* WasItAllALie: Djinn is stunned when he finds out the lamp had been simply thrown away, asking if his quest with Scrooge had all been a fake (it was). He then shakes it off, turning it into a part of the journey.

Fun fact I learned in my brief research: the Egyptian Sphinx seems to be the source of the Grecian Sphinx.


* SadlyMythtaken: In the phony quest, Scrooge and Selene disguise themselves as a minotaur and ask Djinn to answer riddles (which Selene gets from a joke book). A [[RiddlingSphinx sphinx]] would have been a more appropriate choice.

However, she ''is'' associated with bulls; presumably they had to throw together a costume with what she had.

Added example(s), moved Dirty Coward to Know When To Fold 'Em as they had a logical reason to do so.

* DirtyCoward: After recovering his lamp from Ma Beagle in badass fashion, Djinn asks if anyone else would like to try him on his birthday. The assembled Beagle Boys immediately back off, with one even meekly saying, "Happy birthday." Justified, however, seeing as how easily he dispatched them.


Added DiffLines:

* TheDreaded: It's overshadowed by the Aesop(s) about proper communication and the value of a story, but the episode demonstrates how this kind of intimidating presence can unnecessarily make things more difficult (the boys probably would've had an easier time tracking the lamp down in Duckburg with Scrooge and Webby's help, but they had to distract D'jinn out of a real concern that he'd simply destroy the mansion), or negate problems entirely (the Beagle Boys are fine with calling it a night once D'jinn gives them an explanation and the option).


Added DiffLines:

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: After explaining what the lamp is and why he wants it, then recovering his lamp from Ma Beagle in badass fashion, Djinn asks if anyone else would like to try him on his birthday. The assembled Beagle Boys immediately back off, with one even meekly saying, "Happy birthday, dude." Justified by how easily he dispatched them earlier ...and how pointless any further fighting would be over a completely mundane lamp.

* LeeroyJenkins: While Huey tries to plan a stealth mission past the many sleeping Beagle Boys, Djinn rushes up and loudly announces his presence before the rest could stop him.

** The B-plot to Ithaquack could have been avoided if D'jinn had explained his situation a little more clearly.
