Line 14:
* [[Affably Evil]]: Lawrence Van Dough.
* [[Agony of the Feet]]: Professor Keenbean suffered from this trope after inadvertently dropping a bowling ball on his foot.
* [[Ain't Too Proud to Beg]]: When Cadbury shoots at Van Dough, he falls off Mount Richmore, but gets caught on the scaffolding cords and hung upside down. Because he's dangling about and scared of falling he's practically begging the Rich family, whom moments before, he was trying to kill; for help. Even accepting his firing.
* [[Badass Family]]: Don't let the money fool you, The Rich family can kick ass when they need to. Richie after shrugging off gunshots from his bullet proof clothing is able to disarm Van Dough with a rapier and later knock him over a ladder. Richard throws a couple of punches at Van Dough after being disarmed. Regina is able to knock one of Van Dough's thugs out with a banjo before punching out Van Dough for all the crap he put them through.
* [[Bad Boss]]: Van Dough becomes this after he [[Tyrant Takes the Helm|takes the helm]].
Line 90 ⟶ 91:
* [[We Have Ways of Making You Talk]]: "How would you like to spend the rest of your life as a bedpan?"
* [[What an Idiot!]]: Van Dough is the ''chief financial officer'' of a incredibly valuable international corporation, and he automatically assumes the Riches keep their money in [[Scrooge McDuck]]-like heaps in a private vault instead of in the kinds of lucrative financial vehicles he should be familiar with because they're ''part of his job''.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have to Be Heights?]]: Subtle but when Van Dough is chasing the Rich family all over Mount Richmore, he's clearly scared of how high up he is. It doesn't stop him from trying to kill them, but whenever he gets close to falling it makes him panic. When Cadbury stops him and he's left hanging over Mount Richmore, he loses it [[Ain't Too Proud to Beg|begging the family he tried to kill to help him.]]
* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: The villains are [[Moral Event Horizon|more than willing]] to shoot children, turn them into bedpans, blast them with a laser, etc.
* [[You Have to Believe Me]]: Van Dough refuses to believe Keenbean doesn't know the vault's location.
