3	* In "Deconstructing Dodgers", one of the stories involves Duck Dodgers working at a cosmetics shop. After he is finished applying cosmetics to one of his clients... um, let's just say that the results could put the GrossUpCloseUp trope into absolute shame.
4	-->[[{{Understatement}} "You are so fired."]]
5	* [[TheVirus The]] [[ZombieApocalypse Fudd]] when it's first revealed. This is possibly the scariest we've ever seen ''WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd'' since ''WesternAnimation/WhatsOperaDoc''.
6	** '''[[SignatureLaugh Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh]]'''
7	** There's also the very idea of what would happen if a LethallyStupid entity gained control of an organization. The Fudd's EvilPlan--to invade the Sun--would be [[LaughablyEvil patently ridiculous]] if it wasn't clear that every single person it infected would be ''incinerated alive'' as part of the "mission," with the alien simply sending wave after wave of its drones into the star when the prior groups inevitably die. Billions of people come within seconds of being killed because the Fudd is too idiotic to realize why invading the Sun is a bad plan, and since they're a HiveMind, none of the victims are able to resist in any way.
8	* X-2's {{sanity slippage}} in "They Stole Dodgers' Brain".
9	* The [[EyesDoNotBelongThere effects]] that the radioactive stuff had on Dodgers in "Duck Deception". Dodgers said it best:
10	-->'''Dodgers''': [[BrainBleach I'm going to pretend that never happened...]]
11	* "I'm Gonna Get You Fat Sucka" introduces Count Muerte, an adaptation of [[WesternAnimation/Transylvania65000 Count Bloodcount]] - a scarier, more predatory version of Count Bloodcount at that, who specifically survives by eating the fat of his victims. He asks incessantly about Cadet’s body fat ratio, and has survived for untold centuries preying on fat people. Even the way he asks about Cadet comes off unnervingly like a creepy predator in real life obsessed with his potential victim's body.
12	** When Count finally does take off the gloves and go after Cadet, it's nothing short of terrifying. He loses his temper and transforms into a bat monster to chase after Cadet with a terrifying screech.
13	** When he is tricked into eating the decoy of Cadet, Count grabs it offscreen and devours it whole, and relaxes with a satisfied exhale, giving a great look at what would’ve happened to the real Cadet had he not been quick enough.
14	** His death is also a bit unnerving. He leaves behind just a skull with a macabre grin.
15	-->'''Count Muerte''': ''(wheezes, chokes, and coughs)'' Rigor...mortis!
16	* The hot alien girls turning into giant bug monsters in "Big Bug Mamas".
17	* A NoodleIncident mentioned in "Detained Duck": apparently, Dodgers sold the Cadet's sister to a sausage factory. Noted homicidal maniac, Franchise/HannibalLecter expy and CardCarryingVillain [[CriminalDoppelganger Drake Darkstar]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards is utterly disgusted]].
18	--> '''Drake:''' Dude... that's ''cold.''
19	* The pirate captain swipes a woman's earrings while she is still wearing them, believing they were clip ones, and we do not see the result, but her screams along with his disturbed face say it all about how horrible it was (he even apologizes due to thinking they were clip ons).
20	** In that same episode, the parasite eating contest. Dodgers gets so full that by the last one, he doesn't eat the parasite so much as encourage it to crawl down his throat, alive. And it DOES.
21	* ''Ferocious Octigerious'' a very rare, very DANGEROUS flower in the episode "Duck Codgers" with a pollen that causes anyone who inhaled it to go through RapidAging until they turn to dust. While the episode is largely comedic, it's honestly not to wince at the idea of turning so old you actually become dust. This goes into a TearJerker when Dodgers believes Cadet turned to dust, mourning what he believes to be his dead friend. What makes this worse is the effects work in REVERSE on Martians; X-2 could have regressed into nothingness!
