!!The Switch contains examples of:
*ArchnemesisDad: [[spoiler: Hubert Spencer eventually becomes one to Tad, though the former doesn't know that.]]
*BigBad: [[spoiler: While he initially seems benevolent, it turns out to be Tad's dad, Hubert Spencer, as the villain behind everything.]]
*DisproportionateRetribution: In a flashback, Finn, when he did not like the teachers, burnt the school down with all of them locked inside it.
*DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler: Finn dies by falling off a ferris wheel after getting shot by Hubert.]]
*DrivenToMadness: Finn mentions he did this to a tattooist who put a massive spider tattoo on his face: by sneaking onto him at night and tattooing the thoughts that Finn has for him onto his body as revenge. Which are very vulgar. Needless to say the man couldn't handle it for the rest of his life and was put in a psychiatric home. Finn doesn't care, however: he says the man deserved it.
*EveryoneHasStandards: While Bob Snarby's parents are disgusting slobs, when the {{Sadist}} Finn threatens to kill their son, they are disgusted. They later mention that they regret ever meeting Finn.
*TheHero: Tad Spencer.
