in the first place.
