[Ruff growls angrily]

Ruff: [happily] It was going Great! [his expression turns to mad] UNTIL!

That Doesn't Float My Boat
Ruff: [tired] Come on Ruffman. Think! Think! Okay, how about this: [draws on his dry erase board] We put the contestants on a deserted island; three coconuts and that's it. Uh, no, not coconuts, bicycles, yeah. Or bassoons. Oh, it's brilliant-- Now I'm doomed!! Oh, hi. Ever hear of writer's block? Well, I have game show host block; Oh, boy, do I ever!

Shrimp a la Cart
Ruff: (over the piles of shrimp) That's what they look like fresh out of the ocean? Ugh... I mean, uh... aren't they great? [chuckling] I can't wait to... write on that.
Talia: (disgusted) Ruff, this is so gross. Ew, look at... Ew, I don't want to touch it...
Ruff: I'm sorry, Talia, but you've got to touch it. I need you to bring back a pound of shrimp.
Season 5
Eureka is Not a Brand of Dog Food
Ruff: [overtired] Hi, and welcome again to Fetch. The reality game show where human beings do the fetching, not dogs! [collapses on his bed, sobbing]
Fetchers: [concerned] Why? What's wrong with you?
Ruff: My person, She's rediscovered the joys of playing Fetch with her dog!
Ruff's Owner: [off-screen] Ruffydoodles, time for fetchies! Bring your tennis ball! Woof-woof!
Ruff: [sobbing] You see what I mean!? She's running me ragged!
Ruff's Owner: [off-screen] Ruffy-pie, get the bally!
Ruff: [sobbing]
Look What the Dog Dug Up!
[Spring cleaning in Ruff's office.]
Ruff: Oh, hi! Look what I just found under the couch! [pulls out a stale plate of spaghetti and meatballs] The meatballs are a little hard, but the rest of it is okay. [Blossom shows Ruff a box] No, Blossom, you can't throw this out. This is my limited edition figurine. [gives it to Chet, who places it on the shelf; Blossom gives Ruff a package] Who's it from, Blossom? [reads the label] "From a Fan of the Show". Well! [he unwraps the package, revealing a sandwich with a face made out of vegetable toppings; gasps in awe] It's the most delicious-looking pastrami sandwich ever! [sniffs the sandwich] In fact it, looks so good, I can't eat it! I have to bury it!
[Ruff runs outside to bury the sandwich. Blossom opens a window and watches.]
Ruff: [peeks in] What can I say? It's a dog thing. [goes back to work] I can't expect you to under... [finds something] Whoa! Wait a minute! What is this?!
[Ruff returns to the office, carrying a strange-looking Egyptian coffin.]
Ruff: I just found this buried in the backyard! [Blossom looks at Ruff] It's what? An ancient Egyptian sarcophagus?! A coffin for a mummy?
[Blossom places her hands on the lid of the coffin as Chet runs on top of it.]
Ruff: [worried] Wait! If you open it, you could disturb the mummy and unleash a curse!
[Blossom opens the lid anyway, sending Chet flying through the air. He goes over Ruff's head.]
Ruff: Chet!
[Chet lands on a spoon holding a stale meatball. The meatball is catapulted through the air. Ruff and Blossom duck.]
Ruff: Meatball!
[The meatball hits Ruff's figurine, shattering it to dust.]
Ruff: [devastated] My figurine! Blossom, do you think this is a sign you've unleashed a curse?!
[The shelf comes loose, and all the stuff on it falls on Ruff.]
Ruff: How about now?
Ruff: Hello, and welcome to Fetch!, the only reality game show where the host has had an ancient curse put upon him by a mummy!
Fetchers: Wait... What? What do you mean?
Ruff: I'm in a backyard, I'm burying a pastrami sandwich - don't ask - and in the process, I dig up this ancient Egyptian coffin. If you want proof that I'm cursed, look! Black ooze has started dripping from the ceiling! Black ooze!
Emmie: That's a little eerie. Is there anything else that could have caused it?
Ruff: Well, Emmie, maybe I shouldn't have stored leaky containers of molasses in the attic, but still, it's black ooze! And if you need more proof that things aren't right, I told Chet to set the table, and look. He did it perfectly.
[The Fetchers cheer Chet on.]
Ruff: No! No! He's never done anything even close to correct before. Something has to be done about this.
Ruff: WHAT'S THAT?! AAH, A SKELETON WITH A HAT! Wait a minute, my Fetchers are wearing the same hat!
