Trivia[]
- Some of the Heffley brothers appear to have a specific family member that favors them: the grandmother likes Manny the most, and the grandfather likes Greg the most. This makes Rodrick the only Heffley brother to not have a family member favoring him, but he dosen't really care.
- The Heffley Family is loosely based off Jeff Kinney's family.
