Line 3:
** Quite a few fans believe he has Asperger's Syndrome, or something similar.
* [[Base Breaker]]: Dee-Dee is seen as either a good foil to Dexter or an annoying pest. It helps that she suffers from [[Depending on the Writer]].
** Mandark is either a [[Magnificent Bastard]], a [[Smug Snake]], or completely unnecessary to the show.
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: The part of "Continuum of Cartoon Fools" where Dexter holds a stopwatch while periodically saying '[http://baaaawt.ytmnd.com/ BAAAAWT]'.
** Actually if you ever did timing scripts for animation dialogue you know exactly what he's doing, [[Word of God]] says that he was timing a storyboard [[Recursive Reality|of the cartoon itself]], yet indeed, there was no other reason to put it besides [[Rule of Funny|it was funny]].
** "Computer, make me a sandwich!"
Line 11:
* [[Cargo Ship]]: Dexter ''really'' loves his computer. And the feeling's ''mutual''.
* [[Crossover Ship]]: Pairing up Dexter and [[The Powerpuff Girls|Blossom]] is surprisingly popular.
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: The ending of [[BLAMNon Sequitur Scene Episode|"Dee Dee's Tail".]]
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Not too many cartoons can pull off ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5sI-qlQovE ten minutes]'' worth of music and singing.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8g4tuS_etVq0m I got a secret...secret... for-mu-la...]
Line 36:
* [[Genius Bonus]]: A lot of gags on the show are science references, some of which are fairly obscure.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: [[Show Within a Show|Pony Puff Princess]]. Currently hilarious by the fact that Lauren Faust, wife of [[Powerpuff Girls]] creator [[Craig McCracken]], went on to develop ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''.
** Becomes a [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]], if you watch the episode where [[Makes Sense in Context|the ponies try to kill Dee Dee]] AFTER you already heard of [[Cupcakes (Fanfic)|Cupcakes]].
* [[Idiot Plot]]: The episode "Sis-Tem Error" has Dee Dee accidentally shutting off the lab's power and spending the rest of the episode tricking Dexter into thinking nothing is wrong by disguising herself [[Paper-Thin Disguise|badly]] as Computer, Robot and Mandark.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Mandark tried to be one before [[Villain Decay]] set in.
Line 46:
** "Dexter's a cookie!"
* [[Periphery Demographic]]: Lots of teenagers and adults love this show.
* [[Seasonal Rot]]: The two seasons made [[Executive Meddling|without Genndy Tartakovsky]] after the show was [[Un CancelledUncancelled]] due to boring plots, ungodly amounts of [[Flanderization]], and a really unfitting art style. Plus, they got rid of the Justice Friends and Dial M for Monkey segments. Instead, these new seasons were run by Chris Savino, and that's when things started to go downhill.
* [[Self Fanservice]]: Dexter and Mandark get a lot of this in fan-art.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: The wacky and fun episode of Dexter having to deal with Deedee's imaginary friend hanging out with him ends with {{spoiler|Dexter wishing away the imaginary friend, and commanding him to never come back again. And he does. Deedee runs away sobbing.}} Then it fades to credits.
