4
5	!!''The Brothers Quack'' provides examples of the following tropes:
6
7	* {{Animesque}}: Has a {{Creator/Sanrio}}-esque art style complete with {{Sweat Drop}}s and CrossPoppingVeins.
8	* DeadpanSnarker: Rodney sometimes makes a witty remark now and then, such as whenever he's dealing with Howie being TheDitz.
9	* TheDitz: Howie, the gullible and LiterallyMinded friend of Rodney's.
10	* HiddenDepths:
11	** Maybe not all that hidden, but the Mandrake Brothers themselves count; In perspective, Al is TheSmartGuy with a passion for the horror genre, Skylar is the EmoTeen with a cheerful attitude and a love for cute things and Rodney is the thick-skinned stoic with a mischievous streak.
12	** Cassandra, for all her bossiness, has a MoralityPet in the form of the friendly Quianru.
13	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Characters like Rodney or Cassandra aren't total jerks but they can be grumpy and standoffish, with that being said, they have their fair-share of friendly moments.
14	* LiterallyMinded: "Howie To Rock".
15	-->'''Rodney''': Howie, [[spoiler: this is just your rock garden]].
16	-->'''Howie''': I know, but [[spoiler: but isn't it groovy how these rocks ''[[{{Pun}} roll]]''?]]
17	* MadScientist: Al is a GadgeteerGenius with a love for horror stories and at one point, one of his nightmares inspired him to make mutant butterfly ducks out of DNA samples.
18	* PerkyGoth: More like "Perky Emo" or "Perky Scene Boy", but Skylar could count with his edgy looks but bubbly personality.
19	* ThePrankster: Rodney is the big troublemaker of the three duck brothers, though you wouldn't really expect it from his almost always emotional-less demeanor.
20	* {{Pun}}: ''Loads and loads of them''; heck, there are [[PopCulturePunEpisodeTitle titles to episodes that are puns]]!
21	* SanityBall: Whenever Al isn't the responsible, smart older brother, Rodney's the troublemaking prankster and whenever he isn't this, then Al gets in touch with his inner MadScientist.
22	* SuperDeformed: The art style is clearly inspired by {{Creator/Sanrio}} (mixed with the sensibilities of 90's {{Franchise/Nicktoons}} and Creator/CartoonNetwork shows), in particular, their own Franchise/HelloKitty.
23	* ShoutOut:
24	** ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' gotten a few.
25	*** The sword sound effect from the opening makes an appearance in "Short Duck Rescue", part 3 of the Duckerfly story arc, when Al is rescued from being stuck in the cocoon his duck-butterfly chimeras made.
26	*** "Pizza Popped"
27	---> '''Rodney''': I'd like a large (with everything), [[MemeticMutation extra thick]].
28	** Also in the Duckerfly arc, "The Social Butterfly Affect" has a book with the title ''[[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls The Summerween Trickster]]'' and in the final "Flutter-Bye!", Rodney is holding a can of [[{{Manga/Bleach}} Soul Reaper]] bug spray.
29	** At the end of "A Gerochan Comic", Gerochan appears to be watching a [[ShowWithinAShow faux]] ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''.
30	** The cups in "Homemade Havoc" resemble [[{{VideoGame/Cuphead}} a certain, classic cartoon inspired video game duo]].
31	** 2017's HalloweenCosplay:
32	*** Al: [[{{VideoGame/Undertale}} Dr. Gaster]].
33	*** Skylar: [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim GIR]].
34	*** Rodney: [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Edward Elric]].
35	*** Howie: Rodney....much to the latter's disturbance.
36	*** One of the partygoers attended as either Luna or her future daughter Diana in ''Franchise/SailorMoon''.
37	** Gerochan makes a rather punny reference to the "Monster Mash" song [[spoiler: after Rodney gets everyone at the party drunk]].
38	---> '''Gerochan''': Looks like everyone got [[spoiler: graveyard SMASHED]] amirite?
39	** Gerochan sings a parody of the ''{{WesternAnimation/Popeye}}'' theme in the third installment of the Whodunnit Ducks arc.
40	** Al's computer in "Clickbait And Switch" resembles the clothing of the titular hero of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''.
