Plot

Dave's 16th birthday has approached and he has to perform a rite of pillage, as all barbarians who turn 16 do. If he fails he will disgrace his family forever.

First task - His battle cry, he cheats by lipsincing to Fang's battle cry, he is caught and is failed.

Second task - To pillage and plunder a village and ruin the houses, he fails when he ruins them by giving them a purposely bad renovation. Because giving a house a makeover is not barbariany.

Third task - To raid someone's house, he doesn't do it because he chooses a house and a small, poor boy enters and explains how poor his family is.

Fourth task - To write a notice to someone saying he's going to pillage and plunder his house, the test is on penmenship and even though penmenship is not barbariany it counts as 75% of Dave's final grade...because the whole rite of pillage is sponsored by some pen company.

Trivia

This episode marks the only time in the show's run Dave did something dishonest (cheat) and not feel bad about it later on.
