* WeWantOurJerkBack: An inversion--to go into greater detail --
** At the beginning of the episode, everyone (including Dave himself) is tired of Dave's cowardly behavior, so to make him braver, the gang finds the Red Sweater of Courage. After putting it on, Dave becomes much braver and more fearless.
** At first, everyone like the new and braver Dave, but (as noted by the InteractiveNarrator) Dave soon makes the jump from "incredibly brave" to "just plain stupid" (as noted above, Dave pisses off the three most powerful villains in the series, who team together to get back at him).
** In the end, after finally defeating Chuckles, Malsquando and Quosmir (by tricking them into turning against each other), the others acknowledge that they're ultimately better off with Dave as a wimp than a "brave guy," since Dave's a lot smarter as a wimp.
* WhatTheHellHero: At the beginning of the episode, Chuckles is attacking Udrogoth with a "Chuckle-Bot" (a giant robot version of himself), and at one point during his rampage, Dave tries hiding behind a puppy in the hopes that the Dark Lord wouldn't bring himself to attack him--while Candy and Fang manage to defeat Chuckles, they call out their brother not only for not even trying to fight back against Chuckles, but how hiding behind a puppy, of all things, was "wimpy even for [Dave himself]."

Dave.
** After Dave's returned to his original wimpy self, Dave realizes that the only way they could defeat all three villains is by turning them against each other--Dave makes a series of papier-mâché masks so the gang can disguise themselves and trick the villains into thinking that the others said mean things about them and focus on fighting on each other (which ultimately succeeds).
** In the end, after finally defeating Chuckles, Malsquando and Quosmir (by tricking them into turning against each other), the others acknowledge that they're three villains, the rest of the gang acknowledges that, for as annoying/frustrating as Dave's wimpiness can be, everyone's ultimately better off with Dave as a wimp than a "brave guy," especially since Dave's a lot smarter as a wimp.
