Down in the Dumps (Dexter's Laboratory)

"Down in the Dumps" is the third part of the seventeenth episode in the second season of Dexter's Laboratory.

Plot
In a fit of rage, Dexter dumps Dee Dee's favorite teddy bear into the garbage. A traumatized Dee Dee begins to behave oddly, prompting Dexter to go to the garbage dump and get it back.

Why It's Clean as a Whistle

 * 1) The title card looks really cool and has something to do with the episode - containing a pile of trash with sad Dee Dee lying there.
 * 2) Dee Dee pretending to voice her teddy bear, Mr Fuzzums at the start sounds decent enough, but Dexter pretending that said teddy was an "astronaut in training" with the engine slightly malfunctioning - sending him through the chimney and into the garbage truck was well-satisfied karma for Dee Dee's actions throughout the show.
 * 3) Dee Dee getting sad, speechless and bored  when finding out that Mr Fuzzums accidentally went into the garbage truck and having hallucinations of Dexter being her teddy is very emotional and relatable to anyone who does the same when they lose their beloved things.
 * 4) Dexter's plan to get the teddy back is very clever, as he puts him and Dee Dee in a bag to fool the garbage men into thinking the two are trash. Then when landing in the dump, they try searching for him - resulting with them using Dexter's bear claw toy.
 * 5) Speaking of which, the bear claw toy is very impressive and looks cool - especially when we see a disco ball thanks to Dee Dee simultaneously pushing its buttons.
 * 6) Good ending: Although Dee Dee messing around with the bear claw toy's buttons caused it to explode, at least she got Mr Fuzzums back, and it ends with the garbage truck driver wondering how Dexter and Dee Dee were put into the truck.

Reception

 * This episode, along with "Dee Dee Be Deep" & "911", hold a rating of 7.1/10 on IMDB.
