* '''Enforced''': King Sable, as a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, limits the opportunities for drama, so the writers want to replace him with a TyrantTakesTheHelm storyline. Unfortunately, it's an extremely low-budget LiveActionTV series, and they can't even afford to cast a new actor for the role. Or King Sable's actor's contract stipulates that they can't so much as give him paid leave. They have to think of some way to have the same actor play a more villainous role.

* '''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.
