Funny / Oggy and the Cockroaches

Go To

Everything can practically be funny in this show, and if we put all these instances in a single page, there would be way too many examples to list.


  • The laughing sounds in seasons 1 and 2 are downright infectious to listen to.
    • Oggy either has a loveable, stuttering laugh or a very wheezy, light laugh.
    • Jack has a deep, hearty belly laugh. Bob has the same, just in a lower pitch.
  • The ending of "The Patient". After putting Jack through utter hell while he's sick, the cockroaches end up frozen in an ice block with him. When Oggy gets them all inside, he gets out a three-pronged thermometer for the roaches and starts running towards them, and realizing what's about to happen to them, the roaches begin to scream in terror while the still-frozen Jack silently snickers at their impending suffering.
  • The cockroaches' reaction when they realize that Oggy can inflict bad luck on them when painted like a black cat in "Wrong Side of the Bed".
  • "Duck Soup": Jack being the epitome of Animals Hate Him in this episode:
    • Before the cats decide on duck with oranges, Jack decides that he and his cousin should have duck with honey, heading off to a field to grab a beehive. Unfortunately, a Jerkass bear was coveting it, so he retaliates by opening up the hatch in Jack's bee veil helmet. Cue a barrage of stinging that leaves his face swollen. That same bear literally reappears sproadically to kick him into orbit for accidentally taking his honey... twice.
    • When Oggy repels the ducks' takeover the first time by luring them out with a female windup toy (which the roaches used earlier to lure them into attacking the house), one lays an egg on Jack, which breaks on his face.
    • Unfortunately, Joey brings them back, this time armed with bombs, which repeatedly blow Jack up. Eventually, he finds himself hanging from Oggy's chandelier and manages to land a hit on a duck-piloting Dee Dee. Too bad the bombs they were carrying fall into his mouth and blow him up from the inside just as he's celebrating. Cue his bones, then his flesh, and finally his skin landing in place... and in a dismayed, disgruntled pose. Then Joey hands him a jar of honey...
    • Finally, after Oggy and the potential duck victim begin crying and begging for Jack to spare the latter, the green cat finally relents and angrily tosses him out. Cue the flock of ducks racing after their comrade so quickly that they rip a good portion of Jack's fur clean off. Jack promptly rips up the duck-cooking book in a rage.
    • Jack decides to just cut his losses and make scrambled eggs. But remember how Joey stirred up the angry duck mob to begin with? It's implied he did it again, only this time with a mob of chickens instead.
  • While "The Ghost-Hunter" might be terrifying, there is one scene where it manages to be amusing. Oggy is being chased by multiple ghosts (see Nightmare Fuel page) and tries to get out of the virtual world. The door handle keeps moving, but then the 3 ghosts turn into a TNT stick, putting it in Oggy's ass, and it cuts to outside Oggy's house, and we hear a huge, completely audible explosion. Cue the ghosts coming after him, right inside an Oggy shaped hole. Even better is the fact that Oggy's bottom is completely naked in the first few seconds of the next scene.
  • The entirety of the second half of "The Piggy Bank", with Oggy trying oh-so-hard to break open his piggy bank to quench his thirst after the roaches pull a nasty prank on him that leaves him in dire need of water (and cutting off his house's water supply for good measure). All he accomplishes is injuring and pissing Bob off thrice.
    • First, he uses a vice, but its force causes the piggy bank to fly out of the house and land smack in Bob's face while he's sitting on the toilet. Oggy, failing to see what he did, desperately signals for Bob to give it back. Bob obliges... by beating it into his face.
    • Next, Oggy uses a large buzzsaw to saw it open, but the piggy bank is too strong to be cut through, and the buzzsaw breaks. The blade bounces off... and crashes into Bob, shaving his top bald. Cue Bob beating him up again.
    • Then, Oggy puts his piggy bank on a set of train tracks, hoping for a train to hit and break it. Sure enough, one shows up, but it derails after hitting it and ends up barreling towards Bob's house, destroying a good chunk of it. Oggy promptly returns and, paying no mind to what he wrought upon Bob's house, begs for his help. Bob whips out a bazooka, to Oggy's joy. Too bad Bob didn't mention it was for him.
    • Finally, at his wits' end, Oggy sets up a massive rocket launcher, then places his piggy bank into position before opening fire. The rocket only manages to knock it down before flying off to Bob's house and crashing into the wall of his living room. Bob is startled by the random crashing noise, but before he can do more than growl at the giant lump in his wall, the rocket blows up, destroying the house and launching poor Bob into the air. And the roaches are laughing at him all the while.
  • "TV Obesession":
    • Oggy's Sanity Slippage when Joey and Marky lock his portable TV set in a large safe. Special mention goes to him hijacking Bob's car to try and ram it open... and paying for it when Bob comes over for a painful visit.
    • Just the fact that Jack of all people is the Only Sane Man in this episode, what with his bewildered reactions to Oggy's erratic behavior. Particularly, his "What the actual hell?" face when he sees Oggy, peeled like a banana thanks to him ticking off Bob again, erratically doing a Victory Dance, and him just slamming the attic door in the cockroaches' faces with a disgusted, done look.
    • At one point, the cockroaches hide in Oggy's attic. Oggy then runs to the door and furiously tries to get it open by energetically pulling and biting the handle as if it's locked. He then orders Jack to do it, all while bounding up and down and repeatedly kicking him in the back... All Jack does is calmly push the handle down and pull the door open.
  • In "Monster from the Mud Lagoon", one of the cockroaches' pranks to scare Oggy requires them to knock out a showering Jacknote  to dress him as a mummy. Do they use the wrench Marky and Dee Dee are holding to knock him out on the spot? Nope; Marky smashes his left foot with it just as he is stepping out and he knocks himself out with a Pain-Powered Leap smack into the bathroom ceiling.
  • Joey and Dee Dee fighting over a mollusk's hat in "Beachcombers". Poor Marky tries to mediate a solution by giving them a second hat... only for Joey and Dee Dee to throw away the one they had and start fighting over that. Marky's dismayed look sells it.
  • In the episode "Hide and Sick", the cockroaches point to an Oggy-looking fish inside an aquarium. Jack marks an X on its ass and injects it, but he sees Oggy tip-toeing outside the aquarium. The fish is not amused and beats him up. His face later on? Well, yeah...
    • In fact, aside from the above-mentioned run-in with the Oggy-like fish, Jack takes a whopping total of five beatings in this episode, four of them from Bob, as his attempts to inject Oggy somehow find themselves targeting the bulldog instead. Special mentions go to the first one, where Jack thinks Bob is after him for eating his food only to see the needle in Bob's hand and realize what's gonna happen, (with the remake giving him a hilarious This Is Gonna Suck face), and the last one, where Jack mistakes Bob for Oggy due to a combination of being blinded by the fish and Oggy tossing his Gag Nose away to avoid detection and giving him the injection.
    • At the end of the episode, Jack is bedridden after catching Oggy's sickness. Oggy comes home from the pharmacy carrying a bag of medicine and Jack, believing it to be an injection, freaks out like Oggy did at the beginning of the episode. Oggy is quick to clarify that the bag doesn't contain a syringe: it's a suppository. An eggplant-sized suppository.
  • Near the end of "Saturday Black Fever", Joey is using a magnifying glass to verify the authenticity of the banknote when he accidentally sets fire to it with the magnifying glass and a drop of oil lands on the fire, resulting in a huge explosion which destroys the entire house. This leaves Oggy to blame the roaches for it.
  • Oggy angrily bouncing after the cockroaches for stealing his nose in the beginning of "Paper Chase" for no particular reason. He later throws himself off the staircase after them just to get it back.
  • The sheer simplicity of the stilts gag in "Oggy's Puzzled". Oggy is attempting to fit the last puzzle piece into the middle of an impossibly large puzzle without stepping on it, so he attempts to do this by walking on a pair of stilts. There is no music during this scene, only the sound of Oggy walking around and making slight noises as he wobbles. Try as he might, he just can't find the right angle. Several seconds of unsuccessful stumbling around later, he loses balance, careens offscreen, then we hear an almighty yowl and a loud crash. Sometimes less is more.
  • "Sitcom". After watching a sitcom, the cockroaches try to trick Oggy by using a device which can play a laugh track. Later, Oggy ends up swallowing the device whole while Jack and Monica are arguing. However the cockroaches still have a remote which can trigger the device. At the end, though, Oggy regurgitates the device and it ends up in Jack's stomach!
  • In "Boxing Fever", Oggy is framed for attacking and humiliating Bob while the latter was having a game of Bowls, resulting in them both challenging each other to a duel by Glove Slapping each other. Oggy then reaches offscreen and pulls back increasingly dangerous weapons to propose how they go about doing it, going from a popgun game to epees, then giant swords and finally rocket launchers. Bob rejects every one with a simple head shake and disapproving "hmmmmm.", all with a glove in his mouth, until he stops Oggy and decides on boxing.
  • "Night Watchmen" ends with Jack successfully pulling an Epic Fail. After Oggy manages to nab and bury cockroaches, he (literally) kicks Jack into gear for his nightshift. In a span of about 10 seconds, still half-asleep, Jack mistakes a nearby canister full of toxins for milk to pour into coffee. Cue explosion that reduces Earth to a charred half-eaten apple. Not long after, the cockroaches unearth themselves among burnt Jack and Oggy, marvel at the destruction and sincerely give the two chumps thumbs up.
  • Santa's reaction to the large rectal thermometer Oggy sadly whips out to take his temperature with in "Santa Oggy". Yes, even Santa Claus is afraid of the dreaded Thermometer Gag.
  • The roaches spend the entirety of "Inside Out" fooling around with a witch's lost magical telescope (which can shrink and enlarge stuff depending on how you hold it), shrinking down and bullying Oggy and Jack with it after enlarging themselves to Oggy's size, and taking over the household. Once the trio get in a fight that culminates in all of them growing into space, the witch appears and scolds them... with a hilarious Vocal Dissonance before turning them back to normal.
    • With the element of size gone, and the still-shrunken Oggy and Jack ready for revenge, the cockroaches gear up for a fight. Unfortunately, the witch restores the cats back to normal size, and the Terrible Trio take one look at the nasty Death Glares the cats are giving them before legging it in an absolutely side-splitting way. Unfortunately, they run into Bob (another victim of their rampage), who is also returned to normal. Painful stomping ensues.
  • In "The Mini-Golf War", Jack tries to blow up the oblivious cockroaches with a grenade during the carnival level of their mini-golf game, but Joey throws it smack into Bob's house instead, reducing it to nearly nothing. In retaliation, Bob calmly walks over to Oggy's house, floors Jack in one hit, and turns tail and leaves in a simple yet hilarious display of Tranquil Fury.
  • In the episode "Olivia", while Oggy is distracted by the titular new character, the roaches sneak up and smash his tail with a wooden mallet... only for Oggy to not feel it at all. In confusion, they whack his tail a few more times before Joey takes the mallet and tests the weapon on Marky and Dee Dee. They assure Joey it works, much to Joey's continuing befuddlement!
  • There's a bit of Black Comedy in "Olivia's Pimple", where Marky, after getting tossed into the blender by Oggy, meets Dee Dee, who is just casually sitting back and glaring grimly at him, as if to say: "You too, huh?".
