• Accidental Innuendo: "We have to pull Benny out before the Gooey Geyser goes ker-sploosh!"
  • What about "We can do it!/We did it!"?
• Alternate Character Interpretation: A number of Facebook groups have sprung up promoting the theory that Dora is an illegal immigrant and Swiper is a Customs Officer.
• Continuity Porn: The "Dora's Birthday" special.
• Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Being a kid's show, there's bound to be gushing quantities scattered around here or there. However, the end of Christmas Carol deserves special mention. When Swiper fails at filling in his card and doesn't receive a gift, you can see his lip quivering at one point. The hug Dora gives him, and the entire scene after that, will likely give you a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Which you'll probably pass off as heartburn, but still, it's heartburn that feels good.
• Ear Worm: Coupled with its constant repetition of everything, it's really only a matter of time.
• Family-Unfriendly Aesop: It's okay to swipe, just not on Christmas.
  • Even worse, Swiper is and was capable of being good, feeling guilty, and even returning presents. Yet Santa doesn't acknowledge this, and still puts him on the naughty list. It's shown that if Dora hadn't stepped in, Swiper would have become a cold, bitter, genuine thief who lives in a creepy castle all alone with nothing but his swiped goodies putting him on the naughty list wouldn't have taught him a lesson, it would have made him worse than ever. Nice Job Almost Breaking It Santa. Thank god for the power of friendship.
• Memetic Mutation: "Sniper, no sniping!" in online FPSes.
  • Taken to extremes with the SNL Maraka Affectionate Parody. And lesser mainstreams with the Youtube Poops
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Some parents' reaction to 'Tween Dora'.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: Backpack is a girl.
