** OK, so earlier in the series, good guys had real names (Constance, Ambrose, Jess, etc...), and bad guys had, er, descriptive names (Redtooth, Darkclaw). Now, they tend to have nonsensical cartoony cutesypoo names like Dimp, Laggle, Flim, Dawble, Nobbo...
** Dibbuns in general. OK, Baby Rollo was funny. So were Bagg, Runn and Grubb. But as Jacques ran out of characters the dibbuns devolved into a sort of honey-sweetened sugarbowl hivemind. They've got them doing coordinated song and dance routines. And don't even get started on "Dibbuns Against Bedtime".

* [[Unfortunate Implications]]:
** For starters, the use of [[Exclusively Evil]] and [[You No Take Candle]]. Then there's a character who overcomes ''being confined to a wheelchair'' and blames it on her ''lack of willpower''.
