History Series / DuckDynasty

** Rebecca appeared in a Wal-Mart commercial for Duck Dynasty merchandise long before she was introduced on the show.

** Once the series became a hit, A&E attempted to replicate its success by airing ''Southie Rules'', a show about a multi-generational family living together in South Boston. It didn't work. Their next attempt, a show about several stay at home dads called ''Modern Dads'', did, but for a very short time, and another attempt, ''The Governor's Wife'', failed miserably. In 2014, the network premiered ''Wahlburgers'', which focuses on Boston chef Paul Wahlberg (brother of actors Donnie and Creator/MarkWahlberg) and his plans to expand his restaurant business. Unlike several others also created by A&E around the same time, this one did work, and ran for 10 seasons before ending in 2019.

* HalloweenEpisode: Features the Duck Commander crewing setting up a haunted house for kids at the warehouse, complete with Uncle Si scaring kids as a giant beaver.

** Si also has somewhat eclectic musical tastes, and repeatedly references rap songs from the 1990s as well as the Music/BlackEyedPeas, Music/BonJovi, and the theme song plus several quotes from ''Series/InLivingColor''.
** He also tells Willie in "Duck Be A Lady" that he needs to accept that his daughter isn't a little girl anymore and that he needs to stop being so overprotective of her. {{Lampshaded}} by Willie, who can't believe he's getting good parental advice from ''[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Si]]''.

** Godwin is a huge fan of renaissance fairs, to the point of requesting one for his birthday. The ''Growing the Dynasty'' spinoff also reveals that he is an adoptive father and [[FriendToAllChildren exceptionally good with kids]].

* LethalChef: In "Jerky Boys," the guys try making their own jerky using Godwin's dehydrator. The finished product tastes terrible because Godwin used carburetor cleaner to scrub the thing out, and possibly because the deer meat Martin supplied for the project was already drawing flies.

* MustHaveCaffeine: Jase, Jep, Godwin, and Martin in "Duck Be a Lady." After the coffee machine in the warehouse breaks down, they get impatient with Willie's slowness to replace it and go to a coffeehouse.

** Phil especially lives exactly as he always did before Duck Commander took off. He and Miss Kay live in a modest house, where Phil does all of his own home repairs and hunts for his food. About the only thing Phil takes advantage of with regards to his wealth is buying off road vehicles to get around his land.

* RealMenLoveJesus: There's more talk about Christianity on this show than almost any other secular program out there. Most visibly, the Robertsons usually end episodes praying around their dinner table. Alan was the preaching minister at their church until very recently, and Jase also went to seminary and ministered for a few years before working at Duck Commander. Phil and Willie are not ordained ministers, but both preach. Phil has been known as "the Billy Graham of the duck hunting world" for a long time before Duck Dynasty. The entire cast, including children, wives, and Justin Martin, John Godwin, even Mountain Man put together "The Duck Commander Devotional", with scriptures and their thoughts inspired by them. More recently, they have released a Duck Commander Bible-a bible (NKJV) with their thoughts on passages interspersed throughout.

* RealSongThemeTune: Music/ZZTop's "SharpDressedMan" (seasons 1-6). The band showed up to perform it in the series finale.

* SiblingRivalry: Willie and Jase--big-time, especially in "Battle of the Brothers."

* RandomEventsPlot: While there is an overarching theme of John Luke become a "true Robertson," most of the game is just completing random tasks and scenarios that don't really tie into one another.

* CordonBleughChef: At one point, Si takes over a snow cone stand John Luke has opened and starts cooking up batches of soup with the flavor syrups mixed in. Everyone thinks the results are disgusting, and he soon gives up and lets John Luke run the business again.

* BlackSheep: Phil and Miss Kay's eldest son Alan. He initially shunned the spotlight, instead focusing on his ministry, but started to make occasional appearances starting with Season 4. Also, he is clean-shaven, unlike his father, uncle, and younger brothers. Willie even lampshades this trope in the Season 4 premiere:
-->'''Willie''': The perfectly shorn black sheep of the Robertsons.
-->'''Jase''': Kinda funny that the black sheep of our family is a preacher.
** Willie notes that he and Jase learned everything they know about tormenting Jep from what Alan did to them when they were kids.

** He also tells Willie in "Duck Be A Lady" that he needs to accept that his daughter isn't a little girl anymore and that he needs to stop being so {{overprotective|Dad}} of her. {{Lampshaded}} by Willie, who can't believe he's getting good parental advice from ''[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Si]]''.

* OverprotectiveDad: Willie, towards Sadie. A major part of both "Daddy's Got a Gun" and "Duck Be a Lady."

** CaffeineBulletTime: The result of their visit to said coffeehouse, where they try espresso for the first time. They get completely wired, quickly finish the work Willie asked them to do, goof around in the warehouse, then crash ''hard'' once the caffeine wears off. Jase finally decides to buy his own coffee machine and go back to the regular stuff.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The episode "Good Morning Arklamiss" features the Duck Commander crew taking over an entire local morning show for a Thanksgiving special. The episode is mostly just the actual segments of the special, cut down to episode length.

* BadassBeard: Admit it. Probably the first thing anyone ever notices when they first come across the show.

* AlohaHawaii: The third season finale, "Aloha, Robertsons!", has the Robertsons going on vacation to Hawaii. Willie's luggage goes missing, room accommodations go awry, Phil indulges his love for ''Film/TheBourneSeries'', and everyone hates Willie's vacation itinerary. At one time the highest rated telecast on A&E ''ever'', a title formerly held by both the ChristmasEpisode and the third season premiere.

* BeeAfraid: In one episode, HilarityEnsues when Willie, Jase, and Uncle Si attempt to gather honey from a beehive in the swamp. [[spoiler:Phil shows them all up in the end by getting the honey without being stung at all]].
