* Donald's angst in "Gladstone's Luck", AKA "Golf Luck"
{{quote| '''Donald:''' Goodbye, boys! I'm going to lock myself in the broom closet and stay there for the rest of my life!<br />
'''Don's nephews:''' It's Gladstone Glander that makes you ''notice'' your bad luck! He makes ''everyone'' feel like jumping off a cliff!<br />
'''Donald:''' Go away and let me enjoy my misery! }}
* [[It Makes Sense in Context]], sure, [http://blog.newsarama.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10082/barks_donald_mummy.jpg yet...]{{Dead link}}
* [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|"Donald Tames His Temper"]]. Using her purse, Daisy sweetly convinces Don of keeping his cool by bashing his skull against the floor. When his nephews take excellent advantage of their uncle's softened self, it's not long before the Duck's [[Berserk Button]] is ''finally'' pushed beyond what he's willing to tolerate, so he calls his girlfriend for advice:
{{quote| '''Daisy:''' Why, spank them, of course! Be firm with them, but don't ''show'' anger!<br />
'''Donald:''' Glory be! Then it's okay to whale the [[Gosh Dang It to Heck|BLAZES]] out of 'em - If I do it with a '''smile!''' }}
** [http://disneycomics.free.fr/Ducks/Barks/1946/W_WDC_64-02R/10.jpg Yoo Hoo, boys! Come and have a pleasant chat with 'ol unca' Donald!]{{Dead link}}...The whole last page, natch.
* Any given story that pits Donald against [[Cranky Neighbor|Neighbor Jones]]. For instance, that time were they agreed to address each other with impeccable manners; in [http://www.cbarks.dk/Digital/masgb02a.jpg this scene], they do just that.
{{quote| '''Donald:''' Nice leaky roof yah got there, Jonesie, ol' snake!<br />
'''Jones:''' No leakier than yours, Duckie, ol' louse!<br />
'''Donald:''' I wonder how your oriental rugs are standing this?<br />
'''Jones:''' They're standing it better than your collection of rare books! }}
* Donald [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?|planting a two-dollar sapling]] in "Gopher Goof-Ups" and [[Large Ham|eloquently envisioning]] the future:
{{quote| Under this mighty tree of shade...I'll sit and sip my lemonade...''}}
* In "Turkey with all the schemings", a hungry Don looks around his kitchen on Christmas Day, only to discover the awful truth:
{{quote| Oh, me! Oh, my! I've spent '''ALL''' of my money, and there's nothing in the house to eat but a can of '''BEANS'''! This is a '''TRAGEDY''' worse than the burning of Rome! }}
 
 
Line 29:
* Don's [[Running Gag|obsession with singing "Lydia the Tatooed Lady"]] in [[Don Rosa]]'s "The Treasury of Croesus"
* In "Metaphorical Spanking", the nephews complain about having to study stylish writing techniques such as "alliteration" or "simile". Their uncle [[Hypocritical Humor|puts them on their place]]:
{{quote| I don't know from alliteration or simile, but if you ''lazy little loafers'' don't get to school I'll ''peel you like spuds!''}}
* The ending of "Return to Plain Awful," land of all things square-shaped:
{{quote| '''Donald:''' Admit it -- they got the best of both you old birds. And now you have something in common with them.<br />
'''Scrooge:''' Like what?<br />
'''Donald:''' Well, they made their billion by being [[Catch Phrase|tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties]]. And you know what else...<br />
'''Scrooge:''' Oh, no, nephew, don't say it! Please!<br />

== Film ==
 
* ''[[Fantasia 2000]]'': When Donald finally realizes just how screwed up the laws of the Disney universe can {{media|[[TVT Whatthe]]media:TVTWhatthe.png| get}}]].
* ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'': The ''entire'' Donald vs. [[Looney Tunes|Daffy]] nightclub battle, but particularly when Donald rises from his piano armed with a cannon and a (literally) devilish grin on his face.
 
== [[Classic Disney Shorts]] ==
 
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_u2X54-FkU "Orphan's Benefit"] marks [[Character Development|the first time]] Donald [[Rant -Inducing Slight|shows off his famed temperament]], and [[Cute and Psycho|it's a sight to behold.]] [[Made of Iron|He also manages to survive]] [[Amusing Injuries|a surprising number of bricks to the head.]]
* Sure, [[The Band Concert]] may be billed as a Mickey Mouse cartoon, but Donny steals the show as far as comedy is concerned, playing a moderated [[Screwy Squirrel]] whose [[Running Gag|never ending supply of fifes]] drives Mick crazy!
* In "Donald's Snow Fight", there's a scene where the nephews fire a snowball at their uncle, knocking his pompous captain's hat off and leaving him with a ridiculous hairdo. [[Serious Business|He's not amused.]]
{{quote| THAT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL!}}
* [[The Lord of the Rings|Gollum]] has nothing on Don's absolute ''lust'' for gold in "Donald's Gold Mine". [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJsB_W0xtu0#t=4m12s Here.]
* "Sea Salts". Donald cannot reach a coconut's meat, so he urges his companion Bootle Beetle to retrieve it for him. The beetle goes inside of the coconut, ignores Don's hunger and has a feast. Don catches on, and demands to receive the remaining piece ''a.s.a.p''. Said piece is too big to fit through the coconut's holes, so Bootle bites the sides so it gets smaller, to the point it becomes a pathetic, minuscule piece. [[Genre Savvy|Aware of his comrade's temper]], he shrugs at the audience, throws the piece through the hole, and covers his ears. Cue Donald's furious squawking. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V3cTFOUTuY#t=3m57s Here.]
** In the same short, a now-elderly Donald learns he can't dance anymore...[[Crack! Oh, My Back!|The hard way.]]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0rBeoOiV1c "Clown of the Jungle"], featuring Donald vs. the [[Screwy Squirrel|Aracuan Bird.]] Basically the closest thing to a [[Tex Avery]] short to ever come out of Disney.
* In "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1q4qa3IoIA Canvas Back Duck]" Donald is roped into boxing [[Non -Indicative Name|"Peewee" Pete.]]
{{quote| '''Crowd Member''': "Ah, the guy's yellow!"<br />
'''Nephew''': "He is not!"<br />
'''Donald''': "I am too. Let's go home." }}
* "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbyFeXva0sE Donald's Tire Trouble]". The entire short is just watching Donald change a flat tire, but you'd be surprised how much his [[Hair -Trigger Temper]] makes it into such a huge ordeal. It gets especially funny when Donald gets trapped ''inside'' the tire.
** And when ''[[Epic Fail|all four tires go flat,]] ''[[Break the Cutie|well...]]''
 
Line 63:
* "Music Store Donald". The titular Duck and Pete ask Daisy about her opinion on romantic music. ''[[Cloudcuckoolander|She sings 'effin Pop Goes To Weasel]]'', and Donald's [[Flat What|reaction]] is [http://i36.tinypic.com/33tr0cj.jpg priceless.]
* Donald's ''sublime'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LcWUknPss4 source of help] for Mickey in "Mickey's April Fools". Takes place between 3:35 and 4:01.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCC5QBy_jtg "Double Date Don"] is ''loaded''. Let's see...Donald's [[All Men Are Perverts|innocent dream]] when Daisy asks him if he'll [[That Came Out Wrong|do anything she wants]], Clara Cluck deluding herself thinking of Don as [[Mr. Fanservice]], the duck's eyes [[Eye Pop|being raped]] at the sight of a [[Fan Disservice|"sensual" Clara]], and last but no least Clara's [[Suicide Asas Comedy|attempted suicide]] and Donald's [[Accidental Hero|not-so-heroic]] motivations for rescuing her.
