Line 27:
* [[Author Appeal]]: Rosa's love of classic Hollywood movies pops up in quotes and other forms of tribute from time to time.
* [[Badass]]: ''Don't. Fuck. With McDuck.''.
** Sometimes Donald, too, gets this treatment. Most notably, in ''The Magnificent Seven (Minus Four) Caballeros'', Panchito and José Carioca think that Donald is a real [[Badass]] and treat him accordingly. The fact he ends up mentioning some of the various treasure hunts he's been on with Scrooge and his nephews, namely the discovery of [[El Dorado]], [[Atlantis]], the Lost Mines of the Incas, King Solomon's Mines and the Forbidden Valley (a valley in the Amazon rainforest filled with dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals) particularly impresses them.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: [http://disneycomics.free.fr/Ducks/Rosa/show.php?num=14&loc=D91071 The last panel of]{{Dead link}} ''The Island at the Edge of Time'' has Scrooge telling the narrator to shut up.
* [[Bungling Inventor]]: Gyro Gearloose.
* [[Celebrity Paradox]]: Some of Don's Hidden Mickeys refer to Mickey's real-life status as a fictional character, while the Ducks are "real" people. Take into account that Donald started off as Mickey's co-star in the cartoons, and you see how this fits.
Line 57:
'''Arpin Lusene''': Not "thif", you iddy-ott! '''Thif!''' }}
* [[Gentleman Thief]]: Arpin Lusene (an [[expy]] of [[Arsène Lupin]])
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Especially "What did Scrooge and Goldie did [https://web.archive.org/web/20100815112058/http://disneycomics.free.fr/Ducks/Rosa/show.php?num=31&loc=D2005-061&s=date in that shack] [https://web.archive.org/web/20110811040048/http://disneycomics.free.fr/Ducks/Rosa/show.php?num=32&loc=D2005-061&s=date that one night?]", found in his own commentary.

* [[Have a Gay Old Time]]: In the first ''[[The Three Caballeros]]'' comic Rosa did, he changed the lyrics of the eponymous song to remove the verse "the three gay caballeros". In the second one, the line is [http://disneycomics.free.fr/Ducks/Rosa/show.php?num=34&loc=D2004-032&s=date intact]{{Dead link}}.

* [[Impossible Thief]]: Arpin Lusene
* [[Jail Bake]]: The Beagle Boys visit their grandfather in prison, to celebrate the birthday of their gang. They bring a huge elaborate cake, of which not much was left after the security removed all sort of tools hidden inside. Including a flamethrower.
* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]: [http://disneycomics.free.fr/Ducks/Rosa/show.php?num=2&loc=D96066&s=date This well-known panel (bottom left)]{{Dead link}}, for instance.
* [[Mega Microbes]]: In "The Incredible Shrinking Tightwad", Scrooge and Donald are eventually shrunk down to microscopic size due to the effects of a malfunctioning shrinking ray, and are menaced by a horde of microbes.
* [[Money Fetish]]: Scrooge swims in it.
