* [[Celebrity Is Overrated]]: Tommy choosing between friendship and social status in "Pleased to Eat You".

*** Apparently there were dark suspicions about the neighbor's dog.

** Also, when he "suits up" to go up against Vampire!Corey Haim. He even lampshades this when he points out that the headband might be a bit "too effeminate".

* [[Cursed With Awesome]]: He may not be able to touch silver, or even think of kissing his crush without inadvertently transforming, but his powers come in handy both with fighting evil and scoring touchdowns.

* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: Merton, full stop.

** [[Lampshaded]] in an episode where Tommy is in a parallel dimension where he wasn't a werewolf and didn't fight evil with his friends. When he explains this and they get caught up in their "first" fight:
