* In one comic, Scrooge is being followed by a thug, and tries to escape him...until he sees a wanted poster offering a 5000 dollar reward for the crook, at which point the tables are turned.

* After readin a tale about a guy convincing a woman he had a magic rock that allowed to make a tasty soup as long as you added the other ingredients and sells it to her, Gyro decides to try and make soup from a rock. He does it, but, being from a rock, it tastes hard... So he dilutes the rock juice with water, adds some vegetables to make it better, boils it over, eats a good soup, and then proudly declares he did in fact succeeds to make soup with just a rock. Then what he ''actually'' did dawns on him.

** Whenever evil wizard Black Spot contacts his {{Dragon}} Pete from the moon through apparitions in fire or water, the apparition medium hits Pete.

** The fact Javert chased Scrooge's Valjean for five years straight just to tell him that, and leaves his life as soon as he does.

* In the anniversary celebration ''A Little Something Special'', Scrooge is bored out of his mind at a celebration in his honor, held away from his Money Bin. The speaker is a tall pig, but Donald notices something when he glances down, and taps Scrooge on the shoulder. Looking down, Scrooge sees that the pig man casts Flintheart Glomgold's shadow. His [[OhCrap next thought balloon]] is presented ''[[RebusBubble as a rebus]]'':

** Speaking of Gyro, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Helper vs. the desert]] in "The Sure-Fire Gold Finder".

* In Italian stories, the RunningGag of [[TakeThat insulting garden gnomes]], with the insult coming literally out of the blue every single time.

* In Brigitta's debut story "The Last Babaloo", Scrooge got rid of her stalking for the day by promising him a beret in babaloo fur, believing that babaloo is just a nonsense word. Then his nephews inform him it's an actual and incredibly rare animal that is used to make fur clothing, leading to a [[OhCrap priceless face]]. It gets even better when Scrooge, after hunting down the last babaloo [[TitleDrop referred to that in-story]] because the last beret of babaloo fur had been sold years earlier, finds out that [[spoiler:''he'' had bought that beret in 1898 and given it to ''Brigitta'' in one of their early encounters to try and get rid of her, before forgetting that babaloo was an actual word]].

** Santa's elf that collects the letters from around Antarctica... Traveling with a sled pulled by gluttonous ''[[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins penguins]]''. And then he stumbles on a giant ice cube with ''Magica and Ratface inside'': she didn't put up cold climate clothes, so she froze along the way.

*** After recovering from being shot down she infiltrates the hotel where the team was, disguises herself as a waitress and prepares to serve them food dosed them with magic potions... Then she overhears a player talking of a nightmare about mad antidoping, prompting her to [[OhCrap toss away everything with a ridiculous face]] for fear the Americans came up with a way to detect magic potions and would disqualify the entire team.

*** Finally there's the first match after Magica showed up... And she promptly discovered that ''the other team had their own witch that gave them empowering spells'', and they were canceling each other out. Also there were witches from multiple countries that had teams in the tournament... And ''the Supreme Archmage'', who had come to see if all teams had a magic user trying to cheat on their behalf or if he'd have to cancel the magic personally, as he explains to Magica before [[StatingTheSimpleSolution telling her to just support the team the normal way]].

** [[ButtMonkey Donald the Unsaddled]], so-called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin because he falls from all horses]]. [[UpToEleven Including wooden ones when he was a child]]. Gyro procures him ''three'' pedal-powered mechanical horses, with rather hilarious consequences:

* One of Magica's best plans consisted in casting a spell that would allow her to inherit the powers of Spelonca, [[TheArchmage the strongest witch ever]], thus allowing her to take the Number One Dime without Scrooge being unable to stop her, but the spell requires to pass the tasks set up by Spelonca herself and retrieve a number of rare ingredients along the way, the last of which would be discovered alongside the full instructions only after recovering the second to last one. After an epic quest she arrives at the instructions and discovers the missing ingredient: ''her worst enemy's most prized possession''. She has a VillainousBreakdown then and there.

* One of Magica's best plans consisted in casting a spell that would push her magical powers to [[TheArchmage archmage]] levels, thus allowing her to take the Number One Dime without Scrooge being unable to stop her, but the spell requires a potion with number of rare ingredients, the last of which would be discovered alongside the full recipe only after recovering the second to last one. After an epic quest she arrives at the recipe and discovers the missing ingredient: ''her worst enemy's most prized possession''. She has a VillainousBreakdown then and there.

** TheArchmage Mondor was once accidentally insulted by Magica when he was reviewing her performance, so he forced her to train Scrooge and family as a football team and face his team of champions from multiple worlds and eras and he'd strip her of her powers if she lost. Magica turned out to be a ''fantastic'' coach, so Mondor cheated by magically forcing his players to work together (not doping, he forced collaboration)... And when it came out, ''all the other Archmages came after him and stripped '''him''' of powers and position''.

* In Italian stories, UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball is incredibly SeriousBusiness for all magic users. To the point Magica will ignore the quest for the Number One Dime if Italy's team is playing, it's impossible to fix World Cup matches because every team has a magic user trying to do it for them and their spells cancel each other out (and if they didn't there's an ''[[TheArchmage Archmage]]'' ready to do the job himself), and an Archmage was once stripped of his position and powers for ''cheating at a soccer match'' by magically forcing his players to work together (not doping, he forced collaboration).

** After [[SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfAwesome beating Santa on Christmas Eve]], Magica makes her spell to have into her the "essence" of the coin... And Minima arrives and tells her it was a chocolate coin. Magica's ''furious'' face before the spell activates is priceless.

* In a Paperinik story the threat comes from time-displaced people and animals (including a TyrannosaurusRex, seen fighting some conquistadores). Gyro reveals that it's a side effect of a device he invented, that, once charged, will change history. Gyro, of course, realized the danger and got rid of the blueprints. Did he burn them? Rip them? Eat them (all suggested by Paperinik)? No: he ''threw them in the trash can'', because usually nobody can understand his inventions ([[CaptainObvious as it happens, the villain of the story, professor Brain could]], and kept Gyro's lab under surveillance). When Gyro and Paperinik track down Brain they both call Gyro an idiot for it.

''See [[Funny/DonaldDuck here]] for instances focusing on DonaldDuck.''

** In one of Don's most subtle moments of GettingCrapPastTheRadar, the magical disguises Magica put on the Beagle Boys fail while the one disguised as Gladstone talks to ms. Typefast. Thing is, the disguises only fail halfway, leaving a normal looking beagle boy still dressed in Gladstone's outfit. Which has no pants. Typefast is looking ''down'' when she screams and passes out. A later scene even shows that the Beagle Boy has adjusted his outfit to cover his crotch.

* In one occasion, Scrooge had got the plans for ArtificialGravity technology from a stranded time traveler in exchange for help to try and build a time machine back home, only to have the plans snatched by Rockerduck's men disguised as the TimePolice with the excuse introducing technologies before they were supposed to be invented is a crime and he's lucky they won't fine or arrest him. Thus Rockerduck introduces the technology decades early... And then the ''real'' Time Police takes notice, tracks down the time traveler to the Money Bin, and meets Scrooge who ''gleefully'' tells them when and where Rockerduck got the technology. [[{{Irony}} Cue the Time Police blitzing Rockerduck and taking the plans directly from his hands while informing him that introducing a technology before it's supposed to be invented is indeed a crime and he's lucky they won't fine or arrest him for it]] ''or'' [[ImpersonatingAnOfficer impersonating them]].

** Scrooge and Donald trying to make sense when the real Time Police shows up at the Money Bin to collect the stranded time traveler and tell them what would have happened had they not got there months before Scrooge first met them.
