* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Candy is a stereotypical spoiled valley girl. Though she has been put in charage of an entire kingdom, she is far more interested in shopping and being popular than in actually keeping the country in order.

The series takes place in TheMiddleAges and centers on a [[GentleGiant powerful yet cowardly]] barbarian named Dave who lives in the [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield fictitious land of Udrogoth]] along with his self-absorbed older sister Candy and feral younger sister Fang. His parents, Throktar and Glimia, are the King and Queen, but are away "fighting evil" across the world (though they sometimes communicate via a magic crystal ball), and have left Candy in charge of the kingdom. Together the three siblings, along with their wizard uncle Oswidge, their pet Faffy and Dave's talking sword Lula, are left to run and protect the kingdom.

* DarkSecret: In one episode, when Dave was snooping around to see who stole his cookbook, he sees Oswidge reading a romance novel, Candy shaving off a bunch of facial hair, Fang secretly playing with dolls, and Faffy playing Go Fish with some other dragons, talking about how the 'Big Chump' hasn't discovered he can talk yet.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: While it's an obvious stand-in for a modern-day shopping mall, the Great Indoor Marketplace is actually one of the ''least'' anachronistic things about Udragoth - there were a great many medieval cities that contained designated buildings for marketplaces, and some are still in use today.
