Given that comedy is one of the main subgenres of this franchise, there are many examples of gags here, obvious or not at all. Here are just a few of them.
- Lian-Chu's knitting is a Running Gag throughout the series; when he's bitten by a Dragontagious at one point, he turns into a dragon, tears the fleece off the back of sheep, roars atop the mountain of wool, and takes out his needles to knit.
- Another Running Gag in various variations refers to Hector's artistry. Whenever he tries to copy the behavior of other dragons, including his pig-headed giant cousin, or humans, it looks ridiculously pathetic or at least very funny.
- Gwizdo explaining to Zaza the meaning of tragedy while Lian-Chu swings wildly about in the background in "The Name is Dragon".
- Gwizdo grumbling about Hector ditching him in "It's A Dragon's Life".Gwizdo: 7AM on the button. I'm tellin' ya, punctuality is goin' to the dogs.
- In "The Strange Taste of the Cocomak", Lian-Chu flees the dragon while carrying Gwizdo under his shoulder.Gwizdo: Now I know what it feels like to be a football.
- After the dragon sends Gwizdo crashing into the ground, Gwizdo mutters, "This really isn't my day."
- Once Lian-Chu has defeated the dragon, he and Hector go to Gwizdo, who is sitting on the ground, clutching the contract.
Lian-Chu: What's wrong, Gwizdo? Is the contract that bad?Gwizdo: (voice shrinking) On the contrary. It's the most beautiful contract I've ever seen and it's gonna make us rich.Lian-Chu: So, you're feeling better, then?(Gwizdo's face morphs into an ugly gurn, his eyes brimming with tears)Gwizdo: On the contrary. I've never felt so awful in my life. You can even negotiate better contracts that I can.(He bursts out sobbing and buries his face in the contract)Gwizdo: I'm such a loser! - Gwizdo getting increasingly irritated with Lian-Chu talking to him in the middle of the night in "Who's Lost Their Head Now?" Rick Jones' performance sells it.
- When Lian-Chu tells Noble Kao that the dragon spoke to him, Gwizdo makes a "crazy in the head" sign, causing Zaza to elbow him in the gut.
- In "The Isle of Mist", Lian-Chu tells Gwizdo he has a heart of gold. Cue an Aside Glance and a look of "Have you met me?" from Gwizdo.
- In "The Conjunction of the Three Moons", Gwizdo goes to a client pretending not to be himself, and then introduces himself in the flashiest, most showman-like manner possible.Client: You said you barely knew him.Gwizdo: Does one ever truly know oneself?
- The French version has a funny moment after Gwizdo and Hector fail to summon the dragon:
Gwizdo: Oh, forget it, Hector. I think that thing won't show up anyway. We'll probably have to stay in this village until dawn. You know, there's only one thing left. (Smash cut to them sleeping in Gwizdo's quarters)- When he and Zaza are searching for Lian-Chu, Gwizdo mentions that dragon hunters don't whine about their misfortune. Zaza points out that Gwizdo whines all the time.
- In "Don't Look Now", Hector mischievously tickles a dozing Gwizdo's nose. As we know, on top of disliking Hector, Gwizdo is Not a Morning Person.Gwizdo: Stop it, Hector! I was trying to take a nap. You want me to SHOVE THAT STUPID FEATHER DOWN YOUR THROAT?!
- "Didn't I say this place was the pits?"
- Jeanneline calling Gwizdo's love interest "some young golddigger" in "Baby-Love, Oh Baby-Love!". She was literally digging for gold.
- In "It's a Dragon's Life", Gwizdo blames the absent Hector on crashing the St. George into a swamp.Gwizdo: You just wait and see if I don't dock his next paycheck!Lian-Chu: He's never had a paycheck, Gwizdo.
- In "Unwelcome Guests", Gwizdo sees a rich suitor chatting up Jeanneline.Gwizdo: We're not married yet and she's already cheatin' on me!
- In "For a Few Veggies More", Chief Big Beard catches Gwizdo and Lian-Chu scaling down a Bedsheet Ladder. Gwizdo gets to the bottom first and neither of them notice the dwarf. Chief Big Beard asks "Where are you going?" Gwizdo yelps and jumps a mile.
- In "The Return of Roger", Gwizdo hands a crying client one of his posters. The client proceeds to blow his nose on it.
- Gwizdo: "You know the old saying: A dragon hunter in time saves nine? Or ten, or, or... whatever?"
- When Gwizdo suspects that "Roger" just wants to mooch off of Jennyline by staying in her beds and eating her cooking, Jennyline snarks, "Kind of like you guys."
- In the movie, Gwizdo tries to escape the "Red Swarm", a flock of tiny creatures that are a mix between bat, toad and(in their eating habits)piranha. They are all distracted shredding the pot he was trying to hide in, which he was able to sneak out of. He unlocks the door to the barn and freezes as it creaks very audibly and he looks back. The Red Swarm are now ALL staring at him with a bug eyed expression...then they fly at him again.
- An ad for the DVDs (shown in the novelizations) has Gwizdo trying to direct Lian-Chu's attention to a stack of DVDs. Lian-Chu is ignoring him and knitting while Hector is laughing hysterically on top of the stack.
