* NotThatKindOfDoctor: When Rock Zilla's alma mater granted him a honorary doctorate, he thought he'd be that kind of doctor and started practicing the shout of "Calling Doctor Zilla". When he was told it wasn't that kind of doctorate and he'd instead be a sort of professor, he shouted [[ComicallyMissingThePoint "Calling Professor Zilla"]].

Added DiffLines:

** And then there was the time Rock came out with his new single, "Rulebreaker". The MoralGuardians flip out and vilify Rock in the media, thinking that he's encouraging rampant chaos and destruction. Willy gets a lot of grief about it at school, until he finally explodes and sets the record straight on what Rock was ''really'' trying to criticize, namely stifling, oppressive rules that don't make any sense.


Added DiffLines:

* MoralGuardians: Willy's had to deal with grief from these people whenever they take offense to Rock's music.


Added DiffLines:

** Crystal also got the idea to publish her own line of New Age therapy exercises, and she asked Rock to come up with background music for them. Rock does his best, but he admits to Willy that without drums it all seems so horribly pointless.

* DeanBitterman: Principal Malfactor



* AAmNotMyFather: Willy spends a lot of his time, especially in earlier episodes, trying to convince people that he's "just Willy" and not that much like his parents' weirder qualities. On the other hand, he knows that his parents are GoodParents and genuinely good people and will angrily point this out to people who just assume they're horrid.

* BerserkButton: Willy can usually take comments about his family in stride, as he knows they're pretty weird. But he ''flipped'' on the D'Angelos for insinuating that his parents ''must'' be horrible parents (especially for essentially calling his mother a gold digging tramp).

* InTheBlood: Will ''is'' a good musician, he just prefers a simple trumpet and more classic songs. Likewise, Serenity got her dad's materialism, though she's more bratty with it, and Willy seems to get his sense of understanding from his mother.


Added DiffLines:

** Also, inspired by Willy's simple trumpet piece at a talent show, he opened one album with a short, classical moment on the piano before breaking into the usual explosions and crazy. Willy loved it.

* MistakenForSubculture: A lot of Willy's problems come from people assuming that A) He's like his parents and B) that his parents fit every bad trope about Rock Culture.
** Taken UpToEleven with Angela D'Angelo's parents, who assume Willy's mother is some tramp and gold digger despite just seeing her from a distance once, and Willy's only hope of dating their daughter was to pretend he had different parents (which was blown out of the water once they started making comments about how awful the Zillas were).
