14	''Bee and Puppycat'' is a cartoon series on [[Creator/FrederatorStudios Frederator]]'s Cartoon Hangover, and later Creator/{{Netflix}}, created by ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' artist [[http://natazilla.tumblr.com Natasha Allegri]].
15
16	After being fired from another job, our heroine Bee finds herself taking another long walk home. This time, her walk is different. From the heavens descends a cat -- [[CartoonCreature or maybe a dog?]] -- which she adopts into her home. After unsuccessfully looking for more temp work, Bee comes home with presents for the mysterious creature, only to find she has no more food money.
17
18	With that, she and her houseguest have whisked away to the latter's temp job. The now-teamed-up Bee and Puppycat take the available work, which involves saving various citizens of the universe. Can Bee stay focused enough to be effective in combat? Will Puppycat find his true self? Will the ladybug ever be loved? Only time will tell.
19
20	The pilot episode was released on Cartoon Hangover as Episode 4 of "Cartoon Hangover Shorts", but later became popular enough to warrant a whole series. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoKGhce5-08 first]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UetSeZtrY2s second]] parts were released separately on Cartoon Hangover's Website/YouTube channel, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOG_UtLxh58 both were combined]] to create a more flowing narrative in honor of [=YouTube=]'s Geek Week 2013.
21
22	Due to the overwhelming response and support for the short, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqXAj02ydgo Cartoon Hangover announced a Kickstarter campaign to fund a full-length series]]. The [[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/frederator/bee-and-puppycat-the-series campaign]] started on October 15, 2013 and reached its goal of $600,000 with six days to spare; by the time it officially concluded on November 14 of that year, it had raised $872,133 from 18,209 supporters, granting the production of nine episodes. It even broke the record for the most funded web series project on Kickstarter.
23
24	Season 1 started on November 6, 2014. The second season was made available in 2016 and consists of the last four shorts condensed into one mega-episode. The series in its entirety can be found on Cartoon Hangover's Creator/{{VRV}} channel, while only Season 1 can be found on the [=YouTube=] channel. The remaining episodes were uploaded regularly from October 5 to November 9, 2018.
25
26	On June 11, 2018, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiHtqxiwoao&t=0s a teaser]] for a sequel to the series, titled ''Bee and Puppycat: Lazy in Space'', was uploaded on Cartoon Hangover's [=YouTube=] channel. It expands upon the world of its lead characters, with animation duties switching over from Creator/DongWooAnimation to Creator/OLMIncorporated. The show also expands its running time to half-hour episodes instead of the shorter runtimes of the original series, which averaged 5-10 minutes.
27
28	''Bee and Puppycat: Lazy in Space'' premiered on Creator/{{Netflix}} on September 6, 2022, consisting of 16 episodes, which also includes a three-episode remake of the original series in that number.
29
30	An 11-issue comic adaptation was published by Creator/KaboomComics between 2014 and 2016. [[http://beeandpuppycat.com/ The series now also has a website]].
31	----
32	!!This series features examples of:
33	* AccidentalKiss: [[spoiler:Bee and Puppycat]], interchange of gum and all.
34	* ActorAllusion:
35	** In "Birthday", [=TempBot=] comments she has a "videogame job" and that [[{{VideoGame.Portal}} maybe there will be cake]]. In that episode, she is voiced by Creator/EllenMcLain, [=GLaDOS=]'s voice actress.
36	** "Farmers" has [=TempBot=] claim she smells homecooked food. Hannah Hart, her voice actress at the time, runs [[WebVideo/MyDrunkKitchen a home cooking YouTube channel.]]
37	** In "Cats", [=TempBot=] affectionately calls Bee and Puppycat "little flapjacks". Her voice actress in that episode, Roz Ryan, was also the voice of Bubbie in ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack''.
38	** In "Game," when Bee (playing as the character "I Gotta Fart," voiced by [[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7709192/ Doug Smith]]) finishes all of the side quests and returns to Puppycat fully leveled up, she proudly says, "How do you like my gear?" This is an extremely subtle reference to what is arguably the most well-known quote from one of Doug Smith's most famous roles, Kintaro Oe from Manga/GoldenBoy. A clip of the scene in question can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QickU67A8j4 here]].
39	* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Cardamon, the landlady's son who seems to be around 4-5 years old, takes care of duties as if they were his own. This includes fixing Bee's overflowing toilet with a squeaky hammer and toy fishing rod. [[spoiler: Later deconstructed when it's revealed that his mother is in a coma. Even later still he has a breakdown over all the responsibility he has on his shoulders with no help from adults that find his situation strange.]]
40	%%* AnimationBump: Happens a lot.
41	* {{Animesque}}: Played with; while the character designs are definitely western, the overall aesthetic of the show is strongly influenced by anime. Bee's dream in the second episode feels like something out of Creator/StudioGhibli. In terms of style, there are also small things like sweatdrops and noses occasionally disappearing. The character designs later become more reminiscent of a typical anime style, particularly in ''Lazy in Space''.
42	* AndThatLittleGirlWasMe:
43	** Implied at the end of the pilot, [[spoiler: with Puppycat hinted to be the Space Outlaw from his story. Finally confirmed in season 2.]]
44	** Happens in the [[{{Bookends}} season finale too]] [[spoiler:, with it being implied that Cardamon's mother is the princess from the jellyfish story she told Cardamon]].
45	* AprilFoolsDay: Cartoon Hangover [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSb-WJo9VAA posted a Q&A session with Puppycat]] of dubious canonical status on April 1st. Of course, [[TheUnintelligible none of Puppycat's lines are translated]].
46	* ArtEvolution: In the series, both Bee and Puppycat are shorter and chubbier than they were in the pilot- in Bee's case, to the point that she almost looks like a child.
47	* BeachEpisode: The third episode. Not surprising, given the show's heavy anime influence.
48	* BettyAndVeronica: Deckard is Bee's shy and polite Betty, while his brother Crispin is her moody and slightly guarded Veronica.
49	* BittersweetEnding: Season one ends with [[spoiler: Deckard getting hurt in an inadvertent trip to space with Bee and then leaving for college, the kitchen planet from the above trip getting sucked into a black hole, Cardamon's mom maybe/maybe not coming out of her coma, and Bee and [=PuppyCat=] deciding to reacquaint themselves with each other after Bee's RoboticReveal]].
50	** In Lazy in Space's S1 finale, [[spoiler: Bee manages to stop the Space Warlocks' possession of Moully, but it's unclear whether he survived, and Bee is injured such that her emotional components have been ejected. However, Violet is inadvertently awoken by Puppycat, reunites with Cardamon, and launches her spaceship (that the island was built over) to leave Earth and seek out Bee's father for help.]]
51	* BloodlessCarnage: Despite the show generally being tame and easily watchable by all ages, this is averted. Notable in "Donut": [[spoiler: Deckard falls to the ground and hits his head on some small jewels, and a visible gash of blood which he even touches with his hand and sees. Fortunately, it's not a serious injury, and he patches it up with a band-aid not long after.]]
52	* BodyToJewel: In episode 4, Bee's tears are either ice or some kind of jewel. [[spoiler: Violet's tear blobs appear to have the small particles of wish crystals that she ate in Donut]]
53	* BreatherEpisode: "Beach" is just Bee and Puppycat strolling on the beach, just going to see Tempbot in order to watch some TV. No temp job, no monsters.
54	* BuffySpeak: After the accidental GroinAttack, Bee assures Deckard that she has "stuff" for his "stuff", which is a bag of ice for his crotch.
55	* CallBack: In the episode "Birthday", both the eggplant pillow and rainboots presents that Bee "bought" for Puppycat in the pilot are shown in the apartment.
56	* CameraObscurer: Bee sends a text to Deckard with a picture of the recipe she wants to make with him. The picture only shows Bee's thumb.
57	* CatapultNightmare: "AHH BAD DREAM! AHH YOU WERE THERE! AHH LASAGNA'S GONE!"
58	* CerebusRetcon: Originally, Bee getting fired at the start of the series was played as a NoodleIncident, with it being subtly implied that her immaturity probably played a part in it. However, the Lazy In Space remake shows that she worked at a restaurant with Deckard, who accidentally started a fire in the kitchen. She manages to put it out, but [[PoorCommunicationKills a slip of the tongue]] [[MisplacedRetribution cause her to take the blame for it]].
59	* ChekhovsGun: In "Farmer". The ''gum'' of all things [[spoiler: saves Bee's ''life'' from the cherry monster!]]
60	* TheComicallySerious:
61	** The temp agency boss, who berates Bee in his office full of turtle posters and has a tiny little pet that he feeds sushi off the top of his head.
62	** Also Cardamon, [[AdorablyPrecociousChild a very serious boy who likely isn't more than 5,]] who handles his assumed duties with authority and squeaky toys. [[spoiler: Once you realize he had no choice but to take on his mother's duties because she's in a coma, it becomes less funny.]]
63	* CrushBlush: As soon as Bee and Deckard see each other. Deckard's ears even turn red! It only stops when Bee [[ItMakesSenseInContext shoves some crotch-ice under the door]].
64	* CultureClash: The residents of Cathead planet think a human in a catsuit is the cutest thing they've ever seen, but Puppycat's physique nauseates them to the point of vomiting.
65	* CutawayGag:
66	-->'''Bee''': Hey, dude... I got you presennnntsss! The pet store I used to work at is going out of business.\
67	''[Cut to a dumpster behind the pet store]''\
68	'''Bee''': ''(popping out from the dumpster with Puppycat's presents)'' Ha ha ha!
69	* DogFoodDiet: Subverted with Bee when she tells Puppycat she won't eat his dog and cat food after her stomach growls and she has no money to buy food.
70	* DonutMessWithACop: See PoliceAreUseless below.
71	* DoubleMeaning: Wallace's words ("That's your ending? It's awful!") could mean both the ending of Puppycat's tale or [[spoiler:Puppycat's own fate, after the reveal that he's the outlaw.]]
72	* DreamIntro: The episode "Food" opens with Bee dreaming she is floating in the middle of nowhere with a group of Puppycats. She touches her Puppycat, gets an electric shock, and wakes up.
73	* DumpsterDive: How Bee really got Puppycat's presents for him when she claims the pet store she used to work at is going out of business.
74	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The pilot uses a more muted style with black outlines and less round character designs that couldn't decide on whether they should have FourFingeredHands or not. This wouldn't return for the actual web series and the Netflix reboot re-did the pilot episode to match the newer style.
75	* EldritchAbomination: That... ''creature'' that emerges from [[spoiler:Wallace's body]].
76	* FiveSecondForeshadowing: In the early part of the pilot, Bee accidentally hurts herself with the umbrella the same way she would later [[GroinAttack hurt Deckard]] with.
77	* {{Foreshadowing}}:
78	** Bee's ominous statement prior to the end of her dream sequence in Part I may be DreamingOfThingsToCome : "Why does this make me feel so sad?" [[spoiler:The second to last shot before Bee wakes up mirrors a scene in the climax of Episode 10.]]
79	** [[spoiler: Bee's RoboticReveal]]:
80	*** "Food"'s dream sequence has Bee when she touches the water bubble [[spoiler:electrocutes it]].
81	*** "Beach"'s reveal that she's afraid of water [[spoiler: is ''quite'' unusual for humans]].
82	*** "Birthday"'s opening song, which is a birthday song for Bee from her dad. Upon a second listen, it's full of hints.
83	--->'''Dad Box:''' I sure hope that you're not broke and everything's been running good.
84	*** This line by Deckard while he's trying to lift Bee up in "Wedding" [[spoiler:is later revealed to be in a literal sense]].
85	--->'''Deckard:''' [[spoiler: Like your bones are made of metal!]]
86	*** In the Netflix reboot, Bee is [[spoiler:seemingly MadeOfIron]] with no explanation. The first hint is that in ''Again for the First Time'', [[spoiler:her hands touch fire multiple times and she doesn't even react to the fact that they're darkened afterward]]. [[spoiler:This is then followed up by the old man calling Bee a "scary young old woman", which turns out to be the case as Bee is a robot old enough to be considered a senior citizen]].
87	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: The turtle taking the sushi from the temp. agent's head.
88	* GlamourFailure: Puppycat's reflection, at one point, briefly changes into [[spoiler: the space outlaw.]]
89	* GroinAttack: Bee accidentally does this to Deckard. With an umbrella.
90	* GrowlingGut: Bee's stomach growls from hunger when she realizes that she has no money to buy food. Puppycat guards his food against Bee, but she assures him that she's not gonna eat his food.
91	-->'''Bee''': Crap! I ran out of food money!\
92	''(Puppycat guards his food)''\
93	'''Bee''': Relax, man. I'm not gonna eat ''your'' food.
94	* HatesBaths: Bee. Having to do temp work in a bathhouse doesn't end well for her. [[spoiler: We find out why later when it is revealed Bee is a robot]].
95	* HeroesLoveDogs: Well, Puppycat is also a dog...
96	* HeroesPreferSwords: Bee can summon a sword in times of need. Subverted in that she evidently favors [[ManBitesMan her teeth]].
97	* HumanPet: One of Bee and Puppycat's temp jobs involve being pet cats to giant alien cats. While they fawn over Bee, Puppycat is considered too ugly to be their pet and is shunned.
98	* IronicEcho: After [[spoiler: Wallace transforms]], Bee reacts with "Awwww sick!" (in an "ew, gross" way). When she later [[spoiler: bites Wallace's tongue to save Puppycat]], Puppycat responds with "AW SIIICK!" and asks her to use her sword.
99	* JabbaTableManners: In the picture above and twice in episode one, after Bee eats anything her mouth is covered in whatever she was eating. The police officer keeping her ([[PoliceAreUseless and only her]]) from jaywalking is also an undignified eater, as he shoves an entire donut into his mouth (and also the hand holding it).
100	* {{Jerkass}}: The Earth temp agent takes a call where, apparently, his son's school calls to tell him that his son is going into allergic shock from peanuts. He denies responsibility for not telling them about his son's allergy; and then tells them to wait 30 minutes and either his son will get better or have to go to the hospital.
101	* JustSoStory: Cardamon recites a story about an Octopus and a princess creating the first jellyfish--the former fell in love with the latter's free-floating hair in the water, but once he realized that it was attached to the princess, offered her a ride back to her kingdom. The Princess repaid the octopus with her hair since he liked it, and so spent a long time traveling with the octopus-shaped hair bundle. Unfortunately, it broke up in the ocean waves, and in the octopus' attempts to get it back, twisted himself into knots and broke himself apart. The resulting pieces merged with the princess' hair and made jellyfish.
102	* LargeHam: When Bee and Puppycat are teleported the ladybug says: "I've been left behind... I'm all alone... AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH?!"
103	* LaserGuidedKarma: The Jelly Cube Planet's farmer in "Farmer". [[spoiler: He "turned people into pet food" by using their souls as fertilizer in order to grow whipped cream for his livestock to eat. Oh, and even though Bee gives him a better alternative, he didn't have anything to pay them with. So in the end his own animals ''[[SwallowedWhole ate him]] [[EatenAlive alive]]''.]]
104	* LateForSchool: Bee was late for her meeting with the temp agency.
105	* LoveBubbles: Appear to float in the town, much like in ''Franchise/SailorMoon''.
106	* LuminescentBlush: Happens to Deckard when he sees Bee.
107	* MagicalGirl: Bee apparently becomes one, sort of a {{Henshin Hero}}-esque cat.
108	* MakesSenseInContext: Many fans promoted the series by passing a gif of the popular '''''"I GOT YOU SOME ICE FOR YOUR CROOOTCH!"''''' moment around image boards and Tumblr.
109	* ManBitesMan: Well, woman bites monster.
110	* ManChild: Bee is this, and is labeled as unable to grow up by Cas, from her inability to hold a job, to her rather childish nature.
111	* MaliciousMisnaming: According to [[AllThereInTheManual Cartoon Hangover's production blog]], [[http://beeandpuppycat.cartoonhangover.com/post/30115367300/whats-the-name-of-that-guy-with-the-white-hair Deckard's sister calls him "Dick-hard."]]
112	* MisplacedRetribution: The Netflix series shows that Bee getting fired was a result of this. Deckard accidentally started a fire in the kitchen they worked at, but because Bee told Howell "I did it [[PoorCommunicationKills (put the fire out)]]", he fired her under the assumption that she ''started'' the fire.
113	* MixAndMatchCritters: Puppycat.
114	* MotorMouth: Bee talks almost constantly.
115	* NameAndName: The show's title refers to its two title characters: [[ProtagonistTitle Bee and Puppycat]].
116	* NiceGuy: Deckard makes Bee a casserole/lasagna for her after hearing she lost her job. He also tries to work around all the mistakes in the recipe that Puppycat seems to ruin on purpose.
117	* OriginsEpisode: The ''Lazy in Space'' Episode "Funny Lying" has Puppycat [[spoiler: having dreams about his previous life as The Space Outlaw and how he got his own space ship in the first place.]]
118	* PerpetualFrowner: Puppycat's mouth is always turned into a frown. Whether this is its natural shape or Puppycat is perpetually grumpy is unclear.
119	* PoliceAreUseless: While Bee is waiting to cross the street, two police in a cop car drive to the intersection and stop to glare at her, to make sure she doesn't jaywalk, while ignoring two kids running across the street to chase a duck.
120	* PossessionImpliesMastery: Bee seems automatically aware of her ability to summon a sword from her costume's bell.
121	* PostKissCatatonia: [[spoiler: Puppycat]] was in shock after Bee deliberately kissed him to [[ItMakesSenseInContext retrieve her gum]].
122	* PrecisionFStrike: Generally the show is appropriate for almost anyone to watch, but characters sometimes say mild swear words like "ass" once in a while. Nothing beyond that though.
123	** ''Lazy in Space'' will occasionally have the characters use harsher swear-words... which will receive a SoundEffectBleep. This includes Puppycat, whose entire language is nonsensical melodic tones.
124	* ProductionThrowback: The monster from the pilot is a shout-out to some [[http://natazilla.tumblr.com/post/20373506553/ sketches Natasha put up on her Tumblr]] all the way back in 2012.
125	* RayGun: Puppycat ''is'' one, complete with gun language (and sound effects) like 'cocking' his tail so he can fire.
126	* RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic: Averted constantly. From Bee's "I've got some stuff for your stuff!" to Deckard's possible very slight speech impediment.
127	* TheReveal: In the season 2 finale, [[spoiler:the island is revealed to be a giant spaceship.]]
128	* RepeatingSoTheAudienceCanHear: Seen in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSb-WJo9VAA April Fool's Interview with Puppycat]].
129	%%* RidiculouslyCuteCritter:
130	%%** Puppycat.
131	%%** The temp agent's turtle.
132	%%** Cardamon's dog Sticky also qualifies.
133	* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: [[spoiler:Bee. She gets hungry, eats human food, and has grown from child-size to adult-size.]]
134	* RunningGag: There have been three episodes in a row that features some animal [[AnimalTalk talking to Puppycat]].
135	%%* ShipSinking: Several ships from the original continuity take a hit after the release of the Netflix redux. %% Entries might need to be revised/removed since there must be in-universe acknowledgment of the ships potentially becoming canon when they were sunk
136	%%** Despite the Netflix continuity giving Cas and Toast a backstory flashback that layers on the LesYay between them, "Season 2" (which is now combined into season 1) goes forward with the plot of Toast becoming pregnant by Cas's brother Merlin and them becoming an "unwed" married couple. The fact that Toast moves out of Cas' room into Merlin's and they seem happy together further solidifies the fact that anything becoming of Cas/Toast is, at this point, unlikely.
137	%%** Depending on how you interpret certain moments in the third episode, Bee/Deckard can become very difficult to ship moving forward, as the nature of their relationship arguably becomes something closer to that of a child and their caretaker due to the reveal that Bee used to babysit Deckard and Cas in the past. How much older she was than them when it happened, and what her exact age was is unclear.
138	%%** For those who wanted to ship the Space Outlaw Puppycat with Bee, the fact that Puppycat used to babysit when she was a child makes it quite difficult now.
139	* ShipperOnDeck: According to the semi-canon April Fool's Day interview, Puppycat ships Bee and Deckard.
140	* ShoujoDemographic: The cartoon is clearly inspired by shoujo anime, both aesthetically and thematically. Bee is older than most shoujo MagicalGirl heroines, however.
141	* ShoutOut:
142	** ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' gets a fair number of shoutouts:
143	*** The five Puppycats in Bee's dreams have the same color scheme as the Inner Senshi.
144	*** The beginning of "Beach" shows that Bee has an alarm clock doll of [[Anime/SailorMoon Luna]] on her shelf.
145	** Creator/StudioGhibli films also get a few shout outs too:
146	*** It's tough to spot unless you've seen these [[http://beeandpuppycat.cartoonhangover.com/post/101436761107/where-characters-sleep-deckards-room-early# sketches]] by Allegri but the rug in Deckard's room has the same pattern as Howl's jacket! From ''Anime/HowlsMovingCastle'' of course.
147	*** "Cat" has the bathhouse Bee works at containing baths reminiscent of those in [[Anime/SpiritedAway Yubaba's bathhouse]]. When rampaging, the cats tear through the building smushed together and writhing not unlike Noh Face.
148	** One of the posters in the Earth Temp Agency has a turtle with sunglasses that has very similar coloring to [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Squirtle]]. In 'Beach', one of the cats is yellow and has red cheeks like Pikachu.
149	** The art style of Puppycat's story is very similar to the silhouette art in Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena.
150	** Cardamon makes [[Film/{{Blade Runner}}an origami unicorn]] for Bee in episode 4. [[spoiler: Much like in the movie, this can be taken as a clue that Bee is a robot.]]
151	* ShowWithinAShow: Bee and (surprisingly) Puppycat are fans of ''Pretty Patrick's Lunchtime''. The entirety of "Beach" is about them trying to find a place where they could watch a marathon of it.
152	* SmartAnimalAverageHuman: Bee, an eccentric and unlucky girl, and her intelligent and grumpy cat/dog Puppycat.
153	* SocialServicesDoesNotExist: Cardamon's mother is in a coma (and he appears to be the only one caring for her) and the only other person in his apartment is his dog. Nobody does anything about this, even when he takes over his mother's role as landlord, despite him being only seven years old.
154	%%* SpacePirates: The outlaw from Puppycat's story.
155	* SpeakingSimlish: Puppycat speaks in a series of synthesized beep sounds.
156	* SpeechImpediment: Deckard possibly has a very slight one.
157	* StupidEvil: [[spoiler: The warlocks who are hunting down Puppycat turn out to be pretty terrible at their jobs. They only inherited their jobs from their fathers, don't seem to really do anything other than sit around and argue with each other, and even when they are doing their jobs, they just stick their hands out and can't see where they're going, meaning that they never capture Puppycat and only succeed in destroying and damaging planets and making themselves look like idiots.]]
158	* StraightMan: Cardamon, the de facto landlord, is a [[AdorablyPrecociousChild very serious small child.]]
159	* SugarAndIcePersonality: Puppycat looks perpetually grumpy, and is fairly curt with Bee. However, when babysitting Wallace, the first thing he does is hop on top of Wallace and kiss his forehead because Wallace misses his mom. This seems to be a regular occurrence.
160	* SyntheticVoiceActor: Puppycat is voiced by [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Oliver]].
161	* TalkingAnimal: Puppycat is an IntelligibleUnintelligible, while the ladybug speaks with [[VocalDissonance a deep voice]].
162	* TransformationSequence: Downplayed. Bee transforms but it's not as exaggerated as most MagicalGirl shows.
163	* TranslationYes: It takes a lot longer for Puppycat to say "Why not?" compared to "Hello Peon. Bow to me."
164	* UnfazedEveryman: Bee has a tendency to under-react to events that would freak out lots of people.
165	** Being (briefly) sentenced to incineration elicits little more than a slightly surprised "whoah".
166	** After inexplicably finding a dog (or maybe a cat) and seeing a letter transported through its bell collar, all she can manage is a brief groan.
167	** Immediately after the above-mentioned scene, when she reads the letter telling Puppycat to report to Fishbowl Space for temp work, her only reaction is "Oh, let me get you a pen..."
168	*** In "Donut," Deckard appears startled for only a second when he sees [[spoiler: Bee's mangled, robotic arm.]]
169	* TheUnintelligible: Puppycat. He has to be given subtitles for the audience to understand him. Though somehow [[IntelligibleUnintelligible everyone in the show understands him]]. Bee lampshades it:
170	-->'''Bee''': Hey, you talk! Kinda...
171	* VocalDissonance: The ladybug has a jarringly deep voice.
172	* VoiceOfTheLegion: Zig-zagged. [[spoiler: The monster that emerges from Wallace]] has two mouths, but only one is speaking; the other is whispering vague creepiness.
173	* VomitIndiscretionShot: In "Cats", one of the cats of the Cat-head planet's bath house pukes at the mere sight of Puppycat.
174	* WasOnceAMan: It is heavily implied that the Space Outlaw from Puppycat's fairytale [[spoiler: became Puppycat himself.]]
175	* WhamEpisode: Boy-howdy, is "Donut" ever one... [[spoiler: After the events of the previous episode "Wedding", Puppycat is stuck in a window. In an attempt to free him, Bee uses a temp-job request to teleport him out... only she takes Deckard with her instead. After a minor freakout (and nearly being incinerated as well), they arrive at Donut Planet and settle in their assigned task. Deckard takes to the baking assignment with delight and seems to be taking everything in stride; but when he tries to deliver his handmade donut, the magic delivery blackhole suddenly attacks everything. Bee tries to rescue the baker cat from being sucked in and fails, but manages to hold him for several seconds before becoming critically injured. When it appears Deckard is going to be crushed by planetary debris, he's saved by Bee who then throws him into Temp-Bot's portal, and then shuts down the black hole. Much later on, Puppycat returns home to find Bee sitting next to her Dad-Bot... repairing the machinery in her arm with it.]]
176	* YourSizeMayVary: In the second episode, Bee's size is all over the place. Her proportions relative to ''herself'' don't even remain consistent. She can't even stay the same for a single scene, at one point visibly changing size when she enters the foreground.
