* BystanderSyndrome: It is clear that Bull is more than capable of brutally killing Urkel, if not beating him beyond recognition and [[CruelAndUnusualDeath doing]] [[AndIMustScream far worse]] innthe process. Yet on the afternoon of their final confrontation, when Bull is making his final ultimatum and Urkel stands his ground, none of the other teenagers – including Rodney and Laura – step in to stop Bull ... this even knowing that they could witness someone, even if it's someone they don't particularly like, could be seriously injured if not killed. Only Eddie, who walks in [[JustInTime almost too late]], is willing to stand up to Bull.
