* AnAesop: Willy's family may have their quirks and their problems, but at least they're fundamentally decent people who try their best and aren't in denial about who they are or what they're about.

** Angela D'Angelo. She’s a genuinely kind girl, even though her parents are controlling neat freaks (to the point that even ''their dog'' is plastic-wrapped) and her older brother Damien is a {{Goth}} who inexplicably spends his time counting every single blade of grass in their yard.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: In "Rebel without a Nose Ring", Willy is repeatedly framed by Buzz for pranks that he pulled, making Principal Malfactor assume that Willy is a delinquent. And when Rock goes to the school to try to smooth things over, he only winds up making it worse, to the point that Willy has to get reviewed by the school board on whether or not he should be ''expelled''. When Rock comes to the meeting ''in a suit and tie'' as a means to back Willy up, he winds up belching fire because the tie was practically choking him. Willy pretty much assumes the worst at this point. Thankfully, the president of the school board is not only reasonable, but also a big Rock Zilla fan, so things work out in the end. And the cherry on top? [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty Buzz gets a month's detention for everything he pulled]], as it turns out said president is ''his dad''.

Added DiffLines:

** In "Meet The Zillas" Willy is annoyed that him and his family are being filmed for a reality TV show and constantly invading his privacy. He decides he wants off the show, but Rock points out he's a minor and that decision is not up to him.
** In "Home For The Holly Daze" Rock, seeing carolers at the family's door, gets inspired to go door to door with rock performances of Christmas music. However, what he doesn't realize is loud rock music is not the same as kids singing Christmas songs, as his music causes property damage, noise complaints, and an angry mob after him.

Added DiffLines:

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In "Rebel Without A Nose Ring" Rock's chili causes him to breathe fire and burns off all his clothes. We see a small fabric of where his pants were, but the position of the pants fabric on his body makes it look like his pubic hair.
** In "Meet The Zillas" after Willy is filmed in the tub, Buzz at school the next day mentions he saw his "epidermis" on TV. Now epidermis means your skin, but since Willy was naked it's obvious what he was supposed to be referring to.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Because Serenity has been so pampered all her life by her family, when she stays home from the family's camping trip in "Call Of The Wild" she has no idea how to run the house all by herself and at the end a bunch of animals make their way into the house (including a skunk that sprays her)
