* {{Balloonacy}}[=/=]BalloonBurstingBird: The episode revolves around an invention called Flubble Gum, which is a bubblegum allowing bubble blowers to fly. When Fenton Crackshell is floating around in the air, Scrooge [=McDuck=] mounts an improbable rescue scheme. Scrooge throws lots of Flubble Gum into a trash compactor along with water, mixes it up, and uses an air pump to blow a giant-sized bubble, causing Fenton's new trailer to float into the sky. The rescue is successful, but a passing bird pecks at the bubble, bursting it and sending the trailer crashing to the ground, much to Mrs. Crackshell's dismay.

* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: Fenton says this word for word when he ignores Gyro's warnings about the flubblegum being untested.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Fenton asks Scrooge to shoot him with an arrow when he sees that demand for Pep has gone out of hand. Assisted suicide in a kid's cartoon! (To be fair though, the arrow is just a kid's toy with a suction cup at the end. So don't worry, Scrooge couldn't have hurt Fenton with it anyway.)

Fenton shoots a series of test commercials, but mistakingly creates demand for a nonexistant product. In desperation, he uses a new bubble gum invented by Gyro, who has not had time to test for side effects.

* UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway: Fenton launches a successful ad campaign for a product called "Pep", but has neglected to actually make a product to sell. Going to Gyro Gearloose, he chooses a prototype gum that allows the chewer to float, despite Gyro's warnings that it's untested. Unfortunately, the gum works too well, and now all of Duckburg's citizens can't get back down.
