* OnlyChildSyndrome:
** Webby Vanderquack is the lonely version of this trope, as she was raised in the McDuck mansion with only Mrs. Beakley for company. When Huey, Dewey, and Louie move in to the manor, she is ecstatic to finally have friends, but struggles sometimes to fit in with the triplets and with doing normal kid things, since her ex-spy granny raised her to be hyper-competent. Because of this, she cannot understand why the triplets would want to have an only child day.
** Doofus Drake is the spoiled version to the extreme. When his rich grandmother left him her entire fortune, he became a despot, making his parents work for him like servants. It isn't until Louie makes B.O.Y.D. his brother that his parents find the guts to discipline Doofus.

* BelatedChildDiscipline:
** Doofus Drake, after receiving his late Gummeemama's entire fortune, became [[DrunkWithPower unhinged]] to the point of [[AbusiveOffspring turning his parents into servants in their own home]]. When Louie reprograms B.O.Y.D. to be Doofus's brother in "Happy Birthday, Doofus Drake!", giving B.O.Y.D. the right to half the fortune, Mr. and Mrs. Drake finally GrewASpine and start disciplining Doofus.
** In "Timephoon!", Della, recently-returned MissingMom who is [[MaternallyChallenged still adjusting to the role]], is lenient with the triplets in their [[ParentalSubstitute Uncle Donald's]] absence. After Louie's reckless time travel scheme almost hurts the family (as well as time and space), Della, [[LikeFatherLikeSon whose own recklessness caused her to go missing in the first place]], [[AngerBornOfWorry finally puts her foot down]] and grounds Louie, forbidding him from scheming. This continues in "Glomtales!", where Della bars Louie from joining their adventure to Big Rock Candy Mountain. This helps Della develop as a mom and helps Louie realize that while he's good at scheming, he needs to prioritize his family over himself. After Louie saves the family fortune from Glomgold, while Della holds firm that Louie needs to be careful, she agrees to help him think things through instead of banning schemes altogether, since Louie has proven he can scheme responsibly.

* StudioEpisode:
** The Season 2 episode "[[Recap/DuckTales2017S2E16TheDuckKnightReturns The Duck Knight Returns!]]" features Launchpad, Dewey, and Jim Starling (Darkwing Duck's original actor) trying to sabotage the production of an InUniverse ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' reboot film bankrolled by Scrooge in an attempt to get Starling his job back...[[spoiler:but it turns out that the new actor playing Darkwing, Drake Mallard, is an avid fan of the original show and wants to do the character justice. The film is cancelled after a battle between Starling and Mallard, with Mallard deciding to take up the mantle of Darkwing Duck for real, while Starling transforms into Nega-Duck]].
** Season 3's [[Recap/DuckTales2017S3E2QuackPack Quack Pack]] gives the cast an OutOfGenreExperience due to a wish made by Donald by forcing them to participate in a sitcom based on their lives, complete with a live StudioAudience... [[spoiler:which is composed entirely of ''humans'']].

* AnAesop:
** There's no such thing as having money without problems. Scrooge [[spoiler:and briefly Louie]] is the richest person on Earth but he's constantly having to fight and work to keep it.
** Two in The Lost Harp of Mervana. Firstly, that lying to protect kids from the reality of the world is only setting them up for failure. Secondly, that ignoring '''the''' Truth in favor of your own Truth is about the worst thing you could possibly do for the world around you.

* PropellerHatOfWhimsy: Played with in "[[Recap/DuckTales2017S1E7TheInfernalInternshipOfMarkBeaks The Infernal Internship of Mark Beaks!]]" Waddle trainees Dewey and Huey wear propeller hats called "Trainee Beanies" as part of the informal uniform. This sets the young interns apart from the regular workers, but also says less about Huey and Dewey than about CEO Mark Beaks, emphasizing the forced fun atmosphere of the company and how nonserious the internship is. Mark also later slaps a trainee beanie on his abductor Falcon Graves as part of a disguise, showing how flippant Beaks is about his own kidnapping. [[spoiler:{{Subverted|Trope}} when it's revealed that Beaks staged the kidnapping to scam his investors, showing how AffablyEvil he really is underneath the immaturity.]]

** Negaduck, of all characters, was given this in in the reboot. The original ''Darkwing'' depicted him as being its titular lead's EvilCounterpart from an alternate dimension, a MirrorUniverse of swapped moralities know as the "Negaverse", and practically everything Negaduck does is to prove himself as the ultimate bad guy. In ''[=DuckTales=]'', [[spoiler:he used to be Jim Starling, the actor who played Darkwing on a TV show, until its cancellation (partially brought on by his own ego) leaves him without work and struggling to make ends meet. His learning he was being subjected to TheOtherDarrin InUniverse for a rebooted movie of the show [[SanitySlippage drives him over the edge]] and causes him to try to kill his replacement outright, only to have a MyGodWhatHaveIDoneMoment and sacrifice himself to save Launchpad from an explosion. Said HeroicSacrifice inspires said replacement to become Darkwing for real...only for TheReveal that Jim is still alive and has become twisted as to become [[WhamShot Negaduck himself]].]]

** Darkwing himself (and a heroic version at that). The original Darkwing was a glory-hound who, though fighting for the good of St. Canard, was clearly in it for the fame and glory he thought it would bring him, and had become a crime fighter for...[[MultipleChoicePast reasons that have varied from story to story]]. With this new iteration, which treats Darkwing as a ShowWithinAShow, the young Drake Mallard was personally inspired by the show on how to be a hero, and though he develops a bit of an ego himself, his motivation is to inspire others the same way the show inspired him in the first place.

* FrustratingLie:
** In "Woo-oo!", before Donald leaves for his job interview and he hears his houseboat starting up, he asks Huey and Louie where Dewey is. Louie says he's sleeping, but Huey asks, "Who's Dewey?", making Louie slowly turn his head towards Huey to glare at him. After Donald leaves to go find Dewey, Louie yells at Huey for his weak lie.
** In "The Town Where Everyone Was Nice!", when Donald wants to make himself look impressive to his friends, José and Panchito, by lying about how successful he is, Huey and Scrooge agree to help him, with Huey telling Donald to keep his lie small and simple. But of course, Donald's small and simple lie is telling them he's in charge of [=McDuck=] Enterprises and he's a billionaire, which naturally causes Huey and Scrooge to facepalm at the same time. With the damage done, Huey adds that Donald is taking over the family business so Scrooge can retire, and Donald adds that it's because Scrooge is very, very old, which angers Scrooge, but he plays along so he doesn't have to pay for their trip. Donald ends up making it more complicated when he and his friends decide to bring back their old band, the Three Caballeros, and he agrees to pay for their expenses using Scrooge's money, which upsets Scrooge even more, and Huey tries to talk Donald out of it and come clean to his friends.

* NerdHoard: In "The Duck Knight Returns!", Launchpad attempts to sabotage the younger actor replacing Jim Starling as his childhood hero Darkwing Duck in the DarkerAndEdgier reboot by breaking in to his trailer (at Jim's request). However, Launchpad ends up bonding with the actor over the extensive Darkwing Duck memorabilia collection in his trailer, including discontinued toys, comics, and a lunchbox, proving the actor is an AscendedFanboy. [[spoiler: This foreshadows the fact that the actor is [[CanonCharacterAllAlong Drake Mallard]], Darkwing Duck's alias in the [[WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck original cartoon]], and was meant to be the real Darkwing Duck of the series all along.]]
