Notes/Trivia
- The character's voice by Doug Young, who was also the original voice of Doggie Daddy was said to be a caricature of Buddy Hackett.
- It isn't really specified if Ding-a-Ling is either a child or an adult, but based on his childlikeness, it can be speculated that he's a child.
- Interestedly enough, in the Max original series, Jellystone!, he is also shown to be portrayed as a child as he is a student at Jellystone Elementary School.
