* MeanBoss: Daniel in episode 8 is a particularly unpleasant IHOP manager. He's an alcoholic who takes his frustration out on his employees (such as mville23113) by yelling at them in front of customers and causing them to lose tips; he's also not the most rational guy to work for, as he'll give mville three tasks to do at the beginning of the shift, and when they start on one, he'll yell at them for not doing one of the other two things first.
* MoodWhiplash: See BewareTheNiceOnes above.Each episode begins with Lloyd doing something mundane or wholesome before he reads the message du jour and flips out.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: The whole premise of the show involves Lloyd calling out various bullies and assholes for their atrocious behavior... in rap form.



** Episode 6 isn't much better. Some guy is bullying Lloyd for drinking a juice box (With the story written on the label) And he splits into 2 people, who hold him down and drink him with a giant straw.
** Subverted with episode 7, where all he does is kick someone in the face. Though he does it with robot legs...and then subverted further in episode 8, where all he does is snap a pencil in half. [[OverlyLongGag After several failed attempts.]] And episode 9, where he just leaves the chess game.
