DuckTales (1987)/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • From the first episode:

Nephews: We missed ya, Unca Scrooge!
Scrooge: Missed me? What'd you throw at me?

  • The infamous "A SEA MONSTER ATE MY ICE CREAM!!!!!!", which consists of Scrooge flipping out over hearing such news (since it was actually half his fortune), repeatedly screaming the above phrase and bouncing on the breakfast table on his head.
    • His nephews were forced to strap him in a makeshift straightjacket, which calmed him down, and he then proceeded to hop away determined to get his fortune back.
  • Gladstone freaking out after Magica de Spell curses him with bad luck in "Dime Enough for Luck". "I don't believe it! I've lost my luck! No food... no money... GASP! I'll have to get a job like normal people!!"
  • From "Sweet Duck of Youth": Looking into the fountain of youth shows the person as they looked when they were younger. For the triplets, the reflection is just three giant eggs staring back at them.

Dewey: We haven’t even hatched yet!

    • Not to mention Launchpad's reaction to seeing himself as he younger self from an earlier episode!

Launchpad:' Oh no! Now I'll have to start all over!

  • From "Super Ducktales":
    • Fenton's attempts to get the bag of dimes from the Beagles. All of them.

Ma Beagle: [chasing Huey, Dewey & Louie] Come back with that cash!
Burger: [follows] Come back with those desserts!

    • "It's thieves like them who are making the world a rotten place to live for thieves like us!"
  • "But I'm too young to die! And too nice! And much, much too nervous!"
    • Later in that same episode:

Scrooge: What's going on? High noon isn't for another hour!
General Chiquita: I thought I would save you needless anguish by moving up the execution.
Fenton: Bu-but I was just starting to enjoy my anguish!

  • "This'll make a nice cover photo for Duckweek - Scrooge and his nephews... [Burger turns back to normal] ...playing Beagle Boys and Indians. ...BEAGLE BOYS??!"
  • From "Nothing to Fear":

Scrooge: Duckworth? Why are you standing in the closet?
Duckworth (clears throat, whispers): Because there's no limo monster in here, sir.
*Door closes*
Scrooge: Well, I guess he has a point.

    • At the climax:

Huey: We're not afraid of you, Ms. Quackenbush! We did our homework!
Nightmare Quackenbush: Oh. Sorry! *Vanishes*

  • Scrooge is performing a ship christening:

Scrooge: Is this cheap champagne?
Duckworth: The cheapest, sir.

    • The best part is that he pauses in midswing to ask.
  • "The Ducky Horror Picture Show"

Scrooge: Huey, Dewey... [the Blob slithers down the stairs] Yucky!
[the Blob slithers over him, covering Scrooge in slime]
Scrooge: Eck! I've been slimed by the Blob!
Duckworth: There's a first time for everything, sir.
Igor: Hey McDuck, you want to Blob for apples? HA HA HA HA HA! [pointing at a bucket full of apples and green slime]
[The Blob comes out to eat the apples]
Scrooge: Yuck!
