Pooled Funds: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

The greedy character finally has his desired fortune piled under his feet, he couldn't be any more glad. So how does he enjoy this moment? He dives into the pile and [[Sand Is Water|gleefully swims around]] like it was the best swimming pool ever, or rest on it like you would while floating peacefully.

** Subverted in ''The Last Lord of Eldorado''. After having found a pile of coins on a treasure cruise, Scrooge tries to dive into it. Instead he cracks his head because the coins were fused together after spending hundreds of years on the bottom of the sea.

** Deconstructed in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3KRQSpORW0 this parody video], where Scrooge accidentally breaks all of his bones after jumping into his pool of money, resulting in him being immediately rushed to the hospital where he then dies. A funeral is held for him, where he is buried with all of his money, and as a result his grandnephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie go crazy over their granduncle's death and end up in prison, their uncle (and Scrooge's nephew) [[Donald Duck]] becoming very angry with them and refuses to pay their "duck bail", before finally going bankrupt and committing suicide.
