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''. |
