** Super Dave, played by a Jewish actor, doesn't usually come across as ethnic (Osborne being a solidly Anglo-Saxon name helps), but after he gets injured he always refers to Mike as a ''putz'' (the Yiddish equivalent to "dick"), and his groaning about his injuries has some JewishComplaining vibes.

** Oddly, this might be the case for Fuji as well. In the first ChristmasEpisode, he says he's wearing blue and white in celebration of Hanukkah.

* DrivesLikeCrazy: The very first scene in the debut episode had Mike Walden astonished to see Super Dave showing up to the studio in a car doing amazing stunts like driving on its sides, wild spins and crashing through a billboard, before Super Dave fell out on the pavement, only slightly injured (by his standards). Then came TheReveal that [[spoiler:Dave had hitched a ride to the studio, and it was that episode's SpecialGuest Music/RayCharles at the wheel]].

Added DiffLines:

* LeftItIn: Especially in the scenes where there was a demonstration rather than a stunt, Mike would wrap up the segment, but the show would stick with him, Super Dave and Fuji or Donald, then Super Dave would ask "Are we still on?", Mike would assure him they weren't, then Super Dave would either break {{Kayfabe}} and do something counter to his public persona, or get injured via a surprise mishap (and sometimes both).

* AskAStupidQuestion: Mike's inevitable "Super Dave! Super Dave! Are you all right?" as he rushes over to check on a horrifically injured Super Dave is inevitably answered with a sarcastic quip along the lines of "Sure, putz. I've never felt better in my life!"

* AdamWesting: Robbie Knievel takes advantage of Super Dave's injury in the Atomic Yo-Yo stunt to try to poach Mike Walden as an announcer for ''his'' next stunt.

* AdamWesting: AdamWesting:
** Mike Walden portrays a fictionalized version of himself as a smooth, but extremely dense and self-centered, media personality who can't ever be bothered to actually help Super Dave when he's in pain.
** In his guest appearance,
Robbie Knievel mostly seems humble, but he takes advantage of Super Dave's injury in the Atomic Yo-Yo stunt to try to poach Mike Walden as an announcer for ''his'' next stunt.
