* '''Played For Laughs:''': Fake Sable is a complete bumbling idiot who has to ask Princess Velvet, Queen Satine, and Albert their names every so often, and stalls for time when he can't remember in the middle of a conversation. He also consults Voice Impersonation For Dummies when talking. The guards, having [[SpottingTheThread spotted the thread]], [[AmusingInjuries beat the real King Sable's location out of him]], rip off his [[LatexPerfection mask]], and stick Fake Sable in the Stocks for Royal Impersonation.
* '''Played For Drama:''' King Sable and Queen Satine, once fair and kind rulers, have gradually grown colder and crueler and taken measures they never would have seriously considered before, such as jailing all who disagree with their decisions and proposing an alliance with Emperor Evulz, even going so far as to offer [[ArrangedMarriage their daughter's hand]] to him! Velvet suspects the worst, but due to her position is unable to investigate as much as she'd prefer, so she recruits Albert and his band to ferret out the truth -- hopefully before it's too late.

* '''Deconstructed''': Even after the fake king is defeated, the damage done to the ''real'' King Sable's reputation and the kingdom remains. Political opponents decry the oh-so-convienent "It wasn't me! Just a monster that LOOKED like me!" defense, especially if the monster was slain inside the castle and away from the public eye.
* '''Reconstructed''':
** Damaging his reputation and weakening the kingdom was the entire ''point''; despite the difficulty, King Sable works tirelessly to restore his land to its former glory, reaffirming his love for his people and his family in the process. Ultimately, by the end of the series, the kingdom has grown stronger for its ordeal.
** Aware that the "It was a fake!" defense won't work without proof, the GenreSavvy Velvet ensures that the heroes confront, expose and defeat the fake king out in the open so that the public can see the monster themselves.
