Donald Duck/YMMV
- Archive Panic: We're talkin' about a character who has appeared in a considerable quantity of videogames, thousands of newspaper strips, a frickin' helluva lot in animation, and an absolutely monstrous amount in comic book stories...which have been released in a non-stop basis since 1934 and are unlikely to ever stop as long as The Walt Disney Company operates.
- Crack is Cheaper: Don's (almost) complete filmography of animated shorts is available through The Chronological Donald sets on the Walt Disney Treasures. You can easily snatch the four volumes via Amazon, if you have 307 bucks or so laying around. If you live outside of the US, prepare to add shipping costs to your paycheck...
- Relax, only two 60's shorts are missing from them.
- That's almost laughably cheap compared to The Collected Works of Carl Barks, and that is if you can find them at all. Just a year ago in Denmark, only one box ammounted to 200 euros...There are 10 boxes. Plus 13 more euros for postage, for each box.
- Fantagraphics Books is doing its own domestic reprint series of Barks' stories that promises to be significantly cheaper.
- Ear Worm: "Who's got the sweetest disposition?" Listen to it here!
- Germans Love David Hasselhoff: In the Netherlands, Poland, Italy and the Nordic countries, Donald Duck is more popular than Mickey Mouse.
- Memetic Badass: It's a bit of a running joke on 4chan's /co/ that Donald can basically win in any fight, up to and including destroying the Death Star single-handedly.
- Nightmare Fuel: Donald going mad with godlike power in "Trombone Trouble".
- Along with him saying, "Power, power, POWER!" and then laughing evilly. The sharp teeth certainly didn't help when he was laughing evilly.
- Donald roaring and taking a hugs bite out of wood in "Donald's Double Trouble".
- His nervous breakdown in Mickey and the Beanstalk.
- Older Than They Think: The name Donald Duck first appeared in a written poem, More Hoozoo in 1931. (However, the illustrated duck did not resemble the character as we know him.)
- This is bound to happen to any youngster that discovers Donald through his more modern appearances and takes time to realize the character is 77 years old.
- Unpopular Popular Character
- We're Still Relevant, Dammit!: In computer.don, Donald is depicted as being pathetically behind the times (having a rotary phone and an old fashioned ice box that Goofy stops by to refill), and is repeatedly labeled a dweeb because of it.
