  • Dabchick's little dance in "Shell We Dance?". It's cute to see a little bird wobbling and bouncing about, attempting to woo another bird. Only issue is that the other bird is nothing but a porcelain decoration.
    • Dabchick looking concerned when he breaks the egg... only to be distracted by bread and run off with it.
  • Dabchick staring blankly as two rabbits hump in front of him in "Bunny Love".
  • Dabchick's temper tantrum in "Breadwinner": a tiny, silent, pouty little bird stomping his feet and trying to look tough.
  • Dabchick's Oh, Crap! moment in "The Seaside". He's taking a stroll on the beach, narrating his surroundings... and then he sees a wave. One "oh balls" later and he's soaking wet, covered in seaweed, and asking to go home.
  • Dabchick's... resourcefulness in "Rubber Stockings". Him finding apparently used condoms, confusing them for waterproof stockings, and wearing them to keep his feet dry is humorous (and gross) enough, but the fact that he takes such pride in his "cleverness" and misunderstands people's observations make the episode even funnier.
  • Dabchick getting mad at a stack of blue blocks in "Big Blue Nobber". The toys are just sitting there, but he somehow perceives them as a threat and knocks them over. He then acts like he's just committed an act of great violence.
  • The Non Sequitur that is "Dabchick's Sponsor". The episode states that Dabchick is being sponsored, only to cut to a low-quality video of Paul McNulty eating cereal.
  • In the episode "The Hunt", Dabchick pretends to be a hunter when in actuality all he's doing is going after small bugs and spiders. He then has a funny Oh, Crap! moment when he realizes that the cat Maisy may be hunting him. He panics for a bit.. then anticlimactically just sees her in the open licking her rear.
  • Dabchick getting knocked around by a baby in "Hit Me Baby". He's just trying to play with/entertain the child, only to get kicked, punched, crushed, and slapped while a cover of Britney Spears' "...Baby One More Time" plays.
  • In the episode "The Fair", which begins with Dabchick and Petros goofing off at a fair, and later when Dabchick drops acid. His dumbstruck expression and slurred, monotone speech is funny enough on its own (especially coming out of a small bird puppet), but then he wakes up in a duck pond game. He calls out for Petros and states that he's with "the hooker ducks" "just like last year".
  • Dabchick falling off of his skateboard in "First Christmas". Him just yelling "OW!" to end the episode is a comical way to end things.
  • Dabchick's immaturity in "Art School" where he childishly points out all the nude sculptures and states how "even the things that aren't supposed to be willies... are definitely willies".
  • In "The Everworm", Dabchick grabs a rubber band thinking it's a worm. This comical misunderstanding turns into Dabchick believing he is fighting the fight of his life, with the "Everworm" tangling around him and his life flashing before his eyes. Even after he thinks he's flung the litter away, it's just on his face out of his vision.
  • Dabchick screaming "I'M BORED!" in "Bored at Heathrow", being loud and pitchy compared to the dialogue that precedes and comes after it.
  • The episode "Under Cover" is full of funny moments:
    • Dabchick falling down in the middle of what he believes is an inspiring, dramatic speech.
    • Dabchick pretending to go spelunking when he is really just traversing through Barnaby's bed sheets is a cute and funny concept, but it's made funnier with how seriously Dabchick takes such a minor and safe activity. He addresses lost articles of clothing as if they were lost hikers, is afraid of the dark and tight spaces, and treats "used" tissues as "ceremonial robes".
    • As mentioned above, Dabchick finds "used" tissues in part of the bed sheets. Upon switching to UV light, he sees "cave art" and determines that they were reserved "for the most sacred of ceremonies". He then puts one on his head.
    • While trying to get out, Dabchick thinks he may fit through a "tiny hole"... which is actually the cat Maisy's bottom. He jumps forward, and... cue That Poor Cat.
  • Dabchick's growing frustrations and eventual freakout in "Monopoly". Him getting so angry at board game is funny (and relatable), but then he goes off on a conspiracy rant and ruining the game for everyone by tearing the game money and knocking over everyone else's pieces.
    • Dabchick saying that he's in control of his own actions, not "some spotty little gimp". He's referring to the dice, but a picture of his puppeteer flashes on screen for a frame.
