The TDPI pamphlet even hinted at the fact that Dave wasn't as sane or as normal as he himself believed and the audience was led to believe. Their description of him:

The nice and normal guy He’s a nice, normal and straight forward guy without even a whisper of crazy.

Dave is an immesely flawed person. That's not really a bad thing because it makes him interesting. In fact, I'd say he was one of the best characters to come out of TDPI. Most of TDPI's cast were too cartoony and the show started to feel increasingly detached from reality. Dave's phobias and descent into madness felt oddly realistic in a season full of gimmicky characters and a ridiculous setting.
