-->'''Chicken Little''': All we have to do is duck and weave through traffic, through town square, while avoiding the death rays from the evil alien robots. We get to the town hall, climb up to the roof, and give the kid back to its parents!\\
'''Buck''': (''forced and with a'' very ''fixed grin'') ...''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck yeah!]]''

I'm pretty sure that line from Buck Cluck was a two-way combo of Hypocritical Humor and a Hypocrisy Nod.


* {{Hypocrite}}: He claims that the antagonists were bad parents for "leaving behind" Kirby, when he himself neglected and ostracized his own son. He ''does'' however follow this up with "[[IResembleThatRemark And I should know!]]"

* ParentalNeglect: To Chicken Little, though unintentionally. While he sees the error of his ways towards the end, for the vast majority of the film, he only cares about what the egotistical self-serving townsfolk want, over the well-being of his own flesh and blood. Whenever his son embarrasses him, Buck distances himself from Chicken Little as much as possible.

adorkable cleanup, now it's YMMV. removing misuse and ZCE, moving appropriate examples to YMMV, and replacing with Endearingly Dorky for In Universe examples


* {{Adorkable}}: Being voiced by Zach Braff adds to the dorky cuteness.



* {{Adorkable}}: Besides the buck teeth, her crush on Chicken Little turns her into a puddle of adorable awkwardness.



* {{Adorkable}}: Thanks to his large build and scaredy-cat tendencies.
