* GlitchEpisode: This show sometimes has these with the electronic LivingToys:
** In "Li'l Egghead Feels the Heat", Egghead the trivia toy begins saying random words and phrases instead of what he intends to say. Doc discovers that it's because he's too hot.
** In "A Good Case of the Hiccups", Millie the sentient microphone keeps repeating words, which other characters liken to [[HiccupHijinks the hiccups]].
** Subverted in one episode, where it seems like Ricardo the remote controlled toy racecar is broken, but actually he just needs to charge.

* GuiltInducedNightmare: A variation in "It's a Hard Doc Life". After Doc indirectly causes a flood in the toy hospital, she starts to feel remorseful and inadequate as a doctor. [[ItsAWonderfulPlot She dreams about Hallie showing her that life would not have been better without her]]; several toys would not have been fixed, [=McStuffinsville=] would have been a wasteland taken over by Stanley, Stuffy would be forced to work in a tower, Chilly would live in a freezing tundra, and Lambie would perform in an empty theater. Doc realizes that her toys ''do'' need her, and by the time she wakes up, she's ready to help again.

In each episode, the eponymous Doc uses her magic stethoscope to bring toys to life and then diagnoses and heals a sick or damaged toy. With its complex characters and willingness to buck the general format of similar shows currently on the air, the program has been [[http://www.fastcocreate.com/1680182/how-the-creator-of-doc-mcstuffins-bucked-the-norm-and-made-cheers-for-preschoolers described]] as "''Series/{{Cheers}}'' for prechoolers" and has amassed a sizeable audience.

* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Downplayed example with Florence Nightingale's toys. Doc's toys are absolutely horrified to find out that they've been broken/damaged for months but as Florence and her toys point out, Florence had no idea how to repair them before Doc came along and she didn't have access to anyone who could help either so they had accepted that being broken was their new lot in life.
