1	* AdaptationDisplacement: Subverted; this movie was accused of being an unauthorized adaptation of an unrelated comic strip ''also'' named ''Dirty Duck''. Since the sole online representation of the latter is a website consisting of a single comic strip from 1999 and nothing else, this movie is far better known which really isn't saying much.
2	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: So many scenes qualify. The film's [[RandomEventsPlot flimsy narrative]] is partly to blame for this. Major examples include [[spoiler:Willard banging the Duck]] at the end and Willard's subway confrontation with the "Negro Gentleman".
3	* CrossesTheLineTwice: ''A Negro, a Jew, for you to screw!''
4	* CultClassic: Has gained a following with exploitation and adult animation fans.
5	* {{Jerkass Woobie}}: As [[{{AllMenArePerverts}} perverted]] as Duck is, it’s difficult not to sympathize with him when Painless Martha dies, considering Duck saw her as a mother.
6	* HilariousInHindsight: Numerous examples;
7	** The film's premise, a human and a duck going on crazy nonsensical adventures, would be repeated in ''Film/HowardTheDuck'' 12 years later with [[BoxOfficeBomb just as much success]].
8	** At one point, Willard imagines himself as a King Kong-esque monster that climbs a skyscraper with artillery cannons firing up at him, only for the reality to be Willard having climbed up a stop sign and the artillery cannons are actually pointing fingers. The [[Film/KingKong1976 1976 remake of]] ''Film/KingKong1933'' came out two years later.
9	** Willard's boss resembles and acts like a female version of the PointyHairedBoss from ''ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}}''.
10	** A woman in a brothel has an artillery cannon slide over her entire left leg which very much brings to mind Cherry Darling's infamous "machine gun leg" from ''Film/PlanetTerror''.
11	** Willard and Duck have a dragster-esque police car pull up beside them with light and siren going before it turns into a gigantic towering police officer, very reminiscent of ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' which would debut ten years later.
12	* ValuesDissonance: When you have characters credited in the film as "Negro Gentlemen" and "Big Fag", this is come to be expected. It ''is'' an animated exploitation film after all.
13	* VindicatedByHistory: To some extent. The film was critically and commercially demolished during its original run, and unfortunately fell into obscurity over time. VHS and DVD releases for the film as of recent, not to mention being featured in an episode of ''WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob'' has since help bring the film some more attention, giving the film a CultClassic status by fans of the exploitation genre.
14	* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Don't let the [[{{Expy}} Donald Duck like appearance]] fool you. This isn't a Disney production ''[[VulgarHumor by any means]]''.
15	* TheWoobie: Willard. He just wants to find love ([[YouNeedToGetLaid and get laid]]).
16	** The poor cat that shows up earlier in the film.
