2[[caption-width-right:350:He's definitely doing a better smolder than [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Eugene]].]]
3* The gleeful, ruthless parodying of the entire genre of Hollywood summer action flicks that the first ten minutes consists of--down to the in-universe show using ''overdone orange/teal color grading.''
4* Bolt trying to melt a lock with his EyeBeams... in the real world.
5-->'''Bolt:''' If I stare at this lock really hard, it'll burst into flames and melt.\
6'''Mittens:''' ''[[[ThousandYardStare staring]] at Bolt in utter disbelief]'' Now I'm [[OhCrap concerned]] on a number of levels.
7** And later on when they're in the animal control truck (but in different compartments) and Bolt is still convinced he can use his powers to escape.
8-->'''Mittens:''' You can't, Bolt! You got nothin'! No super strength! No super bark! ''[realizes Bolt's not responding]'' And no heat vision. ''[cut to Bolt staring at the door so hard you think something in him is going to burst]''
9* Pigeons.
10** The New York pigeons are trying to figure out where they've seen Bolt before. Not one, but ''two'' buses go by with his picture on it -- and they ''still'' haven't figured it out. Later in the scene, they continue trying to figure out where they've seen Bolt before -- while standing on top of a ''multi-story billboard advertising the show that has his picture on it!''
11** The Los Angeles pigeons who spot Bolt and decide to pitch a High Concept story idea for the show. Just one word. "Aliens". And it somehow makes it into the show proper after Penny quits!
12* The scene where Mittens tries to threaten Bolt with a Styrofoam packing peanut, because Bolt has become convinced that Styrofoam [[KryptoniteFactor robs him of his powers]].
13* When Bolt hits the perfect "Cute Doggy Face" under Mitten's tutelage.
14* The "begging for food" sequence.
15-->'''Bolt:''' ''[begs]''\
16'''Trailer Folks:''' Aw...\
17'''Bolt:''' ''[begs]''\
18'''Trailer Folks:''' Aw...\
19'''Bolt:''' ''[begs]''\
20'''Trailer Folks:''' Aw...\
21'''Mittens:''' ''[begs]''\
22'''Trailer Man:''' Beat it, stupid cat!
23** Said person also launches a frying pan at Mittens.
24* Not to mention ''every line Rhino says''.
25* Mittens' reaction after Rhino's initial introduction, and suggestion that he and Bolt could be twins.
26-->'''Mittens:''' Yeah... ''scary''.
27* "Just the knowledge that every minute spent in your presence becomes the new greatest minute of my life."
28* What the Agent said to Penny after he gave her a dog that wasn't Bolt as an attempt at replacing him.
29-->'''Agent:''' Y'know, when I was little, I wanted a bicycle for my birthday, but my parents gave me a baseball glove. So, y'know what I did? I PRETENDED that baseball glove WAS a bicycle. And I rode it to school everyday. True story.
30* Bolt, trying to escape from the animal control van, and finding the compartment resistant to his head: "Must be made of [[WeaksauceWeakness Styrofoam]]!"
31* This bit from the scene where Bolt and Rhino rescue Mittens from the animal shelter. Just the casual air with which Rhino says his line:
32-->'''Bolt:''' There's a guard.\
33'''Rhino:''' I'll snap his neck.
34* The female guard Esther starts hearing strange noises:
35-->'''Esther:''' Lloyd Spoon, you jump out and scare me, and I'm gonna pepper spray you again!
36* Rhino's distraction to the dogs at the pound...
37-->[[ShoutOut "Ball?" "Ball!"]] [[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo "BALL! BALL! BALL! BALL! BALL! BALL! BALL! BALL!"]]
38* And from shortly after that, when Bolt performs the actual rescue:
39-->'''Mittens:''' Bolt? What are you doing here?\
40'''Bolt:''' I'm busting you out!\
41'''Mittens:''' You... you came all the way back here, for me?\
42'''Bolt:''' Yeah.\
43'''Mittens:''' But how'd you... I mean... you don't have any super powers!\
44'''Bolt:''' I know.\
45'''Mittens:''' ''[surprised]'' Really?\
46'''Bolt:''' Yeah.\
47'''Mittens:''' Wow. Crazy day for you, huh?\
48'''Bolt:''' It's been a lot, yes, it has.
49* And then when the guard comes in to check on them, he sees one of the dogs nomming on Rhino's ball.
50-->'''Rhino:''' Initiating escape!
51* How could you miss the aftermath of the breakout?
52** Rhino's ball is sent flying and hits big heavy guard Lloyd in the head, knocking him out. Then the impact sends a helium tank rocketing out and it hits the Animal Shelter sign, causing it to tilt and fall onto a propane truck, resulting in a massive fiery explosion as Bolt and his friends flee.
53-->'''Esther:''' Sweet Sister Frances! ''What did you do to my new truck?!''\
54'''Marty:''' ''[runs right in]'' HOLD ON RIGHT THERE!\
55''[startled, Esther pepper sprays Marty, who falls to the floor and right on unconscious Lloyd]''\
56'''Marty:''' AAAAAH! GOLLY, ESTHER! ''[screams in pain]''\
57'''Esther:''' Both you boys need serious help!\
58'''Marty:''' SPICY EYES!
59* When Mittens is teaching Bolt how to behave like a normal dog:
60-->'''Mittens:''' They do things like--\
61''[cut to the two of them standing before a toilet]''\
62'''Bolt:''' Out of this?! But... But...
63* When Rhino and Mittens have just arrived at the studio, Rhino sees one of Dr. Calico's "henchmen", and runs towards him screaming various death threats. The guy however, only hears a bunch of squeaks, and thinks that Rhino's cute.
64-->'''Rhino:''' ''I WILL BEAT YOUR PANCREAS WITH YOUR SPLEEN AND THEN I WILL RIP YOUR LIVER OUT OUR YOUR--''\
65''[cut to outside of ball, only able to hear Rhino's high-pitched squeaks]''\
66'''Henchman:''' Aww, aren't you the cutest, with your little whiskers....
67* At the very end, we get the revelation that the show has completely [[JumpingTheShark jumped the shark]] by adding [[BrickJoke aliens]] out of the blue.
68-->'''Rhino:''' ''(deadpan)'' That is totally unrealistic.\
69'''Bolt:''' Absolutely ridonkulous.\
70'''Mittens:''' You can say that again.
71** That's not even bringing up how completely unconvincing the actor they got to replace Penny is. Not only are her face and voice different (the former of which they HandWave by saying she was injured and got facial reconstruction surgery) but she's just a terrible actor in general.
