Line 1:
{{work|wppage=Duck Dodgers (TV series)}}
[[File:duckdodgers.jpg|thumb|350px|If he's the future, we're history.]]
Line 56:
* [[Friendly Enemy]]: Dodgers and Commander X-2 seem to have this relationship at certain times.
* [[Gender Blender Name]]: A [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]] named [[Emily Dickinson]]. In the 24th and 1/2 Century, there's apparently no such thing as gender-specific naming...which doesn't stop Dodgers from laughing hysterically at the guy.
* [[Green-Skinned Space Babe]]: There are many attractive alien (or humanoid) women in this show, but most aren't green-skinned, two noticeable exceptions are a Hawaiian alien girl in one episode, and Pandora Cometstar, one of the Cadet's female disguises.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Surprisingly, Dodgers himself has several moments of this. The Space Cadet has this most of the time, though.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: "There is nothing I enjoy more than frolicking in an empty room full of plastic balls." Keep in mind the line is spoken by Marvin to an in-drag Porky.
** The [[Gasshole|Methane Farms]] of [[Uranus Is Showing|Uranus]].
** In "Shiver Me Dodgers", Dodgers makes a remark about Pirate Georgia (the blonde pirate in red talking about the leeches they're about to eat), saying how he "knew a girl like her in school once".
** In "The Wrath of Canasta", Dodgers and Cadet are instantly taken with Miss Betsy Hoover the tavern owner. Dodgers seems fine, but Cadet holds a drink, and the straw suddenly goes rigid.
** Also from Duck Deception, this comment where Dodgers says "just have fun with this and let nature take its course" (considering the Cadet is in drag by this point) reaches a new level of "how'd that get through".
** '''X-2:'''"I do hope he shoots me before he mounts me..."
Line 82 ⟶ 85:
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: The Captain in [[The Mask of Zorro|The Mark of Xero]].
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Queen Tyr'ahnee. Ebony skin, silken white hair, a brass bikini top, see-through skirt, and frequent episodes of nightgowns & other fetishistic costumes? Yes, please!
** Many other women count as well: [https://duckdodgers.fandom.com/wiki/Aurora_Soleil Captain Aurora Soleil, especially in her pink evening dress],[https://catbox.moe/c/f1478p Officer Solo], [https://twitter.com/Baddieoftheday/status/1141514691266646016 Rona Vipra]..
* [[Only Sane Man]]: I.Q. High sometimes gives off this vibe. Whereas most of the Protectorate is comically incompetent in some way, he's usually the beacon of reason. The Queen serves this role for the Martians, which is why most decisions and negotiations are made between the two of them, establishing a sort of [[Friendly Rivalry]].
* [[Post Script Season]]: The "Of Course You Know This Means War and Peace" was written to wrap up the series if need be (hence, say, Dodgers learning to appreciate the Cadet), but more episodes were ordered.
Line 96 ⟶ 100:
* [[Rubber Forehead Aliens]]: Used hilariously often given that the animated medium makes this trope completely unnecessary. The best example of which is in the depictions of Martian wildlife, which is basically Earth wildlife with a green tint and some goofy antennae... sometimes an extra arm or two.
** "Goofy" is the word: apart from Agent K-9, who's a holdover from the original Marvin/Bugs cartoons, the most prominent examples are Martian gophers. Who are, of course, just the Goofy Gophers with the above alterations.
*[[Running Gag]]: Dodgers being an absolute simp for almost any woman who he sees:
*In the episode "The Spy Who Didn't Love Me", he had a crush on Agent Nikki Yoshimi, a Japanese spy who he was set to work with. At the end he fails to get her and says he will not simp again, only for him to go back on his word when he sees the next person he must help, Princess Alexandra.
*In one episode, he was a bit too comfortable with the Catapoids, especially their leader Mandy Mondo..... until they reveal they're actually [[Kaiju]] who want him for their dinner, literally.
*In "The Wrath of Canasta", he (and the Cadet, which is rare) likes Miss Betsy Hoover.
*In "Shiver Me Dodgers", he makes a comment about Pirate Georgia that implies he finds her attractive.
*In "They Stole Dodgers' Brain", he falls for Cassiopeia, a pop star, and his attempts to woo her result in his misery. Fortunately for him, they eventually make up and while not falling in love, they end up friends who spend the rest of the episode having banter (this ending was only featured in European releases).
*Two episodes feature him (and the rest of his team) crushing on Aurora Soleil, the main female member of their team.
*The episode "MMORPD" features Dodgers crushing on Ellomold, the pretty [[I Am Very British|British-accented]] fairy.
*In "The Mark of Xero", he is in love with the [[Spicy Latina]] Theresa.
*In "Hooray for Hollywood Planet", he likes Nina, an actress, who is actually a contract killer. He tries to get with her even when she's trying to murder him in cold blood.
*In "Diamond Boogie", he tries to get with Officer Solo, a policewoman hippie.
* [[Screwed by the Network]]: The last episodes of Season 3 didn't even air on [[Cartoon Network]], as the series was abruptly pulled.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The second-to-last scene of "The Fowl Friend" is nearly a word-for-word copy of the second-to-last scene of ''[[The Iron Giant]]''. It's then repeated in a later episode just to rub it in.
Line 113 ⟶ 129:
** The intro began with the famous [[Looney Tunes]] rings.
** In ''Til Doom do us Part'' the introduction of the Legion of Duck Doom is an exact copy of the opening credits to [[Challenge Of The Superfriends]].
* [[Southern Belle]]: Cadet in drag as Pandora Cometstar. Also Miss Betsy Hoover from 'The Wrath of Canasta".
* [[Space Sailing]]
* [[Spot the Imposter]]: Parodied when it comes up.
* [[Space Pirates]]: Long John Silver XXIII
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: A female cadet who "replaces" the real cadet and has a rather [[
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] at the end of the episode "Duck Departure":
{{quote|'''Cadet:''' I was hoping to invite you back to the Protectorate. It hasn't been the same without you.
Line 126 ⟶ 143:
* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works|Throwing Your Gun Always Works]]
* [[Twist Ending]]: In ''Where's Baby Smartypants'', Dodgers was on a mission to protect and deliver Baby Ozmo because it was believed he would give a powerful peace speech at the council. {{spoiler|It turns out he was actually pro-war.}}
* [[Villainesses Want Heroes]]: Tyr'ahnee, the Martian Queen to Duck
* [[Visual Pun]]: In the theme song, the line, "Duck Dodgers, he's fighting tyranny," is timed with an image of the Martian Queen. Her name? Tyr'ahnee.
* [[We Can Rule Together]]
