* ExtendedDisarming: Parodied. Darkwing is forced by Camille (disguised as Launchpad) to surrender his gas gun, then, under coaxing, a bow and arrow... then, to further insistence, he rapidly produces [[HyperspaceArsenal a pile of weapons half as tall as himself]]. After tossing down things like a cutlass, a rocket launcher and a chainsaw, he ends by carefully placing a rubber chicken on top of the pile.
-->'''Camille:''' I understand everything else... but [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers why the rubber chicken]]?
