My dad was exactly the same way. He gave us a dog since he thought boys should grow up with dogs. My brothers were excited, but I heard they would be hard work and didn't want one. He has no idea how to take care of one and essentially left the care to the rest of the family.

I’ve never really understood why Dexter was so worried about his parents discovering his laboratory, you’d think they’d be thrilled to have a super genius for a son. The only thing they’d be mad about would be the electric bill, but since they’ve never asked questions about a really high electric bill, Dexter’s been probably siphoning off geo thermal or something
None of the cartoons of our time made any sense at all, if they released today they’d immediately get hate and probably wouldn’t make it past the second season
My favorite cartoon logic was codename kids next door That no one questioned the massive tree house on top off the roof in the neighborhood or the moon base you think government would monitor that but they don't
@@ayoitsyayo the thing with cartoons is that you have to roll with it, if you implied real world logic, then almost all cartoons wouldn't make sense, past or present.
You talking about that time, also in nineteen ninety eight, when the undertaker threw mankind off hеll in a cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table?
@Starkiller SithLord Blows my mind looking back at them and realizing how many popular cartoons were produced, written, or animated by Butch Hartman... and yet we don't have that kind of reverence for the guy as the Mozart of 90s and early 2000s cartoons. Actually in the interviews I've seen of him, he seems like a really decent, humble guy tbh
It’s funny cuz Nickelodeon did the same joke when SpongeBob was first premiering where plankton controls SpongeBob and then they show the scene where plankton is like “this is my lab, and this is my laboratory” XD
In real time it was one of the world's biggest twist for a child watching a cartoon. I was so shooketh but then bam. Fake out. So funny looking back on the experience.
It really is though. When I was taking care of Me and my brother had to leave the dog behind to keep me and Ma conpany, I took care of this dog while Ma was in dialysis. But taking him to the park and fields was good for me too. But after Ma passed away and I got a job I could no longer take care of the dog and left it with my sister in law and told my brother I can't take care of him because my job won't let a Dog in their company. Even if they did I would have to keep him in a bag and keep a constant look out for him if I let him out the bag.
Right! That makes sense though, because wasn't it established in a later episode that the dad did motorcycle stunts for a living (or at least was good enough to pretend it was his job)? He's not the only the more "fun parent", but also naturally seems the type to be ok with thinking outside the box and living on the edge a little, as long as you know what the heck you're doing (which Dexter does at least about 90% of the time, when he isn't distracted). The mom on the otherhand....🤣
There’s an episode where his Dad ACTUALLY discovers his Laboratory whilst cleaning and doesn’t investigate due to the fact he doesn’t want to clean all of it and walks away.
I just realized, this exchange was really wise. Sure, Dad wanted to keep the dog more and Dexter was worried of the implications of having a pet. But from Dad's perspective, he saw it as his kid knowing all the responsibilities, making him mentally ready to own one. Actually really cool.
I always imagined that the mother would have that reaction to dexter's actual lab. Like she would see it and be all "It's so CLEAN!!" The thing that would cause him to wipe their memories, would be them pestering him to build things for him. "Build me a cleaning robot, build me this, and that, etc."
I think there was a episode where Dexters dad was supposed to be cleaning the house, accidentally opens the lab and just says "If she thinks i'm cleaning all this shes insane" and then just closes the door as if its just another regular part of the home.
There is an episode where he makes a mechanical parrot that repeats everything he says and DeeDee damages it, so when he tries to stop the bird from revealing he has a lab he himself accidentally reveals it, and DeeDee comments 'great job dexter now you have to wipe mom and dads memory again' indicating they have stumbled on it a few time and that he, in fact, did wipe their memories.
@@dfquartzidn6151 Not sure where he first learned of the concept of science, but another episode reveals that he started clinging to it after discovering the deception of a beloved uncle’s magic tricks (though the uncle ultimately turned out to have real powers anyway)
This scene always always made me laugh as a kid till now that I'm 31yrs old. Especially the dads face expression when he said "Dexter how long you've been keeping this lab as a secret from me" idk why his face and the way he said it made me laugh so much.
I love how Dexter’s family randomly had a box of Scooby Snacks in their kitchen cabinet when they don’t even own a dog except for this one episode lol 😂
@@Ron_Junkman Or maybe scooby snacks are actually manufactured by dexter in his laboratory thats why when scooby and shaggy eats them they have adverse effects on their body and disrupts the normal flow of adrenaline in their body causing them to feel more brave.
Honestly, Dexter's Dad is such a likeable character - I have always thought of him as such - that it kind of saddens me that he was the show's punching bag. This, on what memory I have of the show. Maybe if I sat down to start binge watching the show my opinion would change?
What?? Deedee has always known about Dexter's laboratory. About 50% of the conflict in the show revolves around him trying to kick her out so he can do science in peace.
So what? Deedee always wore a ballerina costume 🩰 and his mom always wore yellow gloves, but they weren’t always at recitals or washing things, right???
you know I come to realize he has that giant lab and the electric bill never gets questioned also how he built his lab in the first place without his parents suspecting lol lol
Now that I think about it dexter was always worried about his parents getting upset about the Lab because it would explain the high electricity bill lol
As epic as this scene was, the scene prior to this when Dexter was using Dee Dee as a stick and her walking away all annoyed saying "I don't have to STICK around for this!" Had me Rollin!!! 😂😂😂😂
I think the in lore logic as to why Dexter keep his laboratory to himself is because he doesn't want any rumors to spread and eventually have everybody, (not just his sister anymore) want to invade his lab.
@@RootVegetabIe To be fair it could be reasonably explained by her just being way more nosey than his parents ever were. The show supports this, his parents are usually doing their own things, whereas Deedee just seems to have nothing better to do than to bother him.
i never understood how/why dexter would think his parents pissed at him having a science laboratory unless his thought process is the fear of the electric bill being explained
I used to gave two Labradors as well my dad keeps giving them away but I can assure you that they’re his trusted friends. First dog is a black Labrador his name is Shadow my dad didn’t want him anymore because he keeps running away just to find someone to mate so my dad gave Shadow to his friend even though he’s paraplegic he has a female service dog who’s not fixed and she’s perfect for Shadow so my dad lets him go so he can have puppies with his mate. Second dog is Yellow Labrador his name is Kenny, he’s so rebellious he basically chewed everything and digging the backyard he gave him away to his childhood friends so they can take care of him he has a playmate as well. I miss them so much as of right now my dad owns two dogs they’re not huge but they are super sweet and well trained they are Shakes and Gizmo they’ve been with us for 9 years and counting. So my dad is okay with medium or small dogs because huge dogs like Labradors is hard to train them even though it’s his opinion.
I was waiting for this conversation for so long on this show to find out it was about the dog had me so weak “How long have you been keeping this lab a secret from me??” 🤣🤣
Labs are some of the smartest dogs out there. I had a black lab when I was younger and she managed to figure out how to turn on the TV in my room. For a few months my mom would get on my case about leaving the TV on when I fell asleep but then one morning she appologized to me and said that she caught the dog turning it on and watching it.
Dexter lists the responsibility of dog ownership and his dad is just like “oh good. Then I don’t have to talk you every day to be responsible for the dog like a lot of parents have to do when their kid sneaks a dog into the house”
This was definitely one of the best episodes the show had to offer! In fact, I'd even say that it is worthy of a spot in the Top 10 Dexter's Laboratory episodes of all time.
They got us real good. I really thought he did saw the Laboratory and Dexter needs some explaining to do and the "Dexter, how long have you been keeping this Lab a secret from me" part always makes me laugh. 🤣
I was just wondering myself and it's been a long time since I've watched this show and all, but why does Dexter keep his laboratory a secret from his parents? I've seen other cartoon shows where children would have their own laboratories, such as Jimmy Neutron with his lab and Susan and Mary Test from Johnny Test, and their parents know about them having high-tech laboratories even though they don't seem to mind. Dexter, however, always keeps his lab a secret from his parents even though his sister, Dee Dee, knows about it, but she never tells anyone else about Dexter's secret.
There was an episode that involved Dexters monkey and the lab gets revealed to his parents they forget about it until monkeys identity is brought up by dexter at the end he ends up erasing their memories and the monkey does it to dexter also at the end but as far as that I think that’s the only time his lab is revealed to his parents
There was another episode that he blabs about his lab when he builds a mechanical parrot and at the very end of the episode he straight up mentions his lab to his parents the episode ends right there
No reason per se, just a premise of having a Secret Laboratory where experiments happen without the oversight of the parents would be "dangerous" to say the least (as a lot of failed experiments do end up being dangerous and life threatening). IMO this was a time where having a secret from the parents is the "Cool Kid" thing to do. Deedee doesn't blab about the Secret Lab is all due to her having power over Dexter, where she would sometimes get him to make her things and whatnot. Then again, keeping a secret with a sibling also shows a close bond, despite both of them having very contrary personalities against each other. If for reference, we can take Fairy Odd Parents' Timmy Turner having access to Fairy Magic and the times when the parents do find out about the Magic, your mileage might vary.
@@Dilbert1999 It's never really delved into why they'd be upset though, aside from throwaway lines about the electricity bill being high from time to time. I think it was just an excuse to keep the joke going.
I love the joke that the dad wants him to keep the dog and Dexter rolls out all the typical excuses parents give not to have animals xD
My dad was exactly the same way. He gave us a dog since he thought boys should grow up with dogs. My brothers were excited, but I heard they would be hard work and didn't want one. He has no idea how to take care of one and essentially left the care to the rest of the family.

And the dad probably did not want to let anyone else know that he's actually aware of an existing laboratory in Dexter's room
Also, the dude actually walked into the lab unintentionally while sweeping in one episode, lmao. But he just brushed it off like nothing in 7 seconds.

0:02 dexter is a redditor
I just got a Labrador pup a few days ago and randomly thought of this episode from my childhood and had to come here 😂🐶
Scooby Snacks in Dexter. That's like a shout out.
Dexter is love, Dexter is life!
They got us real good. I really thought he did saw the Laboratory and Dexter needs some explaining to do and the "Dexter, how long have you been keeping this Lab a secret from me" part always makes me laugh. 🤣
My first time seeing this. I was on the edge of my seat when we were thinking Dexter’s dad discovered the labertory
This is the first time where I've seen the context of the show baits the viewers and the thumbnails actually not clickbaiting the viewers. Nice
You just know the entire episode was made for this one joke.
Haha, dad asks son "are you gonna keep him?"
Been watching this show since 1998 and won't stop now 😭
I bet so many of us knew exactly what episode this was before we even clicked on this video.
Dexter did you forget that talk we had about responsibility? 😤
We?! Who’s we?! 🤨
“Take your buddy upstairs!” 👉🏾
I was just wondering myself and it's been a long time since I've watched this show and all, but why does Dexter keep his laboratory a secret from his parents? I've seen other cartoon shows where children would have their own laboratories, such as Jimmy Neutron with his lab and Susan and Mary Test from Johnny Test, and their parents know about them having high-tech laboratories even though they don't seem to mind. Dexter, however, always keeps his lab a secret from his parents even though his sister, Dee Dee, knows about it, but she never tells anyone else about Dexter's secret.
There was an episode that involved Dexters monkey and the lab gets revealed to his parents they forget about it until monkeys identity is brought up by dexter at the end he ends up erasing their memories and the monkey does it to dexter also at the end but as far as that I think that’s the only time his lab is revealed to his parents
There was another episode that he blabs about his lab when he builds a mechanical parrot and at the very end of the episode he straight up mentions his lab to his parents the episode ends right there
Dexter came berore them, so the others just decided to change the standard.
He doesn't want to cop to the electric bill
No reason per se, just a premise of having a Secret Laboratory where experiments happen without the oversight of the parents would be "dangerous" to say the least (as a lot of failed experiments do end up being dangerous and life threatening). IMO this was a time where having a secret from the parents is the "Cool Kid" thing to do.
Deedee doesn't blab about the Secret Lab is all due to her having power over Dexter, where she would sometimes get him to make her things and whatnot. Then again, keeping a secret with a sibling also shows a close bond, despite both of them having very contrary personalities against each other.
If for reference, we can take Fairy Odd Parents' Timmy Turner having access to Fairy Magic and the times when the parents do find out about the Magic, your mileage might vary.
I watched this as a kid and it completely stumped me all these years passed, what a gag xD
Dexter’s dad’s voice is amazing. Really sold the show and incredible performance.
Irony is dexters parents would be ok with him having a laboratory. Heavens they would be proud of him.
I think he actually revealed it to them in an episode, and they were upset so he had to wipe their memories.
@@Dilbert1999 It's never really delved into why they'd be upset though, aside from throwaway lines about the electricity bill being high from time to time. I think it was just an excuse to keep the joke going.
@@Dilbert1999 Maybe they were just upset about the fact he had to HIDE it from them instead of having the lab itself
I cannot fathom going into my son's room, finding an immense hidden laboratory, and feeling anything other than utter shock and dumbfounded disbelief.
He's a 5 year old and builds very dangerous robots and weapons
Phew! I thought for a moment that he had discovered Dexter's Laboratory. But instead he found the dog, which is called a labrador. :)
That's the point😊
@@DanyRobertHunselar-sq3kp Ah yes, but I think most dont realize. :)
When you realise the dog’s licking sound is some dude slurping away at the microphone
The dad and mom are the best characters. This show was great!
