 Diary of a Wimpy Kid
comment
A long-running series of heavily-illustrated novels by Jeff Kinney based on his webcomic of the same name hosted on FunBrain, aimed at preteens. They tell the story of Greg Heffley, a self-proclaimed "wimpy kid" attempting to navigate the pitfalls and perils of middle school life. The books are presented as Greg's own journals, filled with handwritten notes and stick drawings of his daily adventures.Greg's family includes his mother, Susan; his father, Frank; and his two brothers, Rodrick and Manny. Rodrick is older and often picks on Greg, whilst Manny is the baby of the family who can get away with anything. Other kids in the neighborhood include Greg's friend Rowley, and the strange kid Fregley, who lives down the block.One of the most popular and influential children's book series ever, spawning a massive movement of similar children's realistic fiction book series presented as diaries that combine text and drawings.The books to date are: Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2007) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2008) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw (2009) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (2009) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth (2010) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever (2011) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel (2012) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck (2013) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul (2014) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School (2015) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Double Down (2016) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Getaway (2017) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Meltdown (2018) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Wrecking Ball (2019) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Deep End (2020) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Big Shot (2021) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Diper Överlöde (2022) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: No Brainer (2023) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hot Mess (2024; upcoming)There is also a Do-It-Yourself Book (2008; expanded in 2011) and, tying in with the film adaptation of the first book, a making-of Movie Diary (2010; updated in '11 and '12 to include the sequels, and a separate one called The Next Chapter about the making of the Long Haul film in '17), as well as three Spin-Off books set in a Perspective Flip from Rowley; Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid (2019), Rowley Jefferson's Awesome Friendly Adventure (2020), and Rowley Jefferson's Awesome Friendly Spooky Stories (2021).The series got multiple film adaptations, the tropes for which can be found here.For other children's book series in a diary format, see Dork Diaries and Dear Dumb Diary. See also Zombie Kid Diaries, which was the subject of a lawsuit alleging copyright infringement against the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.For tropes concerning the original webcomic, go here.

Elderly Ailment Rambling
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_11a7e2ca
comment
Elderly Ailment Rambling: Greg's great-grandmother Gammie gives him "the talk" about how he should enjoy his childhood and not rush to grow up. She mentions that getting to be her age isn't fun, and starts talking about hemorrhoids and shingles. When she starts rolling down a sock to show him, he quickly leaves the room. In one book, Greg pranks his great-grandmother with a Whoopee Cushion, but she doesn't feel it and thinks she genuinely farted. In her apology note, she claims to have had "trouble controlling her body" and wonders if her recent surgery had given her gas. In Dog Days, Greg tries to write a newspaper comic named "Hey, People!" a blatant Author Tract where he complains about other people's habits that he finds gross. One strip depicts him overhearing an old man loudly discussing his ingrown toenail surgery while at a restaurant.

The Millstone: The pig causes nothing but trouble for the Heffleys by eating food it shouldn’t that belongs to them and making the most simple of tasks difficult. And that’s when it’s not actively trying to cause trouble. When it does, it usually results in a lot of property damage.

 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_13646b1b
comment
Greg feels that the girls and Rowley misunderstood the point of the egg sitting project; instead of just taking care of their eggs, they also decorated them and even knitted elaborate pouches for them. He has a point, as the assignment was to simply keep the egg from breaking until the next health class and they get so imprinted on the eggs that they enter hysterics when the teacher disposes of them.

With a Foot on the Bus: The book sets up Greg's family moving away from Surrey Street. Rowley is very upset about it, and he has a going-away party with other people in his neighborhood. But when the last bit of construction goes wrong, the house is in disrepair and is not sold, so Greg and his family have to stay.

Blind Without 'Em: Greg's cabinmate Emilio Mendoza is as blind as a bat without his glasses, something Greg finds out after he and fellow cabinmate Jeffrey Swanson accidentally break Emilio's glasses in a high-five. This bites the whole cabin in the butt later when their deoderant raid is found out by Mrs. Graziano, who caught Emilio stumbling around in the dark and brought him with her.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: A kid called Mitchell Pickett sells pre-made snowballs. When there's a big snowfall he expands his business to include more advanced weaponry like snowball launchers, icicles and even custom-made snowballs with a slushy center. He sells to the kids on the Surrey Street hill and the kids on Lower Surrey Street who are in a constant feud with the kids on the hill. He buys a snowmobile with the money he makes. Greg comments that this proves war CAN pay. One imagines Mitchell would be very successful as an amoral Arms Dealer should he decide to go down that route when he grows up.

This Loser Is You
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_15184afb
comment
This Loser Is You: The readers are meant to identify with Greg, who is not only a self-proclaimed "wimpy kid", but who regularly gets tormented from the bigger kids around him and hangs out with the likes of Rowley and Fregley. Probably not the best example of this trope though if he's meant to represent the average Middle School reader since Greg is just really lacking in places where most of his age would be decent at or even excel.

Frank's a Jerkass and Bumbling Dad, Susan's absolutely oblivious to how teenagers are nowadays, Rodrick's a step away from dropping out of school, Manny is a spoiled brat who can't seem to stay in school and Greg is a slacker who could very well end up like Rodrick.

Genre Savvy: Greg knows that most classics his mom will force him to read will have the Death by Newbery Medal trope. He does mess up on one prediction, though. He says that because Charlotte's Web is a "Classic", either the girl or the pig won't make it to the end of the book. He doesn't finish it, so he doesn't learn that it's Charlotte the spider who dies.

Unreliable Narrator: The books are a downright Sadist Show filled with incompetent characters whereas Greg seems to view himself as the Only Sane Man, but even his journal entries leave hints to the reader that all is not what it seems in his world. An example where it's Played for Laughs is during The Ugly Truth, Greg says that they got a good thing going whereas Rowley is shown pulling Greg up the hill.

Poor Communication Kills: Prior to Uncle Gary marrying his second wife Lydia, they have a conversation where Lydia says she has "30 thousand dollars, maybe 40", whereas Uncle Gary says that he has 45. He means that he has 45 total dollars, but she thinks Gary means that he has 45 thousand dollars. Lydia doesn't learn the truth until they get married and the time comes to pay the band, which results in a divorce.

Helping Another Save Face: After Rowley is forced by a group of older bullies to eat "The Cheese" (a piece of moldy cheese on the playground that became infamous at the school), students are suspicious to where it went. Wanting to save his friend the humiliation of what happened (as well as try and rekindle the friendship), Greg claims that he got sick of the Cheese and threw it away, causing the students to be grossed out by him instead of Rowley.

comment
Apathetic Pet: Sweetie. When Frank adopts him, he doesn't get along much with the other members of the family. The only one he shows much affection to is Susan, and she doesn't pay him a lot of attention either. He is afraid of Frank and can be a nuisance to Greg. This ends up being the reason why the Heffleys give him to Gramma.

The Compliance Game: Greg complains that his grandfather bought him a "laundry hoop" for Christmas. It's a plastic hoop attached to a net, and said grandparent claimed it would make putting his clothes away more "fun", but Greg says that Grandpa essentially bought him a chore.

Greg is not happy with the fact that Manny's constantly ratting him out. He notes that he used to be a tattletale until the day he was cured of the habit; he overheard Rodrick swearing, so he spelled it out and Susan gave him the Soap Punishment and didn't punish Rodrick for saying it first.

Parents as People
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_20989d05
comment
Parents as People: Even through Greg's Protagonist-Centered Morality, it's clear that Susan and Frank have their own flaws to work through and do love their sons. They do want the three to succeed better, and they just don't provide the necessary means to actually help them. Other parents across the books are also shown to be flawed, but well-meaning.

Egg Sitting

comment
Egg Sitting: Greg and his peers are tasked with preventing an egg from breaking until their next health class. All the boys break their eggs except for Greg and Rowley; Susan accidentally scrambles Greg's egg for breakfast. The girls (and Rowley) get theirs to school safely, some having sewn little pouches for their eggs and decorated them with sparkles and glitter, but they burst into tears when the teacher collects the eggs and throws them in the trash. Greg's conclusion is, "This assignment has got me seriously worried about the next generation of parents in our country."

Plaster Cast Doodling: After Rowley breaks his hand and it gets encased with a cast it draws the attention of other students who want to sign it. Greg gets jealous of the attention, so he wraps his arm in gauze, pretends he has an infected splinter, and offers students to sign his "sympathy sheet" (a clipboard). The only one who wants to sign it is Fregley, who wants to look at Greg's so-called infection.

comment
Failed a Spot Check: While participating in a "Last to take their hand off a truck wins it" contest, Rodrick is apparently down to just one more competitor in the form of fellow band member Bill, and the two argue over who should get to keep the truck. They decide to both simultaneously release the truck in hopes that they would both win it after striking a deal, only to find that they had neglected to check if anyone was still holding onto the other side of the truck, resulting in them both losing to someone who was.

Group-Identifying Feature: Discussed. When Rowley goes through a phase of copying Greg, the latter ends up rolling up one pants leg and and tying a bandanna to his ankle. The former copies, and their neighbour mistakes them for "thugs" sporting the "gang colours". In "Old School", there are some teenagers in a reform camp, who all wear orange jumpsuits.

Books vs. Screens
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_2d0db1a5
comment
Books vs. Screens: Dog Days features two examples. First is when Greg and Rowley are traumatized after watching a horror movie and Mrs. Heffley thinks it's because twelve-year-olds aren't reading enough and so starts a reading club (which she then captions the photo of with "The Reading is Fun Club says, 'no' to video games"), then later when the boys stay at a hotel without computers and TV, the Jeffersons suggest Greg read instead, which he thinks is ridiculous. In The Long Haul, Rodrick watches movie versions of books and does book reports on them, rather than reading the books. This causes him trouble when he's asked to read The Lord of the Rings but instead rents a wrestling movie called Lords of the Ring.

Platonic Valentine: Zigzagged. Greg is made to write Valentines for his whole class, which does include Holly, his crush, but it also includes his friends, and his rivals. He decides to just say what he thinks of everyone, which ends up offending the rivals. He also wrote a Valentine for himself, saying, "Dear Greg, I hate your guts", to cover his tracks after offending the rivals.

But as she got older, she "wasn't as sharp as she used to be" and started putting strange things in the eggs, including green beans, tissues, and her extremely valuable diamond ring.

Troublesome Pet: Frank decides to buy a new dog, to the rest of his family's displeasure. The dog, named Sweetie by Susan, is lazy and is particularly a nuisance to Greg: he sleeps in the middle of Greg's bed—leaving little room for Greg to sleep on—then use Greg's face as a launch pad when he gets up; when not on bed, Sweetie likes to laze around on the living room couch, which prevents people from sitting down and watch TV, then bark at the TV unless a particular commercial is playing. He is eventually given away to Greg's grandmother.

Not Helping Your Case: When the Heffley family are at the country club with stranger's clothes, a security guard confronted them, saying that they were reported for wearing a family's missing clothes. Instead of coming clean and explaining the truth to him, Greg steals the guard's golf cart with his family behind them, and they attempt to take off. Not only do they fail to escape as the guard catches up with them, but this act also convinces him that the Heffley's intentionally stole the other family's clothing to use for themselves and attempted to flee in order to avoid getting caught, and he refuses to listen to any further explanations as he makes them give back the clothing and kicks them out of the resort.

Karmic Butt-Monkey: Greg is an egotistical, smart-alecky Dirty Coward who often doesn't give a damn about others. He usually ends up paying for it whenever he steps out of line in any way, especially when he tries to hide what he's done. Although in some of the later books, bad things happen to him for no reason, even if it's not (directly) karmic.

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_372bc105
comment
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: A good example of the cynical attitude in the books is the Hero Points story. The teachers start giving Hero Points to kids whenever they catch them doing good deeds, and the points can be exchanged for rewards like extra recess time. Not even this manages to make them nicer: most decide to fake good deeds when teachers are around, or just buy counterfeit Hero Points. After the program is shut down due to the rampant counterfeiting, Greg remarks that "now that extra recess is off the table nobody's willing to do anything nice".

Diaries Are Girly: Greg insists on calling his diary a journal, despite the cover saying otherwise, to avoid being called a sissy. Rowley, on the other hand, proudly owns a diary that's clearly designed for little girls, a "Sweet Secrets Diary" that has hearts on the cover. Greg is desperate to find out what Rowley writes about, but the cover has a lock on it, so Greg convinces his Dad to buy an identical diary so he can use the key to open Rowley's. Mr. Heffley, unaware of this plan, is not happy about this.

comment
Took a Level in Kindness: Rodrick towards Greg, that is. In this book he's never seen bullying Greg like in the older books. The closest thing to it is the band making Greg carrying their stuff so that they don't have to do so themselves. When Greg later demands to be payed for his services in the band Rodrick doesn't even object and immediately accepts it.

Absurdly Powerful Student Council: Greg wins a bid to be principal for a day, which in real life is generally a ceremonial position with some limited responsibilities, like being a student council member. Nonetheless, the school secretary asks him to sign checks, the janitors can get extra days off from him, and a teacher asks him for a better parking space. Greg lampshades that he isn't sure if he actually has any binding authority to do this, but none of the adults seem to think otherwise.

Broken Aesop: In-universe, Greg's class watches a video called "It's Great To Be Me" about how you should be happy about who you are. All the kids at Greg's school (most of which are bullies) misinterpreted it as "it's fine to be a jerk if you're already one". The illustration emphasizes his point by showing a bully shoving a kid to the floor and saying, "It's great to be me!" and his friend laughing.

Bittersweet Ending: Löded Diper doesn't win the Battle of the Bands competition and Rodrick's main band members quit to pursue their own ambitions. On the plus side, Bill reconciles with him and the two begin reforming the original Löded Diper, while Rodrick's favorite band, Metallichihuahua, is back in the music business and better then ever, indirectly saving the latter from a lawsuit involving his band's name. Greg is also relieved that the whole debacle is over, and refuses to get involved in a rock band's life again.

Greg complains about a kid copying his lemonade stand even though making one wasn't his idea in the first place — his father did the same thing as a child and suggested it to him. Downplayed, since Frank suggested this explicitly so that Greg could make his own, whereas the other kid saw their work and emulated them with a bigger budget.

Middle School Is Miserable
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_45ab69e6
comment
Middle School Is Miserable: This trope is one of the codifiers. The series pulls no punches in its portrayal of middle school as a nightmare where pubescent awkwardness reigns and everyone is a dick. Protagonist Greg Heffley (who's hardly immune himself) even says as much in the first book, noting that the mix of pubescent and prepubescent students is a natural recipe for disaster. Although it's noted more than once that Greg's school is an exceptionally bad one, with the worst test scores in the state, and literally falling to ruin in No Brainer due to loss of funding and staff layoffs.

Mistaken for Thief: How the Heffley's get kicked out of the resort initially, as they used clothes that they got in a wrong suitcase to get access to the country club there. They were planning on returning them after they left the club, but the family of the original suitcase spots them and assumes that they stole it to gain special privileges. This causes the Heffley's to be ordered to return the clothing to the owners, and the security guard who caught them drove them to the airport, as the resort does not tolerate "theft."

Then later In-Universe. Greg creates a comic called 'Creighton the Cretin', which focuses on the titular idiot. When he gets published, the published comic (where Creighton eats his maths test) is turned into a blatant ad for the local school library. He promptly quits, and when Rowley takes his place, the published Zoo-Wee Mama comic is published without edits. Greg is understandably pissed.

Butt-Monkey: Rodrick really gets it bad during his shift at the Old-Timey Ice Cream Parlor; he's initially stuck taking the trash out and getting embarrassed by Susan's attempts for the Heffleys to stick by him as long as possible when they visit him at work. The manager then "promotes" him to the position of the parlor's mascot, Old-Timey Tobias, and poor Rodrick suffers Produce Pelting and attacks left and right by angry kids. And on the night Greg is taken to the restaurant to celebrate his seemingly great academic process, Rodrick's attempt to take the carpool lane to go to work faster is a disaster and ends with the police having his trusty Löded Diper van towed away, leaving him an open target for passing kids while walking on the side of the road. Thankfully, he does not lose his job over this.

Sealed Evil in a Can: Played for Laughs with the Cheese Touch. It's just a slice of expired swiss cheese that somehow became the basis of an Urban Legend in Westmore Middle School. Anyone who touches it or a victim of the moldy cheese becomes infected with the Cheese Touch, causing everyone to scream in a blind panic as they try to get away from the "infected". The only cure to the Cheese Touch is to pass on its "curse" to someone else. After Abe Hall moved out as the last person cursed by the Cheese Touch, the remaining students swore to never go near the cheese again in hopes that the curse would end with Abe.

Foul Ball Pit: The family-style restaurant Corny's has a play area with a large ball-pit and a plastic tube area with slides. Manny got stuck in the tube area and was too scared to come out, so Greg had to rescue him since he was the only person in the family that could fit inside the tubes. It was difficult for him to find his way around there, and when he got inside, a kid had vomited and all the other children were running away. The tubes smelled like dirty socks so heavily that Greg had to throw out his favorite pair of jeans, because he couldn't wash out the smell no matter how hard he tried.

Special Effect Failure: In-universe where Greg tries to create a homemade horror movie on No Budget: Rowley is the only actor, and has to act for many. Since Greg has no video editing skills, this means that no scene in the movie can feature more than one character. Rowley plays an unnnamed woman. Unfortunately, he refuses to wear a dress, and they don't have a wig for him. He ends up wearing yoga pants and a hooded sweater, and having the character never show her face. They try to make a scene in which an unnamed man tries to take a shower, but worms come out instead of water. Greg can't find a way to make it looks natural, and settles for throwing gummy worms at Rowley's face and hoping it'll look realistic once they make the final cut. They use ketchup as fake blood. Discussed when Greg points out that he still hasn't figured out how to film the climax of the movie, which would feature a battle against a giant worm. Sadly, they never get around to attempting this scene at all.

Combat Pragmatist: Downplayed as we're talking about a non-physical contest here, but some people in the "last one to take their hand off a truck wins it" competition play fairly dirty in order to sabotage others.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Greg lampshades that it seems he's been in Middle School forever. That book represents the fourth time we've seen Greg start a school year and each successive book spans a shorter period of time (the first being a year, the latter books spanning months or weeks). Then again, it's pretty normal for some schools to consider Middle School as being up to the 9th or (on MUCH rarer occasions) even 10th grade.

Be Yourself: This stock aesop is discussed and mocked, where one chapter has Greg complain about his class watching a movie titled It's Great to Be Me and how the message of being fine just the way you are and not needing to change anything about yourself is a terrible lesson to tell the kids in his school. His point is proven by an illustration of two bullies declaring "It's great to be me" while beating up another kid.

Nobody Likes a Tattletale: When Greg and Rodrick were little kids, they used to tattle on each other so often that their mom gave them a toy turtle called the Tattle Turtle that they could tell their problems to instead of her. It worked in Rodrick's favor, because he could do things like steal all the money from Greg's piggy bank and Greg couldn't tell their mom. Greg is not happy with the fact that Manny's constantly ratting him out. He notes that he used to be a tattletale until the day he was cured of the habit; he overheard Rodrick swearing, so he spelled it out and Susan gave him the Soap Punishment and didn't punish Rodrick for saying it first.

Spiteful Spit: The Plainview-Slacksville rivalry dates back so far, it's tradition in Plainville elders to spit whenever they just mention Slacksview, illustrated with a pair of seniors spitting when one of them says he has to go to Slacksville to fix his vacuum cleaner.

Buy or Get Lost: While stuck out of their homes in the freezing weather outside due to their parents intervening, Greg and Rowley attempt to hide out in a pizza parlor to keep warm by the kitchen oven, but the owner made them leave once he figured out that they only came in for the heat. But the next day, the two boys decide to come in again and buy a meal this time, so they could bask in the warmth of the newly baked product. The owner is visibly not amused at them taking advantage of this escape clause.

"Scooby-Doo" Hoax: Downplayed. While there is no disguise involved, the Urban Legend of deranged murderer Silas Scratch was invented by Frank Heffley to frighten his fellow campers away from the maintenance shed so he wouldn't have to share its running water and electricity.

Sickening Sweethearts: This is the reason why there's a couples table at the school's cafeteria. The couples will be acting so sweet to each other that no one would stand being near the table. Towards the end of the book, Greg gets a sick feeling when he has to take Rowley and Abigail's picture for the school catalog and sees that the two had been voted the cutest couple.

Downer Ending: The Heffleys' vacation to Isla de Corales is ruined by Contrived Coincidences and bad luck; Rodrick is left with severe sunburns and finds out his new girlfriend is cheating on him, Manny loses all of the animals he tried to take home as pets, the resort is left in shambles, and the Heffleys have been banned from Isla de Corales, which is now trying to actively track them down, meaning Frank and Susan can't return to the place they had their honeymoon for some time. The only one who gets what they want, ironically, is Greg, who briefly gets to swim with the dolphins, the thing he wanted to do the most, while fleeing from the local police and to add salt to the wound, The Meltdown reveals this led to the Pig running away.

comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The story takes place over an entire school year - later entries would take place over a few months or even only about a week. There is also not much of an underlying "Theme" or a story arc to the first book, therefore it comes off as more of a Random Events Plot compared to the later books. While the book establishes it's trademark illustrations, at one point, one of them is on the bottom right corner of a page rather than a part/half of a page. Something the books never did again.

Playing a Tree
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_4ff31e76
comment
Playing a Tree: Greg is a tree in his school's production of The Wizard of Oz. Subverted in that he wanted this role (it meant he got to throw apples at Dorothy AKA Patty Farrel), in part because he didn't want to be in the show but was forced to audition by his mom. Another student gets the role of a shrub due to more students auditioning for the play than there are roles. He ends up delaying the start of the play due to stage fright. Greg even comments on how ridiculous the whole situation was. In the movie adaptation, Greg wanted a main role in the play to make Rowley jealous. He can sing extremely well, but he's a male soprano. The theatre director said the only soprano parts in the play were Dorothy (Patty quickly made her drop that idea) and the Trees.

Tabloid Melodrama: Greg discusses avoiding this at the top of the book as a key reason he'd rather not be famous. But if someone like Rowley were to become famous and Greg rides his coattails, the latter will gladly take advantage of it to sell gossip about the former to the press! This is one reason Greg goes along with becoming the band's roadie.

 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_527b0932
comment
Annoyingly Repetitive Child: In Dog Days, Manny tries to pass the time in the car by telling lame jokes. At first, his parents play along with it, but as time goes on, even they become annoyed by his nonstop jokes. Two examples in The Last Straw; Manny the toddler calls Greg (his middle school-aged brother) "ploopy"note Or "pootie" in the original webcomic as a childish insult. Greg approaches Susan when she's on the phone to tell her about what Manny said and says, "Mom?" several times. She is quite annoyed by this interruption and asks what that even means, which throws him for a loop. Manny then continues to call him a "ploopy" for the rest of the day. (Though he isn't quite so pleased when Greg calls him that later.) In The Ugly Truth, the middle school boys are having a sleepover at the school. One of them farts loudly every once in a while, and Mr. Palmero gets tired of this, so he orders the students to cut loose behind the curtain. The guys then take this opportunity to make fake flatulent sounds such as Blowing a Raspberry or playing a low note on a tuba for quite a while.

Mistaken for Gay: Greg and Rowley sneak into Gramma's house while she's gone so that they can get warm. Greg figures that they could warm their clothes in the dryer in the basement, but since they’re naked otherwise, they decide to use some of Gramma's clothes. Cue Greg's mom walking in on them. Initially, it seems that she’s in Tranquil Fury that they went into Gramma's house without permission to do shenanigans, but she later sits down with Greg to tell him that it's okay for boys to "play pretend" and that it's part of growing up. Greg doesn't understand what she means, but it's obvious to older readers what she was thinking.

Frank is more mature and has a steady job and a family, but he’s also stuffy and acts like he’s far older than he really is. As expected, Frank doesn’t really like Gary, although Gary is nicer to Frank. Their brother Joe is a combination: He has a family and career and is mature, but is fun loving and comedic. While Frank is annoyed by him, he does seem to like him.

Ambiguous Syntax: When Greg is talking about his uncle Gary's previous marriages, an illustration is shown of Gary and his second wife Lydia discussing finances. Lydia says she has thirty five or forty thousand dollars in her bank account, to which Gary says he "has forty-five". Lydia thinks he means forty-five thousand dollars, but as Greg mentions in his narration, Uncle Gary only has forty-five dollars total. This ambiguity leads directly to their getting divorced.

Not Allowed to Grow Up: Greg started middle school in the first book and stays there. Jeff Kinney is on record saying Greg will be in middle school forever. This was the reason why everyone had to be recast for the film adaptation of The Long Haul, since a Floating Timeline doesn't translate well and age is an unstoppable factor.

Getting Sick Deliberately: When the students hear that they can be sent home from Hardscrabble Farms early if they're sick, they try to think of ways to make themselves ill. Melinda eats a lot of the chef's stew, which is made by compiling the campers' leftovers, to give herself indigestion and she gets to go home. Julian eats an entire stick of deodorant and he also gets to go home, though by the time his mother comes to pick him up, he seems to have gotten better, so he may have faked eating it.

"Take Your Child to Work Day" Plot: Greg's dad takes him to his office job on the designated day. To offset the boring aspect of the work (and let the adults get some work done), they hire clowns to distract the kids. Greg watches his father work, and to get rid of him, he sends Greg to get some snacks. Greg returns with jawbreakers, which Greg's father finds even more distracting. Greg sits in the bathroom to eat, and his parents forget about him at the end of the day, only for him to be discovered by the nighttime janitor.

 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_6a4f3cf7
comment
Took a Level in Dumbass: While books like Rodrick Rules establish Rodrick as dumber than Greg, he does have moments like tricking Frank into writing his assignments for him, and showing Greg how to avoid Fregley by going through the sewers. In The Long Haul, he locks a pizza in a safe that he confuses for a microwave oven and somehow believes that his brains have been blown out and eaten. Double Down has him applying to dog colleges. Greg notes that he doesn't know if Rodrick doesn't realize they're for dogs, or if they're the only ones he thinks he can get into.

Mistaken for Insane
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_6acebb1e
comment
Mistaken for Insane: In the first book, Rodrick tricks Greg into thinking it's the first day of school. Frank yells at Greg for waking him up so early in the morning and Greg tells him what Rodrick did. They go to Rodrick's room, where he has fallen asleep so that he won't be suspected, and Greg comments in his narration that Frank probably thinks that Greg "has a screw loose or something". In "The Long Haul", the Heffleys' car gets a flat tire. Two men stop their car and approach them, and since they only speak Spanish, the Heffleys try to non-verbally tell them what happened by pointing to the tire and blowing a raspberry to simulate a deflating sound. Greg notes that the guys probably think they're crazy, at least until Manny notifies them of their situation in Spanish.

Serious Business: Toilet paper for the students at Greg's school. One candidate for student council president didn't bother campaigning at all and his entire speech was him promising to make the school replace the regular toilet paper with the quilted kind. He won the election by a landslide. It's decided that, since the school doesn't have enough money to replace the toilet paper, kids can bring in their own from home. The kids bring in so much of it, they have to carry bags of the stuff to class with them because it wouldn't fit in their lockers.

Clueless Chick-Magnet: Rowley. He doesn't seem to be all that interested in girls, yet in Rodrick Rules he's managed to socialize with some of the most popular girls in his year. At the end of The Third Wheel, he ends up in a relationship with Abigail. It doesn't last, but that he'd be used to make another boy jealous is impressive.

Multiple Choice Form Letter: The candygram messages used to raise money for the Valentine's Day dance are designed for the giver to fill in their and the recipient's name. Greg tries to cover multiple bases by filling in the blank with one girl's name, then writing in a P.S. telling her that if she doesn't want to go to the dance with him, she should give it to a particular girl who sits nearby.

Once Done, Never Forgotten: In "Rodrick Rules", Rodrick keeps bringing up "that thing" that happened to Greg over summer (Specifically, he accidentally entered the women's bathroom at a retirement home and was mistaken for a Peeping Tom.) and threatening to tell people about it. In one book, Greg reveals that his classmate Cody gets called Dookie by his classmates, teachers, and even the principal, all because he once stepped in dog poop. One book reveals that Greg's father Frank believes Rowley Jefferson to be accident-prone just because Rowley once broke a plate.

Laborious Laces: Rowley is described by his best friend Greg as "one of those kids who are always gonna be a few years behind everyone else maturity-wise." He's in middle school, but doesn't know how to tie his shoes because he still has Velcro instead of laces. Last year, his mom bought him sneakers with laces, and Greg had to help him tie them numerous times.

Rowley, on the other hand, proudly owns a diary that's clearly designed for little girls, a "Sweet Secrets Diary" that has hearts on the cover. Greg is desperate to find out what Rowley writes about, but the cover has a lock on it, so Greg convinces his Dad to buy an identical diary so he can use the key to open Rowley's. Mr. Heffley, unaware of this plan, is not happy about this.

Big Bad Ensemble: Greg Heffley has plenty of enemies, mostly bullies or adults that look down on him. Namely Rodrick, Patty, Mr. Jefferson and in Cabin Fever, Manny. The movies make the main villains more clear: Pete Hosey in the first, Bill Walter (the closest you're gonna get) in the second, and Heather Hills and Stan Warren in the third.

Cheaters Never Prosper
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_72d30083
comment
Cheaters Never Prosper: In order to get higher grades so they're allowed into the High Flyers Club program, some students resorts to cheating, but they usually end up caught. Adam Katz put a sticker with all the answers on his water bottle during a chemistry test, but he was discovered because it was clear to see what he was doing. And during a science test, Damon Fell made a fake arm to put on his desk while he used his real arm under the desk to look up the answers on his phone, but that fell apart when his phone got a notification. Some kids do get away with their cheating, such as a group of girls who wrote the answers to a history test on the back of their necks and then moved their hair out of the way so the girl sitting behind could see it. And in English, some boys used their pens to communicate in Morse code.

Thermometer Gag: After getting his temperature taken by a veterinarian (since it was the only doctor's office the family could find), Greg is informed by Rodrick that they stick the thermometer somewhere else when they check the temperature of animals, and they probably use the same one for all patients. Greg is briefly freaked out, but figures he should take it with a grain of salt since Rodrick's not all that smart, and is eating pellets meant for animals at that moment.

Creator's Culture Carryover: There is an arcade in one scene which is depicted as having retro arcade games from the 2nd to 6th generation and redemption games such as basketball hoops. While this is pretty accurate to Arcades in the United States that don't upgrade their video games and put emphasis on ticket games, most arcades in Latin America put emphasis on newer cabinets from the 7th and 8th generation that put emphasis on fighting games (though they are unoffical cabinets that run on Xbox hardware)

Periphery Demographic: An in-universe example: Rowley's favorite musician is a European singer named "Joshie", but Greg looks at the album cover and immediately tells Rowley that Joshie's music is more than likely targeted at eight-year old girls. More or less confirmed in The Ugly Truth, when Rowley talks about the time when he went to a Joshie concert and is the only boy at the concert. (And the only one over 10, to boot.)

In "Dog Days", Greg overhears Frank talking about giving someone away and wonders if he's talking about him. Later, he looks in Frank's schedule and finds that it has "Sell Greg" written in it (it's implied Rodrick wrote that). When Frank tells him to get in the car because he has a surprise for him, Greg panics and calls the cops on him. Then it's revealed that Frank was actually planning to take Greg to a baseball game and he even got front-row seats. However, Frank no longer has the energy to attend the game and gives their tickets to the cops. Also, Frank was going to give their dog Sweetie away.

Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Greg. The movies downplay this a bit and make him a more fleshed out Jerk with a Heart of Gold, so if we take the movies as to what really happens behind the scenes, then Greg really needs to work on writing himself better in his journals.

Artistic License – Animal Care: A monkey is regularly served at a swim-up bar. This is frowned upon in real life, as even if they were serving it safely (such as with bananas rather than alcohol), there would be concerns over it attacking human patrons.

Chickenpox Episode
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_838de192
comment
Chickenpox Episode: During the book, there's an outbreak of chicken pox, stemming from local Kidanova Evan Whitehead. Greg is surprised that you can even still get chicken pox anymore. Later, Greg and Rowley are about to go to a school dance, but Greg sees that Rowley has a few red bumps on his face. Thinking that he's gotten chicken pox, Greg has him wear a hat and a scarf to cover it up. At the dance, Greg sees that Abigail has a red bump by her lip and freaks out, fearing that she's gotten it too. As it turns out, neither of them had chicken pox and they were just zits. Ironically, Greg himself gets chickenpox at the end of the book.

comment
Artistic License – Law: No health laws would allow Hardscrabble Farms to serve the stew to the campers, given that the "stew" is actually leftovers combined into one pot, and they use the same pot from over thirty years ago. The stew even gave a camper indigestion. Other aspects of the camp clearly violate health and hygiene code. The pancakes were hard enough to break someone's teeth. There was no running water to allow campers to properly wash themselves as water had to be transported via a bucket from a river during a challenge (and they apparently have only one shot to do so), which could contain leeches and other things you wouldn't want pouring over you in the shower. The mattresses on the bed had weird stains on them while the floor inside the cabins was extremely filthy.

Trojan Veggies: According to Greg, Rowley's mom is "one of those moms who sneaks healthy food into your snacks." She puts spinach in her brownies, but she doesn't hide them very well, as Greg can immediately tell they have spinach in them when he takes a bite. The first time Rowley had a regular brownie was at Greg's house, and he spit it out in surprise.

Small Town Rivalry: Greg's hometown of Plainview has an ugly feud with a neighboring town named Slacksville ever since Slacksville (supposedly) used bribery to get a profitable factory built in their town instead of Plainview. They are bitter sports rivals, but it goes deeper than that. Plainview changed its zoning laws so a smelly dump would have to be built in Slacksville, and Slacksville stuck Plainview with chemically dangerous lumber under the guise of a peace offering.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Discussed. Greg reads a Preston Platypus book where Preston's best friend, Pelican Pete, moves away. He thinks it's fine until the ending in which Preston makes new friends and just forgets all about Pete, and that it's never shown if Pete is happy in his new neighborhood. He considers writing the author an angry letter over this.

Kiddie Kid: Greg's best friend Rowley acts like a seven-year-old. It's justified by the fact that he's extremely sheltered because of his overprotective parents. Manny might be a "baby kid", being older than 5 (two years have passed after he mentions that he's only 3), but still acting like a toddler.

Parental Favoritism: Greg's parents clearly favor Manny, to the point where he's becoming a Spoiled Brat. Manny is allowed to get his way, such as throwing tantrums over minor things like how his sandwich wasn't cut the right way. And his parents let him do it. Manny is also Gramma's favorite (all you need to do is look on her fridge for proof), to the point where everyone in the family (yes, even Susan) is aware of it. Grandpa, however, will tell you straight up who his favorite is.

 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_89434320
comment
Protagonist-Centered Morality: Greg suffers from this big time. For example, in Rodrick Rules, he mistreats Chirag Gupta by pretending he doesn't exist. If the same thing happened to him, he'd almost certainly complain about it and call the kid(s) doing it to him bulllies. The book series might actually be one of the best explorations of this trope, especially if one treats it as a look into the worldview, life and perceptions of a borderline amoral Middle School student.

The Dreaded "Thank You" Letter: Greg doesn't want to write his Christmas thank-you notes due to wanting to spend time on his snowman-building project instead. He hurriedly writes fill-in-the-blank letters with the format, "Dear A. Thank you very much for the awesome B! I love the way the B looks on my C. All my friends will be so jealous that I have my very own B. Sincerely, Greg", which comes out looking awkward when he thanks his aunt for a pair of pants.

Wild Teen Party: Mariana Mendoza is known for hosting annual Halloween parties, which are rowdy and wild. Her parents don't care, as long as the party stays in the basement. A year before the books' events, the party got so large, that it spread to outside the house and the police had to end the party. This year, Mendoza only invites the band (actually only the woodwind part), so Greg tries to join the band. When Greg's mother accompanies Greg and Rowley to Mendoza's party, she takes control of it and changes the party from what could become a wild party to a tame party with games typical of children's parties. This made Greg a target of derision from the boys who were unhappy about this intervention.

Bathroom Control: In the first book, this is played with. Rowley informs Greg that he needs to go while they're trick-or-treating, and Greg has him hold it for forty-five minutes. By the time they reach Greg's grandmother's house, Rowley's quite desperate, so Greg lets him use the grandma's bathroom (though he threatens to steal some of his candy if he doesn't hurry up). In The Last Straw, Patty the Academic Alpha Bitch becomes the classroom monitor and is noted to take her job way too seriously. Greg asks if he can be excused to use the bathroom and she responds with a Blunt "No".

Didn't Think This Through: In a flashback, Greg explains that one of the reasons why soccer was better when he was little was being able to have slushees at the snack bar. But then Susan and the other parents had the stand changed to sell only produce and granola bars as snacks, resulting in sales dropping-and the field becoming overgrown, because selling the slushees paid for upkeep.

Laser-Guided Karma: At the start of the book, the teachers either barely teach about what they're supposed to (Mrs. Lackey only teaches about countries she's planning on visiting with her husband after she retires as it's her last year) or not at all (Ms. Pritchard uses her smart board for things like helping her pick out which breed of puppy to get). Needless to say, when the school has to take a standardized test, the student's scores tank so badly (Greg mentions there wasn't a single question about farts or burps which is what Mr. Rask was near exclusively teaching everyone due to apathetic students) the middle school makes the news as a result.

Lovable Jock: Preet Patel is the only good player on Greg's team (at least until he's injured early on) and is surprisingly nice for a jock in the series. He happily goofs around with Greg and the other un-athletic kids in one scene. He later shows up to cheer for them during the final game after their humiliating season, while happily agreeing to play while wearing an orthopedic boot.

Movie-Making Mess
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_9320c28e
comment
Movie-Making Mess: Greg tries to make a horror movie titled Night of the Night Crawlers. He has to shoehorn jokes into the script because the only actor, Rowley, is easily frightened and doesn't even want to make a horror movie. Rowley keeps forgetting his lines and refuses to wear a dress when he plays an unnamed woman. The terrible special effectsinvoked include throwing gummy worms at Rowley's face in an attempt to make a scene where worms come out of the shower. After Rowley runs out of the house with barely any clothes on and climbs a tree to escape the geese that ate the gummy worms on the ground, Greg's dad gets home and the attempt to make a movie comes to an end.

comment
You Are Grounded!: Extra chores aside, Greg gets punished a lot of times in this book: He suffers a week of grounding for spraying Frank down with a garden hose to check if he's a robot. Back in fourth grade, Susan took away his TV privileges for a whole month for faking a bullying case and getting an innocent kid in trouble (something he admits he deserved). Frank then bans him from video games, TV, or friends for two weeks for "goofing off" instead of performing at a music festival (Greg says that the only thing he can do is practice his instrument, which he thinks is the point).

Erick and Kenny are consequently mad at Greg, despite Kenny being the one who honked the horn in the first place.

Throw the Dog a Bone: Greg manages to be on the winning team in the last round of the "second chance" tournament and avoids being part of the worst basketball team of the state, though he was transferred to the Funky Dunkers during the match. Not only that, it's because of his throw at last possible second his new team wins and he's seen celebrating and having genuinely a great time with his new team.

Stealing the Credit: Greg's Schools' lunch lady created a new food called Fudgedogs, tofu dogs dipped in fudge. They become a hit and are beloved be the students so much that when the new Principal tried to stop their production, the students protested and succeed in getting them back. After the school is shut down and Greg is sent to Slacksville Middle School, he introduces the recipe to the school and they love it just as much as the Plainview students do. When the school opens back up, they can no longer make Fudgedogs, because Slacksville decide to take the claim for making them, patented the recipe, and even made it so that production of Fudgedogs outside of Slacksville against the law.

Foreshadowing
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: The Reveal at the Battle of the Bands is hinted at throughout the book thanks to the details given about Metallichihuahua as well as the designs of several characters. At one point there's a picture of every band member of Metallichihuahua with their respective names on it. The lawyer who sends Rodrick a letter later has the exact same name as the band's singer and when he shows up in person at the end it's revealed that he is in fact Metallichihuahua's singer. When Warwick recalls the band's breakup, he says the lead singer went back to law school and their bassist went in to "some kind of law enforcement." This hints at Stewart becoming a lawyer and Wayne becoming a security guard. Also, eagle-eyed readers may recognize that the security guard at the Suck E. Cheese's looks awfully similiar to Metallichihuahua's bassist. In fact, that's exactly who he is.

Attack of the Political Ad: Parodied. When Greg runs for treasurer, he makes posters claiming that his opponent had head lice in second grade, to which Vice Principal Roy informs him that spreading "fabrications" of other candidates is not allowed (even though Greg tells him that the head lice incident actually happened). This gets him kicked out of the election.

Greg learning about humans only using 80 percent of their brain and discussing chaos if people got to use the other 20 percent of their brain may be a reference to Lucy (except this movie uses the premise of people only using 10 percent of their brains), while the depiction of characters using telekinesis and floating with chaos ensuing may be a reference to Chronicle.

In "The Long Haul", the Heffleys' car gets a flat tire. Two men stop their car and approach them, and since they only speak Spanish, the Heffleys try to non-verbally tell them what happened by pointing to the tire and blowing a raspberry to simulate a deflating sound. Greg notes that the guys probably think they're crazy, at least until Manny notifies them of their situation in Spanish.

Status Quo Is God: In the last act, the middle school is closed due to bad test scores and lack of funding and the students are sent to other schools (splitting up Greg and Rowley). Rowley ends up in a prestigious academy with lots of luxury stuff like massage tables, while Greg is sent to a school in the rival town of Slacksville but becomes the smartest and most popular student in school (it’s not a high bar to beat) and starts dating Sophie, the daughter of the local millionaire. Within a few pages, the old middle school gets a new stream of funding and reopens, getting all of the students sent back there (something few of them appreciate), and causing Sophie to dump Greg due to the difficulties of long-distance relationships.

Uncool Undies: Greg is given a pair of Wonder Woman-themed underpants that he is too ashamed to ever wear. However, after running out of clean clothes to wear, he is forced to wear them to a birthday party where his pants end up slipping down and revealing the underpants to everyone.

"Brave the Ride" Plot: Zigzagged in Dog Days. Greg wants to ride a ride called the Cranium Shaker, and he does but he gets nauseous. Rowley on the other hand is too scared to ride it but gets a shirt saying he survived the Cranium Shaker anyway.

Not So Stoic: The normally quiet and reserved Alex Aruda ends up in the Principal's Office after he deliberately makes a mess so he could get a lollipop after learning Greg has been handing them out as part of his Principal For A Day and then he starts crying when he is in the office, likely from never being in trouble before.

comment
Conforming OOC Moment: Greg says that all the boys in his class read a book series called Underpants Bandits. This isn't OOC on its own, but it becomes this trope when he says they'd become illiterate if the teacher banned the books, implying that's all they read. Actually, one of his male classmates, Alex Aruda, is nerdy and it's clear he reads a lot more books than just Underpants Bandits.

Underdogs Never Lose
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_ab031997
comment
Underdogs Never Lose: Zigzagged. Greg's basketball team is made up of students who flunked the tryouts for the good teams (and the coach's athletic son, who's quickly injured), and it shows. They try hard, but fail to win a single game during the main season and only score a handful of points. Then, Susan enlists them in a two-day "second chance" tournament where all of the worst basketball teams from each league play each other, and each team that wins a game exits the tournament. All of the teams there are underdogs, but the other underdogs keep beating Greg's team, who end up as one of the last two there. They play against the Funky Dunkers, five kids who have some athleticism and grit but are all pretty short and only have five players. This makes the Funky Dunkers the underdog for most of the final game and they end up beating Greg's team, although Greg is transferred to their team beforehand to even the odds after a Funky Dunker is injured. So Greg gets to be on a winning team, but none of his original teammates do.

Don't Touch It, You Idiot!: In an incident from the original webcomic that becomes a flashback in Hard Luck, a younger Greg has to stay with his Aunt Cakey for the night while his parents are away. Right before Greg goes to bed, Aunt Cakey tells him not to touch the iron because it's still hot. Guess what Greg does after Aunt Cakey goes to sleep.

Think of the Children!
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_ac06a60c
comment
At first she only showed concern if Greg did something she objected to, and was sometimes embarrassing and behind the times of what teenagers were into, such as trying to get Greg less interested in video gaming. Her stern attitude only showed if something severe had happened (such as Rowley's broken arm in the first book or the party that happened in Rodrick Rules). As of Hard Luck, however, Susan's character has essentially delved into a Think of the Children! type mother who shows extreme distaste to anything electronic to the point she gets the town as a whole to unplug (which she simply bribed her way through by getting elderly party-goers of Grandpa to sign the signatures she needed).

Foul Cafeteria Food: When Greg arrives at Hardscrabble Farms, he learns that the food he's given is not only disgusting (one kid got a pancake as stiff as a board), but it's also recycled from past meals. So really, it's anyone's guess how far some of the food dates back to.

Retool: The book focuses on just one summer trip, whereas all the other books unfold over longer timespans — one year for the original, six months for 2 and 3, and two-to-three months for later installments. Also, the book takes on a much more cartoony tone than the previous ones. It focuses less on satire and more on the ridiculously bad luck of the Heffleys, while also introducing a bizarrely intelligent pig that only gets more humanlike over time.

Holding in Laughter: In Hard Luck, whenever the Heffley family is having a reunion, Greg always tries not to laugh when something silly happens. One time, when his great-grandfather blew out the candles on his birthday cake, his dentures went flying out of his mouth, and Greg tried not to laugh, especially since his mouth was full of chocolate milk. He tried to think of something sad, but all he could come up with was Sweetie the dog wearing a sweater. Then he thought about Sweetie farting in his dad's face and laughed so hard he spewed chocolate milk everywhere.

Santa Ambiguity: While the webcomic clearly states that Santa isn't real, the books leave it ambiguous. The first book strongly indicates that Greg no longer believes in Santa, but in Cabin Fever he does and seems to act like he always has. The book also has a doll named Santa's Scout who behaves as an Elf on the Shelf expy and supposedly reports to Santa at night. He changes his position every day but Greg never sees him move and wonders if it's really Rodrick who moves him, though he still avoids acting badly when within the doll's sight, just in case.

Moral Myopia: The lower Surrey Street kids do not allow any of the upper kids to step on the flat ground they have and force them to stay on the hill. But during winter, the lower kids want to use the hill to sled, and the upper kids defend them just the same as the lower do with their part. And the lower kids don't seem to realize that this is just like how they defend their part during the other seasons and are always trying to take the hill.

Everyone Has Standards: Principal Bottoms is a Dirty Coward who engages in some pretty ludicrous promotions to raise money (like renting sticker space on the science textbooks to a flat-Earth-believing magazine called Science Scoffers). Still, when he puts the name of the school up for bidding, even he refuses to accept a bid from a school in a rival town who submit the name "Slacksville Rules! Middle School."

Take That!: Li'l Cutie, a saccharine newspaper cartoon about a ridiculously cute little boy, is a Take That parody of The Family Circus. Precious Poochie is a parody of Fred Basset and other pet-focused comic strips that have likable main characters but not particularly funny punchlines.

Gossipy Hens: A variation. Albert Sandy has a lot of stories to share at lunch, such as how a guy practiced jumping out of a hole that he made slightly deeper everyday until he was able to jump several feet in the air. Whether or not they’re actually true, if he's gullible and believes they're true when they're not, or if he's spicing it up or not is never revealed. Of course, the other kids believe him straight, though Greg has come to realize by The Meltdown that most of what he has to say is just complete nonsense.

Dysfunctional Family: We finally meet the rest of Susan’s side of the family and they’re just as dysfunctional as Frank’s. Especially Susan and her sisters, to the point where Greg is shocked that they all grew up together. Conflict brews as Greg's relatives desperately try to find Meemaw's ring. Greg is arguably the least dysfunctional here as he hides the ring to avoid conflict, even though he could pocket it for himself.

Hide-and-Seek Horror: Played for Laughs. Greg and Rowley have a sleepover and watch a horror movie, and in the middle of the night, they hear a small voice coming from the closet that says, "I'm hiding...can you find me?" They run up the stairs and Greg tells Dad that the house is haunted and they have to move immediately. Dad roots through the closet and discovers that the noise is from a talking doll named Hide-and-Seek Harry.

Demoted to Extra: In the books, Fregley slowly becomes this, meriting only one mention in The Third Wheel. Though in Hard Luck Fregley does get a lot more attention. He becomes the most popular kid in school, because he can launch stuff from his belly button across the room. After disappearing completely for the next four books, he returns in The Meltdown for two jokes and has a cameo in Wrecking Ball. Collin was a major character in the webcomic as Greg's second best friend but he only makes a brief appearance in the first book and most of the stuff he did in the webcomic is given to Rowley. He has a different design in the books as well.

Baffled by Own Biology: In the first book, Greg makes a comic about Creighton the Cretin. Creighton asks a doctor to get him a new butt because his old one has a crack in it. The exasperated doctor informs him that everyone's butt has a crack in it. In "The Third Wheel", Rowley sees a pimple when Greg has him look in the mirror, and freaks out, thinking it's chicken pox. Greg can't correct him, since he also thinks it's chicken pox, which is why he had him look in the mirror.

DIY Dentistry: Greg mentions that he was too nervous to let anyone pull his loose tooth out when he was younger, so Frank tricked him into tying his tooth to a door and slamming it. He then brings up his younger cousin Georgia, who refuses to let anyone help her pull out her own loose tooth. Greg goes to look for some string so he can do the same trick to her, but he never gets a chance to do this because the Easter egg hunt starts just then.

Ambiguously Bi: Sometimes, Rowley's actions are a bit suspect, especially with Greg. You'd think that a 13-year-old boy would realize that sharing a "Best Friends" locket (in the shape of a heart) with another 13-year-old boy isn't something that looks like platonic friendship or realize that being a fan of a rather effeminate pop singer isn't exactly manly. It could be argued that he's just completely unaware of these things considering that he is a Cloudcuckoolander and is completely sheltered, however. Also supporting this is that he's the one who gets a girlfriend in The Third Wheel.

Cutting the Knot: When Greg has to stay home from school because of snow, Susan realizes that he'll want to watch TV, so she takes out the batteries out of the remote and hides them in ways that Greg would only find them if he did chores around the house. It would take four batteries for the TV in the living room, but Greg instead goes to the TV in Susan and Frank's bedroom because it requires only one battery.

Good Behavior Points
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_c253697
comment
Good Behavior Points: To prove his point that his mom’s plan to be nice at school to be popular does not work out today as did for when Mom was his age, Greg talks about how his school once implemented a system called "Hero Points" in an attempt to stop bullying. The idea was that if a student was seen being kind to someone else, they would earn a single Hero Point, and if a student got enough Hero Points, they could trade them in for prizes. The system quickly went horribly wrong, however, starting with people faking good deeds in front of teachers, followed by counterfeit Hero Points being produced and sold. The school tried making changes to the system to try to deter the illegitimate earning of Hero Points, but these attempts either failed or had negative consequences, such as how a student got detention for having too many Hero Points, despite having earned them all legitimately. After a janitor discovered a Hero Point-copying operation, the school decided to abandon the system. Regrettably, this meant that students wouldn't help others in need of help.

comment
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Several. Patty Farrell has not appeared in the books following The Last Straw and the movie adaption of Dog Days. Chirag, one of Greg's friends who was at times a plot central character, later disappeared following a brief scene in Cabin Fever. Trista, a girl from New Mexico was introduced and set up to be a major character at the end of The Last Straw. After a brief appearance in Dog Days, she's never heard from again. Justified since she ditched Rowley and Greg at the country club in the summer between the end of The Last Straw and the beginning of Dog Days. Double subverted with Aunt Cakey — she made an early appearance in the webcomic, disappeared from it and never appeared in any of the other media...and then had a minor role in 2013's Hard Luck. As of The Meltdown, she hasn't reappeared.

Yank the Dog's Chain: The school is forced to shut down due to repeated bad test scores and all the remaining students are transferred to two nearby schools. While many students get to go to a much better, more luxurious, and better funded school, Greg is forced to go to an even worse school, but is able to make the best of it because he's turned into a Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond, becoming popular, smart, and even gaining a girlfriend and the respect of her rich dad. Then, Larry Mack's son finds the bags of money his dad hid in the walls of the school, uses the funds to reopen the school, and everyone is forced to come back. Consequently, the kids who liked their new schools are mad at Greg,note  since his rapid popularity at his new school is a large part of what motivated Larry Mack Jr. to reopen the old school, Greg's girlfriend dumps him, and the cafeteria isn't even allowed to make fudgedogs anymore because Greg told his new school how to make them and they stole the credit and patented it. All of this happens in the last fifth of the book to boot.

Mirror Reveal: Rowley has two pimples on his face. Greg sees them and instantly thinks they're chicken pox, then shows him a mirror. Rowley assumes it's chicken pox too and screams.

Gross Gum Gag
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_c88256d
comment
Gross Gum Gag: In the original book, Ricky Fisher's establishing moment is Greg stating that he'll pick the old gum off of the bottom of desks and chew it if you give him fifty cents. Greg is not too thrilled to have this guy on his independent study group. In "The Ugly Truth", Rodrick spits out his chewed gum at a swarm of moths, but he misses and hits Frank in the face with it. Frank gets so frustrated that he chases Rodrick around the parking lot, only to trip and twist his ankle (though he lies that he tripped over a toy car).

comment
Unexpected Kindness: In "Hard Luck", the family has been bickering about who gets to keep Meemaw's ring once it's found. Greg fears that they're going to fight again when they have another gathering, but they're actually quite happy to see each other. A few family members are even shown going over to hug each other. In "Dog Days", Greg overhears Frank talking about giving someone away and wonders if he's talking about him. Later, he looks in Frank's schedule and finds that it has "Sell Greg" written in it (it's implied Rodrick wrote that). When Frank tells him to get in the car because he has a surprise for him, Greg panics and calls the cops on him. Then it's revealed that Frank was actually planning to take Greg to a baseball game and he even got front-row seats. However, Frank no longer has the energy to attend the game and gives their tickets to the cops. Also, Frank was going to give their dog Sweetie away.

Damned by Faint Praise: After Greg's team has lost every game, Coach Patel gives them a speech that while they might not end up being professional athletes, there are other (lame) jobs they can take up in the future. Greg notes that it's not particularly encouraging. He leaves with an award that congratulates him for "attempting to learn a sport".

My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels: Anyone with even just the most basic knowledge of Spanish can tell that Susan Heffley doesn't understand it nearly as well as she thinks she does—she thinks "Tengo hambre" means "Tango hamburgers" (it actually means "I'm hungry") and she thinks that "Te amo" means "What is your name?" (it actually means "I love you"). It embarrasses a younger Greg when he once tried asking a Spanish-speaking waiter what his name was by repeatedly saying, "Te amo."

Mr. Leyton, the Latin teacher, is also a nice enough guy but is a fraud who is teaching the kids gibberish, which eventually gets him fired.

Nightmare Fuel: In-universe. Greg watches an old B-Movie about a muddy hand who kills the person who sees it right after it kills someone else. The last shot of the movie implies that the hand will go after the viewer next, causing Greg throughout the rest of the book to try to prevent a muddy hand attack.

Black Comedy Pet Death: In "The Long Haul", the Heffleys try to lead some lost funeral people to the cemetery, only to find a pet cemetery instead. In "Dog Days", Greg gets a fish, only for it to get eaten by Rodrick's fish. Also, Frank tells Greg of how his childhood dog Nutty ran away to a butterfly farm, only for Greg's grandpa to admit that what really happened was that he accidentally ran over Nutty in their driveway. In "Hard Luck", Greg remembers keeping an inchworm named Squirm as a pet two years ago, only for him to be stepped on by a baby Manny.

Moving Angst: Discussed and inverted. When Greg is about to move (though it's later canceled), he reads Rowley a book called Preston Platypus Says Farewell to a Friend, which is about the titular Preston Platypus being distraught when his best friend Pelican Pete moves away. He overcomes this angst when he meets some new friends, which Greg notes isn't that happy of an ending since Preston Platypus forgets all about Pelican Pete.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: A combination of the band blowing up at Rodrick for his selfishness and the threat of a legal lawsuit looming over their heads drives Bill, Drew, and Mackie to hightail it out of the Heffleys' house in the ice-cream van, marking the (temporary) end of Löded Diper.

Red Herring: "The Beardos" would appear to be villains, stealing the Heffleys' beach chair, locker key and in turn wallets and cellphones. But, aside from the beach chair (which could have easily been a misunderstanding) and being slight jerkasses they aren't.

Adaptation Name Change: Some of the names got changed in the transition from the webcomic to the book. Ann Heffley became Susan Heffley, Uncle Freddie became Uncle Charlie, the Smedley family became the Snella family, Piper and Lori Matthews became Holly and Heather Hills, Darnell Washington (the first kid who touched the Cheese) became Darren Walsh, and Sweetie Pie the dog became Sweetheart (though his nickname is "Sweetie" in both versions).

Two Decades Behind: At one point in the book, the Heffleys accidentally lock their keys in the car. This isn't possible with electronic locking systems, which have been mainstream in American cars since the 1990s, and the car's curved body shape indicates that it was not made before then.

Contrived Coincidence: Lightning strikes the bridge leading in and out of Campers' Eden, destroying a section of it, trapping everyone inside and preventing the food truck from bringing supplies in. The gap that's destroyed is exactly as wide as the Heffleys' RV is long, and it gets perfectly wedged in the gap when it washes down the river in a flood.

comment
Chekhov's Gunman: Early on in The Last Straw, Greg talks about a teenage hellion named Lenwood Heath who was the bane of Frank Heffley's existence until his parents shipped him off to military school. Lenwood reappears later on as a ticket-taker at the movie theater, having done a complete 180 in terms of personality; it's this that convinces Frank to send Greg to military school, kicking off the major conflict of the book. At one point in The Third Wheel, Greg presents an incomplete relationship chart regarding the kids at his school. Not only are Abigail and her boyfriend Michael on it, but the girl Michael ended up cheating on Abigail with is marked down as having a crush on Michael.

Soup of Poverty: Invoked when Greg's class goes on a field trip to Hardscrabble Farms, a wilderness survival camp. The people running it don't believe in wasting food, so at the end of each meal, everyone's leftovers are dumped into a giant stew pot. Mr. Healey tells Greg that they did the same thing when he went to the camp 30 years ago as a kid, and they're still using the same pot. One girl eats three servings of the stew to make herself sick so she can get sent home early, which Greg finds a bit extreme.

Avoid the Dreaded G Rating: Discussed when Löded Diper argues over which songs to record at the studio. Rodrick insists on making sure their album has lyrics warranting a Parental Warning sticker on it, reasoning that teenagers won't buy it without one. Mackie disagrees, stating that he wants an album his mom can enjoy.

Write Who You Know: invoked In-Universe. When Greg was little, a kid named Bradley always bullied him. After Bradley moved away, Greg's mom wrote a book called "Bad Bradley" about a kid who was always misbehaving, though she made Bradley out to be way worse than he actually was. She never got to publish it because Bradley and his family moved back to their neighborhood.

Plot Allergy: Greg has told two lies about allergies: In the first book, he convinces bullies not to force him to eat an expired slice of cheese by lying that he's allergic to dairy. In "The Ugly Truth", he lies that Manny is allergic to peaches to try to convince the advertisers of peach ice cream to make him their mascot instead of Manny. Ironically, Manny was actually allergic to peaches in the webcomic.

The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: In-universe, the movie, Hello, You're Dead!, is about the muddy hand that goes around killing people. The last person who sees the hand is always the next victim. At the end of the movie, the hand crawls straight towards the screen, implying that Greg and Rowley are the next victims. This kept them nervous and paranoid for the rest of the book.

Gary and Frank are this to a T: Gary is a Manchild who can’t hold down a job or a marriage, but he’s also a Cool Uncle. Frank is more mature and has a steady job and a family, but he’s also stuffy and acts like he’s far older than he really is. As expected, Frank doesn’t really like Gary, although Gary is nicer to Frank.

World of Jerkass: The number of genuinely kind and altruistic characters could be counted on one hand, and they tend to be sent through the wringer through no fault of their own. Even the main character is a selfish, judgemental, lazy, and massively egotistical blowhard whose only heroic actions have self-serving motives behind them. Although it's implied that some of what's shown may be biased in Greg's favour to make himself look better.

Plane Awful Flight
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_e5e1e0c0
comment
Plane Awful Flight: It's Greg's first time going to the airport and taking an airplane. He can't find a seat in the waiting room due to people lying across the seats or placing their bags on them and his sock is launched into a urinal via a blow-dryer, forcing him to go without it... and that's just in the airport. On the plane, he is just about denied having a row of seats all to himself by a family with a baby, and he also gets anxious over something happening to the plane after he watches the safety demonstration video (and he also gets worried about the turbulence and the pilots being allowed to move about the cabin), the passenger behind him puts his bare feet up on Greg's armrests, the baby he's next to uses his screen to watch cartoons (and the brightly colored animation stops him from falling asleep) and he can't lean his seat back because he's sitting in the emergency exit row. Also, meals are only given to first class passengers. The Heffleys also have to alternate between who gets to sit in first class, but Greg never gets his turn due to the aisle getting blocked by the broken food cart after turbulence hits.

Flanderization
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_e5e6640b
comment
Flanderization: Rowley was simply gullible and slow on the uptake before becoming a kiddy kid. This Flanderization is countered by his Character Development, however; The Third Wheel even implies that he is maturing faster than Greg is. Susan Heffley, in many ways. At first she only showed concern if Greg did something she objected to, and was sometimes embarrassing and behind the times of what teenagers were into, such as trying to get Greg less interested in video gaming. Her stern attitude only showed if something severe had happened (such as Rowley's broken arm in the first book or the party that happened in Rodrick Rules). As of Hard Luck, however, Susan's character has essentially delved into a Think of the Children! type mother who shows extreme distaste to anything electronic to the point she gets the town as a whole to unplug (which she simply bribed her way through by getting elderly party-goers of Grandpa to sign the signatures she needed). Susan has gotten more selfish over time. While initially Susan only forced her family into embarrassing activities out of cluelessness to their feelings in the matter, by The Long Haul Susan forces the entire family into going on a surprise road trip, well aware of their complaints and not caring because she desires a perfect family. Greg has become more unsympathetic. In Cabin Fever, he and Rowley get in trouble and Rowley accidentally confesses with Greg's name. Greg is upset, but decides to accept his punishment without bringing Rowley into it. In Hard Luck, he's upset when people start abusing the school's system of rewarding people who are nice, and also fears that Meemaw's ring will break up the family and hides it where nobody will find it. In Double Down, he thinks about his deceased Nana and feels bad that he wasn't nice to her, saying that he hopes she's happy in Heaven and doesn't have to watch over "an ungrateful middle-schooler." But in Wrecking Ball, he tries to scam kids by selling them broken toys and celebrates his aunt's death! Greg also seems to have gotten dumber and more gullible over the years. Granted, he was never anything close to a straight-A student, but by Double Down he thinks that his parents using the phrase "recharge our batteries" might mean they’re robots. This seems more like something he’d make fun of Rowley for thinking in the earlier books. Manny has had all his character traits exaggerated up to eleven. He started off as a Jerkass Spoiled Brat who played up how cuteness to get away with being a jerk to a borderline sociopath who leaves his family to die in a blizzard For the Evulz and blames it on not knowing how to tie his shoes. His mild Cloudcuckoolander traits were initially things you would expect a child to do, but nowadays he comes off as totally insane and does things like hijack the family car and try to crawl down a toilet. His intelligence went from Susan claiming he’s smart for his age to justify his oddness to him building a house out of spare construction materials just for giggles.

comment
Too Unhappy to Be Hungry: In one of the movies, Greg feels guilty about not owning up when Rowley gets punished for something he (Greg) did because Greg was wearing Rowley's coat. His mother Susan observes that he hasn't "badgered [her] for any snacks" and asks if he's OK. In "Dog Days", Greg's fish dies, leaving him "bummed out", so he picks at his food over brunch.

No Full Name Given: The books generally avert this trope but this is unexpectedly played straight with the kid named Frankie who saw Silas Scratch. This is to hide the fact that Frankie's full name is Frank Heffley, who is also the one who created the rumor of Silas Scratch in the first place when he went to the camp in his youth.

Outclassed at the Gym: Greg goes to the gym with his father to get fit. When he can't figure out the normal exercise machines, he goes to the bodybuilding area and notices all the tough weightlifters. Believing this will speed up the process, Greg tries haplessly to lift some heavy weights. When trying to remove weights to make it easier, he takes everything off one side, resulting in a loud clang that disrupts everyone and gets him and his father kicked out of the gym.

Jerkass
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_eb8ec7c8
comment
Extremely cynical for a children's book series (however, this might just be Greg's view on the world, as he's displayed some sociopathic styled tendencies, and thus this leaks into his journals). The main character, Greg, is a lazy, selfish, self-absorbed Jerkass with almost no redeeming qualities. Almost all the other child characters are Jerkasses & bullies as well. All authority figures are incompetent, and the school itself is a Sucky School. The only truly nice character in the main cast, Rowley, is coddled by his parents and abused by Greg (who doesn't seem to like him despite calling him his best friend). Greg's family is quite dysfunctional, and his father and older brother seem to actively hate him. Almost everyone not named Greg who does something bad is a Karma Houdini.

Deconstructed Character Archetype
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_ec9a5f50
comment
Deconstructed Character Archetype: Sebastian Sleeves is a deconstruction of the Reclusive Artist rock star living luxurious isolation and just waiting to serve as a potential source of wisdom and advice to younger musicians. He spent so much money on his Big Fancy House that, after the end of his music career, he had to sell all of his other luxury items to maintain the house. That money ran out too after a while, so his water and electricity got shut off years, if not decades, ago. His advice to Rodrick and the others boils down to getting out of the music business before they end up like him. He does make a comeback at the end of the book, though.

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Zig-Zagged. Greg's mom doesn't appear to have a job, but he mentions that she runs an article in the newspaper, and it's implied she might have been a therapist (but one for younger kids if anything) but is implied to go to school. Otherwise... she's not really doing anything. Greg's dad escapes this because The Third Wheel shows a flashback of him bringing Greg to his office for Bring Your Kid to Work Day, boring Greg because he just works on his computer (although what he's doing on it is unknown). This is a justified example. The story's told from Greg's point of view. What would he know about what his parents do on a day-by-day basis?

He looks quite ill and nauseous, so Greg and Rodrick try to take him to a vet before Susan finds out, but this backfires when the pig throws up in front of her.

No Infantile Amnesia: Greg claims this applies to him at the beginning of the book. He goes on to explain that he was born three weeks early because he couldn't take all the noise he heard from the outside world (especially because Mom was using prenatal speakers to talk to and play classical music for him) and that as a result he has been trying to catch up on all the sleep he missed out on ever since. His love of long baths also stems from memories of peacefully floating in the womb.

Cue Susan making Frank pull over and forcing an apology to Mrs. Tuttle out of Rodrick.

 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_f36c4f98
comment
Easily Forgiven: Greg changes his mind about attending the Hardscrabble Farms camp after being involved in accidentally messing up Frank's car bumper, reasoning that him being absent will give Frank time to cool down at least a little. However, at camp, his cabin loses its chaperone, and him and the rest of his roommates end up earning the ire of Mrs. Graziano, who insists on calling an emergency replacement chaperone... who turns out to be Frank. Despite the aformentioned bumper accident, the fact that Frank was already hacked off at Greg for an earlier incident and the fact that Greg caused Frank to have to drive all the way over to camp in the middle of the night due to his group misbehaving, Frank never acts coldly to Greg once, or it at least isn't described, which means Greg didn't think it was bad enough to write about it in his diary. He civilly explains how a spooky rumor came to be after Greg encounters him using an maintenance shed connected to said rumor, sneaks Greg and his roommates back into their cabin so they can sleep properly instead of in a shelter outside, and offers him a ride home with him as opposed to taking the bus at the end, with not one mention of the trouble he caused.

Fake Interactivity
 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_f96efb51
comment
Fake Interactivity: Discussed. Greg recalls watching TV shows that pretended to be interactive. Due to a coincidence in which a character seemed to answer Greg, he believed that the characters actually listened to what he told them, so his mother had to tell him that they couldn't.

Series Fauxnale: This book wraps up all the content from the webcomic, but since the series became more popular in book form, Greg’s misadventures continue to this day.

 Diary of a Wimpy Kid / int_fbc1a522
comment
Woken Up at an Ungodly Hour: In the first book, Rodrick wakes Greg up to tell him that he slept through the summer. Greg makes a beeline downstairs to get breakfast and he eats so loudly that it wakes up Frank, who yells at him for waking him up at 4 AM. Later, Greg plays very loud music late at night. He realizes too late that he forgot to plug the headphones into the speakers, which awakens a pissed-off Frank. Frank, in a state of Tranquil Fury, proclaims that he wants to tell him something before referring to him as "friend". Greg notes that he only calls him that when he's especially furious.

comment
Comically Missing the Point: Greg's mother tells him that he'll end up being a garbage collector if he doesn't think of a job to get earlier. Greg thinks being a garbage collector would be pretty cool. When told that geese are scared of dogs, Rowley uses a toy that plays out the word "Dog" repeatedly.

Show-and-Tell Antics: Manny comes across a heavy metal magazine that his big brother Rodrick owns and takes it to his school for show-and-tell, much to his teacher's horror, as the cover has a photo of a bikini-clad woman lying across the hood of a car. Rodrick gets in trouble with his mom for this, as she is a Moral Guardian who doesn't approve of such things.
