He started out doing voices on Hanna-Barbera's "Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo" (1979) and the re-syndicated version of "The Jetsons" (1962). Dave then went on to lend his versatile voice to Jim Henson's Emmy Award-winning animated series, "Muppet Babies" (1984), where he portrayed Animal and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew for the run of the series, and then became the voice of three additional characters: Waldorf and Statler (the two old guys on the balcony on the original "The Muppet Show" (1976)) and Bean Bunny. Additionally, Dave also voiced the character of Peter Venkman on "The Real Ghost Busters" (1986) cartoon (played by Bill Murray in the movies).

His famous tag line "Come on now, cut-it-out!" complete with hand motions that he became known for during "Full House" (1987) actually was created before he did that show. He invented the saying while he was on the variety show "Out of Control" (1984) on Nickelodeon in 1985.

Dave, Lorenzo Music, and Bill Murray are connected together in two ways. Music was the voice of Garfield on "Garfield and Friends" (1988) while Coulier substituted as the voice when Music was ill, and Murray did the voice for the movie Garfield (2004). Bill Murray played Peter Venkman in the movie Ghost Busters (1984) while Music started off as the voice of Peter in the cartoon "The Real Ghost Busters" (1986) and Coulier took over the voice duties from Music. Coulier also imitated Murray on a few episodes of his show "Full House" (1987).
