General

  • Putting children in danger is completely ok.
  • The most responsible person in the house is a maid, who isn’t even good at punishing her own child.
  • Putting a child through military level training is a good idea, it may even come in useful for them in everyday life.
  • Having child characters sound like men in their thirties is preferable to having them sound indistinguishable from one another.
  • The only reason people are poor is because they're too lazy to go on dangerous and expensive expeditions and adventures to amass wealth.
  • Trying to murder repeatedly won’t get you landed in jail.
  • Discovering artifacts will make people love you, even if you’re a dangerous sociopath.
  • The Jerk with a Heart of Gold will be hated, especially when they’re sustaining the town. The Jerk with a Heart of Jerk will be loved, even when they want to kill.
  • If people aren’t pre-teens and are evil, they can’t be reformed, and shouldn’t be put in jail if they aren’t reformed because they’re in the pockets of big business!

    Season 1 

"Woo-oo!"/"Escape To/From Atlantis!"

  • Being nude in front of three 10 year olds raises no eyebrows.
  • Lock people in rooms if they annoy you.
  • Don’t quit jobs you don’t want.
  • Keep dangerous objects casually laying around.
  • Your boss will attempt to murder you and get away with it.
  • Discovering an Ancient Artifact will make people love you, even if you’re a dangerous sociopath.

"The Infernal Internship of Mark Beaks!"

"Jaw$!"
  • Don't do charity work. Anyway, your money will go to the villains, and not to those people who really need help.
"Sky Pirates...in the Sky!"
  • There is nothing wrong with joining pirates, betraying your family and capturing them. It's their own fault because they didn't pay enough attention to you.

    Season 2 
"The 87 Cent Solution!"
  • If you find out your long-time enemy has died under strange circumstances, you honestly have no excuse not to barge into the funeral uninvited and make a complete ass of yourself.

"The Dangerous Chemistry of Gandra Dee!"

  • Using your inventions for corporate espionage for an Upper-Class Twit isn't "selling out".

"GlomTales!"

  • The best punishment for a child is to lock him in a room for a few days alone without the opportunity to do anything. And put a robot armed with a stun gun on him. Despite the fact that this robot is made by a mad scientist and can become dangerous.
"The Richest Duck in the World!"
  • Nothing teaches humility and hard work like a giant monster trying to kill you.

    Season 3 
"Challenge of the Senior Junior Woodchucks!"
  • The best scout is the one who shuns his comrades (so much so that some do not even know about his existence) and prefers solitary activity.

"Quack Pack!"

  • Never say what you want out loud on the off-chance that it would throw you into a Lotus-Eater Machine.
  • Not wanting minors to be thrown into peril every day is wrong.

"The Lost Harp of Mervana!"

  • Laxing leadership breeds Anarcho-Monarchism.

"The Rumble for Ragnarok!"

  • Don't chase glory, but do the right thing. Because if you do this, your opponent took a level in Jercass, his fans will come over to your side and you will get the desired glory.
"The Lost Cargo of Kit Cloudkicker!"
  • If something doesn't work out for you the first time, give it up. It is better to do only what you are already good at, and not strive for more.

"The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck!"

  • If a rich man is getting sued, then it's a frivolous lawsuit out to make him look bad. Any legitimate concerns they may have is their own fault and they should just get over it.
  • If you've done something bad to someone, you should always apologize to them for it, even if the person is an unrepentant psychopath and the bad thing you did was giving them their just desserts.
  • If someone attempted to inflict a Fate Worse than Death on you several seconds ago, then you're completely obligated to help them fix whatever mess they made in that attempt. Not doing so makes you just as bad as them and it doesn't matter if they're a complete psychopath you have no reason to believe they won't try it again.
