Shortly after Ben suggests they could wait there until he gets back (earning a DopeSlap for his trouble), TheCavalry arrives: Dr Dinosaur, driving a hovertruck, while singing a mangled version of "Lookin' Out My Back Door" by Music/CreedenceClearwaterRevival, and wearing a ridiculous set of purple shades.

For bonus points, he's got a towel piled up on his head like he's just washed his hair...even though, as a ''Film/JurassicPark''-styled dinosaur, he doesn't have any.

* The ending of "The Savage Sword of Doctor Dinosaur" which ends with [[spoiler: Robo trapped back in 1870, is hilarious because it inadvertently proves that Doctor Dinosaur's origin of using crystals to travel back in time may be somewhat accurate as well as Robo's belief that time travel is impossible incorrect. In short, the crazy, scientifically-impossible, talking dinosaur was right and the super smart super robot was wrong.]]

In short, the crazy, scientifically-impossible, talking dinosaur was right and the super smart super robot was wrong. To make it even funnier, back in the present, the other action scientists use zorth interactions as they're putting together what happened, meaning that the crazy, scientifically-impossible talking dinosaur ended up being right ''because of Robo's own theory''.]]
