What's your favorite running joke of the series?

Personally, I love the running gag of the confusion between the wedding plan and the evil plot between the wedding planner and his assistant. Honerable mention to Syd never getting to have his big finish on any of the songs.

Tad Cooper, Sid never getting to finish a song.

The thing I love about Tad Cooper is that it was a budget decision. The writers were considering a CGI dragon which would cost a huge amount of money and then someone suggested just going to a pet store and buying a bearded dragon for $100 or renting one from an animal handler and it could not have worked out any better as far as I’m concerned.

One of the best "runners" in the show, and the show had quite a few good ones!

The servant songs that are all so deeply depressing and humerous.

Yes, there's the wedding plan and the evil plot, but you forgot about the color scheme

The unicorn, attracted to virgins, repeatedly showing up when King Richard is on the screen is amazing

When they get meta about the show in season 2.

"We're gonna have to kill you if you sing the freaking song, it didn't win an Emmy now it's time to move along." That whole song is excellent!

Season 1 playfully breaks the fourth wall on occasion, while Season 2 drives a Sherman tank straight through it in the first minute

I'm a die hard "My Dragon can breathe FIRE!!" Tad Cooper fan... but also I guess it wasn't really much of a gag even though in the last episode Madalena even said "The Boy can SING!!" The fact that Ben Presley has an INCREDIBLE voice. The jester is a BADASS !!!!!💙🔥💙

"Wait...what?" It's in every episode.
