* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Reverend gave Lord Victor a golden bullet to kill the Were-Rabbit. He may not be so pure then.
* [[Complete Monster]]: In ''A Matter of Loaf and Death'': [[Serial Killer|Piella Bakewell]] is the [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|seemingly-sweet]] villain of this short. After gaining too much weight to keep her job as a model, Piella [[Disproportionate Retribution|murders bakers associated with the company she worked with]], killing twelve in total and keeping their hats as trophies. Seeking to kill "a baker's dozen", she seduces the kind-hearted Wallace and makes multiple attempts on his life while trying to create a wedge between the man and his protective dog Gromit by [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit|framing him for attacking her]]. During the short's climax she attempts to kill Wallace with a bomb disguised as a gift, and tries to murder Gromit and her own dog Fluffles, who she [[Domestic Abuse|heartlessly abuses]], when they intervene. With none of her [[Laughably Evil|comedic moments]] detracting from the viciousness of her villainy, Piella stands out as [[Knight of Cerebus|a very dark antagonist]] in an [[Vile Villain Saccharine Show|otherwise light-hearted franchise.]]
<!-- %%* NightmareFuel: [[NightmareFuel/WallaceAndGromit Here]]. -->
* {{spoiler|[[Complete Monster]]}}: {{spoiler|Piella bamboozles Wallace into falling in love with her solely so she can then murder him out of an intense hatred towards bakers, [[Disproportionate Retribution|whom she blames for her massive weight gain]]. Bear in mind that she's already succeeded ''twelve times over'' when she meets our heroes -- in other words, she's crossed the [[Moral Event Horizon]] ''before'' the first scene, in which she murders her latest victim. That's not even mentioning her abuse of poor Fluffles, or how she falsely accuses Gromit of attacking her in order to make Wallace distrust him. In short, she's the darkest villain yet in this series, and she dies without any hint of remorse or redemption.}}
** On the other hand... {{spoiler|Her last scene is her thin self as a ghost waving goodbye to Wallace and ascending to Heaven, implying either that there may have been some level of redemption to grant her access to Heaven, or that Wallace, ever the [[Cloudcuckoolander]], is hallucinating.}}
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Shaun the Sheep from ''A Close Shave'', to the point he [[Spin-Off|got his own series]] in 2007. ''[[Shaun the Sheep]]'' in turn had its own [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] in the form of Timmy the lamb, who got his own kiddy series, ''[[Timmy Time]]'', in 2009.
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: The series is quite popular with the French, who enjoy the quirky British humour.
Line 9 ⟶ 7:
* [[Karma Houdini]]: {{spoiler|Wendolene in her poaching sheep to get free yarn. In fact she expresses no suprise as her robot dog is killing sheep en masse to make dog food}}.
** {{spoiler|Fluffles is also implied to have been assisting Piella murder at least a dozen bakers. Both examples are shown to be rather remorseful however, unwillingly dragged into the act by the much more callous [[Big Bad]], and eventually draw the line after it goes too far.}}
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Wendolene:''' I want no more of this rustling! It wasn't so bad when it was just the wool but, this is ''evil''!}}}}
** {{spoiler|Wendolene didn't exactly get away without a punishment if you consider the fact that Preston actually tried to kill her and ground her up into dog food when she finally tried to stop him.}}
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: During his malfunctioning, {{spoiler|Preston attempts to turn Wendolene and the sheep into DOG MEAT!!!}} Surely ''that'' qualifies.
Line 20 ⟶ 18:
** {{spoiler|''"Oh Gromit, [[Tear Jerker|I don't wanna be a giant rabbit!!"]]''}}
** Twitch, the scared, frightened pup in ''Muzzled!''
** "The Cooker" from ''A Grand Day Out'', the [[Designated Villain]] that just wanted to get to Earth and ski in it's mountains. Even though [[Throw the Dog Aa Bone|he did get the ski run he always wanted]] [[Fridge Horror|that loose change likely isn't going to last very long.]]
** Wallace at the end of A Close Shave. After everything that they had gone through up to that point to [[Earn Your Happy Ending|earn their happy ending]], Wallace finds out that {{spoiler|Wendolene is allergic to cheese and can't stand it at all}}.
