** To be fair, if you were woken up in the middle of the night and asked to do something, and the person tried to leave before you could finish doing it (like make them [[Memes/{{Rugrats}} chocolate pudding]]), [[JustifiedTrope Wouldn't you be a little angry too?]]

** RevengeBeforeReason{{Revenge}}: Each episode sees Dan attempt to get revenge on someone or something that has wronged him (or he perceives to have robbed him).
* RevengeBeforeReason: Many of Dan's revenge bouts are either misguided or not worth the effort. He gets called out for this in "Mall Santa", where, after taking a job specifically to buy a Christmas present for Mr. Mumbles, he prioritizes petty revenge against the Mall Santa over the gift he's working to buy in the first place.

* SubvertedSuspicionAesop: Nearly every episode follows this format. If Chris tries to tell Dan that he's overreacting, and whoever provoked Dan's ire doesn't really deserve retribution, nine times out of ten Dan will be proven right. Whoever Dan's angry at really is cartoonishly evil, part of some conspiracy, or just enough of a jerk to deserve whatever Dan does to them.
Added DiffLines:
* SuspicionAesop: "The Neighbors" is the rare episode that plays this one completely straight. Dan can't believe that his new neighbors are as normal and nice as they seem, and concludes that they must be cannibals. But just this once, Dan's suspicions are completely unfounded, and the neighbors really are as nice as they seem. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome And they're so appalled by Dan's behavior that they leave for good at the end of the episode.]]
