* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Brer Rabbit becomes this at the mid-point of the movie after having tricked the other animals one time too many. Only Brer Turtle still likes him, but then Brer Turtle is the one animal Brer Rabbit has helped rather than harmed with his tricks.
* GoKartingWithBowser: According to Brer Turtle, this is part of the animals’ culture. When they aren’t trying to eat the prey animals, Brer Fox, Brer Wolf, and Brer Gator will join in on parties and other activities such as fishing like regular neighbors, though Brer Fox will still act as a SitcomArchenemy to Brer Rabbit. Janey, they human girl, is naturally confused by this.
