* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Prince Charming. After enduring grief and humiliation now that he no longer has the power his mama gave him, all he wanted was his own Happily Ever After... which he probably would have gotten had he not stayed a [[Card Carrying Villain|''villain'']] by choice.

* [[They Changed It Now It Sucks]]: The initial reaction to the song "Donkey Pot Pie" being replaced with "Forever." This has died down since then.
