* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Quinn saw her new planner as a way to be popular ''and'' organized since she can now sort her pending dates, and rate the guys based on the restaurant and the tips for the waiter. The guy she was dating gets upset when she starts to schedule their next date right in front of him, and places it after she goes out with other guys on the agenda, one of them his best friend.

* SheepInSheepsClothing: At first, Daria assumes Tad and Tricia are just pretending to be nice, "perfect" kids in front of their parents. When they are gone, she soon realizes that they are actually that naive and innocent.

* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: In Daria's flashbacks, we see how a young Daria and Quinn were with three different babysitters. The first one (a middle aged woman) breaks down in tears due to baby Quinn crying and toddler Daria demanding that they punish the baby, the second one (a very old woman) ''has a heart attack'' after weakly trying to stop Daria and Quinn fighting, and the third (a teenage girl) is humiliated by Daria while Quinn hits on her boyfriend about how she'll "be allowed to date in four years."
* BrattyHalfPint: Daria's flashbacks show that she and Quinn were...not great with babysitters. The Gupty kids avert it since they're still pretty good kids despite being very sheltered to the point of naivete (at least until Daria and Jane step in).

** Daria and Jane succeed with some TV. When they warn the kids to not tell their parents about this, they reply "Do you think we're stupid?". Mission accomplished. Though in a subversion, it's more that Daria and Jane are trying to break the kids out of their brainwashing and are teaching them to think for themselves.

* CrapsaccharineWorld: The Guptys' house. The parents pretty much brainwash their children into being good kids who never question adults, also alienating them from the outside world.

* SkewedPriorities: When Helen and Quinn go to the Time Management consultant, she asks them to make a list in order of their most important goals. Helen puts "Work" above "Reviving the relationship flame" (which she quickly undoes when Quinn reacts to this). Then Quinn puts "Dating" above "School" and Helen tries to correct her, but the consultant tells her to be honest to herself. Helen then rearranges her list with "Relationship mending" first.
