The Show
  • "Pet Project' begins with a glimpse at Pretty Boy, Mr. Jolly and Spot's dreams, which are all pretty absurd. Pretty Boy dreams that he's getting married, only to ditch his bride to peck at a seed bell. Mr. Jolly dreams that a mouse is preparing to swim in his food bowl while he looks on and drools in hunger. Spot dreams that he's on an island and gestures for the fleas on his body to leave him and march into the sea.
  • Mixed with awesomeness, when Principal Strickler gets upset at Mrs. Helperman because she's trying to incorporate as many other religions in their old school play in the episode "A Dog For All Seasons", Mrs. Helperman (Who is usually held back from getting too upset) ends up going on her own rant against Principal Strickler about how times change and how there needs to be updates in their old Christmas play, but still withholding back as much anger as possible while making her point. Strickler is left in awe after this.
    Principal Strickler: (Surprised) You don't have to yell at me...
  • In The Flipper, Leonard has become the best card flipper in school thanks to Scott's training and has not only won all the cards of his classmates but also has beaten the former card flipping champion, Principal Strickler with such an amazingly talented shot that nobody believes it was planned. The others try to persuade Scott to play against Leonard in hopes of getting their card back, but Scott refuses, admitting that he himself has been upped by Leonard despite refusing to believe that he planned that feat as well. Leonard, partly from bitterness at Scott for putting down his achievement publicly, soon proves that while he may have great skill in flipping cards, insulting... not so much.
    Leonard: Scott's scared! Scott's a chicken! Quack Quack Quack!
    Scott: (Flatly) Uh, that's a duck sound, but we get your point.
  • In the Thanksgiving Episode "The Turkey That Came to Dinner", there’s the Running Gag of Mr. Jolly being unable to say the word "linoleum". At one point he literally ties his tongue into a knot trying to say it. Later, he discovers that he actually can say it in foreign dialects (French, German, and Italian), and then tries saying it in English again, but fails epically.
    Jolly: I flew too close to the sun.
    • Leonard promises the pets that he'll always check on them every two minutes, but immediately forgets when he sees that Grandma Rose has brought him a present.
  • "Attack of the 50-Inch Girl".
    • Spot's response to Fred saying that she likes dogs and dogs like her.
    Spot: Yeah, I bet they like to stick their canine teeth right into your—
    • At the end of the episode, Fred Bitters reacts to Leonard and Scott's offer to be her first real friends by running away and screaming. Scott simply states that they're off to a good start.
  • In "The Blight Before Christmas", one of the people Leonard talks to on the phone about having a turn playing the Mach III Game Command system he hopes to get turns out to be Principal Strickler.
  • Leonard defying Scott's playground rules in "Rule of Paw":
    Leonard: Look! I'm skipping a step!
    Scott: You fool! You'll kill us all!
    • "Then you leave me with even less choice than when I said I had no other choice!"
  • Pretty Boy's reaction when he sees Mr. Jolly's online password:
    Pretty Boy: "Pretty kitty"? That's your password? You gotta be kiddin' me! "Pretty repulsive kitty" is more like it.
  • From the first episode, when Leonard sees Spot's dog tag on around Scott's neck.
    Leonard: What did you do to my dog!?
    Scott: Um...I am your dog.
    (cue scream and Eye Pop)

The Movie

  • In the beginning of The Movie, Spot is watching Disney's Pinocchio when the Blue Fairy comes right out of the TV to grant him his wish. Then she starts hitting him with her wand.
    Spot: OW!! You're hurting me, dear Blue Fairy!
    Blue Fairy: (In Pretty Boy's voice) I AIN'T NO FAIRY! (Image changes to Pretty Boy) And it's time to get up!
  • Scott dresses up like his "mom", "sister", "grandma", and "uncle" to convince Mary Lou to take him to Florida with her and Leonard.
    "Grandma Leadready": Young lady, I missed my chance to go to Florida when I was the boy's age. And look at what a bitter old woman it turned me into!
    Mary Lou: Oh you must be Scott's gran-
    "Grandma Leadready": I CAN'T TALK TO YOU I'M TOO BITTER!
    • Leonard eventually gets roped into assisting in the charade by pretending to be Uncle Jojo's ventriloquist dummy Floyd.
    "Floyd": Top o' the morning to ya!
    "Uncle Jojo": Hey, I'm the one speaking in the cliched Irish dialogue here!
  • Scott and Leonard witnessing Dr. Ivan Krank's latest attempt at turning an animal human by testing his transformation ray on a frog.
    Dr. Ivan Krank: I have taken a frog and made it—
    Frog: [with no visible differences from before the ray was used on him] Moo.
  • Dr. Krank prevents Leonard and the transformed Scott from escaping by activating a wall that surrounds them, which is triggered by pulling a lever labelled "The big lever's ugly sister".
  • The Mood Whiplash of Dr. Krank angrily ordering his nephew Ian to get off the phone...because he wants to order a pizza.
