* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: In "Dammit Hollywood", the [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]], [[Sylvester Stallone]], and [[Bruce Willis]] caricatures try to kill Duckman from their plane. In the process, they inadvertently destroy several buildings, but make sure to remind the audience that they radioed ahead for everyone to evacuate the buildings so no innocent bystanders would be harmed. |

* [[Negative Continuity]]: Although sometimes events did carry over to later episodes. One of the bigger examples is how Duckman and Cornfed first met. In "Civil War," the two are shown as meeting as adults when Cornfed worked as a baker. ("The Girls of Route Canal" showed the two actually meeting well-before "Civil War," but Duckman was typically pre-occupied with himself and crass, so he would obviously not remember.) But in "From Brad to Worse," the two are shown as old high school pals - played straight and not as a joke as in "The Girls of Route Canal." |

* [[No Ending]]: The series' 4th season final episode ended with a [[Cliff Hanger]] involving {{spoiler|Duckman's wife Beatrice, whose death aggravated most of Duckman's self-destructive tendencies, being revealed to be alive.}} Naturally, the first time the show's creators were confident of the show being picked up for another season, they weren't. |

* [[Noir Episode]]: Specifically, "Noir Gang", which is rendered entirely in black and white except for the final few seconds when the sun comes out. There are Noir motifs right through the series, and in Duckman's own mind he's a pulp detective hero. |
