** In "The Once and Future Duck", UsefulNotes/JamesMadison takes advantage of the time portals that keep appearing throughout the episode to "send a message" to audiences: that the First Amendment is absolute, applies to everyone and everything, and has no exceptions; and that the Second Amendment doesn't mean that the average person has the right to own a gun. Not coincidentally, both of these opinions are very much in-line with mainstream American liberalism of TheNineties; they really don't apply to what Madison would have ''actually'' thought (most of the Founding Fathers were ''big'' fans of private gun ownership), nor have they aged particularly well (the American left has generally moved towards favoring restrictions on free speech in the name of deplatforming bigotry and fighting misinformation).

** Duckman's family too, to some extent: Ajax doesn't have a single mean bone in his body (nice), Bernice retains her mean role, while Charles and Mambo consist of the in-between, as they both disapprove of their dad as much as their aunt does, but they care about him enough to still call him their dad and help him when necessary (as long as he doesn't screw up).

* AngerIsHealthyAesop: In "A Room with a Bellevue", Duckman is sent to a mental institution after going on an angry rant in public. After a while, he starts treating his time in the psych ward as a vacation from the stresses of everyday life, which convinces the staff that he's insane and they put him through [[ElectroconvulsiveTherapyIsTorture Electro Shock]]. After his brain has been fried, he is released from the hospital as an uncharacteristically cheerful ExtremeDoormat who doesn't get angry at anything. Cornfed eventually [[InstantSedation sedates him]] and performs neurosurgery to reverse the effects of the Electro Shock. After waking up, Cornfed tells Duckman that it's the person who can cheerfully accept the madness of this world that is truly insane.
