** Dave can easily be one to [[SpongebobSquarepants Patrick Star]] as both are complete idiots, yet both can (depending on the episode) drop down to the level of severely mentally challenged, or to having genius moments. They're both overweight and have no jobs (That we know of) and both are considered AmbiguouslyGay.

* TheEndingChangesEverything: The ending of "Stack to School" is one big {{Homage}} to ''Main/TheUsualSupects''. After failing multiple times to show that he can be spontaneous, Scaredy passes his spontaneity class by racing to and performing a daring rescue at the Stash n' Hoard. It's only after Scaredy receives his diploma and leaves that his teacher realizes that Scaredy had orchestrated the entire thing (and therefore wasn't spontaneous at all).
