Season 1

Dog's Best Friend

• The episode inverts the "new pet" story type by having it from the animal's perspective.
• When trying to find a human for Dylan, Dee Dee and Dizzy head to a coffee shop, or as they call it, "the pet shop."
• When "Mr. Fuzzy" finds the bathroom:
  Dylan: Aw, look how smart he is! He's thirsty and he instinctively knew where the drinking bowl was!
  [the toilet flushes]
  Dolly: I don't think he's drinking...
  Dylan: Aw, he's marking his territory!
  [Mr. Fuzzy emerges, and the Dalmatians look in, before giving a grossed-out look]
  Dolly: Well, it worked! I'm never drinking from that bowl again!
• The same pup that looks like he's going to throw up in the above example has the same reaction to when Mr. Fuzzy hooks up with the vendor at the park.

Boom Night

• When Dylan is forced to wear bunny ear muffs like the rest of the family.
  Doug: Son, your sacrifice will be remembered for all eternity.
  Delilah: Definitely through the weekend!
• Both Dolly and Dylan's anti-explosion gear. Dolly in particular is covered in tennis balls, prompting Fergus to call her "fetching."
• Dolly asks Dorothy if she can hear her under Dylan's helmet. Dorothy shakes her head.
• When Dylan realizes that neither Dolly nor Dorothy are in the house.
  Dylan: I've got to find them, but I'm not supposed to go out on... BOOM NIGHT! Okay, get it together! I am an invincible warrior of the burning night! NO, DYLAN! NO! You'll get smashed to smithereens! Shut up, Dylan! Right... I need body armor!
• When we see Doug in the fire truck, he is howling in rhythm with the siren.

Walkies On the Wild Side

• Dolly's absolute failure to calm the puppies down during a thunderstorm. At one point she even tries some kinda weird... I don't know, a religious chant? And that goes about as well as you expect.
  Dolly singing awkwardly: Thunder can be fun-der. Lightning isn't frightening, it's exciting!
  [The puppies stare, totally confused.]
• Dylan somehow managing to convince someone that he's a cat.

Power to the Puppies

• Dante's introduction is incredibly hammy.
  Dante: TAKE COVER! MY DREAMS FORECAST DIVISION AND DISASTER ON DALMATIAN STREET... also, rain!

  He then proceeds to rub what is happening in Dylan's face for the rest of the episode.

• When Delilah and Doug ask Dolly and Dylan to settle their disagreement amongst themselves:
  Doug: How about you settle this...
  Dylan: With an election?
  Dolly: With a cage match?!
  Doug: Erm... Dylan's idea sounds... safer?
• The Triple D acting as the news coverage for the election.
• The first thing Diesel does when he gets elected 'top dog'... is declare his tail enemy of the state.
• Dawkins performing CPR on a teddy bear.

May Contain Nuts

• When Dylan asks Delgado if he wants to play "Poodle-Wolf" together.
  Delgado: Yeah, you know, I just remembered, I got to... [runs away from the room] runawayveryquicklyoutoftheroombye!

Poetry Scam

• Diesel's cone picks up random voices, which leads to him imitating whomever he picks up. His head even morphs to resemble the person he's imitating.
• Dylan trying to make sure Diesel does not chew his leg.
• When Dolly does her free-style on Hansel, basing her lyrics on Dylan telling Diesel not to chew his stitches, by telling Diesel he'll have to go back to the vet. One of the lyrics is "She'll check your bits," referring to a certain pair of reproductive organs; Hansel himself looks down at his crotch as Dolly sings this.
• When the other Dalmatians ask to attend Dolly's recital, Dylan asks them to be inconspicuous.
  Pup 1: We'll be "incatriminous!"
  Pup 2: "Consp-*blows raspberry*?"
  Pup 3: "Insconsploocus?"
  Pup 4: "Inconscoopetous?"
• After Dolly admits she memorized Dylan's poem:
  Fergus: So not cool, pinching stuff that doesn't belong to you! [proceeds to take a sip from the drinking cup of a human sitting next to him]
  Puppies: We still love you, sis!
  Puppy: "Conspiculous!"

The Nose Job

• When it looks like Diesel is responsible for vandalizing the park, Dolly notes that he doesn't exactly seem like a criminal mastermind as we see him repeatedly walk into the wall with a food bowl over his eyes, giggling all the while.

Flea-Mageddon

• Dante really shines in this episode.
  • When Dante gives his warnings of an apocalyptic event, he refers to famine. When Dolly questions this, he states it's because "[They're] out of chewy snacks!"
  • When Dylan asks why he was lurking in the shadows, Dante's response is, "Best place for it."
  • Dante trying to do dramatic lightning, before the camera pans out to reveal it's him turning the bathroom light on and off.
• Dylan's "entertainment" when the non-infected pups need to hold out in the bathroom until morning.
  Dante: The History of Mars, in SEVENTY-TWO VOLUMES!?
  • And then near the end...
  Dylan: To the treehouse! It's got everything: snacks, backup generator, more books on Mars...
• The imagery of the "infected" pups, looking like squirming monsters with glowing red eyes.
• Dylan performing a parody of the Thriller dance to get all the fleas to come to him.
• In a nice case of Nothing Is Funnier, Dawkins confirms that DJ, Da Vinci and Delgado (and maybe a couple other pups that were mentioned off screen) did not get infected by the flea outbreak, and are probably stuck in a room somewhere to the "hoard" wouldn't get them. Judging by how Dylan tried to get him and his group to entertain themselves, one has to wonder how they also tried to pass the time. Or better yet, if Dylan got things to pass the time for them with his "entertainment" and they were stuck with that for the rest of the night!

Dal-Martians

• Dawkins's reaction to Dylan referring to him as his assistant.
  Dawkins: [with a goofy Igor-like look on his face] Yes, Master!... No, Master!... I am but your humble assistant, master! [blows a raspberry]
• The conversation Dylan has with himself when he sees what he thinks is aliens.
  Dylan: Did I just see... aliens!? No, I must have imagined it! Or, did I!? Who should I tell? Dolly? No! Dawkins? Perhaps! No, not yet! Need facts, prove they're here! You're a dog of science, Dylan! Even if you are talking to yourself! Am I!? Yes! No!
  • When Dylan is sharing "proof" of the "aliens' to Dolly and Dawkins, he wipes out a photo that has him pretty high and mighty, using that as proof that the aliens want to contact him... cut to his real faced looking deranged as possible.

A Date With Destiny... Dallas & Deja Vu

• Dylan getting super protective of Triple-D, to the point where he bathes them in a bathtub without any water. Dolly comments he'll be wrapping them in bubble wrap next, which Dylan denies. Cue Dawkins arriving with Dylan's puppy bubble wrapper and launches it at Dylan, causing him to bounce down the stairs with all the pups chasing the plastic bubble he's in.
• Destiny notices that a lot of people were able to find their location.
  Destiny: I smell a leak!
  Dallas: So sue me! I'm not fully limo-trained!
• While the pups are in Hunter's helicopter, Deja Vu lets out a small fart, much to the disgust of her sisters.
  Dallas: I really wish Dylan was here!
  (Deja Vu farts)
  Deja Vu: Oopsie! Sorry! I'm not fully helicopter-trained!
  (Destiny and Dallas sniff her butt and recoil in disgust.)
• Hunter somehow survives the fall by crashing into a gelatin mold.

The Wow Of Miaow

• This exchange:
  Dylan: Bad Dimitris! Haven't we taught you to be nice to cats?
  Dimitri 1: Sure. "Be nice to cats." [winks]
  Deepak: He winked at you!
  Dylan: Oh, no, he didn't wink.
  Dolly: [skating by] He winked, all right.
  Dylan: Maybe something's in his eye?
  Dimitri 1: Yeah. "Something's in my eye." [winks]
• Dylan's scandalized reaction to Constantin's "What do you call a dog with no brain?" insult.
• While Deepak getting his feelings hurt by Dylan and the Dimitris and walking out on them is a Tear Jerker, what happens next is somewhat amusing.
  Deepak: And so, with a nest full of thorns, this bird must fly!
  [Beat]
  Dimitri 1: Does that mean he's off?
  Deepak: Yes, that means I'm off!
• With Deepak moving next door, Dizzy and Dee Dee get nightmares and begin acting like Dante, yelling how the earth shall open up from below them. Cue this happening because of Diesel's digging, with Dante himself sulking and asking why his predictions can't be as accurate as Dizzy and Dee Dee's.
  Dizzy and Dee Dee: "The end of the world is nigh!"
  Dante: "Hey! That's my line."
• This conversation with Deepak, Constantin, and Dylan:
  Deepak: Tell him I shan't return until he surrenders his dog ego.
  Constantin: He says he shan't return until you surrender your dog ego.
  Dylan: I can hear him, you know.
  Constantin: He says he can hear - We know that, dog! We're just making you feel small!

Fear Window

• When Dylan suggests ways Dolly can entertain herself, one of his suggestions is, "Think good thoughts about Pluto becoming a planet again..."
• Dylan rolling Dolly so close to the telescope that it squishes her eyeball.
• A pigeon making the horror sting music.

The Dog House

• Delilah and Dr. Dave agreeing to sedate Hugo, who came into the hospital with a thorn in his butt.
• The fake human Triple-D and DJ make, featuring a balloon head and a cassette player playing lines from in-universe commercials.
  "Human": [as its head is expanding] Are you Just Plain Nuts?! [balloon pops]

A Summer To Remember

• How the first musical number begins.
  Dolly: Ready, D.J.?! HIT IT! [music begins]
  Dylan: No, no, stop! We don't have time for a musical number!
• Delilah and Doug's stress of constantly being asked if they're in Cornwall yet.
• The long line of puppies waiting to use a tree.
• Delilah lists "unusual pleasure" as one of the things the family's going to do on their vacation.^note It's every bit possible that she meant that being together and having fun as a family was an uncommon thing for them since both parents work a lot, but it really sounds like she says "and" instead of "an," which changes the meaning of the line. She gives a sly look to Doug, who gives a sheepish look back. This is followed by a Running Gag in the episode where the two try to get some "alone time" together, but keep getting interrupted.
• After having a musical number about "Summer Sun," Dolly's reaction to them arriving in Cornwall, only to find it's raining.
• Dylan's first meeting with Summer is extremely awkward for him.
  Dylan: I'm just surprised that someone so...
  Summer: So... what?!
  Dylan: [gulps] ...Far from civilization... Oh... sorry, didn't mean to be patronizing. Do you know what that means!?
  Dolly: Dad, call your crew! Dylan's going down in flames!
• Dante's interactions with Bessie the Cow in the episode.
• At the beginning of part 2, as the episode recaps the bus going out of control, Dante says "Previously on… 101 Dalmatian Street!" before he resumes screaming.
• In a mix between Amazingly Embarrassing Parents and Skewed Priorities, Doug decides to use what could possibly be their final moments before being drowned by the rising tide on a rock during a thunderstorm... to tell Spike a bunch of puppy stories about Dolly. The fact that Delilah is encouraging this is the icing on the cake.
  Dolly: Dylan, save me! From dad!
• Doug's attempts at dancing.

Long Tongue Day

• When all the other Dalmatians are scared of a kraken which Dolly and Dylan invented.
  Dylan: You know what I always say?
  Dee-Dee: Quit playing with your kibble.
  Delgado: Don't leave your toys on the stairs.
  Diesel: Stop dragging your butt across the rug?
• Somehow, even perpetual Only Sane Man Dawkins is convinced the kraken exists.

Doggy Da Vinci

• A lot of people don't seem to notice how Da Vinci gets the inspiration for the first painting that kicks off the episode. How does she get it? From a sick Dallas and Destiny. Or more specifically, their snot. This might cross over to squick for some though, not helped by the way she words it that makes it sound like she has some odd fetish...
  Da Vinci: Oh wow... so sneezy and gross and beautiful and... real.
• Deja Vu has an urgent announcement for Dylan and Dolly: ^note Destiny and Deja Vu have the same English voice actor.
  Deja Vu: Bad news: Destiny's voice is back!
• When Dylan and Dolly hear the human residents of Camden talking about "Doggy Da Vinci."
  Dylan: What? How do they know her name?
  Dolly: Huh? Maybe humans aren't as dumb as we thought.

London, We Have a Problem

• The Dimitris assault the postman, as they are wont to do. Dimitri 3 in particular is hanging on to his posterior.
• While Dylan is talking to Hunter, a pup lands next to him and starts crying.
• Dawkins's reaction to being the first victim of Hunter's tube.
  Dawkins: I'm telling mum.
• Dante's in-universe "I Knew It!" comes off as funny, especially this significantly less hammy comment right before he gets sucked up.
  Dante: And who knew it'd be on a Tuesday?
• Dylan tries to save Dolly by performing the classic "obstructed tube equals explosion" gag by letting himself get sucked by Hunter while wearing his space helmet. The helmet just gets stuck to the tube's nozzle. Everyone's reaction just sells it.
  Dylan: [clearly embarrassed] Well, that went...
  Dolly: Whatever, go, go, go!

It's My Party

• Dolly mistakenly calling Dallas "Deja Vu."
  Destiny: Ught!
  Dallas: That's it!
  Deja Vu: Wait, I thought I was Deja Vu.
• When Dolly thinks she's going to win the party contest she and Dylan are having against each other...
  Dolly: [singing] We got this!
  We're gonna win this!
  'Cause, we're the best!
  Oh, who's the best!?
  Dolly and Destiny are the best!
  That didn't rhyme!
  But we still cool, we're gonna win!
  • All throughout Dolly's song, Destiny has a look of utter contempt on her face for the party attire Dolly dressed her in.
• Dawkins briefly living a fantasy of being an interplanetary princess.
• Deja Vu and Diesel talking about what Deja Vu's party is going to be. It's the family Ditzes bouncing off of each other: the conversation barely makes any sense, and it ends Deja Vu literally bouncing out of the basement shouting nonsense buzzwords with complete seriousness.
  Deja Vu: My party needs to be a surprise for wild fox babies.

Fox in the Dog House

• Fergus spends the second half of the episode wearing Destiny's collar.
• Dizzy and Dee Dee manage to steal bags of nuts from the nearby convenience store and get away with it by sweet-talking Pearl.
• When Fergus is revealed to have been faking his injury:
  Dawkins: You were faking it! [Beat] Hey, that's gas!
• Fergus tries to convince Dylan he's still "wild," while Dawkins offers him some water.
  Dawkins: Still or sparkling?
  Fergus: Sparkling!

Don't Push Your Luck

• When Big Fee moves in to the Dalmatians' house.
  Triple-D: RAT! [screaming] EEEEEEEE!
  Deja Vu: Cow! Moo... Chicken! BAKAH! What? We're doing animal impressions, right?
• During the skating tournament, one of the competitors crashes into some traffic cones. The cone remains on his head for the entire rest of the episode.

The Walls are Alive

• When Dolly tells the other puppies that it is a full moon out:
  Dolly:: You know what that means!?
  Dante: Werewolves!?
  Dolly: Better! Sardines!
  Dante: Were-sardines!?
• Eventually, Dolly realizes all her other siblings have also gone missing...except one.
  Deja Vu: (slowly slinks up next to Dolly with a large creepy smile) It's just you and me now.
  Dolly: NOOOOOOO!!
• Deja Vu asking a bunch of questions to Dolly about what the walls are like if they're alive. With each question, Dolly gets visibly more annoyed.
• When Dolly finds the rest of her siblings, she asks where they are.
  Dante: The Underworld!
  Dawkins: Parallel dimension.
  Deepak: Enlightenment.
  Deja Vu: Pumpkins!

Diamond Dogs

• Dylan telling the Dimitris to keep guard whilst Hugo and Clarissa are out, only for them to start trashing the place within seconds.
• Dolly and Dylan managing to break through Clarissa's security system... by using Diesel's head as a battering ram.

Ride Along

• This scene:
  Dylan: [annoyed] Oh, brother...''
  Dalmatian Puppies: You called?

Poodlewolf

• When Dylan is explaining Poodlewolf to Dolly, it cuts to her perspective where Dylan is just saying "Blah, Blah, Blah" to her.

The Longest Night

• Hansel's attempts at hunting an elk.
  • When his "elk" is just a kibble bag stuck on some sticks.
  Hansel: You try finding an elk in north London!
  • Then, when every one charges towards it, they only collide in to each other (Dawkins himself colliding in to a tree)! Diesel, having dug his way through, is the only one to reach the bag and remarks that it tastes of "venison flavor."
• Dolly trying to have Diesel help with her prank.
  Dolly: I just need you to shout for help!
  Diesel: FOR HELP!
  Dolly: No, just help!
  Diesel: JUST HELP!
  Dolly: Help! Only help!
  Diesel: Got it! HELP! ONLY HELP!
  • The scene then cuts to Dylan, Dawkins, Fergus & Hansel's perspective, where we hear Diesel.
  Diesel: HELP-ER-OKAY, HELP! NOTHNG BUT HELP! HELP! JUST HELP! ONLY HELP! NOTHNG BUT HELP! (Every one arrives) Hey, what's up?

Dawkins Strikes Back

• Dawkins trying to relax on his strike. The keyword being try.

D-Factor

• When Dylan does a survey on whether the other pups think he has a personality.
  Destiny: Yeah, you're kind of like...
  Dallas: I don't know...furniture? Comfy!
  Deja Vu: Y-Yeah, and just like...there...
  Dawkins: That's more a soft science query. You should try Deepak!
  Deepak: The color of your aura is...I don't know...beige?
  D.J: I won't lie...If you were a piece of music, you'd probably be what plays in an elevator.
  Diesel: Errrrrrrr...Digdigdigdigdigdigdigdig! (digs in to the garden)
• D.J. on the drums during Dylan's comedy show.
  • By the third joke, he just walks out.
  • After one of Dylan's jokes, one puppy's so bored they fall asleep.
• When Clarissa asks Dylan to perform at her party, Dolly & Dylan are suspicious at first, but Dylan quickly agrees when it's mentioned Portia will be there. Cue Dolly and all the puppies facepalming (or rather, facepawing).
• Dylan's failed attempts at gaining a new personality, especially "Dylightful."
  Dylightful: YO GIRLS!

Dante's Inferno

• Dante's reaction to Hunter's return, Skewed Priorities at its finest, with a hint of Nightmare Fuel thrown in!
  • Dante making baby talk to Dorothy while nuzzling her nose:
  Dante: Do you know what day it is!? It's Doomsday! (maniacal laugh) Yes, it is!
  Dorothy: (attempts to bite Dante, but he dodges).
  Dante: I saw that comiiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggggggg!
  • Dante happily bouncing about while everyone around him is panicking and screaming, calling himself "Dantastico" in the process.
  Dante: (Singing) It's Doomsday, Doomsday! Diddly-Diddly-Doomsday!
  • Later he delivers this little gem while wearing the biggest smile possible.
  Dante: (while hugging Hunter) I'm happy to see you! You made my nightmares come true!

  • And Hunter and Cuddles's reaction to him hugging Hunter's leg is pure gold, as though they are saying "What the heck is wrong with you?!"
• Dolly's reaction to Hunter's return, while not as hammy as Dante's, is pretty funny too.
  Dylan: Hunter really is back!
  Dolly: With surprisingly glossy hair.
• Hunter's first reaction to Dante (who keep in mind, is black with white and purple spots)
  Hunter: (inspecting Dante in his arms) You are a Dalmatian, right?
  Dante: (happily nods)
• While Dolly has a played straight showdown with Hunter, Dylan has his tail handed to him by Cuddles in a slapstick filled fashion.

Better the de Vil You Know

• Dizzy and Dee Dee both call Hunter "Mr. Funny Face" throughout the episode, until Mood Whiplash sets in.
  Hunter: I'm not funny!
• There's also the Dalmatian's hilarious Jaw Drop when Dylan tames Hunter by making him act like a dog again.
• Also, is no one going to point out when Hunter has his Evil Laugh moment... and the bus driver near him doesn't even hear him over the music?

The De Vil Wears Puppies

• Cruella's full reveal is pure Nightmare Fuel. But Dylan and Dolly's reaction? Hysterical.
• Hunter apathetically tossing Cuddles out a window is as funny as it is gratifying.
