Donald: WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR HAIR?!
Dewey: The same as I did to yours!

Episode 1: Challenge of the Senior Junior Woodchucks!

• Webby asks Della why Donald didn't have a Junior Woodchuck uniform and sash like her. Della replies that Donald was expelled from the Woodchucks because he had some... issues with nature. Cue Donald trying to swat away a mosquito and ending up getting tangled in his camera straps. Della spends the next few scenes trying to untie him.
  • Made even funnier when it's revealed that the mosquito that's been harassing poor Donald throughout the entire episode was a F.O.W.L. spybot, which means they were intentionally trolling Donald the whole time!
• Launchpad Reading the Stage Directions Out Loud during his speech for the Junior Woodchuck graduation, including the note reminding him to not read the directions. And he also licks a grape jelly stain next to that message.
• Scrooge seeing a portrait of Isabella Finch and absolutely fanboying.
  Louie: Cue story about Scrooge as a lad, in three, two, and...
  Scrooge: When I was a lad...!
• Scrooge telling the group how Isabella deserved the utmost respect, before grabbing at the map on the portrait and ripping it out of her hands.
  Scrooge: [after his family yells at him] What? She hid this map here for future adventurers to find!
• The Tittertwill, who appears to have taken cues from the Aracuan Bird. And Scrooge is in the role of his nephew when paired with the Aracuan.
  • The original Tittertwill from the comics is known for needing quiet. This Tittertwill is the opposite of quiet. The irony is not lost there.
• Over the course of the challenge, Violet keeps giving Huey smack talk on Lena's advice. Throughout it all, she never ventures too far from her regular flat tone.
  Huey: I was born ready!
  Violet: If you are as prepared as a helpless baby, then I will beat you easily! Apologies, Lena told me that friendly smack talk is expected in competitions such as these.
  Lena: Call him a clown!
  Violet: Clown!
  • Later, when Huey leaves her behind on the tree to give himself a lead...
    Violet: Hubert! Wait! Was it because of my razzing? Curse my flawless slams...
• It's equally heartwarming and hilarious that Violet is committed to 'razzing' Huey because Lena suggested it, showing the strength of their sibling relationship but highlighting how adorably rational Violet is with her 'razzing'.
• While it's also a Heartwarming moment, Lena describing Violet as her "sister from a couple misters!" is pretty hilarious.
• Just before the challenge begins, Huey and Violet attempt a friendly handshake...but repeatedly put forth the wrong hands for a bit of an awkward moment. Then Launchpad interrupts their handshake to signal for them to go, scaring both.
• Scrooge being fed up by Tittertwill, but is so annoyed he can't pull of his signature alliterative insults.
  Scrooge: Vexatious bird! Stupid... bird! Urgh, I'm so mad I can't even alliterate!
• After spending an entire episode annoyed by the Tittertwill's antics, Scrooge finally gives in and imitates the bird's silly song and dance.
• Everything about J.W. Guidebook, but especially his "death" when he's burnt by lava.
  Huey: What is happening?!
  J.W. Guidebook: [on fire] I DON'T KNOW!! WHY ARE YOU IMAGINING THIS?!
  • Word of God's answer?
    "HE’S NOT GOOD AT IMAGINATION STUFF, OKAY?!"
• J.W. Guidebook's reactions to the Nandi bear are pure gold:
  J.W. Guidebook: [when first seeing said bear] Well, that is a pickle of a different color.
  J.W. Guidebook: [after said bear no-sells Huey's attempt to scare it off] Let's skedaddle, boy, that bear ain't got time for book-lovin'!
  • After the book's sudden death, it appears as a silent blue Force ghost during Violet's ceremony.
    • Stephen Root's performance as J.W. Guidebook really sells the concept- he's like a kid friendly Mike "The Hammer" Reardon in book form
• Not only do the Junior Woodchucks have a badge for "Failure", the well-meaning but clumsy Launchpad has a sash with a secret flap just to fit all his own failure badges.
• Huey panicking as the rock begins descending into the volcano and asking Violet for direction, as she’s now the Senior Woodchuck and "I RESPOND TO AUTHORITY!"
• Violet's dads having matching shirts that say "I'm with Dad."
• Louie's reaction to finding Isabella's treasure, which turns out to be her journal.
  Louie: The treasure is a book? Boo!
• It appears that the Phantom Blot makes a habit of wearing the Funso costume during F.O.W.L. meetings.
• The JWG being voiced by Stephen Root in the same voice he uses for Bud Gleeful, Mayor Toadstool and Buck Strickland.

Episode 2: Quack Pack!

• Huey is stressing over the family photo being perfect and tells Dewey not to have any shenanigans this time. Dewey's response?
  Dewey: I'll try, but I've shenanied once, I'll shenan-again. Zing! Dewble entendre!
  • Dewey them proceeds to hop backwards up the stairs on one foot as Huey just blankly stares at him.
• Scrooge scolding Louie for suggesting they charge money for people to watch Della jump off the roof. When he prings up how profitable it could be, Scrooge considers it for a second.
  Scrooge: For the last time, you cannot charge people money to watch Della jump off the roof!
  Della: But I used to jump off the roof all the time on the moon!
  Scrooge: Where there was no gravity.
  Louie: The more dangerous it is, the more money we can charge.
  Scrooge: [begins to say something then stops, and puts hand to chin] Hmm. Still no.
• The return of Don Cheadle as Donald's voice.
  Huey: Um, Uncle Donald? Does something feel...I don't know, off?
  Don Cheadle!Donald: [clears throat] Well, everything seems perfectly normal... to me.
  [audience cheers]
• Louie's reaction to Scrooge having lied about getting the study repaired:
  Louie: Oh my gosh, you lied! What a terrible example! All my future lies are now legally your fault.
• Della tells Louie to alert her and keep an eye out for Huey and Donald...and the two arrive before she finishes her sentence.
  Huey and Donald: [seeing the condition of the study] Wait, what?!
  Louie: They're coming!
• Huey starts freaking out as he spots all the sitcom elements like the laughter of the Studio Audience, the Fade to Black, and being forced to dance during the scene transitions.
  Huey: Where is that music coming from? Why are the lights fading? What is HAPPENING?!
  • Louie, Della and Scrooge have a magnificent Oh, Crap! moment when Huey asks if any of them have looked at the supposed fourth wall. The three slowly look up, into the camera... and a Reveal Shot cuts to a shadowy studio audience watching them.
    Della: Okay, that is a little weird.
• We're treated to four transitions featuring each of the kids throughout the sitcom episode. When we get to Huey....
  Huey: How did I get here?! WHY AM I DANCING?!
• The ridiculousness of the fake Pep commercial involves Gene the Genie trying to move a couch blocking traffic. The couch is then moved when a tidal wave of Pep floods the city, all while Gene casually enjoys a can of the stuff as the couch floats away much to the indignation of the drivers. Even better, the tidal wave begins by Pep spontaneously exploding out of a nearby building's windows and even somehow fills up a car by spewing out of the steering wheel.
• Webby interrogating Gene, whom she suspects to be a spy agent.
• The scene that introduces Goofy has some hilarious moments.
  • First there's the fact that he seems to be aware of the cheering studio audience.
  • Goofy announces that he came over to borrow some ketchup. He then proceeds to squeeze some out of a bottle and catch it in his back pocket.
    • Becomes even more hilarious once it turns out Gene brought the real Goofy into this wish reality. His first reaction to being randomly sent to an alternate reality was to go to Donald's family's house and borrow some ketchup.
  • When Donald points out that Goofy can help because he works as a photographer, Goofy decides to head back to the photography store and ask one of his co-workers for help. Just after Goofy leaves, he finally gets Donald's point, but thinks it was his idea.
• Gene hypothesizes the sitcom reality will last for a few more seasons, then receive several spin-offs and eventually a Darker and Edgier reboot. Not only is this lampshading what happened with the original DuckTales (1987), but the poster for the supposed reboot takes several shots at more recent TV reboots like Riverdale.
  • The poster features angsty/angry looking older versions of the triplets (Louie apparently knows magic, Dewey looks buff and is wearing a ripped shirt, and Huey's wearing sunglasses and has a tablet) while a sinister Scrooge does Finger-Tenting in the background. For all intents and purposes, this is probably what the original Quack Pack might have been if it'd been conceived in the 2010s.
• Beakley is incredulous to find that "I'm not a spy!" is her catch-phrase.
• Gene revealing he’s been stuck in the lamp for ages, specifically since the long ago year of... 1990^note When DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp was released.
• When the rest of the family starts calling Donald out for his wish, he's quick to try and defend himself.
  Louie: Uncle Donald, you wished for this?!
  [Laugh Track as Dewey forces himself in front of Louie]
  Donald: I wish for this five times a day! How was I supposed to know this time there'd be a lamp under me?!
  [Laugh Track]
• Dewey, naturally, doesn't mind if they stay in the alternate reality permanently.
  Dewey: Aw, it's not so bad, guys. We get to stay here where I'm a star and everyone thinks I'm hilarious. Sha-Dewey! Am I right?
  [Laugh Track]
• The family reacting and screaming in utmost terror when the studio audience reveal themselves as hyper-intelligent hairless apes i.e. humans.
  Huey: WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS?! HORRIBLE FLESH-FACED MONSTERS!
• Dewey (with a very Shatneresque delivery):
  Dewey: Self-esteem ... too low! Disapproval... my only weakness!
• One of Donald's photographs is a selfie of Louie while Donald is being carried off by a pterosaur, with Huey running after him, and Dewey is chased by a medium-sized tyrannosaurid. And the ducks are wearing their Quack Pack outfits in the selfie, meaning that this only happened in the sitcom reality even though it would be more atypical in the normal reality. Although it's possible the dinosaur and pterosaur aren't actual ones.
• How did Goofy and Max's day at an amusement park go? Goofy got stuck in a roller coaster at the top of a loop, fell out and was saved by Max only for Goofy to crash land into a cotton candy stand. On the plus side, the park gave them free admission for life and all the cotton candy they could eat!
• While beating the crap out of Launchpad's three dates, Beakley, Della and Webby offer them advice on how to have more self respect for themselves as women.
  Beakley: See here, young lady! Take that personal trip yourself! Discover who you are on your own!
  Della: Have some self-respect!
  Webby: You could find a better study partner than Launchpad! [to Launchpad] No offense, LP.
• In the chaos of searching for the lamp, Louie finds and gets attacked by his escaped pet snake.
  Dewey: Louie, why would you have this?!
  Louie: This is a poorly-conceived storyline!
  Gene: Everyone's a critic.
• When they find the lamp up on a chandelier, Goofy asks how are they gonna get up there. Cue a human woman suddenly growing sharp nails to poke Goofy on the rear, causing him to jump up high and grab onto the chandelier while yelling out his trademark holler.
• After Donald makes his second wish which is to undo the previous one, Huey checks to make sure they're back in their own reality.
  Huey: Say something funny, Dewey.
  Dewey: Something funny, Dewey.
  [Beat]
  Huey: Ah-ha! The sound of nobody laughing never sounded so good!
  [Dewey sulks in disappointment]
• The simple fact that rather than just make a magical fake, Gene teleported in the real Goofy from wherever he lives in the Ducks' world (likely Spoonerville, just as before, given it's been name dropped at least twice in the show so far) just so the magical TV show could have a star cameo for real.
  • Coupled with that is Goofy's expression of happiness at seeing the Duck Family together instead of freaking out over being plucked out of his home and placed inside a horrifying alternate reality at the whims of a genie and Donald's wish.
  • He also waves at the Ducks, and Launchpad is the only one who waves back, while everyone stares at Goofy in surprise.
• After Gene reminded Donald that he still has one more wish remaining:
  Louie: You wasted your last wish on having a stupid framed photo?! Well, how about infinite wishes?! Or another genie?! To become a genie yourself?! [angrish] There's like a million—! [more angrish]
  • The third one is more hilarious once you catch the reference. Louie, becoming a genie ain't that cool. Just ask Jafar.

Episode 3: Double-O Duck in You Only Crash Twice!

• Dewey invites Scrooge to play the "Double-O-Duck" VR game with him and Launchpad, talking about how it will be like having a globe-trotting adventure. Scrooge just gestures to himself, as if to say "Don't you realize who you're talking to?"
  • Also, the fact that Scrooge is at Funso's to pick up the kids...and Launchpad, who is Scrooge's chauffeur. Shouldn't Launchpad be picking him up?
• Apparently, the Phantom Blot masquerading as Funso isn't F.O.W.L.'s only connection to Funso's Funzone. The restaurant is actually the front for F.O.W.L.'s Elaborate Underground Base. How do you enter it? By jumping into the Ball Pit. This leads to the hilarious mental image of people like Bradford Buzzard, Black Heron or Phantom Blot going to council meetings by jumping into the Ball Pit.
• Black Heron trying to explain to Steelbeak how she used the Intelli-Ray.
  Black Heron: I centupled its intelligence.
  Steelbeak: [Stares at her with a blank look.]
  Black Heron: I raised its IQ.
  Steelbeak: [Shrugs]
  Black Heron: I made the dumb rat smart.
• That rat in question? Starts off as an unimpressive, mindless animal. Then we see the results, and it's Gadget Handwrench. The reveal alone is pretty hilarious. Doubly so consider the Rescue Rangers wind up foiling their plans here. Nice Job Fixing It, Villain
  • Steelbeak asking where Gadget got her jumpsuit from during Black Heron's demonstration.
    Steelbeak: Did the rat make that jumpsuit on a regular sewing machine, or did it build it on its own tiny sewing machine?
• There's something hilarious in how the Rescue Rangers are now all like Zipper, with only the characters in the show able to understand their squeaking.
• Launchpad and Steelbeak have a game of baccarat, which is simply throwing down random cards and saying the names of different card games, until Launchpad wins with "Checkmate." They both treat it as Serious Business while Dewey is just horribly confused.
  Steelbeak: Rrgh! Well played.
  Dewey: It was?
• While Launchpad and Steelbeak are fighting, Launchpad uses a pizza cart to knock Steelbeak out of the play area. Funso nearly gets knocked down by the cart as it goes through the wall. Even funnier if that was actually Phantom Blot.
• Scrooge's response to the idea of playing Whack-a-Mole.
  Scrooge: Pay to do someone else's yard work? Pass.
• Black Heron demonstrates the reverse function of the Intelli-Ray by zapping a couple of Eggheads, who then try to eat the Rubik's Cubes they were playing with. Steelbeak then thinks her plan is to make Scrooge so hungry he'll try to eat all the world's toys.
• Even an Egghead affected by the Intelli-Ray can tell that Steelbeak bringing Dewey and Launchpad to the F.O.W.L. base was a dumb idea.
• After winning a ton of tickets at skee-ball, Scrooge immediately goes into miser mode.
  Scrooge: Everyone wants a piece of my fortune! I'm gonna need some kind of ticket repository or safe or—!
  Webby: [deadpan] Ticket Bin?
  Scrooge: Yes! That will do it! [laughs maniacally as he rolls around in his ticket pile]
• Launchpad trying to figure out a way for him and Dewey to escape their cells, while completely oblivious to the Rescue Rangers putting the Ranger Plane together until they start flying it. Even when Launchpad sees them, he just helps the plane get more altitude instead of questioning the presence of rodents operating a flying vehicle.
• Scrooge insists on counting all his tickets by himself, muttering darkly at the exasperated ticket vendor as though he was a thieving rival prospector. He then expresses annoyance that he has to spend the tickets right then instead of hoarding them.
  Webby: Oh, it's too bad these tickets expire at the end of the day.
  Vendor: These tickets don't ex—
  [Webby GLARES at the vendor while shaking her head, putting a finger to her beak, and raising a pizza tray menacingly]
• Intelligence-drained Black Heron plays around with her robotic arm, revealing it has a tooth-brushing feature for some reason.
• Smart Launchpad gains a barely-there British accent, which gets worse as the episode goes on.
• One musclebound Egghead is superstitious to the point he refuses to enter a room marked 13.
• Steelbeak tries to make a pun about Launchpad landing in a pond, only for Dewey to correct him saying he fell into a bay. Steelbeak immediately screams "I'M NOT STUPID!"
• Dewey is... pretty less-than-pleased upon discovering the end objective of "game".
  Dewey: This is the end of the game? Some dumb lighthouse fight? This is a stu... [Steelbeak glares toward Dewey in annoyance] uuupendous plan! Please don't kill me, this is my last life and Uncle Scrooge only gives us like a nickel a week!
• Scrooge is reduced to sobbing as he realizes he spent tons more money winning the tickets than the prize he exchanged them for was worth.
  • The prize was a tiny mustache comb, something Scrooge can't even use as much, since he doesn't have a mustache.
• Smart Launchpad begging his regular self to tell Scrooge that F.O.W.L. is coming for the family from inside his head, before giving up and deciding to go for a soak.
• When Bradford is calling out Black Heron and Steelbeak for their scheme, he solves a Rubik's cube that one of the Eggheads was trying to eat earlier.
  Bradford Buzzard: We. Are. F.O.W.L. We have to be smarter than that. [begins working on the Rubik's cube] We're not trying to destroy the world. We're going to steal it. Right out from under McDuck's nose! [slams down the solved Rubik's cube, spraying saliva] Ew! Why was this wet?

Episode 4: The Lost Harp of Mervana!

• Huey is giving the big speech about Mervana instead of Scrooge, who says it's Huey's time in the spotlight. Then he immediately pops over and interrupts Huey, who in turn starts interrupting him until they finish gleefully in unison.
• Donald pays Della back for pushing him out of the spaceship seat last season, by taking over the sub while she's busy freaking out about fish.
• Louie has kept a tally of all the times the kids have been offered up as a sacrifice. Dewey has the most tallies by far.
  Dewey: Dewey's on top!
• Upon seeing the Mervanans for the first time, everyone, even the cynical Louie, reacts with awe and amazement. Well, almost everyone.
  [The alarm sounds]
  Computer: ARMING TORPEDOES
  Everyone: DELLA/MOM, NO!
• The fact that Alethria and Vero are voiced by Hynden Walch and Greg Cipes respectively. You can feel them channelling Starfire and Beast Boy.
• Scrooge scoffs at the Mervanans' care-free way of life, arguing that hardship builds character. He offers Donald (who throughout the scene is struggling with his oxygen tank in the background) as an example ("He's full of character!").
  • Scrooge may be grumpy about the Mervanans' lifestyle, but Donald takes to it really well, decorating a beautiful paper fin and learning how to meditate. Also turns out Donald can say "Namaste" perfectly clear.
• Scrooge having to prove himself worthy for the hippie Mervanans to learn their secrets and get to the Harp.
  Scrooge: I hate this.
  • As the family make their own mermaid fins for arts and crafts, Scrooge just draws a heart, a rainbow, and a dog playing a harp on Dewey's fin, to the latter's annoyance. When Alethreia tells him it's not his Truth, he throws the marker into the water in frustration.
    Alethreia: Also, please don't throw toxic markers into our waters.
    Scrooge: They're your markers!
    Alethreia: Uh-uh. They're ALL our markers. [sinks beneath the water's surface, as Scrooge starts fuming]
  • The Mervanans telling the family they're all worthy... except for Scrooge (still not wearing a fin).
    Alethreia: Your negative and judgemental attitude is what's keeping you from finding your Inner Truth.
    Scrooge: I don't want Inner Truth, I want outer harp!
    Alethreia: Until you all achieve your Truth, you will not find the knowledge you seek. Scrooge, back to the arts and crafts section.
    [Scrooge gives an incredulous look]
  • Scrooge decides to give in to the Mervanan culture, but when the merpeople ask if he’s ready to give up his worldly possessions...
    Scrooge: Sure, you can have my money... [angry, with Cross-Popping Veins] WHEN YOU PRY IT FROM MY COLD, DEAD HANDS. I can't just ignore the hard work of the world for some far-out, touchy-feely love-fest, dude.
  • The Mervanans recognize Scrooge's above rant as his Inner Truth and declare him worthy, only to his dismay, they admit they don't know where the Harp is. Just that they're expecting for King Honestus to come back one day.
    Huey: Could that one day be today? Or later today?
    Vero: Time is a construct.
    [Scrooge face palms]
• Mrs. Beakley has just told Webby that she's right about the Mervanans not having a sinister agenda. Then she covers Louie's mouth as she whispers to him that she suspects something is up. Louie's reaction is to raise his arms in triumph.
  • Earlier, Beakley tells that she believes the Mervanans are harmless because of personal experience she had with hippies back in "Operation: Flower Power" from her days at S.H.U.S.H., which she claims was groovy.
• To pass the time in the sub, Della plays tic-tac-toe with herself...and loses.
  Della: This is ridiculous. I should be out there with my family.
  Dewey: [emerges from the shadows wearing sack fins and covered in seaweed] Mom, look at my super-cool fins!
  Della: [gags] I have no family...
• Louie, Webby, and Beakley reach the Tower of Mervana where Louie is confronted by his greatest enemy: stairs.
• Louie is trying to take the Lost Harp back to Mervana to learn if the Mervanans have been lying to the family, but it's too heavy for him to even budge. Beakley hefts the Harp up in one arm.
  Lost Harp: You are very strong!
  Beakley: Correct!
  • Beakley tells Louie and Webby to go warn Scrooge and the others, but Webby is so depressed by learning that Beakley has been lying to her that Louie has to drag her along the ground, which he is able to do only marginally more successfully than moving the Lost Harp.
  • While trying to grab hold the Lost Harp, Louie monologues to himself what he has to do, ending off with, "possibly sell harp later." Understandably, the harp takes offense.
• When the mutated King Honestus attacks, Dewey asks Donald to unleash his famous temper, but he has adopted the Mervanans' peaceful attitude. Dewey snaps him out of it by saying that Donald's chili, which they have in the past claimed to love, is "just okay". Donald immediately flies into a rage.
• When Clan McDuck flees into the tunnels, Honestus roars in confusion, causing the Lost Harp to sing "They're over here!". Beakley and Scrooge give her Death Glares in response.
  Lost Harp: What? He asked, I had to answer with the truth. You know this!
• After the Mervanans return to the land and grow their legs back, they start flopping around on their bellies, as after spending so much time underwater they forgot how to walk.
• Scrooge is happy to leave the Harp with the Mervanans since it means she can keep telling the hippie mermaids to work hard and get jobs.
  Scrooge: A harp after my own heart.

Episode 5: Louie's Eleven!

• The Three Caballeros start the episode off performing in front of a black backdrop...which then reveals they have ambushed Scrooge while he's in the tub. After the inevitable reaction, it turns out this is the fourth time they've done this kind of thing.
• Before showing the Caballeros his scheme, Louie asks them to sign a contract that entitles him to a 50% cut of all their future revenue:
  Panchito: [snatches the contract]
  Donald: What?! We can't-
  Panchito: -I ALREADY SIGNED FOR YOU, DONALD!
  Jose: GIVE ME THE PEN!
  • Even better: In a Freeze-Frame Bonus you can see that Panchito actually wrote "DON" on the contract.
• Huey helping to forge an invitation to Emma Glamour's party... without realizing he was part of the scheme.
  Huey: HAH! And you said Caligraphy Camp was a waste of time!
  Louie: [kisses invitation, leaving an ink mark on his 'lips', chuckles] Hubert, it is perfect! Welcome to the scheme!
  Huey: What scheme?
  Louie: Nothing!
  Dewey: Tell no one!
• Gyro equips everyone with earpieces which he assures them are not experimental, that he's not using them as test subjects, and that they will not explode if they wear them too long.
• Louie tells Dewey that the plan will not go wrong as long as there are no surprises. Cue Falcon Graves throwing out Percival P. Peppington, who is making up flimsy excuses for why he doesn't have an invitation.
• Louie builds up how Dewey has an especially important job, which turns out to be harpy wrangler.
  Dewey: I could be doing more! How is this the perfect job for me?
  Louie: Because everyone else already had a job.
• Out of nowhere, Daisy flies into a Gosh Darn It to Heck! freakout over her coat getting stained. Of course, this just makes her even more attractive to Donald.
• Donald getting his foot caught in the elevator door.
• Donald, naturally, gets tangled up in Daisy's purse trying to get her stage pass.
• Panchito walks off screen to try and charm the female guard to let him on stage. He immediately returns sliding on his face.
• Manny the Headless Man-Horse bursts through the door and gallops full-on at Graves...and is immediately taken down in a single move.
  Graves: That was odd. [goes right back to threatening Glamour without missing a beat]
• Falcon Graves' epic Oh, Crap! upon discovering he's once again been unknowingly hired by Mark Beaks, which gets worse when it turns out the target is Beaks' own mother, causing him to do an aghast double take between them.
  Graves: [genuinely baffled] "Mom"?!
  Dewey: Huh. That actually makes a lot of sense.
• Beaks' Segway scooter catching fire and chasing Slash in the background.
• Dewey finally gets to show off his yo-yo tricks to distract Graves, Beaks and the goons. He hasn’t gotten any better, yet the crowd finds him compelling.
  Mark Beaks: Ugh, he is the worst!... but fascinating somehow?
  Falcon Graves: I want to look away, but I... can't.
• Webby compliments Gabby's dagger, prompting the merc to start describing its origin and relation to her backstory. Webby promptly interrupts by throwing a chair at her.
• Donald and Daisy break through the air vent to save the day. What does Donald say?
  Donald: Yippee ki-yay, Mr. Falcon!
  • Even funnier: that was an actual version of the line used in a TV dub of Die Hard 2.
• Falcon Graves' No-Holds-Barred Beatdown at the hands of Daisy Duck. Special props go to the moment she's about to smash a huge vase over his head, letting out a war cry worthy of any Valkyrie.
• Mark whining like a little kid that the party is boring.

Episode 6: Astro B.O.Y.D.!

• Launchpad announces that it's National S'mores Day, "a very real holiday according to one source on the internet."
• While it's sad to see Huey getting teased and bullied by the Beagle Woodchuck who compares him to a robot, it's a little funny, when the bully's impression mentions being low on oil, that he takes extra offense for not being compared to a modern robot.
• The irony of Huey affirming that he and B.O.Y.D. being by-the-book doesn't make them robots, while unaware that his new friend literally IS a robot, is made even funnier by B.O.Y.D. affirming that notion while lighting the campfire with Eye Beams behind Huey's back.
• B.O.Y.D.'s haywire lasers end up chopping down a couple trees, burning the tail tip of a squirrel, and melting Bully Beagle's s'more.
• Gyro orders Manny to get the "dangerous machine" (B.O.Y.D.) out of the lab. Manny clops, "Which one?"
• At Tokyolk, Gyro warns the others to keep a low profile. Immediately afterwards, Inspector Tezuka drives up in front of him and arrests him.
• Lil’ Bulb distracting Tezuka by spray painting graffiti in binary.
• Fenton tries to open the door to the abandoned lab with a precision blast with one finger from his Gizmosuit Arm Cannon.
  Fenton: Easy... eeeeaaassy... [blasts a huge hole through the door] …easy.
  • How does he put on only the arm cannon without activating the rest of the armor? "Bla." Apparently, Frank Angones has wanted to do this joke for a while.
• Fenton geeking out at being in Gyro’s first lab.
  Fenton: Was this your lab coat? Was this your stool? Was this your trinocular inverted metallurgical microscope? [gets dust in his eye] Ow, dust in my eye! The dust of genius!
• Huey attempts to ease B.O.Y.D.'s nerves regarding his memory scan.
  Huey: No need to be scared. Just a normal checkup where we jam wires into your computer brain to view your digital memories and...OK, this is not even a little normal.
• When Gyro says that B.O.Y.D./2BO is just a machine, Lil' Bulb gets so angry he shorts out.
  Gyro: I told you to get a travel adapter!
• B.O.Y.D.'s memory showing him interacting with his "brother," Doofus Drake.
  Doofus: No more gravy baths?! I'll show her! [tries to tear a pearl necklace with his teeth] B.O.Y.D.! Break this with your robo-muscles!
  B.O.Y.D.: Won't Mother be upset if we damage her necklace? I don't want to break anything.
  Doofus: Then why must you insist on BREAKING MY HEART?!
  B.O.Y.D.: I'm sorry. Do you need a hug?
  Doofus: [cringes] NO! It's attacking me with love!
• Fenton is so excited to get B.O.Y.D. out crimefighting that he blasts an exit hole in the wall... right next to the one he made to get them in.
  Fenton: [still running] In retrospect we probably should've used the first hole!
• If one can read Japanese, the sign for the "jewelery store" for some reason actually says "convenience store". There's just something amusing about the idea of a convenience store selling jewelery.
• Inspector Tezuka explains that she doesn't like robots because of the time Gyro and Akita "unleashed" B.O.Y.D. on the city. Fenton starts to protest that one of Gyro's inventions would never turn evil before trailing off and sighing defeatedly.
• Dr. Akita emerges ominously from his underground lair... and immediately winces and collapses from the sunlight.
  Dr. Akita: Now... the moment of reckoning shall be mi-AAAAAHHHHH!! Has the sun gotten brighter in the last twenty years?!
• While Gizmoduck and B.O.Y.D. are engaged in an epic High-Altitude Battle, Gyro and Dr. Akita ineffectually throw slaps at each other.
• Gyro hires Fenton on full-time, promoting him to doctor in the process. Fenton immediately and tearfully lampshades that that's not how doctorates work but he doesn't care.

Episode 7: The Rumble for Ragnarok!

• Huey's response to Scrooge's lecture on how Jormungandr threatens to destroy the planet once he releases his tail.
  Huey: Um, I have numerous science-based questions.
• The reason Scrooge wants to pass on the duty of defending the Earth to the triplets and Webby and not Della and Donald?
  Scrooge: Because [the triplets and Webby] are the new generation. Also, I don't trust Donald and Della to cooperate on a jigsaw puzzle, much less the fate of the universe.
• Just the way the battle against Jormungandr is hyped up. At first, it’s set up as a typical ancient ritual with Vikings chanting for the serpent's name to summon him... but it turns out it's nothing more than a wrestling match and the Vikings were just rooting for the champion.
  • According to Scrooge, professional wrestling copied this ancient tournament and not vice versa.
• Louie's decision to start selling T-shirts instead of wrestling himself. He even has a T-shirt cannon.
  Louie: Hmm... [evil grin, rubs hands together] Merchandising. Guess Louie knows what Louie's doing today.
  • And he has very specifically-themed shirts ready to go on cue.
    Scrooge: [deciding who will take his place after his chair injury] I don't know where Louie is.
    Webby: He's probably scared and devastated from seeing you get hurt.
    Louie: Get your "Scrooge gets hit with a chair" T-shirts here! Re-live Chair-mageddon, as a shirt.
    —
    [The audience chants "Stop the Pop!" against Dewey's ChamPopular persona]
    Louie: Stop the Pop! Get your "Stop the Pop!" shirts right here!
    Dewey: How did you know what character I'd come up with AND already make T-shirts against him?!
    Louie: I've known you my whole life, I kinda knew how this would play out.
• Scrooge's Heel wrestling persona is a goofy caricature of a money-pinching millionaire, complete with a Stock Money Bag he uses to collect taxes from the audience.
  • Even better in that this is reminiscent of his initial villainous role in the Carl Banks comics.
• Launchpad knows surprisingly much about pro wrestling. He admits he watches a lot of it while flying.
  Huey: Wait, while?
• Huey's godawful attempts as a pro-wrestling announcer.
  • One of his lines prompts a woman in the stands to shout, "We hate you now!"
  • Ironically, Launchpad is an excellent announcer, basically reversing their roles from "The Missing Links of Moorshire!"
  • He's nearly driven insane upon realizing he's actually playing Launchpad's usual role.
• Dewey in his ChamPopular persona throws three lollipops (all colored like the triplets' outfits) to the crowd in order to win them over. The lollipops just stick onto them since they're not covered over by wrappers, angering them even more.
  Woman: He's throwing lollipops because he thinks we're SUCKERS!
  Dewey: No! They're delicious!
• One of the Valhalla wrestlers is a parody of Hela...renamed to Hecka.
  • And Webby finds her tag partner Fenrir adorable.
    Webby: [Squees before grabbing Fenrir's cheeks] Oh, you're so dangerous and cute! I just wanna pet your widdle belly!
    [Fenrir grins and licks her]
• Webby's tirade against Jormungandr.
  Webby: Excuse me, Mr. Jormungandr. Big fan. If you would like a fight, allow me to introduce you to this fist. Her name is Lady Haymaker. And of course, her country cousin, the Duchess of Wailing. [...] And lastly, I will use the dust of your bones as sweetener in my tea. Thank you for your time.
• Beakley's completely abrupt, out-of-nowhere appearance to help Scrooge in the ring.

Episode 8: The Phantom and the Sorceress!

• Scrooge gently kicking the video game console out of the way so he can have room for his tea.
  • Then there's the newspaper he's reading. One side is the Woolstreet Journal saying "Shearholders Fleeced!" and the other talks about the Loren Ipsum Stone finally being translated.
• Scrooge effortlessly guessing what happened when the kids come out of the screen, followed by a monster from the game, barely reacting to all the mayhem.
  • Dewey shamelessly raising his hand when Scrooge surmises that someone made a wish around Lena.
• Webby and Violet have been keeping lists of things that will cause Lena's amulet to act up; as Webby is adding "playing video games", the amulet blasts her list into ashes. Violet casually takes out her own notebook and adds "writing lists"... and the amulet blasts the notebook.
  • Lena then scolds the amulet as if it were a misbehaving pet.
• This bit:
  Violet: Maybe we should stop having sleepovers.
  Webby: [glaring angrily at Violet] Maybe you should rethink that sentence.
  • Violet smiling when she says this adds to the scene.
• When Gladstone barges into the mansion, he's bursting into tears over his lost luck and becomes just as unlucky as Donald throughout the episode.
  • Gladstone is so used to having his luck get him everything he wants he can barely function as a normal person, whining about not getting free food just because he stepped inside a restaurant, about an ATM only spitting out one twenty dollar bill instead of a sack of rubies, or even about walking up one flight of stairs.
    Gladstone: IS THIS WHAT LIFE IS LIKE FOR YOU PEOPLE? [falls over despondantly and smacks his face into the floor] Ow! Why weren't there pillows there?!
  • His utter shock at the concept of places being closed.
  • A subtle one; Gladstone when he finds he needs money to pay for his dinner, Gladstone goes to the bank to get $20. According to the register, however, his meal would have come to $34. Apparently Gladstone is so used to just getting free $20 bills that he thinks that it's the only amount of money anyone ever needs or uses.
• Violet wears a garlic necklace in her sleep just in case of a vampire attack. "Statistically speaking, we're due."
  • And she briefly prepares to stake Gladstone when he arrives.
  • Magica eating the garlic (as in, six raw, whole cloves, all at once) just to spite her ("Now you're susceptible to vampires!"). Violet barely reacts other than just frowning at her.
• The reveal that Webby sleeps with a battle axe.
• Magica can't be bothered to remember Webby or Violet's names.
  Webby: ...we've met several times.
• Magica's response to finding out that Lena came with Webby and Violet to her house.
  Magica: [cheerfully] Lena!... [angrily] Give me the amulet! [lunges at her]
• Since her last appearence in "GlomTales!", Magica has made her home in a tree that she shaped into her head somehow and has filled it with pizza boxes.
  • This also serves as a hilarious callback to how Scrooge, when he was depressed, also filled his home with old pizza boxes; when Magica saw it, she was disgusted.
  • The fact that, despite all that pizza she had been gorging on, Magica is still thin as ever.
  • She even used one of the pizza slices to make a portrait of an angry face.
• When Magica tells him she can't bring him back his luck, Gladstone decides Screw This, I'm Outta Here. The next we see him, he's sitting on the floor crying because he doesn't know how to use a doorknob.
• During the Training Montage, Lena uses her magic to change her hair color to green, then orange, and then into a giant spider.
• Violet proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that she and Lena are sisters by immediately volunteering when someone needs to blast her with the amulet as part of her training.
• Lena briefly channels her magic to create a blue fireball that fizzles almost immediately.
  Magica: Woof. Even the girl without magic did better than that.
• Magica keeping the Blot distracted with basic magic tricks.
• Gladstone succeeds on his own in grabbing the amulet......but then he screws up and accidentally turns himself into Donald. Which he treats like a Fate Worse than Death.
• In the midst of the battle, Webby tells a snake to call for help. When Violet asks if she can speak to snakes, Webby replies, "I hope so!" Turns out she can, as the Phantom Blot is surrounded by snakes at the end.
• When the Blot is defeated and Gladstone's luck is restored, a couple of twenty dollar bills rain from above. He sobs in gleeful relief as he grabs them... then blows his nose on them and throws them away.
• Lena getting Sidetracked by the Analogy after blowing up the Blot's gauntlet.
• Magica landing in Gladstone's arms after her magic is restored.
  Gladstone: It appears magic is in the air!
  Magica: Put me down!
  [Gladstone, still standing in the bog, promptly drops her.]

Episode 9: They Put a Moonlander on the Earth!

• One of Webby's secret passageways around the mansion... leads to the inside of the kitchen fridge. No explanation is given as to why.
• Penumbra keeps getting surprised by people and banging her head while trying to fix her rocket.
• Penumbra is completely baffled by regular Earth family life, which incidentally causes Julie Bowen's performance to sound a lot more like Claire Dunphy.
• When Webby and Dewey decide to go check out the Flint-Ferris Glom-Wheel:
  Webby: What could go wrong?!
  Dewey: Hopefully everything!
• We get to see how Launchpad and Penumbra's coffee date went. It was abruptly cut short when Launchpad tried to strike up a conversation about Darkwing Duck and Penny found coffee to taste disgusting.
  • Gibbous and Zenith, on the other hand, don't seem to mind it, seeing as how they each got a cup for themselves.
• As a Call-Back to "The Golden Spear!", Gibbous and Zenith have gotten a dog and put snap bracelets on all four of its legs.
  • They also apparently named her “Good Boy”.
• After Penumbra smashes his slinky in a fit of pique, Gibbous says "Oh, look at the time!" then explains it's an Earth expression used when people need to leave in a hurry, which rather defeats the purpose.
• Penumbra immediately tossing the pretend-stone performer over the pier when he starts moving.
• The montage of Webby and Dewey trying and failing to get Penny to enjoy herself at the pier.
• Penumbra's reaction to Webby and Dewey feeding non-anthropomorphic ducks popcorn.
• Gibbous being utterly bad at getting sarcasm that it causes many problems to Glomgold, but Glomgold doesn't want to get rid of him because he's too lovable as a secretary.
• Glomgold reveals the Ferris Wheel is actually outfitted with a cannon meant to destroy Scrooge's home. The safety inspector isn't the least concerned because she knows the Ferris Wheel is so poorly built it will collapse on itself.
• Along with the paperwork for the safety violations and the damage to the pier his Ferris Wheel caused, the safety inspector gives Glomgold a thank-you note from Timmy Jenkins.
• Glomgold's cannonball lands on his foot, of course.
• Dewey's whole plan to upstage Timmy Jenkins by getting on national TV as a victim of one of Glomgold's rides, all the way up to failing miserably and breaking into hysterics. Then The Reveal that Timmy Jenkins was in on it the whole time and takes full pleasure in Dewey's failures.
• Penumbra referring to Dewey and Webby as 'The Small Dellas'.

Episode 10: The Trickening!

• Louie's idea of a Halloween costume is borrowing Huey's hat and going as his brother.
  Huey: You are a lazy costumer. Quit stretching my hat!
  Louie: We have the same head!
  • Dewey's costume is slightly more clever, going as a pirate on vacation by just wearing an eyepatch with a Hawaiian shirt. Later on, the were-duck correctly guesses it.
• Webby dresses up as Balor, the one-eyed demon of Irish mythology, which is obscure and therefore no one can guess what she is supposed to be. Not even the monsters.
• Scrooge's method of keeping trick-or-treaters away from his mansion: by leaving an empty candy bowl in front of the gate that will make them think all the treats have been taken.
  Scrooge: Oh, no. It appears someone has taken all the candy already. But who? It's a spooky Halloween mystery!
  • And that fact he does this when simply keeping the lights off would be enough to convey that just makes it extra petty.
  • Scrooge (dressed appropriately, no less) doing the Skeleton Dance on the way out is a sight to behold.
• Dewey jumps to some conclusions when Louie starts building up to his plan to visit just one place that will provide all the candy they want.
  Dewey: [excited gasp] We're going to a candy store?
  Louie: [annoyed] No, it's nighttime, candy stores are closed.
  Dewey: [shaking Huey by the shoulders)] WE'RE GONNA ROB A CANDY STORE?!
• Dewey's plan for what he's going to do with his share of the lifetime supply of candy.
  Dewey: With my cut, I could finally open that 24-hour candy store I've been dreaming of since ten minutes ago!
• After escaping some evil living dummies, Louie tries to psyche himself up to keep going with the prospect of "Candy for life".
  Dewey Puppet: Candy for death!
  Louie: Don't you turn my motto back on me!
• Launchpad's flashback begins with him crashing his tricycle, which has somehow caught fire. At the end of the flashback, he rolls into a bush... which also catches fire.
• When Della realizes from Launchpad's testimony that he thinks Halloween is a curse he unleashed upon Duckburg by reading an "incantation" (actually the ingredients list of a candy wrapper), causing minute spirits and demons to manifest every year on Halloween and as a result, tries to fight them off in a hockey mask with a chainsaw every year, she doesn't bother to correct him. Instead, she gets excited by the opportunity to traumatize children. Donald's shocked reaction is what sells it.
  • What follows afterward is Donald being the Only Sane Man and the usual Papa Wolf as he strictly forbids Della from adding more fuel to the fire only for Della to violently reject it and fights her brother again.
    Della: But I must!
  • When Della realizing that Launchpad might legitimately hurt anyone in costumes. Donald's also giving her a look that obviously means "I told you so."
    Della: Oh no! He's gonna hurt everyone! Now is not the time to decide who was wrong about what. We gotta stop him!
• And then things start to escalate when Scrooge makes Launchpad's place as his next stop for trick-or-treating.
  Scrooge: Trick or treat!
  Launchpad: GO AWAY!
  Scrooge: I said, trick or treat!
  Launchpad: NEITHER!
  Scrooge: Candy-hoarder, eh? You won't stop the Guileful Guiser of Glasgow! [starts banging on the barrier with his bone]
  Launchpad: They're breaking in! They're getting even bolder!
• Launchpad defeated Scrooge by repeatedly slamming him inside a candy bag. Keep in mind that many had tried to defeat Scrooge during their encounter but Launchpad took a few minutes to put him in a world of pain.
  • When Launchpad leaves, Scrooge's arm rips out of the bag...to collect his dropped candy into the bag.
  • Even better. The way Launchpad bashes Scrooge around is reminiscent of the "Put out the Darkwing!" scene.
• This exchange when Dewey notices a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl crawling out of a well.
  Dewey: Ahoy, starboard aside?
  [The others look in the opposite direction from the monster]
  Dewey: Sorry. I mean portside?
• The fact that the Blob Monster is not only the real deal unlike the other initial monsters, but is also the one in charge of the special effects, even wearing a film crew member's hat.
  • Just the fact that the monsters were wearing costumes over their normal monster forms.
• The monsters explaining how they spend Halloween, which they ironically don't have a high opinion of.
  Huey: Who are you guys?
  Louie: More importantly, where are you hiding the candy?!
  Witch Hazel: You brats are supposed to bring the offering! Candy's the only good reason to celebrate this holiday that is, frankly, pretty offensive to monsters.
  Nosferatu: So for centuries, we trick kids into coming here. For scares so terrifying, they drop their sweets.
  Dewey: So you're like, candy thieves?
  Nosferatu: Hey! Can't go out in the daylight. Not like there's some 24-hour candy store somewhere.
  Dewey: That's what I've been saying!
  • The fact that the monsters are perfectly willing to just buy their own candy if there's a store available for them.
• The Wolf-Duck doesn't get why people these days are scared of things like evil clowns, living puppets, and little girls crawling out of wells ("What is wrong with you guys?"). The Frankenstein's Monster delivers a surprisingly articulate analysis guessing it's based on fears of looking childish and the lack of control that came with being a kid.
• For all their scoffing at "modern" horrors, the monsters end up getting terrified by more "modern" horrors as psychos wearing hockey masks, Creepy Twins standing in hallways, and maniacs smashing through a door before showing their face in the hole.
  • This exchange through a door as the monsters are hiding from said psycho in a mask and Creepy Twins.
    Donald: Hey! Have you seen our friend Launchpad?
    Wolf-Duck: What is that horrible garbled moaning?! He's possessed!
    Donald: Oh, hi Launchpad! [Launchpad's fist comes through the wall]
• Some Black Comedy ensues when Launchpad closes in on the monsters and steps on the now-inanimate Dewey puppet...
  Launchpad: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO DEWEY?!!
• Launchpad reading the ingredients list on a candy wrapper like a magic spell thinking that it will undo the "curse" he "unleashed" years ago. It obviously does nothing.
  Launchpad: Monosodium glutamate, sucrolose, polysorbate, blue 52, fructose, corn syrup, artificial flavoring!
  • The "100% done with this" looks on Della and Donald's faces as Launchpad does the above.
  • And then when the monsters don't disappear like Launchpad was expecting and instead start complimenting him on being so scary, Della finally reveals he has no idea what Halloween is in the most deadpan voice possible.
• To save the kids Scrooge agrees to finally hand out treats, showing a massive line of people at the mansion. Webby is impressed with his generosity... until she realizes he must be getting something out of it; Scrooge is making them pay for the candy.
  • The monsters are, of course, taking part in the line for candy, with the wereduck expressing excitement that Scrooge is giving away full candy bars.

Episode 11: The Forbidden Fountain of the Foreverglades!

• While Scrooge and Goldie get turned into teenagers thanks to the Fountain of Youth, Webby slowly starts to take on stereotypical old people traits...completely by chance (picking up Scrooge's cane, getting her back hurt after tripping). She even picks up some of Scrooge's speech patterns (alliteration, "Curse me kilts").
  • Goldie, when suggesting she and Scrooge ditch Webby, calls her "old lady Vanderquack." And when Goldie calls Webby a geezer to her face, Webby rightfully points out she's still younger than them.
  • Brought back at the very end, when everyone's normal ages are being restored, and Dewey offers the last of the water to Webby since she looks terrible; Webby replies grouchily that she didn't age, she just injured herself and was having a bad day.
• Scrooge and Goldie's kiss gets interrupted by Webby trying to drive away an alligator, repeatedly smacking it on the snout with Scrooge's cane.
  • The gator briefly looking annoyed as she does this is what really sells it.
• Every scene with Rockerduck in it is considered to be chuckle worthy since he is carried around like a baby throughout the episode with Frankenstein Jeeves doing his every command including slapping his own foot to Scrooge's face.
• When Rockerduck is restored to normal, he does a small victory dance complete with Jeeves helping him before Scrooge bashed his face.
• Frustrated by Dewey forcibly claiming his role of oldest brother, Huey decides to show him what it's like to have a younger brother like Dewey, defying his orders and starting up an angry game of ping-pong.
  Huey: Let's Hue this!
• Louie deducing, and anti-climatically revealing, that the hotel manager is Ponce de Leon and he's been using the fountain waters to steal people's youth. Huey and Dewey's fight is abruptly cut off by this.
• Ponce de Leon's reason for building the resort to lure people into the Fountain.
  Ponce de Leon: Nobody wants to follow a creepy old man into a swamp.
• After Leon ensnares the boys in a rubber pool floatie (which he plans to charge them for when he makes them old), Dewey offers to free them by chewing through the rubber. When Goldie finds them later on, he is still gnawing on the floatie, and he barely made any effort.
• When Scrooge and Goldie charge into the resort demanding to know what Leon did with the Fountain, the annoyed lion just wonders out loud "Oh, what is it with kids figuring me out today?!"
• Goldie expressing her disgust that the fountain water is being used for the resort's swimming pool. Or, in her words: "Ugh, gross!!! We drank nasty pool-people juice!!!" Leon angrily responds that he filters it, since this is a five-star resort.
• Rockerduck is back to the fitness he had as a young man! Too bad for him he’s still not remotely a physical threat as Scrooge knocks him silly with one punch.
• Goldie's Big Damn Heroes moment sees her force-feeding fountain waters to Jeeves, causing him to turn into a baby. Who's still clearly a Frankenstein monster. The newly-young Rockerduck is forced into ignoble retreat after swaddling his now-infant lackey.
  Rockerduck: Man alive, are all infants this heavy or just the Frankenstein ones?
  • To make it funnier, Rockerduck could've simply submerged Jeeves in the pool water to aged him back but he would probably won't be able to pull an adult Frankenstein Jeeves out of the water.
  • As soon as Rockerduck leaves, Scrooge, Goldie, and Leon continues their fight as if Rockerduck isn't important to them.
• Scrooge refuses to stay young if it means fobbing off his old age onto someone else who doesn't deserve it..."even if they are a... [sigh of disgust] teenager."
• After witnessing Ponce de Leon's horrific Karmic Death, Louie comments that someone needs to clean up the pool, while trying not to throw up.
• Judging from the sign advertising the youth water, Louie tried charging everyone $5 to be restored to their proper age before Scrooge forced him to give it out for free. You read that right, Scrooge McDuck is giving something away for free.

Episode 12: Let's Get Dangerous!

• In the limo ride over, Dewey and Launchpad try to be clever about Drake's secret life and make several unsubtle puns about it. Naturally, Louie and Huey immediately figure out their secret is that Drake is Darkwing Duck.
• "I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am..."
  • "...the toddler kicking the backseat of crime!"
  • "...the last soggy bite of the cereal of sin!"
• Darkwing makes his Dramatic Entrance to the episode by leaping off the bridge tower... only to screw up swooping with his cape and tumbling down the support beam, landing in the river below.
• Taurus Bulba shows himself to be quite the charming fellow before he's revealed to be a villain.
  Taurus: And you must be Huey!
  Huey: You know me?
  Taurus: Junior Woodchuck robotics champ four years running? I'd hire you right now if you weren't too short for the labcoats! And Louie! Huge fan of Louie Inc.! Groundbreaking stuff, young man.
  Louie: We were really doing good work, until a monster tried to kill me.
  Taurus: You know, I have a grizzled old monster after my money, too! But enough about Bradford!
  (Everyone shares a laugh, including Scrooge)
• Launchpad is excited that his friend Drake is living the dream of becoming a real-life superhero.
  Launchpad: This is like every dream I've ever had, only my hands aren't made of waffles... right? [licks his hands, looks disappointed] Aw...
• Launchpad had Fenton hook up Drake with a slew of hi-tech crimefighting equipment, including a supercomputer with an A.I. assistant. We then find out Drake has no idea Fenton and Gizmoduck are one and the same and he continues praising the former while mocking the latter throughout the episode. At several points, Fenton even video calls him while out fighting crime as Gizmoduck and Darkwing never realizes Fenton is inside the suit.
  • The Oh, Crap! expression Dewey and Launchpad share when DW compares Gizmoduck and Fenton is hilarious as well.
  • Darkwing working with Fenton to help Gosalyn find her grandfather is unknowingly doing the one thing he'd never do... work with Gizmoduck.
• Speaking of that A.I. assistant DW gets, W.A.N.D.A. is a highly-sophisticated program designed to help Darkwing in any situation, anyway she can. Which of course means she's a snarky, sarcastic foil that always has something to say when she gets a chance.
• Scrooge doesn't remember Darkwing at all, despite the latter starring in a movie his studio was producing and switching clothes with him during the moon invasion.
• Darkwing continues the trend of past appearances by getting battered by exaggerated slapstick, much like the original Darkwing Duck cartoon. At one point he's forced to cram himself into Taurus Bulba's filing cabinet and comes out of it looking and sounding like an accordion.
• When Darkwing, Launchpad, and Dewey are confronted by security after chasing off Gosalyn:
  Huey: I thought if any of us would ever be arrested, it'd be Louie!
  Louie: I'm as surprised as anyone.
• While Gosalyn explains to DW that her grandfather is in another dimension, Launchpad can be seen in the background riding Taurus like a rodeo bull.
• While Taurus hurling Scrooge into another reality is nightmarish, it immediately becomes funny since the reality Scrooge was sent to was one where a sea monster ate his ice cream.
  • When the triplets confront Bradford, you can still hear Scrooge repeatedly yelling this in the background!
  • When Scrooge & The triplets are rescued, their immediate reactions.
    Scrooge: A sea monster did NOT eat my ice cream!
    Huey: What happened!?
    Louie: What does "quackaroonie" even mean!?
    Dewey: Why were our heads so round!?
• Drake's response to Launchpad blaming himself for the Fearsome Four attacking since he wished every day that the Darkwing Duck show was real is to grab him by the collar and start shaking him.
  Darkwing: Why have dreams when they turn into nightmares?!
• When seeing the Fearsome Four, each one is manhandling a police officer... namely Bonkers!
  • This also has Gosalyn trying to amp up Darkwing by downplaying all the villains as something mundane. But she's got nothing when they get to Megavolt.
  • The implication is not only that Bonkers was a regular character on the Darkwing Duck show, but his sole purpose was to be an Expectation Lowerer.
  • It gets even funnier considering it couldn't have been that long since the Fearsome Four showed up, meaning in that short span, Bonker went through one horrific encounter, then just went to try something casual like drinking water or changing a lightbulb, only to be met with another bad guy. Ouch.
• When Drake agrees to go after the Fearsome Four and says his iconic catchphrase, Gosalyn and Launchpad immediately cheer. Which he then adds "in the safest way possible", prompting Gosalyn to boo. Even more hilarious is her expression and pose, which Launchpad just lifts her into the sidecar and puts a helmet on her.
• While infiltrating an abandoned toy warehouse to catch Quackerjack, Launchpad notes that the situation reminds him of a Darkwing Duck episode. He and Drake try to recall what happened and decide to literally start at the beginning by singing the theme song together.
• Dewey singing his own version of the Darkwing Duck theme song, and Bradford reluctantly providing imaginary saxophone.
• Launchpad tries to start up a conversation with Gosalyn by mentioning it's a "nice night" while looking at St. Canard. Cue people screaming, explosions, and sirens in the city as Quackerjack's mecha walks by.
• Darkwing goes by himself to confront Bulba... by simply walking up to the building's front door. Bulba and the Fearsome Four, who have gotten used to Darkwing's dramatic entrances, are left utterly confused by what he's doing.
  Liquidator: He usually does this whooole thing with smoke bombs and the-the speech.
  Quackerjack: I've never seen him just... stand there.
• Launchpad and Gosalyn pose as C-list Darkwing Duck villains to get past the Fearsome Four.
  Gosalyn: This is a dumb plan. I immediately regret it.
• To maintain his cover, Bradford is at one point forced to swallow his transmitter. Then just as the boys start demanding answers he starts coughing it up.
  Dewey: Oh no, we killed him!
• Darkwing giving Gosalyn a window to stop the Ramrod provides this exchange:
  Darkwing: You get to the Ramrod! We've got this!
  Gosalyn: You're an actor and a Launchpad! How are you going to stop four supervillains?
  Darkwing and Launchpad: Well, technically Bushroot isn't really a villain, per se...
  Gosalyn: [gasps] That's right, I keep forgetting you're nerds!
• How do the triplets and Scrooge find out that Bradford Buzzard is part of F.O.W.L.? Black Heron comes to pick him up in a helicopter with the organization logo plastered on it! Bradford's reaction has never been more justified!
  Heron: Oh, I suppose you'd rather fly around in an unmarked helicopter.
  Bradford: YES!
• Launchpad decides to join Darkwing and Gosalyn’s crimefighting operation.
  Launchpad: I'll spend my days in Duckburg, my nights in St. Canard, and I'll sleep on the drive over!
  • Darkwing and Gosalyn's expressions really sell that line.

Episode 13: Escape from the Impossibin!

• When Webby and Mrs. Beakley discuss F.O.W.L. with Huey, Dewey, and Donald, Webby shows the backside of the whiteboard listing potential traitors. Among them is Donald, much to his surprise. He later tries wiping himself off the whiteboard, somehow not even making a smudge before sending himself spinning on the whiteboard and falling on his face.
  Mrs. Beakley: The traitor is probably not Donald.
  • The other suspects on the board are: Lil Blub, Fenton, a Beagle Boy named Bluescreen and Louie (which could be a Call-Back to Louie's position as the "Evil Triplet").
  • The scene is also intersected with Della and Louie being briefed by Scrooge, who goes on a rant about Bradford before the scene cuts back to Webby and Beakley.
    Scrooge: Bradford Buzzard. The head of my board of directors and my most trusted business partner was solicitously spying like a sanctimonious snake of secrecy sinisterly slithering in slimy-!
• "I am Webby, bringer of death."
• Throughout the episode, Dewey is lugging around a large sword too heavy for him to even hold upright, let alone swing. Then, Webby is able to pick it up with no difficulty.
• The "Impossibin" is revealed to have built by Duckburg's most dangerously demented minds: Gyro and Quackfaster.
  Louie: Is it weird that "the most dementedly dangerous minds" are all friends of ours?
  • Scrooge's reward for Louie and Della if they manage to survive with some semblance of sanity left? He'll buy lunch.
    Louie: [worried] He really does not expect us to make it.
  • Scrooge actually being upset at him, Della, and Louie continuing to survive the security system rather than being pleased about them actually, you know, surviving.
    Louie: We're alive! We did it!
    Scrooge: Ugh, lousy ineffective deathtrap.
    Louie: That is a good thing!
• While Beakley is talking to Webby, Huey and Dewey, Donald can be seen through a window slipping down a ladder, hitting his head on every rung.
• Webby continuously assaults both Huey and Dewey until they become paranoid, until Huey felt like it was a Secret Test of Character, which eases him a bit. Then Webby appears and attacks them for real.
• Huey, after witnessing the Other Bin (having no foreknowledge of its existence until now) is having a slight mental breakdown because he now feels woefully unprepared. He heads to his room and Dewey tries to comfort him with an uplifting speech... then the real Dewey walks in. The Dewey that was talking to Huey shakes out her hair and reveals that she was Webby the entire time, all the while wearing an evil grin on her face and swapping between her normal voice and Dewey's. Huey is understandably left a gibbering mess after this.
  Webby: Also, I've perfected the art of impersonation. [Dewey voice] Boom, dew-ppleganger!
• Della and Louie's first strategy for the invisible sawblades room is to splash the blades with the rather large amount of Pep sodas Louie's carrying in his hoodie, but they quickly run out due to Louie chugging them all ("Sorry, trying to survive makes me thirsty.")... but later on one last can drops out of his hoodie during the fight with the Scrooge robot.
  Della: You had another can of Pep this whole time?!
  Louie: It's Cherry Pep! Do you know how hard it is to find Cherry Pep?
• Scrooge having a great deal of fun taunting Della and Louie as they struggle with the traps.
  Louie: This is hard enough, do you have to insult us?
  Scrooge: Yes, yes, yes, making you feel bad is all part of the trap.
• Della venting her anger about Gyro.
  Della: Another classic Gyro failure, along with his weird tiny glasses and his dumb tiny hat and his complete inability to perform even the basic functions required to pass for a human being!
  [Lil Bulb goes red while Della pulls a Comical Angry Face]
  Louie: Wow, Mom, you had that Gyro insult locked and loaded, huh?
  Della: A man makes you chew black licorice for a decade, you come up with some insults!
  • At no point does Della take a breath during her rant, which makes it even more hilarious!
• The final trap is a robot programmed to fight like the greatest warrior of the past century. Yep, it's a robot Scrooge McDuck.
  • Scrooge is unimpressed with how the robot looks, especially considering how much money he put into it. He's much more satisfied when it transforms into a taller, more impressive looking robot.
• To get Della to tap into her anger, Scrooge invokes her Berserk Button by "innocently" suggesting that Donald is a better adventurer than her, which sends her into a complete Angrish rage.
• Before Bradford takes over the mech, Scrooge defeats it by using his cane as a pogo stick
• When Webby finally attacks the boys, she takes out Dewey with bolas, to which he responds with blissful relief that the terror of waiting for the attack is finally over. Then when Webby and Beakley start fighting, he (still tied up) scooches over to Huey on his stomach with a big grin on his face.
  Dewey: This is exciting and horrifying!
• The sheer confusion on Bradford and Gandra's faces when they realize that the robot is getting angry.
• Goldie complains to Scrooge that he supposedly broke their promise to leave the Fountain of Youth alone... except she only found out it was stolen because she was going to steal it herself. The fact that Goldie is shouting at him down a phone seems to terrify Scrooge.
• Gee, I wonder who it was who stole the plans for Solego's Circuit from Darkwing Duck?^*  Steelbeak
  Darkwing: Some bruiser with a steel beak, didn't catch his name...
  • And the most hilarious part of it is? While Darkwing is calling Scrooge to warn him about the theft, he's busy checking out his injuries in a mirror! He may be a Nice Guy this time around, but old DW is still obsessed with his good looks.
• Gene uses the classic "phone" hand gesture as an actual phone.
  • Also, unlike the other artifacts, Gene himself wasn't already stolen by the time he called Scrooge, he called while he was being stolen!

Episode 14: The Split Sword of Swanstantine!

• Scrooge briefs the triplets and Webby on the Sword of Swanstantine and tells them they need to work as a family to get it. It's only then that he notices that Violet and Lena are there too.
  Violet: We were sleeping over and you said "Everyone in the plane!" So we got in the plane.
  • When Scrooge asks them if they like history:
    Lena: Meh.
    Violet: It is my life.
  • This also means that Violet and Lena spend the whole episode in their pajamas. This includes when they get armor from the sword.
    • As the kids are splitting up Violet asks if she should change before being dragged away by Louie.
• Scrooge moves to attack who he thinks is Black Heron in disguise, but turns out to be just a random local woman. Said woman, offended, proceeds to slap him in the face with her purse, then slams him into the ground with a German Suplex before walking off.
  • Black Heron showing up behind the stand after Scrooge recovered adds to the hilarity.
• When Gandra Dee scans Webby and Dewey with her Robo Cam, Dewey's threat level is listed as "meh..."
• While temporarily blinded, Dewey and Webby endure an intense, action-packed climbing scene with the doofiest Fish Eyes animation can offer. The whole scene bounces between epic, chilling, and downright hilarious.
  • Dewey mistakes a snake for a cat and names it Fluffy.
    Dewey: ...You're like one of those hairless helper cats, right, Fluffy?
    [snake hisses threateningly]
    Dewey: He said "yessssss"!
• Since she and Louie are looking for the part of the sword that’s in "The Underworld" Violet brings the coins necessary to pay the ferryman of the River Styx, also she found an axe. Violet thought that they were literally going to the afterlife.
• As Violet and Louie walk down to the Spice Underworld, they pass a picture of Glomgold captioned "Do not accept checks from this man."
• When everyone at the Spice Underworld turns on Rockerduck, he desperately asks them not to touch him because he has money. After thinking it over, he asks them not to touch that either.
• After an impressed Louie ask Violet how she was able to swallow all that spice, she replies, "Tibetan Focus Techniques, and a member to the Spice-of-the-Month Club. Also my mouth is on fire - excuse me." She promptly dunks her head in a nearby water trough and screams.
  • Violet letting out a high pitch scream, which is cut off by the next scene, is hilarious in itself.
  • Louie was actually fairly impressed with the two explanations Violet gave up until the point she goes for the dunk, then his face is just frozen in horror. Bonus points in that he stays horrified as the scene change.
• Huey's scenarios for defeating Steelbeak get more ridiculous and desperate, including offering him a bucket of bolts to eat instead of taking the blade (Steelbeak eats the whole bucket and then the bucket itself before attacking again); hiding the blade of the Sword (which is twice as long as he is tall) behind his back and saying "What sword?"; and pretending to be Steelbeak as a kid.
  • Huey's attempt at a Wounded Gazelle Gambit.
    Huey: [crying like a baby] Please sir, no! Don't hurt me! This blade is all I have! And, and, I love you?
    [Steelbeak punches him]
  • Lena getting more and more fed up with Huey not fighting to the point where she goes on her phone.
• Huey's chaotic side, the Duke of Making A Mess, returns from "The Infernal Intership of Mark Beaks" and "Happy Birthday, Doofus Drake!".
• As the F.O.W.L. agents leave, Rockerduck says "You'll be hearing from my lawyer... right after he thaws!"
• Scrooge's swordfight with Heron is interrupted by a waiter asking if either of them have a reservation at the restaurant. Both are caught completely off guard, and when Heron asks Scrooge if he made any reservations, he shrugs, just as confused as she is.
  • What makes this even funnier is that it implies someone has, indeed, made a reservation under both of their names on at least one occasion before!
    • Wait... It was Glomgold, wasn't it? Yeah... yeah, that's probably right.

Episode 15: New Gods on the Block!

• Scrooge and the kids are ready to retrieve the Helmet of Hengis Khan... cut to them returning to the mansion in utter defeat.
  Dewey: Let's Dewey this!
  [cut]
  Dewey: Aw, I told you to Dewey this!
  • Then there's Della effortlessly recounting how Scrooge reacts to failed adventures after this;
  Della: The rare failed Scrooge adventure. First comes wallowing.
  [cut to an outside shot of Scrooge looking out the window with a dramatic music sting]
  Scrooge: [sorrowfully] Decaaaades of searching!
  [cut to Della and the kids as Della counts to two on her fingers]
  Della: Then anger...
  [cut to Scrooge again, this time staring out the window angrily]
  Scrooge: [angrily] Agh, who wants a dumb helmet, anyway?!
  [Cut to a shot of everybody as Della gestures towards Scrooge as he shakes himself]
  Della: Then he shakes it off...
  [Scrooge turns and picks up his cane]
  Scrooge: I'll show those malignant mealworms or my name isn't...
  Della and Scrooge: Scrooge McDuck!
• Selene invokes severe Mood Whiplash in two sentences:
  Selene: [dramatically] The King of the Gods is no more!! [breezily] Hi, Della!
• Della successfully argues that the kids are still more mature than Zeus.
  Zeus: Are not!
  Dewey: Are too!
• Donald cleans up his houseboat by throwing the garbage bags into the pool, with weights to keep them submerged.
• Without his powers, Zeus can't even open a folding chair. Which doesn't stop him from ineffectually trying to "smite" the kids when Dewey pokes him awake.
• As Daisy leans into Donald in a hug, Storkules is behind them readying Cupid's arrow. Donald sees and shakes his head, only for Storkules to misinterpret his disproval and bring out more arrows. Donald then shakes his head harder, only for Storkules to nod his head just vigorously.
  • You can also see Cupid, who's a pig in this universe, hogtied next to Storkules.
• When Della tries to encourage the kids as the auditions begin:
  Della: Alright, my shining stars, show 'em what you can do! Who cares what Ol' Man McDuck thinks, ehh?
  Huey/Dewey/Louie: Me!/I do!/Me too!
  Webby: IT CONSUMES ME.
• During Webby's trial, Glomgold is hogging a kiddie ride. Webby concentrates the power of the sun on him, causing the ride to turn red-hot and sending Glomgold running off screaming. A little later Glomgold steals a kid's soda to cool himself off.
  • Afterwards, she loses her temper and grows Drunk with Power as she hysterically destroys everything with lightning, demanding everyone be friendly.
• Zeus contacts his brother Hades and tries to talk him into releasing the undead. Hades instead mocks him for his loss of power and that all the other gods know about it.
  Hades: It's hilarious!
  Zeus: You're hilarious! (hangs up)
  • Even better. Hades along with Poseidon and Athena are using smartphones and texting with each other, while Zeus has to use a corded phone at the manor.
• Continuing the Running Gag, a depressed Louie orders a ton of pizza to gorge on. Without any toppings.
  Louie: Hello, I'd like to order a ton of pizzas. [listens] No, we don't deserve toppings.
  • After the adults are spit out by the Titan, Selene suggests ordering pizzas. And that she’s using Della's shower.
• Zeus regains his powers and uses a single lightning bolt to "defeat" the titan, who’s already defeated, and pushes him back to the underworld. However, he then loses his footing and falls down as well, to Hades's gleeful surprise.

Episode 16: The First Adventure!

• The episode opens with Agent 22 arresting Black Heron for trying to blow up Mt. Neverrest. Black Heron however claims she was only trying to carve her face into it.
• Bradford's presentation to Von Drake includes slides of a diagram shaped like a fist. Definitely didn't help prove his plan wasn't evil.
• The reason why F.O.W.L. got its name was because Black Heron refused to join Bradford unless he added the F (Fiendish) to it.
• Just like how the original Huey, Dewey and Louie were first introduced to Donald in the comics, Donald and Della are left with Scrooge by their mother after their father was hospitalized by a firecracker left accidentally(?) under his chair.
  Hortense's letter: "The little darlings are so playful."
• To show how much of a Butt-Monkey he was even as a kid, Donald has both eyes poked when his guitar strings snap.
• Duckworth wants payment for overtime in exchange for taking Donald and Della off Scrooge's hands. When Scrooge asks if he's made of money, the limo hits a bump, and coins spill out of his pockets.
• After Donald sings a riff insulting Scrooge, he sheepishly adds, "Still please take us [on the trip]."
• Scrooge agrees to take the twins on his expedition on one condition: Donald's guitar stays behind. Donald declares, "You can't mute me, old man!" so Scrooge tosses the guitar out the limo and into a trash bin.
• After ditching Scrooge and the twins in the plane, Black Heron boasts that there's no way that they could possibly land it and survive... and cue Della managing to do just that and the family celebrating while the two F.O.W.L. agents watch. Her Stunned Silence is what sells it.
• Throughout the entire episode, Black Heron constantly undermining Bradford's attempts at Pragmatic Villainy through her gleeful showboating and Bond Villain Stupidity.
• Donald spends a lot of the episode improvising songs insulting Scrooge. At one point after Scrooge tells the twins a story of an old adventure and Donald starts warming up to him, he starts a new song a bit more complimentary...
  Donald: Rich uncle - Not so bad - Was a mis-understood hero...
  [Scrooge smiles]
  Donald: BUT NOW he's a greedy husk of a duck! - DEAD IN-SIIIIIIDE!
• When Black Heron animates the skeleton of Yellowbeak to fight Scrooge, Yellowbeak makes an ominous declaration...which Heron ruins by running away like Daffy Duck in the background.
  Black Heron: So long, suckers!
• At one point Heron seemingly throws Della to her death over the mountain, in full view of Donald. The boy proceeds to do exactly what he will become famous for - erupt in fury and then dives at Heron.
  • Once Della climbs back up, she starts to tell Donald she's fine, only to notice the beatdown he's giving Heron and decides against it.

Episode 17: The Fight for Castle McDuck!

• The first thing Scrooge asks his dad when meeting him again due to the castle's magic mists not working is if he broke the magic castle.
• Everything about the Blot being paired up with Pepper, an Egghead who's basically F.O.W.L.'s version of Webby.
• The fact that it's an episode of a Scottish family arguing and it's probably the most realistic thing included in the show thus far.
  • For once, the Violent Glaswegian trope is literal, since Don Rosa established that Scrooge is canonically from Glasgow.
• When Huey exposits that they are using the opportunity to search for the "Blessed Bagpipes of Clan McDuck":
  Dewey: *gasp* Bless me bagp— Ohhhhh, that's why he says it.
• Louie cutting off Huey's enthusiasm for a potentially difficult-to-solve mystery.
  Louie: No! Bad nerd! Stop trying to complicate this! This is just us snatching something from our ancestral home! [beat] For... safekeeping, because we care so deeply about our family history.
• Dewey asking the important questions when meeting Matilda:
  Dewey: Hey, did you ever try to slap your sibling so hard that your other sibling felt it? [slaps Huey - both Huey AND Louie yelp and fall to the floor] And then they did?!
• Webby, meanwhile, after a moment of squeeing, tells herself to calm down and be professional... a resolution that lasts a few seconds.
  Webby: Hi I'm Webby I just met you but I idolize you!
• Dewey breaking the fletching off one of the arrows on Murdoch McDuck's statue.
  Dewey: Cool bow-and-arroh, noooo... [nervously slips the piece into the statue's quiver]
• Scrooge confronting his sister, Matilda, over lying to him about his pet hairball running away from home, and the two literally begin arguing like children, including screaming for their parents; all the while, Dewey and Webby, actual children, watch this awkwardly.
  • At first, Webby is worried about the initial argument, but Dewey (having spent his entire life with two brothers) reassures her that this is merely a squabble, not a fight ("No punches, no tears, and no parents stepping in"). Then Matilda's pet emu bites Whiskers. Cue Scrooge calling for their parents, while Matilda threatens to take Scrooge with her if he rats her out.
    Dewey: Okay, now it's a fight.
    Webby: [horrified] I broke Clan McDuck!
  • The following sentence said by Matilda: "If you get me in trouble, I swear to Grammy's ghost I will take you, and all you hold dear, down with me!" implies that their grandmother's ghost actually haunts the castle somewhere and they both know of it.
• Pepper, hidden under a cardboard box, sneezes due to the dust from the bag pipes, but both Huey and Louie think the other sneezed and say "Gesundheit" without thinking.
• Fergus taking Whiskers' fate so hard is pretty funny on its own, but it goes the extra mile during the tense dinner scene.
  Scrooge: M'ma, ask P'pa to stop hogging the black pudding!
  Fergus: This is for Whiskers! He's had a hard day! [shoves a forkful of black pudding into the hairball]
• The McDucks trying, and failing, to flip the massive dining table.
• When Dewey pretends to be seriously hurt, he nearly gives himself away by getting excited over Scrooge calling him his "favorite great-nephew."
  • When the adults turn around to check on him, he's back on the floor pretending to be unconscious. The kicker is that he opens his eye for just a second to see if they're buying it.
  • He then does give himself away in order to brag when Huey and Louie show up.
• Dingus McDuck is angry that his statue is only a bust, accusing Fergus of being too cheap to spring for a full statue for his own father. Fergus tries to push the blame onto Scrooge (who was the one who renovated the castle) and...
  Dingus: Yer moochin' off yer own kin!? [bites Fergus's leg]
• Huey explains to Louie why he wanted to search for the bagpipes "the hard way".
  Huey: Sometimes, doing things the easy way gets you in hard trouble down the line.
  Louie: That some sort of Junior Woodchuck rule?
  Huey: Nope. (pulls him into a hug) Just something I learned by being your brother.
  Louie: Aww. ...Hey!
• What makes Clan McDuck stop fighting? Someone else trying to fight the family. "Nobody fights our family but us!"
• At the end, the family treats restoring the crypt like another family would putting together a jigsaw puzzle.
  Downy: Ooh, I've got an edge piece!
  Dewey: I think this is part of a kilt!
  Huey: They all have kilts.
• Meta example: the fact that Matilda is voiced by Michelle Gomez. Listening to her squabbles with Scrooge, and just imagining The Doctor and Missy^note aka The Master bicker like children is hilarious.

Episode 18: How Santa Stole Christmas!

• The episode begins with Della reciting 'Twas the Night Before Christmas to the boys, except it's her own version that she wrote to paint a negative picture of Santa because of Scrooge's feud with him. The boys ask if she can just do the normal version.
  Della: That man is not allowed in our home! He knows what he did.
  Louie: But we don't!
  Della: The less you know, the better.
  Louie: [realizing] You don't know, do you?
  [Della's eyes dart around the room awkwardly]
  • Meanwhile, Donald tries to leave out a platter of pine tree-shaped cookies, only to predictably get tangled in the Christmas lights.
• Webby's really good camouflage for ambushing Santa at the chimney.
• Scrooge's Christmas gifts for the kids are woolen hats complete with wool-itchiness, much to the boys' disappointment and Webby's delight.
  Louie: Eugh, you could NOT have found an itchier fabric!
  Scrooge: I think you mean, "Wow, Uncle Scrooge, thank you for the very practical gift." What do you want? A cellphone you don't need? A trampoline? Some sort of video graphical game?
  Dewey and Louie: Yes!
  Huey: [matter-of-factly] They're called video games.
• Scrooge set traps throughout the roof of his mansion, knowing Santa comes through the chimney, which makes it surprising when Santa shows up at the front door.
• When Santa passes out in the doorway of the mansion, a shocked Scrooge makes Webby slowly lower her grappling gun. She proceeds to raise a KNIFE in her other hand.
• The boys' reactions to Santa guilt-tripping Scrooge into helping him deliver presents:
  Santa: I'll just take my sack full of toys, and hope the children are okay with Christmas coming late this year.
  Dewey: Nooo!
  Huey: We're children!
  Louie: We will NOT be okay with that!
• Scrooge high-fiving Webby when she delivers an alliterative insult against Santa.
• At the Drake home, Webby puts Boyd's present in his stocking, then stops short at Doofus's, which looks a bit more...goopy than one generally expects of a Christmas stocking. Scrooge ends up just tossing Doofus's present at it, where it briefly sticks before sliding off.
• During the Travel Montage, Santa flies over Rome twice. When Webby points it out, Santa explains he delivers the gifts alphabetically. Scrooge then asks why he doesn't just do it per country, and Santa cheerfully concedes it would be more convenient that way. Cue Face Palm from Scrooge.
• After successfully serenading the reindeer, Santa begs Scrooge if they can keep them. He really is a child at heart.
• Not only did Scrooge secretly deliver presents filled with coal, but he also included an invoice in them.
  • Naturally, the first person to open a present and discover the coal inside is Louie.
• When Jennifer wakes up to find Scrooge delivering presents she starts hitting him while yelling out "Stranger Danger!". Later, when she opens her present to discover a lump of coal she isn't disappointed. Instead she uses the bow and wrapping paper to make it into a doll named "Coalette".
• Santa storms into Jennifer's house, furious at Scrooge for delivering coal instead of presents... but quickly cools down when Jennifer wakes up and sees him.
  • And then Scrooge realizes that Santa's leg isn't hurt after all, seeing him walking around fine. Santa promptly says how bad his leg hurts... while grabbing the wrong leg.
• While delivering presents, Launchpad muses that he's never crashed a flying reindeer before, prompting Mrs. Beakley to butt in and proclaim that he never will.
• Scrooge giving Santa an alarm that turns his Santa traps off and telling him he's welcome anytime? Adorable! The fact that said alarm looks and sounds like a car alarm? Hilarious!

Episode 19: Beaks in the Shell!

• Mark Beaks gets hit with a serious dose of realism when he realizes that the public's gotten tired of him because all he does is try to steal the Gizmoduck armor.
  Reporter: Why are you still a thing? [...] It's very, very sad.
  • Also, part of the reason Beaks has fallen on hard times is because Waddle phones are now catching on fire.
    Beaks: My HOT new software update is guaranteed to reduce the chance of your Waddle phone catching fire by a jaw-dropping SEVEN percent! Bringing it down to a solid fifty-fifty.
• Huey walking in on Fenton and Gandra making out in the GizmoCloud, when to him it's Fenton seemingly kissing the air.
  Huey: Fenton! I'm sorry to interrupt...whatever you were doing.
• When Huey wants to try the GizmoCloud out, Fenton attempts to shoo him off (in order to hide his relationship with Gandra, as well as Gandra herself) by claiming that he doesn't have the VR helmet he needs. Manny then walks in with a cart of VR headsets that Fenton asked for.
  Fenton: (through gritted teeth) Thank you Manny, how convenient.
• When Huey discovers Gandra in the GizmoCloud.
  Gandra: What the f-
  Huey: F.O.W.L.?!
• Gandra calming Huey down by dropping a weighted blanket on him.
  Huey: What's this?! Some evil F.O.W.L. trap?!
  Gandra: No. It's a weighted blanket. It helps with anxiety.
  Huey: Well, it can't stop ME from being ANXIOUS! [slowly gets more tired] I, I.....Curses, I'm totally relaxed now.
• Fenton and Gandra giving Huey Puppy-Dog Eyes after explaining their predicament, and Huey being so deeply moved that he briefly sports them himself, followed by him dramatically declaring that he will keep their secret in the name of both science and love, and creating an arch of cartoon hearts and some smaller ones that he starts tossing in their faces.
• Huey is a little out of his comfort zone trying to keep Fenton and Gandra's secret.
  Huey: Okay Huey, you got this. Just keep a huge secret, and if you fail, you destroy your best friend's life. No big deal!
• Huey being interrogated by Officer Cabrera regarding Fenton's girlfriend.
  Huey: Are you some kind of interrogation expert?
  Officer Cabrera: Worse, I'm a mother.
  • When Officer Cabrera asks Huey and Fenton what the name of Fenton's girlfriend is, they narrow it down to...
    Huey and Fenton: Melissa...Beth...Ellen. MelissaBethEllen!
    Fenton: She's French!
    Officer Cabrera: (to Huey) I thought she was Canadian?
    Huey: SOME CANADIANS ARE FRENCH!
• Huey has Louie take his place to stall and lie to Mama Cabrera and Gyro, but the evil triplet quickly chickens out when she brings up how there's a case against Louie's Kids citing it as a charity fraud.
• This episode finally has Louie learn that Fenton is Gizmoduck. Given how in "The Dangerous Chemistry of Gandra Dee" establishes that Fenton has an ever-growing list of people who know it that includes his entire block, it's hilarious that nobody every bothered to tell Louie.
  Louie: Fenton is Gizmoduck?! Man if I’m gonna have to lie for you, I gotta know every detail!
• While Fenton's mother instantly realized Louie and Huey have switched places, it takes Gyro a couple seconds more to catch on.
  Gyro: Wait. Red Nephew. Red Nephew? [GASP] GREEN Nephew!
  • Immediately followed by Gyro and Mama Cabrera getting locked in the closet. The exact same closet Gyro gets locked in throughout the show! Lampshaded by Gyro as only Jim Rash can.
    Gyro: Why do I keep going in this closet?!?
• If Huey's tired muttering when woken by Fenton tapping out a message is accurate, Dewey has at some point practiced tap dancing at 3 in the morning.
• When Fenton gives him permission to reveal the GizmoCloud, with the intention of him bringing in some allies to fight off Beaks, Huey's immediate reaction is to burst out of Fenton's house and ecstatically announce it to the world...which consists of a single mailwoman who stares blankly at him during his gleeful outburst, then shrugs.
  Huey: Fenton created a virtual cloud-space for science, and he's IN LOVE WITH GANDRA DEE! I'M FREE! I'M FREE! [goes back inside, much calmer] Now to tell the people who can actually help.
• When Mama Cabrera finally meets Gandra, she asks Fenton if Gandra's real.
  Officer Cabrera: So this must be your girlfriend. [hugs Fenton] She is real right? I don't know how this internet stuff works.
  • Gandra's reaction to her question is basically to make a face that says "Is she seriously asking that?".
• One of the ways the heroes get under Mark Beaks' feathers is by pointing out that he doesn't have any original ideas - he can only copy others' genius. This drives him into dropping his copied armor and turning into a giant floating head with hands...except Gandra points out that he's basically cribbing off her remark about his big head.
  • Even funnier? It's still not an original idea, because Beaks is basically ripping off Andross!

Episode 20: The Lost Cargo of Kit Cloudkicker!

• During the pirate attack, Kit talks to his passengers — a goat and some chickens (that is, regular animals rather than goat- and chicken-people).
• Della carefully talks Dewey into doing a safe landing without his characteristic showboating. Huey compliments him on a basic landing, which Dewey takes as a serious insult, causing him to almost crash out of spite. While panicking, Huey rattles off a list of synonyms for basic. Della points out that he's not helping.
• Kit's ironclad excuse for being late on his bank payments.
  Kit: I know the payment on the plane was due on the fourth and today is the tenth BUT, in my defense, if you look at it from my perspective, I am very bad at math.
• Kit's "co-pilot" is a crow bar named Crow B. He later confesses that Crow B. does most of the work.
• After discovering that Kit left his "co-pilot" flying the plane while he was in the bathroom (which is labled "The Woods"), Della kicks him out of the cockpit while commenting "I can't believe you're making me be the responsible one here."
  • When Della brandishes the crow bar at him, Kit accuses Crow B. of mutiny.
• The fact that Don Karnage knows Dewey's full name (Dewford Dingus Duck) from the one time he showed it.
• After saving Dewey from the Sky Pirates and cloud-kicking down to the island, Kit can't find Dewey and turns around looking for him. A terror-striken Dewey is revealed to be clinging to Kit's back.
  • Then Della checks if Dewey is okay:
    Della: (hugs him) Dewey! I'm so glad you're okay! (drops him; hugs Kit) Thanks for saving my son from the danger! (punches him) You! Put him in!
• When the gang encounters the Rhinokey:
  Dewey: Rhinocerilla!
  Kit: Gorilla-roceros!
  Della: We'll decide what it's called later! Run!
• Despite having Arkoudaphobia (fear of bears), Don apparently never realizes that one of his current arch-enemies, Kit, is also a bear.
• Some of the Buffy Speak Della says while trying to placate Butterbear:
  Della: Nice bear-butterfly-thing! Would you like some honey, or some... whatever butterflies eat?
• Della gushing over Kit's cloud-kicking.
  Della: [starry-eyed] Like a gazelle prancing in the sky.
  • When she's discouraging Dewey from pursuing cloud-kicking in favor of being a pilot, she takes the time to assure Kit that none of this applies to him because he's "an artist".

Episode 21: The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck!

• Doofus Drake enters the court tied up in a straitjacket and a Hannibal Lecter-esque mask. When Scrooge asks why Doofus is restrained if he's the prosecutor, the Bailiff only says Doofus thought it was funny.
• Louie and Doofus face off right before the commercial break, with Doofus telling Louie that he is going to ruin both him and Scrooge. Doofus then gets a weird look on his face, sticking his tongue out and begins moving towards Louie. Cut to commercial, and when the show comes back Louie is towelling himself off in disgust.
• Magica and Poe's interactions with each other and the villagers are full of Black Comedy. Magica turns villagers into frogs just For the Evulz, and Poe tells her to stop - because then the villagers wouldn't be able to bring them food. Magica eventually resorts to turning one of the (male) villagers into a (female) goat, tells the villager's children to bring 15 gallons of goat milk for the next day, and forces the children to say thank you for sparing their father's life.
  • Then Scrooge defeats Magica, but instead of breaking the curse (assuming he even could), he builds a goat farm and sells the cursed villagers' goat milk for profit.
• As Scrooge tells Magica that he earned his treasure with his bare hands, Magica responds that she'll beat Scrooge with her bear hands, transforming her hands into miniature bears.
• This exchange between Scrooge and Magica as they're fighting.
  [Magica fires a blast of magic at Scrooge, nearly hitting him.]
  Scrooge: Curse me kilts!
  Magica: Oh, I'll curse your whole outfit!
• The Bailiff's Not So Stoic reaction as he reads the judgement aloud:
  Bailiff: Flintheart Glomgold, Ma Beagle and Magica De Spell are hereby respectively entitled to Scrooge's fortune, the deed to Duckburg, and... am I reading this correctly? The accursed... Number One Dime?
  • Glomgold and Ma Beagle, hearing the judgement, both look at Magica in confusion before starting to cheer.
• The fact that, once again, Glomgold ruins another potential victory for him and his fellow villains by gloating.

Episode 22: The Last Adventure!

• Webby finally learned to ask for a cup of "water" at Funso's. Louie and Jane the server are so proud.
• Webby’s reaction that Scrooge actually paid full price for the party at Funso’s.
• Gladstone is attending the party, effortlessly earning tickets at the skee-ball game. Donald and Della, on the other hand, can’t even get one ball in.
• As the Duck cousins hang out with Daisy, Fethry inadvertently reveals to Della that she and Donald are planning on taking a long sailing trip together. Gladstone promptly claims that he sees $20 "far away from the awkward family drama" and drags Fethry away. Upon learning this, Della nearly strangles Daisy. Twice!
• Steelbeak's sign that the Duck family is up to something? The fact that the cake is neo-politan.
  Steelbeak: Chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry?? No birthday has that much variety!
• When Bradford states that F.O.W.L. is one step away from victory, all the other agents begin to laugh evilly, angering Bradford.
  Bradford: NO! No maniacal laughter! We are not common villains!
• The family plans to infiltrate F.O.W.L.'s secret base at Funso's by throwing a birthday party for Webby. Instead of being hurt by the deception, Webby is thrilled that her birthday has suddenly turned into a spy raid.
  Dewey: Happy birthday, Webby!
  Webby: I have the best family!
• The computer warning for F.O.W.L.'s bases exploding includes telling the McDuck's that they're doomed and breaking out into an evil laugh, all in a dry monotone version of Heron's voice.
• Louie's sweat made the piece of the F.O.W.L. map hidden in his party hat all wet.
• Dewey, remembering how the game went, asks to take point. Obviously Scrooge and Beakley are a little skeptical, but when they find out he's right, they let him lead.
  Dewey: [gasp] Come with me if you want dew live! [runs down the hallway] Okay, that one was a stretch, but I mean, not bad.
• Launchpad's picture on Webby's family board is from a newspaper clipping that reads "Local Buffoon crashes six planes in one day, unfortunately survives unharmed."
• Huey, frustrated about the failed raid and unanswered questions, briefly slips up on his usual respectful behavior for authority figures:
  Scrooge: Perhaps there's something in your old S.H.U.S.H. files.
  Beakley: Those files are classified.
  Huey: [climbing on the desk and getting up in Beakley's face] So un-classify them! COUGH UP THE INFORMATION, BENTINA!
  Beakley: [eyes widen in shock, then narrow in a stern Death Glare]
  Huey: [eyes widen in horror; climbs down off the desk] ...I mean...Mrs. Beakley... [ducks behind the desk with only his eyes peaking out] I mean, I'm so, so sorry.
• As if the actual series concluding isn't emotional enough, we also have the heartwrenching finale of Ottoman Empire! Louie and Dewey are in tears by the end.
  Louie: (choked up) Wow...They really tied up everyone's storyline at the end there...
  • The Show Within a Show has brothers finding their long lost father. In this franchise, it's the most blatant Trolling Creator act ever.
• When Della and Donald get back from helping the latter get ready for his trip, they are greeted by a frantic Dewey and Louie explaining everything going on. Donald (who already had to deal with Della trying to stop him from leaving) asks Della if she put them up to it. Della admits she's just as confused as him.
• Gyro brings a large machine he plans to use to track down the plane that took Webby and Huey. When Louie says he tracked Huey's phone, Gyro kicks the machine down the ramp.
  Gyro: You are losing your touch, Gearloose! LOSING IT!!
• At one point, Launchpad causes Della to release her parachute all over Donald and the two tussle, while Darkwing trips over said parachute. This happens while Scrooge and Duckworth look on after the latter questions if Scrooge is willing to settle with this type of team.
  Scrooge: We're gonna be fine!
• During her infiltration, Webby comes across the buzzard known as Buford and gasps, expecting him to attack her. Instead... he groans with a walleyed look. Then a fly lands on one of his eyes. Turns out, he and Bentley are clones.
• When they're discovered by the Phantom Blot and Pepper, Gyro tries to talk his way out of fighting by saying that they're the "science guys" and they should be looking for the "magic guys". Pepper isn't phased by his logic and proceeds to beat him up. And then cheerfully notes how easily she can do so.
• Manny is revealed to be "The Headless Man Horse of the Apocalypse," prophecized to bring about the end of days. Gyro dismisses this, claiming that Manny's just an intern...and Blot and Pepper wordlessly indicate the giant, evil-looking statue of Manny that he's standing in front of. Manny awkwardly taps out, "I can explain."
  • Then, the Blot uses the Bagpipes to bring Manny's stone head to life, finally allowing him to talk (in the voice of Keith David). He dramatically cries out, "I live again!"... and then the bagpipes turn his non-statue body to stone, leaving him immobilized.
    Manny: [disgruntled sigh] Dangit.
  • "I LIVE AGAIN! ...Again."
• Ludwig von Drake is revealed to be alive as a F.O.W.L. captive and seemingly hasn't aged a day, much to Gyro's shock. When he questions Drake about why he isn't dead of old age, he claims that as Bradford's captive, he didn't have the time to die, completely casually.
• While it’s a grim sign of how powerful the resources at Bradford's disposal are, it's still pretty funny to see Zeus crammed into his cell like a pet for sale.
• In major situations where they are in trouble, Violet stays confident and in control because Huey is the one that freaks out when these kinds of situations pop up. Without Huey freaking out, Violet starts going full Huey and freaks out herself.
• During Dewey and Don Karnage's dogfight, they go for one last dramatic clash complete with dramatic music that they sing themselves.
• During a fight with Steelbeak, the villain knocks Fenton out of his Gizmoduck armor in full view of Darkwing Duck... and Darkwing is shocked that Gizmoduck made Fenton fill in for him on this mission.
  • Later on the plane ride home, DW processes Launchpad taking out the villains with the Gizmoduck suit as only he can: Conclude that his sidekick was somehow Gizmoduck the whole time. Gosalyn's response is to simply agree in defeat.
• Boyd waving to Fenton while attached to Lil' Bulb's body.
  Boyd: Hiya Fenton! I'm a head now!
• Gryo tries to get Dewey and Louie to open their cells through an elaborate, scientific procedure. When Dewey points out that they're children, he tells them to cut the red wire.
  Gyro: When they do something right, they're heroes. When it gets a liiitle hard [high-pitched mocking voice] we're children.
• Bradford's slide show about how he rose up to become Director of F.O.W.L. has him with the same embarrassing expression on every photo, eyes half shut and mouth agape (and in the exact same spot on the frame).
• While tied up and fearing that it's the end, Huey tells his brothers that he's glad that they're together. Louie shares his thoughts on his gesture.
  Louie: This is not comforting. I do not want to die.
  • The triplets have to shake back and forth in order to turn around and face people behind them. Or in Huey's case, repetedly hit his head into Dewey's.
• Steelbeak unleashes the brainwashed Glomgold, Beagles, and Magica to aid him in battle. Glomgold begins cackling in a monotonous voice while holding up two sticks of dynamite, proving that even when he's lost his free will and mind, there's just no stopping Flintheart Glomgold from letting out a maniacal laugh.
  • Glomgold's entrance is hilarious in and of itself. Steelbeak begins with a catchy rhyme…
    Steelbeak: "Ah-ah-ah! Make new foes, but keep the old. One is steel, the other is–"
    Glomgold: FLINTHEART GLOMGOLD!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA– wait. Where am I–?”
    • The cherry on top is that Steelbeak's rhyme wouldn’t have worked if Glomgold wasn't the type to randomly scream his name upon the exact moment he was let out of his cell.
• Bradford isn't even going to try to erase Scrooge from existence because he knows that Scrooge will somehow escape from that.
  • Credit where it's due, he's definitely right.
• Ludwig's reaction to everyone's shock about The Reveal about Webby.
  Ludwig: You fellas all knew that, right? You did? [beat] Ohhhhh, you didn't. I'm gonna give you a moment to adjust everything. [somehow pulls out a harmonica and starts playing it despite being tied up]
  • Huey putting all the pieces together is hilarious in its own right.
    Huey: (upon hearing Webby found the Papyrus) What?! Nononononono, that's impossible...unless...OH MY GOSH...no, wait, it couldn't...could it?
  • Dewey's complete non-reaction to Huey turning them by smacking their heads together. Not even a token 'ow'.
• Launchpad puts on the Gizmoduck armor to take on the mind controlled villains. Unfortunately, he doesn't get the password correct. Fortunately, the armor decides to accept it anyway.
  Launchpad: Blabbidy-Baloonersize!
  Gizmoduck Suit: Meh. Close enough.
• Bradford spent thirty years going over his Magically-Binding Contract on the Papyrus with a fine-toothed comb to make sure that he'd left no room for Loophole Abuse or Exact Words open, in order to force Scrooge to sign it and never be able to adventure again in exchange for his family. He's dumbfounded when the "family is the greatest adventure of all" loophole that the kids point out works.
  • As it turns out, Scrooge did actually try to read over the whole thing, mostly to stall for time, but also:
    Scrooge: If I'm going to be signing my life away, I'm going to read the fine print!
• The production team managed to get one more 'Wait, what?!' in, and they picked a doozy of a time to do it: when Webby blocks Bradford from Scrooge and says "Get away from my dad!" Scrooge, predictably, is the one that says it.
• Flintheart Glomgold's reason for Bradford being a disappointing villain? He's not even wearing a kilt.
• The fact that Bradford's punishment is getting turned into a regular buzzard by Magica. On some level, it's horrifying, but on another level, it's hilarious.
• Everyone had the last line, and it's all too perfect.
  Everyone: AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
• The finale credits start out with Launchpad accidentally leaning on the cargo door button and sucking everyone out.
  • As Darkwing is falling, Launchpad and Gosalyn drop by and grab his cape, causing him to go wide-eyed.
  • Beakley accidentally flies into Manny, who casually tosses her to ride with Della, with Donald hanging on for dear life on his tail.
  • Huey's praying for his survival and Dewey's moonwalking in the air.
  • Oh, and the plane? Crashes into the "DuckTales" logo. Again.
    • Blink and you'll miss it but when everyone was getting sucked out of the plane, Webby, Dewey, and Della are all smiling.
