This is sad that I even know this answer. I used to watch the show with my little sister a few years ago. Stupid show, but it kinda kept you watching. The fox tries to steal something, usually from Dora, and she says "Swiper(the fox's name) no swiping(that means stealing)". It keeps him from stealing anything, he gets disappointed (I guess, maybe mad) and goes away only to show up later. It's like a guard, you hold a cross up, the vampire doesn't attack. (usually). You get the picture.

Deep down,Swiper wants to do right, but since he is a fox, he has a tendency to swipe things. Dora and Boots act as his concience or "Higer Being".

To let him know that after the 3rd time, we're going to take action. Sort of like how a parent might count to three when they want their child to come to them or stop doing something. It's a warning I guess, lol. Quite frankly, I'd like to see Dora and Boots drop some body slamming knowledge.

Swiper was previously hypnotised so that if he hears that phrase 3 times,he is unable to swipe.
Okay,I made that up-but I couldn't think of any other plausible explanation!

Because its a show for pre-schoolers and research has found that repetition not only appeals to the under 4 set, but it's one of the most effective ways they learn.

It prevents him from swiping an object at that particular moment.

Because it does the fox's head in as it does my head in.. so in order to them to shut up.. he just leaves it...

Because it's a kids' tv show.

It doesn't prevent him from doing it, does it?

Cause he can't stand the idiocy of the little b*tch. Plus he is reminded of the wrongness of stealing and reverts to his christian ways.
