* SleepingDummy: One of Louie's plans involves planting a sleeping dummy in his bed, seemingly getting out of the room and into a doorway, when in reality, the "Louie" the robot sees is another dummy on a remote-controlled vehicle. Unfortunately for Louie, the robot catches on faster than he expected and nonlethally zaps him back inside

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** With his obsessive nature and wasteful spending on things like booby traps and his schemes, Glomgold could never actually win his bet with Scrooge, and is forced to go begging his fellow villains for help just before the deadline.
** Glomgold realizes too late that signing a partnership contract with Louie using his alias instead of his real name renders his share null and void, especially as he didn't read the fine print. Thus, everything gets forfeited to Louie.
** According to WordOfGod, Glomgold made his first couple of million with a single theft, and when we see him actually doing business he invariably leaves all the details to his employees (specifically [[HyperCompetentSidekick Owlson]]) so he can concentrate on his schemes. The one kind of education a businessperson ''cannot'' afford to skimp on? Contract law.[[invoked]]
** Also, the RoguesGallery here consists of [[CorruptCorporateExecutive two confirmed billionaire CEOS,]] [[TheQueenpin a crime boss]] [[SiblingsInCrime and her army of sons,]] [[SkyPirate a ruthless, singing pirate,]] [[EvilSorceress and an evil witch with access to the souls of the damned]]. None of them can be considered poor to be able to keep up with the likes of Scrooge [=McDuck=]. Combined, their wealth actually is more than enough to be considered richer than Scrooge's.
** The LegionOfDoom members try to make declarations of hatred all at the same time, and end up just drowning each other out.
** Glomgold -- in a rare case of him ''not'' having an overly detailed plan -- lacks any sort of coherent idea here beyond "our family destroys his family", which leaves the group completely rudderless by the end and forces them to each look out for only themselves. They also don't have any battle strategy that would capitalize on the matched skills Glomgold considered so important, so the final confrontation boils down to most of the villains just focusing on their greatest enemy, Scrooge, while Mark Beaks cringes in terror at having to fight Launchpad because his counterpart, Gyro, isn't present.
--->'''Louie:''' What was your scheme, here, exactly? Just show up and fight?\\
'''Ma Beagle:''' Of course not! I'm sure Flintheart had a perfectly good... ''(Realizing the truth, she lets out a heavy sigh)''
** The rest of the villains end up having their fortunes taken by Flintheart and then Louie. But being villains, they simply steal their money back and run away. Especially considering the Beagles are criminals and Don Karnage is a pirate.
** The episode, [[StatusQuoIsGod rather than ending with Louie doing the right thing and signing the company over to Scrooge no questions asked,]] [[SubvertedTrope ends with]] [[WhatYouAreInTheDark Louie contemplating what to do with his newfound wealth and power in front of a worried Scrooge and Della]]. Louie is [[TokenEvilTeammate proud to admit he's the Evil Triplet who sees all the angles]], and as far as he's concerned, [[DarkHorseVictory he EARNED this win]]. Louie's behavior, good or bad, isn't going to change overnight, especially when his dream is right in front of him. The next episode has him learn his lesson the HARD way.

* {{Irony}}: Louie is grounded from joining in on the family's adventures, something he has stated to do reluctantly more than once, when they are going on an adventure that can only be described as a completely safe leisurely vacation. It even involves a river flowing with his favorite soda.

* DumbassHasAPoint: Glomgold might be a complete idiot that overlooks a lot of details, but he manages to win over the more intelligent Ma Beagle by rightfully pointing out that all of Scrooge's enemies are hopeless in fighting him by themselves and that they have a bigger chance of finally scoring a win together than apart.
