* TheGadfly: Fifi has a sly grin on her face as she demonstrates [[BerserkButton how she creates Plucky’s mask]]. She clearly enjoys making her director angry. Her innocent expression when Plucky bursts out of the mold, ranting and raving, sells it.

* OrphanedReference: In universe: the latex mask Fifi made for Plucky was supposed to be part of Hamton’s stunt double costume. When Hamton kept getting his lines wrong, Plucky inadvertently did the stunt himself.

Added DiffLines:

* BlowYouAway: An accidental case. For the storm scene, Plucky utilised the largest fan system ever constructed. But upon activation, the large amount of fans ended up blowing a hole in the stage and a lot of the equipment away, resulting in the loss of six weeks' worth of shooting time and leading to Plucky constructing the scene in miniature.

** A couple to ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', despite that film not being from the 70s. On Day 12, Plucky requests "Oil can" like the Tin Man did when he first appeared. Later, as the ship encounters the massive tidal wave, Theodora appears within the wave, albeit riding Aunt Em's bicycle (itself referencing and parodying the tornado scene).

** The vision within the giant tidal wave which Plucky proclaimed to mean the end of the world parodies ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''. Another reference to that film appears early on in the episode, when, on Day 12, Plucky (frozen stiff in the same manner as the Tin Man) requests, "Oil can."

Added DiffLines:

The 11th episode of the second season of ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', and the 76th episode overall.

A grand adventure directed, produced by, and starring Plucky Duck, ''Kon Ducki'' documents Pluck Heyerdahl's attempt to recreate his 1970s ancestors' voyage from Yap to Salinas. Pop-culture references, 8-tracks and mango juice ensue.

The third act is a making-of short showing just how Plucky brought this masterpiece to the screen.

!! This episode provides examples of:

''Overall:''
* CreditsGag: Music/{{ABBA}} Spelled Backwards Is ABBA


''Kon Ducki:''
* AffectionateParody: Of high-adventure film documentaries in general, and the 1950 film ''Kon Tiki'' in particular.
* AnvilOnHead: Or "mast on head", as the case may be.
-->'''Plucky:''' Ah, ''mango juice!'' '''*thud*'''
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Columbia, Gem of the Ocean" is the main theme for the raft.
* ShoutOut: The first and second acts are ''loaded'' with references to 1970s pop culture:
** Pluck Heyerdahl's outfit features tight bell-bottom pants and platform shoes.
** The raft has a huge tie for a sail, and [[RuleOfFunny for some reason]] has a "[[UsefulNotes/RichardNixon Water Gate]]" hatch on the bottom.
** Music/{{ABBA}}, Music/PeterFrampton and Music/TheBeeGees are all called out by name.

''The Making of Kon Ducki:''
* AffectionateParody: Of all those "making-of" featurettes from the 1970s and 1980s, such as ''The Making of Star Wars''.
* CallBack: Several to the "mango juice" scene in the first act.
* OverlyLongGag: Hamton's "stunt duck" scene, though his increasingly delirious NonSequiturThud reactions make it worth it:
-->'''Hamton:''' [[TheHollywoodSquares I'll take Charley Weaver to block!]]
* TakeThat: Towards, of all companies, Creator/ColumbiaPictures. Creator/WarnerBros was apparently happy to see them off the "Burbank Studios" lot.
