1In a cartoon short ''filled'' with funny, this:
2* Dodgers tries to blast off in his rocket, which instead burrows itself halfway into the ground. "Whoops! Heh, {{had the silly thing in reverse}}!"
3* Setting a course for Planet X:
4-->'''Duck Dodgers:''' And now then, eager young space cadet, here is the course we shall pursue to find Planet X. ''[illustrating every detail on a clear plastic star chart of space]'' Starting from where we are, we go 33,600 turbo miles due up. Then west in an astro-arc deviation to here, then following the great circle seven radiolubes south by downeast. By astro-astroble to here, here, and here, then by space navigo-compass to here, here, and then to here and here. By thirteen point strato-cumulus bearing four million light-years, and thus to our destination [[note]]Note that their destination is about half an inch from the 33,600 turbo-miles in the first step on the chart[[/note]]. Now do you know how to reach Planet X?\
5'''Eager Young Space Cadet:''' Y-y-ye--oh sure.\
6'''Duck Dodgers:''' ''[gawking at first the Cadet, then at the chart's ridiculously complex path]'' Well, I wish you'd explain it to ''me'' some time, buster!\
7'''Eager Young Space Cadet:''' Oh, why, it's v-very simple, sir... ''[cuts to a look outside the ship, with various planets lettered "A", "B", "C", etc.]'' If we follow th-those planets, we can't very well miss Planet X!\
8'''Duck Dodgers:''' ''[laughing]'' [[StupidestThingIveEverHeard That's ridiculous! Of all the stupid suggestions!]] ''[more laughing]'' Hey, wait a minute... I think I've got it! I'll just bet that if we just follow those planets, we'll find Planet X! [[GladIThoughtOfIt Gads... How do I do it]]?\
9'''Eager Young Space Cadet:''' [[SarcasmMode I d-d-d-don't know]].
10* Marvin has pulled a Disintegrating Pistol on Dodgers, who dares him to fire since Dodgers is secretly wearing a disintegration-proof vest. Well... at least [[ExactWords the]] ''[[ExactWords vest]]'' [[ExactWords doesn't disintegrate...]]
11* Not to mention the scene afterward, with Duck Dodgers vs. the Disintegrating Pistol... Both Marvin's and his own:
12-->'''Duck Dodgers:''' ''[[[AttackHello appearing out of nowhere and pointing a gun at Marvin the Martian]]]'' HA-''HA!'' Got the drop on you with MY [[ExactWords Disintegrating Pistol]]! And brother, when it disintegrates, it ''disintegrates!!''\
13''[Dodgers pulls the trigger of his pistol... and it promptly turns to dust in his hand]''\
14'''Duck Dodgers:''' Heh... Well, what do you know? It... disintegrated.
15* The first time Eager Young Space Cadet catches Marvin the Martin flatfooted:
16-->'''Eager Young Space Cadet:''' ''[handing him a lit stick of dynamite]'' Ha-Happy B-Bir-Birthday, you th-thing from another world, you! ''{disappears back into the ship]''\
17'''Marvin the Martian:''' ''[dropping his pistol]'' Oooo! Thank you!\
18''['''[[StuffBlowingUp KABOOM!]]''']''
19* Hard to put into words, but the bit where Duck Dodgers and Marvin send "ultimatum dispatchers" to one another is pure gold.
20-->''[Dodgers shoots a bullet at Marvin; it stops mere inches in front of his face, and opens up to reveal a message]''\
21'''Message:''' [[AC:Surrender, or be blown into 17,670,002 micro-cells.]]\
22''[Marvin then shoots a bullet back. Like the previous bullet, it stops inches from Dodgers's face and opens up]''\
23''[it then shoots Dodgers in the face]''\
24''[Dodgers sends one more bullet back, revealing another message]''\
25'''Message:''' [[AC:OUCH!]]
26* "'''''[[ComicalOverreacting THAT'S THE LAST STRAW!!! NOW I USE MY SECRET WEAPON!!!]]'''''"
27* How Duck Dodgers wins in the end:
28-->'''Duck Dodgers:''' As I was saying, buster, this planet ain't big enough for the two of us. So... ''[shoves Marvin off the small remains of Planet X]'' off you go!
