Added DiffLines:

** No one is supportive of Dave's desire to give up being a barbarian and become a bistro chef due to his painful toenail - Fang disapproves because it means giving up barbarianing...ing, Candy because it means Dave will embarass her even more than he already does, and Oswidge because it means Dave will be too busy to [[ItsAllAboutMe make his favorite lunch]].


Added DiffLines:

* In "Happy Glasses", whenever someone wears the titular glasses, they percieve everything around them as their ideal world, including how everyone else talks and acts:
** Dave sees everyone acting refined, cultured and sensitive, with Candy begging him to redecorate her room because she has no taste to do it herself, and Oswidge asks him to sing his lovely Spring Day carols. Oh, and in this world, Dave has a super deep singing voice.
** Oswidge is tall, muscular, has a full head of long hair, and a powerful wizard feared by the forces of evil.
** In Fang's world, everyone is ridiculously muscular, violent, brutish and barbaric, even herself and ''Faffy!''
** Candy sees her family as cool, suave hipsters who no longer embarasses her, and she's serenaded by [[Music/BackstreetBoys The Backstreet Ministrels]].

* In "Bad Food", Dave quits being a barbarian due to an ingrown toenail and decides become a chef, so the family gets rid of his cookbook by having Oswidge send it millions of years back into the past. When Candy questions that will it change the past and alter the present, Oswidge [[TemptingFate ridicules the notion that history will change from dinosaurs learning how to cook]]. He then gets pizza delivered to him... by a ''T. rex''.

** Candy ends up being the only one who can tell Dave apart from Mecha-Dave, because the latter [[FailedASpotCheck has a big wind-up key on his back that somehow nobody noticed]].

to:

* In "Mecha-Dave", Dave, Fang and Oswidge have to travel to the Cliffs of Fabulous Shopping to find a special gear Dave needs for a clockwork model. While wandering the wilderness, they encounter a hermit and asks him for directions. He tells them they have to undergo a long and dangerous journey from which no one has ever returned... or they "can just take the shuttle". Cut to a perfectly safe horse and wagon a few feet away.
--> '''Dave''': Uh, thanks... *the gang piles onto the wagon, watching the old man laugh to himself like a crazy person*
** While travelling to the Cliffs, the shuttle makes stops in the towns on the way, only for the townspeople to brutally attack Dave, claiming that he attacked the town the previous night. While Oswidge's crystal ball reveals this to be true, Dave is horrified and has no memory of doing anything like that.
--> '''Fang''': Maybe he's got a ghost inside of him? Let's beat him until it comes out!
--> '''Oswidge''': On the other hand, Dave might simply be deranged! In which case I suggest we imprison him in a dungeon for countless days until he snaps out of it!
--> '''Dave''': I'm not liking my options here...
** Dave getting beaten to a pulp at every stop the shuttle makes.
** Dave getting replaced by Mecha-Dave, a clockwork doppleganger created by Chuckles, who's the one actually doing all the stuff Dave was getting blamed for. While it looks exactly like the real Dave, he's much braver and more confident. Fang is the only one who notices anything different about him, but decides she prefers it.

Removal of What An Idiot potholes


** Dave's first edict for the kingdom is the institution of casual fridays, which turns out to be very popular. Unfortunately, his next few laws are less well recieved. First, every other Saturday is Udrogoth Spirit Day, when everyone has to wear the official national colors; red, a slightly darker red, and a third red that's more of a maroon. Second, due to his cat allergies, Dave decrees that all cats must be shaved. When this understandably causes discontent, Dave gets angry over his subjects "ungratefullness" and tries to win them back with a mandatory performance of his musical ''Oh, Pastry!'', the story of one man's love of baked goods. Also, when he said mandatory, he also meant the castle guards, meaning that [[WhatAnIdiot Chuckles is able to just walk into the throne room and take over]], since the magic throne empowers anyone who sits on it.

** Before this, Ned had one goal in life - being awarded the Employee Of the Month Award of the trouser factory he worked at. It's hard to say what's more pathetic; that his one goal in life was that small, or that he still couldn't reach it.


Added DiffLines:

** Ned manages to conquer Udrogoth by introducing them to the futuristic marvels of...''handheld video games!'' Everyone quickly gets addicted to them, allowing Ned to force them into obedience since he's the only source of replacement batteries. It gets to the point that the only people left to defeat him are Lula, Faffy and Twinkles, since they're the only characters with no thumbs (or hands) to play the games with.


Added DiffLines:

* In "King For A Day Or Two", Chuckles sent a note ahead telling the main characters he's going to invade Udrogoth in the next few days. He also sent a fruitcake.
--> '''Dave''': He sent a fruitcake!? ''The fiend!!''

* During a competition, Irmaplotz messes with Dave's head with the tactic of... Whispering something to a friend while they both look at Dave, proceeded by giggling. Dave being a wimpy seventeen-year-old, it ''works'', and he's instantly reduced to, as the narrator puts it, an "insecure pile of teenage hormones".

* In "Beef", Candy goes to a gym to buff up, only to find that just about everything in there is essentially a deathtrap: a weight-lifting bench where the rock is big enough to crush her, a wild boar trying to tear her legs off during leg extensions, and a cage where you have to survive being killed by abominable snowmen. Wisely, she decides not to bother and hits up Oswidge instead.
--> '''Fang''': Candy's decided to go for the magic muscles. Some nonsense about not wanting to die.
