"THAT'S IT!!!" refers to the running gag that appears in almost every Goodfeathers cartoon. The running gag involves Pesto taking Squit's innocent remarks or compliments as insults and asking him questions in an angry "Tommy DeVito-esque" manner, referencing the "Funny how?" exchange from Goodfellas between Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) and Henry Hill (Ray Liotta). The fallout usually causes Bobby to laugh his head off, though he sometimes tries to stop Pesto from abusing Squit.

In one episode, "Ta Da Dump, Ta Da Dump, Ta Da Dump Dump Dump;" Bobby gets pulled into Pesto's fight ("Hey, Pesto, what are you, a maniac? [gets pulled into the fight] Woah!")

List of Variations of the Exchange

Squit: Hey!
Pesto: I thought I told you to stop with that fluting, huh. Take that! Get out of my face!
Squit: OW! Just come on! Come on, I ain't come on, I ain't (incomprehensible) with my beak! (mixed with Pesto's dialogue).

Squit: I said you're tough, that's all!
Pesto: You're saying that I'm an overdone piece of meat, is that what you're saying? What am I? A plate of dry, steak butt meat, here to amuse you?
Squit: No, I didn't say that. I just said you're tough.

Pesto: What do you mean by that?
Squit: Why, I said you're swell, that's all.
Pesto: (spits out bagel) You saying that I got a big head? Is that what you're saying? (Squit starts sweating) What am I? A bloated, puffy, round head, here to amuse you?
Squit: Nah, I didn't say that, I just- I said you're swell!
Pesto: I am swell?
Squit: Yeah, you're swell.
Pesto: Swell?
Squit: Yeah!
(Pesto steps a few feet away from Squit, his feathers start to ruffle.)
Pesto: THAT'S IT! (starts fighting Squit) Here's your swell! I got your swell right here. I'll show you swell!
Bobby: Well, maybe he thinks you're cute, you know what I'm saying. (laughs)

"Ta Da Dump, Ta Da Dump, Ta Da Dump Dump Dump" 23 Squit: (grabs Pesto) You okay? You look dizzy.
Pesto: What do you mean I'm dizzy?
Squit: Hey, I just said you looked dizzy, that's all.
Pesto: You saying I'm some dim-witted blond bombshell here to titillate you?
Squit: What? I just thought you looked dizzy!
Pesto: THAT'S IT! COME HERE! (fights)
Squit: Yo, Pesto, when you get stuck, you get stuck good.
Pesto: What exactly do you mean by that?
Squit: What, I mean you're really stuck, you know?
Pesto: No, I do not know. You tell me. You mean I'm like an old piece of gum? Is that what you mean? I'm like something stuck under a chair here to disgust you? IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN?!
Squit: Get outta here, I just mean you're stuck, that's all.
Pesto: THAT'S IT! (fights)
Bobby: Hey, Pesto, what are you, a maniac? (gets pulled into the fight) Woah! PESTO! (fighting stops) Good, this is good. Now we're all stuck.
