Tired of the responsibilities of the throne, Candy goes on vacation and leaves Dave as the acting king. While Dave initially does a decent job, his fastidiousness soon turns the kingdom against him as Chuckles plans an invasion.

!!This episode contains examples of:
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Dave eventually bungles his reign as king so bad that the kingdom begins celebrating when Chuckles takes over and bans musical theater.
* AffablyEvil: Chuckles sent a polite note informing Candy he would be invading soon... and also attached a fruitcake.
* AmbiguousGender: The throne thinks so of Chuckles, declaring that "his or her" rule is law.
* BreadAndCircuses: With his laws becoming increasingly unpopular, Dave forces the entire kingdom to attend his musical ''Oh, Pastry'' to distract them.
* TheCaligula: Discussed and subverted. Dave isn't an evil tyrant like the trope usually entails, and wants to be a good, benevolent ruler. But he doesn't take it well when his laws become unpopular and at one point threatens to go on a violent tour of revenge.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Dave is more concerned about Chuckles sending them a fruitcake than he is about the fact Chuckles is openly declaring his intent to invade.
* CompanyCrossReferences: Candy and her friends visit a pub occupied by a gang of pirates who are a send-up to ''Ride/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''.
* CrazyPrepared: Discussed when a guard point out that if they attend the musical, nobody will be defending the kingdom from invaders. The other guard notices that Dave ordered any invaders to attend the musical, and they agree that he thinks of everything.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: PlayedForLaughs. Chuckles's second law bans the production of pickled pig's feet, and when Dave calls him out for such a silly law, Chuckles counters that it beats his law of shaving cats.
* NoIndoorVoice:
-->'''Guard''': You know, you don't have to yell everything you say.\\
'''Town crier''': (''still yelling'') Yell like ''what?''
* SeriousBusiness: Chuckles threatening the throne with an ugly new upholstery is enough to get it to comply and declare him king.
* TorchesAndPitchforks: Candy returns with the people of Udrogoth in a big mob to depose Chuckles.
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Chuckles takes advantage of the kingdom attending ''Oh, Pastry!'' and sneaks into the throne to seize control. That said, Dave was becoming so hated that the citizens initially don't mind the take-over.
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe:
-->'''Throne:''' State your name!\\
'''Chuckles:''' The Dark Lord Chuckles the Silly Piggy!\\
'''Throne:''' Are you ''kidding'' me with that?
