2	Mabel and Grunkle Stan "enjoy" the various oddities of Gravity Falls public television.
3	----
4	!!Tropes
5	* ADayInTheLimeLight: Stan, Duck-tective, Gideon, Soos, Durland and Blubbs all get focus here.
6	* BadBadActing: During the scene in the Mystery Shack commercial where there are two Mr. Mysterys, the first one is meant to act shocked over seeing another one, but Stan's delivery is very [[DullSurprise dull]].
7	* CallBack: An instrumental version of "Widdle Ol’ Me" can be heard during the ad for "Lil’ Gideon’s Big House".
8	* CartoonPenguin: "Duck-tective" has a penguin with this appearance, including an orange bill, black body and white belly.
9	* FailedAttemptAtDrama: Duck-tective quits and swims away for good...until he's easily lured back with bread.
10	* {{Foreshadowing}}: The scene with the “two” Mr. Mysterys in the Mystery Shack ad becomes this trope in Season 2.
11	--> "I’m the REAL Mr. Mystery!"
12	* FurryReminder: All over the place in "Duck-Tective”.
13	* GreenEyedMonster: The Constable becomes very jealous of Duck-tective's friendship with Steve.
14	* IceCreamKoan: "Soos Says Some Words"
15	-->'''Soos:''' If you accidentally eat the prize in your box of cereal, does that make ''you'' a specially marked box?
16	* KitschyLocalCommercial: Stan's badly-produced and badly-edited TV spot for the Mystery Shack.
17	* MonochromaticEyes: Gideon's aptly nicknamed cellmate, Ghost Eyes.
18	* NightmareFace: Stan’s close up at the end of the Mystery Shack ad, complete with EvilLaugh.
19	** Ghost Eyes is rather...unsettling.
20	* NoBudget: InUniverse; Durland and Blubb’s PSA spared every expense.
21	* NWordPrivileges: Duck-Tective and Steve on bird-related puns.
22	-->'''Constable:''' I thought you always hated those jokes.
23	-->'''Duck-tective:''' ''[subtitled]'' ''We'' can make those jokes.
24	* SpecialEffectsFailure:
25	** In-universe: the sticks that are taped to Duck-tective in order to move his wings are visible in some shots.
26	** Stan's woeful attempts at interacting with himself via green-screen.
27	* StylisticSuck: The Mystery Shack ad. ''All of it.''
28	* TotallyRadical: Durland and Blubb's god-awful PSA on peer pressure.
29	-->"Uh-UH, no-no, bippity-bop, KAZOW! I ''can't'' be pressured, no WAY, no HOW!"
30	* WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties: At the end of the commercial for ''Lil' Gideon's Big House''; "Lil' Gideon's Big House will return as soon as we contain this riot."
