*DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: During the RadishCure scene, Donald basically goes berserk, shoving the cigars into his nephews' mouths and lighting them up in a montage more befitting a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown (at one point a sick Huey even tried to drag himself away only for Donald to grab him by the ankle, drag him back into the room and give him another cigar).

*MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Donald reacts this way when he learns that the nephews actually bought the cigars for him, and he made them smoke them all.
*PoorCommunicationKills: The nephews secretly buy Donald a box of cigars for his birthday, but because of several reasons [[note]]they had to steal the money from their own piggybank because Donald would not just let them have the money they earned for their chores, Donald saw one of the triplets jokingly fake smoking a cigar before they wrapped them up, and he'd forgotten what day it was[[/note]], he thought they'd bought the cigars for themselves.
*RadishCure: Most infamously, Donald makes his nephews smoke all the cigars, thinking that they've taken up smoking.
*ShamefulShrinking: Once Donald learns that the cigars are actually for him, he becomes so mortified that he shrinks down to the size of a bug in humiliation and runs away.
