* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Dhokla stops paying attention to Samosa and his other friends after he's taken on the identity of Doctor D, being more concerned with his fans, music, and concerts. This is reversed by the end of the episode when Samosa, Jalebi, and Vada finally get to him and convince him there's no hard feelings.

* IdiotBall: Samosa, Jalebi, and Vada don't even consider politely asking Dhokla (their best friend!) to stop spamming messages at them, instead outright blocking him and triggering the episode's main plot. Even Samosa, jerkishness aside, typically wouldn't be ''that'' cruel to anyone besides his arch-rival Cham Cham.

* GratuitousEnglish: The "dost" SpellingSong uses words that are all in English to spell out the word in question ("Dhokla", "omelet", "special", and "tasty"). All of the other dubs except for the English dub retain these English lyrics; the English dub changes the song so they outright spell "friends" instead.
* LostInTranslation: Or some variant of it. The SpellingSong Samosa and the others sing to Dhokla retains the "DOST" that appears on-screen in the English dub despite said dub changing the song to spell "friends" instead, thus creating an inconsistency since only the audio track is changed. The Tamil and Telugu dubs keep the song as it was in the Hindi version, thus averting the trope.

* FriendshipSong: Samosa, Jalebi, and Vada sing a short one to Dhokla that doubles as a SpellingSong.
-->'''Samosa:''' F for forever, R for relations!

-->'''Samosa:''' S is for special!

1. This example seems to fit better under Lets Meet The Meat. 2. This seems to be a more general trope applying to the series as a whole anyway, as far as I can tell.


* SapientEatSapient: Implied at the beginning of the episode, where some sentient foods pack themselves into the suitcase Dhokla is taking for his visit abroad.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Not sure if this actually counts as an example, since the trope seems to be about characters overreacting to a perceived problem and not noticing the absurdities constantly going on around them (say, for example, a character didn't react that much to having a mermaid, fairy, or similar creature as a girlfriend but did overreact to having a pimple. That would fall under the trope).


* LawOfDisproportionateResponse: All the Mayor does when he first takes up the Doctor M alias is to post a video of himself saying he's wearing a seatbelt, and yet the townsfolk react to this like it's a really cool thing and almost immediately scramble to go find him, ignoring Doctor D in the process.

"Doctor D" is the 16th episode of the Indian animated series ''Animation/SimpleSamosa''.

Dhokla's friends are visiting as he's packing for a trip to another country, and before he heads off to the airport Samosa gives him his lucky sunglasses, Jalebi gives him a scarf, and Vada gives him a glove, all as goodbye gifts to him. Samosa, Jalebi, and Vada follow him to the airport to bid him farewell, and upon entering the plane Dhokla starts to post some updates on his social media about what he's seeing on his trip.

However, Dhokla starts to spam his messages about his visit to such a degree that Samosa, Jalebi, and Vada start to get fed up. After having to endure a sleepless night caused by the constant notification sounds on their phones, they decide to block Dhokla just as he's about to show them a picture he took on the Eiffel Tower.

When Dhokla comes back, he has become a celebrity by the name of Doctor D, and he ignores Samosa and the others due to them having blocked him. While walking through town, Samosa, Jalebi, and Vada notice a crowd of people running past them, and Samosa asks Cham Cham, who is among the crowd, what's going on. Cham Cham responds by saying they're going to see Doctor D's live performance; after he says this, Vada notices a sign for said performance, and we're treated to a rap video Dhokla has uploaded online under his Doctor D alias. Samosa and friends decide to go find him at the performance.

Then, they exchange apologies for what they've done.

The next day, Samosa and friends drop their phones into the lake, to keep their social media from getting the best of them. This doesn't last long; they almost immediately grab their phones back and make sure they're okay, and they're happy to find a Doctor M rap video on their phones. The episode ends with a clip of Doctor M singing this rap song.
