Behold the memes of Dexter's Laboratory!
- Make 'em say OHHHHH! OHHHHH! Na, na, nana, na, nanana...
- Dexter's parrot's quotes from "The Parrot Trap" have often been parroted on the Internet just for the fun of it, or in any discussions involving the show. Below are the most oft-repeated quotes:
- "DEXTER'S SECRET! DEXTER'S SECRET! DEXTER'S SECRET! DEXTER'S SECRET!" Explanation Dexter's mechanical parrot gets loose in his house and he's worried it'll spoil the existence of his laboratory.
- "Dexter's a cookie!" Explanation The parrot mixes up praise for its creator with Dee Dee's love for baked goods.
- "Yup, that's a big'un! Yup, yup, that's a big'un from the Florida Everglades!" Explanation Dexter's dad is watching a fishing show on TV.
- Ooooh, what does THIS button do? Explanation Dee Dee's incorrigible ability for destructive curiosity is the standard by which all others are judged. This has become one of the most famous instances of the "What Does This Button Do?" trope, and has seen varying degrees of parody.
- DEE DEE! GET OUT OF MY LABORAT*kaboom* Explanation The usual aftermath of Dee Dee's famous phrase above is for Dexter to yell at her to get out of her laboratory before a button-induced explosion occurs. As a meme, it's typically used in conjunction with the above quote whenever it is said.
- "I'M GONNA BOP YOU ONE!!!"
- "OMELETTE DU FROMAGE!" Explanation Dexter, trying to use Sleep Learning to learn French, accidentally brainwashes himself so all he can say is "omelette du fromage". This phrase somehow caught on, probably due to being constantly repeated throughout the episode, which made it a popular phrase to use in image macros.
- "THAT'S ALL YOU CAN SAY! THAT'S ALL YOU CAN SAY! THAT'S ALL YOU CAN SAY!"Explanation Dee-Dee takes notice of Dexter's newfound verbal quirk and torments him throughout the episode. Usually used as a reaction image or GIF in response to a phrase that keeps being repeated again and again.
- "Say it again, Dexter..."Explanation Everything Sounds Sexier in French, and the nearby female classmates take notice. Naturally, edits were made in a similar vein to "Say the line, Bart!".
- "I love your accent, say it again!" Explanation A variant of the above meme where Dexter, after being told the line by one of the girls, says something in a different accent for comedic effect. This version spread on Twitter, and a lot of versions feature Dexter saying "hood" slang.
- "Heellooo dear brother, what have you got there?" Explanation One of Dexter and Dee Dee's exchanges in the Musical Episode.
- "Nothing! NOTHING! You only see AIR!"
- "Doooooon't be silly! I love you very much!" *bum ba dum ba dum ba dum CRASH* "I guess I shouldn't touch!"
- "I see she'll ruin everything she sees in front of her. I'll have to move my studies so they'll be much safer!"
- "HA-HA-HA, HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! Explanation Mandark's laugh is awesome in its patheticness.

- BWAAAAAAWT *scribblescribblescribble* BWAAAAAAT *scribblescribble* BWAAAATBWAAAAT
- You are stupid! You are stupid! And don't forget: You are stupid! Explanation The ending of "Dexter and Computress get Mandark!", where Dexter reprimands Computress after Mandark's head blows up. Memorable for its repetitiveness, or used as a way to call someone stupid.

One of the rats, Pedro only responded with this. And at the very end of the episode, after Dexter and Dee Dee escape from the Corrupt Corporate Executive who kidnaps Dexter for his inventions and he vows revenge, Pedro pops up to utter the line again inexplicably.
- I PULLED THE RELEASE ON MY LASER GUN!Explanation In the episode "Ay Ay Eyes" Dexter gains an Abhorrent Admirer Stalker with a Crush that follows him throughout the episode. He frantically searches his lab for his laser gun before the girl finds him in the lab, and makes him be her boyfriend under the threat of revealing his secret lab. One musical montage later, and Dexter is shown happy. When Dee Dee asks why Dexter responds by shouting this, brandishing the gun with a crazed expression.
- I Have Failed YouExplanation In "Dexter's Rival" Mandark makes his debut by effortlessly showing up Dexter on the first day of school in front of his teachers. In response, Dexter runs to his locker, and says this tearfully to a picture of Einstein. Cue the replacement of Einstein's picture as well as Dexter as needed for the meme. Einstein's picture is usually replaced with someone held in high regard, but can also be replaced in an ironic sense.
