Added example(s)
Added DiffLines:
* DoubleEntendre: ChocolateBaby is heavily implied in an otherwise G-rated cartoon.
Added DiffLines:
* PlotIncitingInfidelity: The angry argument between mama and papa duck strongly implies the father thinks the mother cheated on him and produced a ChocolateBaby.

None
Added DiffLines:
* MistakenForCheating: Heavily implied. When the duck parents see the ugly duckling for the first time, the father duck glances over at his other ducklings, then back at this one who looks nothing like them, and looks at the mother with an angry expression.
Added DiffLines:
* ParentalBonus: When the ugly duckling hatches, the mother and father duck's argument consists entirely of angry quacking noises instead of dialogue. While small children would likely assume they're blaming each other for the fifth duckling being uglier than the others, any adults watching can quickly piece together [[MistakenForCheating what they're actually arguing about]].

It is of course an adaptation of ""Literature/TheUglyDuckling"" by Creator/HansChristianAndersen. A mama duck hatches five eggs, resulting in four cute little yellow ducklings, and one duckling that looks... different. It's white with a big beak, and it honks noisily rather than go cheep-cheep like the cute ducklings. The father stalks away in a rage. The mother and the other ducklings shun the Ugly Duckling, which eventually wanders away, looking for a place to belong.
