This was Lampshaded in an instance the two switch places, and Daggett (supposedly) avoids an [[AmusingInjuries Amusing Injury]] as a result. Granted on many other occasions Norb is an even bigger ButtMonkey than Dag is.

* ThrowItIn: Pretty much most of the dialogue. Although there were scripts, Mitch Schauer provided a relaxed environment for the voice actors, which enabled Nick Bakay and Richard Horvitz to ad-lib and talk over one another. It eventually became the norm, which got Mitch into the habit of informing other voice actors of the duo's improvisational habits.

* HoYay: A lot of people probably hate the idea, but in the first season especially, Norb and Dag were actually really close, and Norb had a tendency to call Dag 'handsome' and even 'baby' once, while Dag was repulsed by the idea of having a girlfriend and got really jealous when anyone took Norb's attention away from him.
--> '''Dag(gasping):''' "What have I done?! I suddenly realize I was only ''mad'' at Norb, because I was afraid of losing his affection..! Oh, what a fool I was!"
** And for that matter, one can't seem to live without the other around, as seen in ''Tree's Company''. Why ''did'' they continue living together when they left home anyway? It's not like they had to pay for a place together.
** 'Dag + Norb 4 Ever' is carved into the back of Stump.
** Either makes more sense or more disturbing, when you consider the two are ''[[IncestSubtext brothers]]''.
