Funny / Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat

Go To

  • Sagwa pointing out why Fu-Fu's glasses are slightly cracked in "Sagwa's Lucky Bat".
    Sagwa: So, what happened to your glasses?
    Fu-Fu: Huh?
    (Sagwa points to the glasses, with Fu-Fu's eyes moving towards the sound of a slide whistle)
  • "Fur Cut":
    • The opening when Baba tells Mama that he send Sagwa to deliver the scroll, only to hear that she'll groom him next.
    Baba: Oh, no need dear. I've-I've already attended to my grooming.
    (zooms out on Baba's messy back, with Sheegwa laughing)
    • Dongwa interrupting Sagwa's story, pointing out certain flaws on how it happened (eg. How she came so quick from the far mountains and back, meeting a rain spirit dragon that spits out fire)
    Dongwa: What? Rain spirit dragons don't spit fire.
    Sagwa: Well- well this one did!
  • "Sagwa's Swan Song":
    • Tai-Tai's disappointment on the anniversary gifts, with the last gift being a back scratcher.
      • The first gift was a goldfish, apparently the only thing ever sent to them by that particular acquaintance every year.
    • Dongwa is not pleased that he gave up his snack for their grandparents' anniversary special
    Sagwa: What a disaster...
  • The entire story of "The Magistrate's New Clothes", where the two con men convince the people of the palace that only the "foolish" can't see the supposedly-invisible robes they've prepared for the Magistrate. The fact that they are actually implied to have successfully pulled this nonsensical scam many times before is too absurd not to laugh at. As is everyone not simply listening to their better senses and realizing there's literally nothing on the loom. Fools, indeed.
    • The real topper though? It takes a picture of the Magistrate in his nightgown drawn by Sagwa to make them see the truth.
    • All that being said, it's hilariously ironic how foolish everyone in the palace truly was not for their failure to see the cloth, but for failing to recognize the obvious ruse.
  • In "The Foolish Magistrate's Aching Tooth", Dongwa states that he'll protect his sister from the porcupine. But after Sagwa gets a quill from Hau-Ju (the porcupine), Dongwa gets himself slightly mortified and Hau-Ju gives him a good scare.
  • Dongwa had some funny moments in "Panda-mounium". This included:
    • Stating that it'll take more than little storm to scare him, only for the lighting to make him hide under the covers.
    • Gloating that he'll use his kung fu to attack the monster, but backs away when it starts growling.
    • Persuading Fu-Fu to go into Tai-Tai's room to catch the bear.
    Fu-Fu: Me?! You go after him!
    Dongwa: Oh no, you go. I'll wait here so I can pounce on him when he comes out.
    (headbutts Fu-Fu towards the room)
    Dongwa: (laughing slyly) Works every time...
    • Suggesting they should catch something scarier towards the end, only for the other three to knock it off.
  • The silkworms the kittens were observing in "The Birds, the Bees, and the Silkworms".
  • "In my bed, took a nap".
  • "Tough Guy Dongwa":
    • The kittens playing tea party with the three daughters.
    • Sheegwa is trying desperately to make Sagwa's hiccups stop, with each method less effective than the last. Finally it ends when Sagwa laughs at the alley cats and Dongwa dressed up in Ba-Do's dolls' dresses.
  • The majority of "The Four Dragons".
  • The Magistrate eating a soiled pastry at the end of "Dongwa the Sailor".
  • "All Grown Up":
    • The part when Baba does a duck call.
    Baba: (takes a piece of grass) It's a duck call. (quacks)
    (A real duck shows up, with Dongwa getting startled and hangs onto Sagwa)
  • The wedding mess scene in "Wedding Day Mess", leading Tai-Tai to call the felines out for making the mess.
  • Tai-Tai telling her bird to be useful for a change.
  • The majority of "Spreading Rumors".
  • "No rules, no race!" in "The Favorite". Earlier in the same cameo, when Sagwa plays catch fish, Fu-Fu's cameo, Dongwa falling in the sea, the "Silly cats" part and Sagwa asking why the birds have ropes on their necks.
  • Tai-Tai waking her daughters up to go bat hunting after Fu-Fu escapes in "Luck Be A Bat".
    • Earlier in the same episode:
    Sagwa: Can't you fit through the bars?
    Fu-Fu: (opens robe, reveals Balloon Belly) Nah, too many dumplings.
  • All of the Foolish Magistrate's pranks along with those of Magistrate Wong during the calligraphy contest in which Sagwa and Wong's daughter are both participating. It's shown that these two have been messing with each other at this event for many years as part of a Friendly Rivalry.
    • Magistrate Wong is absolutely floored when he realizes his friend's calligraphers are indeed cats, after being presented a roll of Sagwa's handiwork.
    • After all the ruckus the two caused with their pranks, we learn at the end that the winner of the contest has been the reigning champion for sixty-three years and is only now finally retiring. The fact that anybody made any effort to attend this competition at all with this in mind is truly remarkable.
  • The rat tricking Sheegwa into stealing Ba-Do's cookie in "The Return of the Rat" in return for helping her win a game she and her siblings were playing. After all the effort he went through to get the cookie, he is aghast to find out that the thing is actually made of clay.
    Sheegwa: I tried to tell you! It's not a real cookie. Ba-Do made it out of clay.
    Rat: CLAY?! Is that one of the food groups?!
    • Especially laughable is the fact that this cookie was made for a contest where the objective was to create fake cookies to be judged by a visiting official. Ba-Do is implied to win due to the rat's teeth marks having made it appear more realistic. The very notion of this much preparation going into fake, clay cookies to be judged upon across the province is ridiculous in and of itself.
  • In one episode the Magistrate is to receive a critically important message from the Emperor, and Tai-Tai proclaims that a spectacular banquet is to be prepared for the messenger who's coming to deliver it. She gathers "all" of her servants to prepare for the task at hand......As in all two of them, the Reader and the Cook.
    • Especially funny when you consider the only other servants ever seen in the palace were the palanquin bearers. Otherwise it's just two men who are relied on to keep the place afloat.
    • And after all of that hooplah, Tai-Tai is mortified when the messenger arrives before she has time to prepare anything. What does the messenger do? Deliver his message and then leave as quickly as he came. Tai-Tai is quite dumbfounded at how absolutely mundane that meeting proves to be.
  • The entirety of "Princess Sheegwa", which runs firmly on Sheegwa supposedly having a star-shaped birthmark that granted her authority as a princess, and the legend apparently made zero distinction on who or what could be granted such power through said mark. Although the plot becomes rather somber as Sheegwa is unable to spend time with her family, it is still ridiculous that everyone, including her own parents expect someone as young as her to exercise or even understand the enormity of her role.
    • Even more ridiculous is the power and fame that both the Magistrate and Tai-Tai expect to receive for their chance discovery, and fully intend to exploit Sheegwa's new status when she is to be presented to the entire country.
    • The real kicker though comes at the end when the birthmark is revealed to be nothing more than dirt after Sheegwa is forced to receive a bath. Everyone immediately stops showering her with the absurdly lavish royal treatment and the Magistrate nearly has a total breakdown as he frets over what is sure to be a very awkward meeting with the incoming dignitaries.
