** Harry Medfly bemoans in "Clip Job" how a perverted weirdo that treats family and co-workers like crap is considered a role model for the TV audience. Not believing he's a TV character, Duckman thinks it would be crazy for anyone to want to be like him.

** Beneath his anger and perversions, Duckman genuinely cares for his sons, Cornfed, and even Bernice. It's just that being repeatedly shunned and disappointed in his formative years made it very difficult for him to open up to others and think he'd receive affection in return. A flashback to his and Beatrice's wedding had Grandma-ma acknowledge how Duckman acts like a jackass as a defense mechanism.
** In his role model rant to Harry Medfly, he alludes to how he's "a disappointed yet still hopeful idealist" that's just making his way in an unforgiving world and looking for appreciation from like-minded individuals.

* InterruptedSuicide: Due to a genetic defect in his family, Cornfed must go on a QuestForSex before he turns 30 or else he will die. With time just about to run out, Bernice agrees to sleep with him. She sees it as simply helping a friend, but he falls head over heels for her and is so crushed that she doesn't feel the same way that he intends to jump off a cliff. It takes Duckman saying he needs him in his life for Cornfed to step away from the edge.

* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Duckman talks Cornfed down from suicide in "Pig Amok" by admitting this. He says Cornfed's inherently good qualities keep him from falling apart.

* SexlessMarriage: According to Honey, they never once had sex in the nine years they were married, though part of that is because he was confused over what sex actually was as he thought he was having sex constantly with both her and Bernice. When Duckman explains the concept to him, he's physically nauseated, and later runs off when Duckman says the word "penis".

* QuestForSex: Somewhat unwillingly in "Pig Amok", where it's revealed that the men of Cornfed's family suffer from a rare, and possibly unique, genetic defect that requires them to lose their virginity by the age of 30, or die when their system goes berserk before shutting down. Despite Duckman's "help", Cornfed comes very close to dying, but ends up losing his virginity to Bernice, saving his life.
