Duck Dodgers: Difference between revisions

'''X-2:''' (wipes away tear) Oh, father... }}

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Dodgers is a [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type I]]

** The show's name is a parody of the sci-fi character [[Buck Rogers]].

* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: Pork...er, Eager Young Space Cadet, especially in the first episode "Duck Deception".

'''X-2:''' Ah, another delusional fan trying to emulate the famous [[Star Wars|trench scene]]. How many lives must that accursed film claim? }}

** In Marvin's second solo cartoon, Dodgers explained Marvin was entitled to one per season. However, while the series had more than two seasons, Marvin never gained a third solo cartoon. Also, a martian rabbit Marvin was hunting stated he now knew "why [[Bugs Bunny]] turned this cameo down".

* [[Clip Show]]: Hilariously averted in 'Deconstructing Dodgers', where incidents from previous episodes are clearly alluded to, but the events shown are actually 'outtakes' from the mentioned episodes... plus a few other scenes with no context whatsoever.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Duck Dodgers. In one episode we get to see inside his mind and he still makes no more sense than before.

* [[Grand Finale]]: The "Of Course You Know This Means War and Peace" two-parter was written to be this. "Bonafide Hero: Duck Dodgers," too, and ultimately was.

* [[Green Rocks]]: Seem to be common on the Klunkin homeworld, with the appearance of moognesium (turns the holder into an [[Axe Crazy]] musclebound berserker) and [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|elephant]][[Baleful Polymorph|anium]].

** And [[Star Trek the Next Generation (TV)|Q]] is Sinestro! Sholy hit!

** Not to mention [[John Dimaggio]] as Kilowogg, Tara Strong as Katma Tui and [[Grey Delisle]] as Boodika.

{{quote| '''Motto:''' ''"No surrender, no prisoners, no kiddin'."''}}

* [[Public Domain Character]]: Long John Silver XXIII (a fact actually [[Lampshaded]] in the episode).

* [[Raised By Wolves]]: Averted in the episode "In Space, No One Can Hear You Rock", where [[Megadeth (Music)|Dave Mustaine]] denies being raised by wolverines.

* [[Raw Eggs Make You Stronger]]: In one flashback, Marvin tries to invoke this trope, but finds out that Dodgers loves raw eggs and that the way he drinks it is too disgusting for poor Martian eyes.

** "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.

* [[Screwed By the Network]]: The last episodes of Season 3 didn't even air on [[Cartoon Network]], as the series was abruptly pulled.

** Porky's nephews and niece in "Pig Planet" are [[Expy|Expys]] of [[Animaniacs (Animation)|Yakko, Wakko and Dot]]. They're also voiced by the same actors!

** In the [[RPG Episode|MMORPG episode,]] Daffy transforms into [[Looney Tunes|Beaky Buzzard,]] [[Taz Mania|Axle Gator]], and [[Wacky Races|Muttley]].

'''Sinestro''': Really?<br />

'''Dodgers''': Oh, wait, you had the whole hero-villain [[Foe Yay|seduction]] speech worked up, didn't'cha? }}

* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: Tyr'ahnee again.

* [[Whole-Plot Reference]]: Season 1's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSTYjsejsVk K-9 Kaddy], in which Marvin the Martian [[Villains Out Shopping|plays golf]] while K-9 is terrorized by Gophers is a pretty direct riff on the Mickey Mouse [[Classic Disney Short|cartoon "Canine Caddy"]], where Mickey plays golf as [[Pluto]] is terrorized by gophers.
