Donald Duck/Funny: Difference between revisions

 

* Donald's angst in "Gladstone's Luck", AKA "Golf Luck"

'''Donald:''' Go away and let me enjoy my misery! }}

* [[It Makes Sense in Context]], sure, [http://blog.newsarama.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10082/barks_donald_mummy.jpg yet...]

* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|"Donald Tames His Temper"]]. Using her purse, Daisy sweetly convinces Don of keeping his cool by bashing his skull against the floor. When his nephews take excellent advantage of their uncle's softened self, it's not long before the Duck's [[Berserk Button]] is ''finally'' pushed beyond what he's willing to tolerate, so he calls his girlfriend for advice:

'''Donald:''' Glory be! Then it's okay to whale the [[Gosh Dang It to Heck|BLAZES]] out of 'em - If I do it with a '''smile!''' }}

** [http://disneycomics.free.fr/Ducks/Barks/1946/W_WDC_64-02R/10.jpg Yoo Hoo, boys! Come and have a pleasant chat with 'ol unca' Donald!]...The whole last page, natch.

* Any given story that pits Donald against [[Cranky Neighbor|Neighbor Jones]]. For instance, that time were they agreed to address each other with impeccable manners; in [http://www.cbarks.dk/Digital/masgb02a.jpg this scene], they do just that.

'''Jones:''' They're standing it better than your collection of rare books! }}

* Donald [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|planting a two-dollar sapling]] in "Gopher Goof-Ups" and [[Large Ham|eloquently envisioning]] the future:

* In "Turkey with all the schemings", a hungry Don looks around his kitchen on Christmas Day, only to discover the awful truth:

 

 

* Don's [[Running Gag|obsession with singing "Lydia the Tatooed Lady"]] in [[Don Rosa]]'s "The Treasury of Croesus"

* In "Metaphorical Spanking", the nephews complain about having to study stylish writing techniques such as "alliteration" or "simile". Their uncle [[Hypocritical Humor|puts them on their place]]:

* The ending of "Return to Plain Awful," land of all things square-shaped:

'''Donald:''' Well, they made their billion by being [[Catch Phrase|tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties]]. And you know what else...<br />

'''Scrooge:''' Oh, no, nephew, don't say it! Please!<br />

* Sure, [[The Band Concert]] may be billed as a Mickey Mouse cartoon, but Donny steals the show as far as comedy is concerned, playing a moderated [[Screwy Squirrel]] whose [[Running Gag|never ending supply of fifes]] drives Mick crazy!

* In "Donald's Snow Fight", there's a scene where the nephews fire a snowball at their uncle, knocking his pompous captain's hat off and leaving him with a ridiculous hairdo. [[Serious Business|He's not amused.]]

* [[The Lord of the Rings|Gollum]] has nothing on Don's absolute ''lust'' for gold in "Donald's Gold Mine". [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJsB_W0xtu0#t=4m12s Here.]

* "Sea Salts". Donald cannot reach a coconut's meat, so he urges his companion Bootle Beetle to retrieve it for him. The beetle goes inside of the coconut, ignores Don's hunger and has a feast. Don catches on, and demands to receive the remaining piece ''a.s.a.p''. Said piece is too big to fit through the coconut's holes, so Bootle bites the sides so it gets smaller, to the point it becomes a pathetic, minuscule piece. [[Genre Savvy|Aware of his comrade's temper]], he shrugs at the audience, throws the piece through the hole, and covers his ears. Cue Donald's furious squawking. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V3cTFOUTuY#t=3m57s Here.]

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0rBeoOiV1c "Clown of the Jungle"], featuring Donald vs. the [[Screwy Squirrel|Aracuan Bird.]] Basically the closest thing to a [[Tex Avery]] short to ever come out of Disney.

* In "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1q4qa3IoIA Canvas Back Duck]" Donald is roped into boxing [[Non-Indicative Name|"Peewee" Pete.]]

'''Donald''': "I am too. Let's go home." }}

* "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbyFeXva0sE Donald's Tire Trouble]". The entire short is just watching Donald change a flat tire, but you'd be surprised how much his [[Hair-Trigger Temper]] makes it into such a huge ordeal. It gets especially funny when Donald gets trapped ''inside'' the tire.
