* HostageSituation: In '"'Hostage Havoc''", fugitive prisoner Stinky Bill takes the Daltons hostage to force the staff into letting him go. HilarityEnsues as the situation escalates and negotations fail miserably.

* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: The Daltons never DO manage to escape from prison (at least, never for very long). Therefore unlike the comics and the episodes featuring a certain cowboy's adventures, the whole plot always occurs around the prison's perimeter.

* ThoseTwoGuys: The two prison guards, Pete and Emmett. Besides being the main duo who go after the Daltons when they escape, they seldom play much of a role in the plots , but they occasionally play GreekChorus or have a SeinfeldianConversation on the sidelines while the Daltons hatch their latest scheme.

''The Daltons'' (''Les Dalton'' in French) is a French animated series produced by Creator/{{Xilam}} that aired between 2010 and 2015. It has a similar animation style to the film ''WesternAnimation/GoWestALuckyLukeAdventure'', also made by Xilam.

The show focuses on the Daltons of ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke'' fame as they repeatedly try (and fail) to escape from prison, all the while surrounded by a colourful cast of characters -- most notably the blustery but surprisingly shrewd warden Melvin Peabody, the sunny and sweet-natured prison librarian Miss Betty... and of course [[BreakoutCharacter Rintindumb]], the most inept guard dog in the West.
