** Donald can't live down the fact that he is [[Born Unlucky]]; in fact, in an episode where the Phantom Blot steals his luck, it's revealed to be a genuine force of chaos. Scrooge mentions offhand he got trapped in the pantry for a week and is still there when Webby sees signs of a struggle in the kitchen. |

** "The Impossible Summit of Mount Neverrest" deconstructs it; the reason why Scrooge is determined to reach the top of Mount Neverrest, even as he battles with common sense and the need to protect the kids is that {{spoiler|he was the Neverrest Ninny that George Mallardy cut loose a long time ago, and who was blamed for Mallardy's disappearance}}. Huey gets through to him by pointing out that {{spoiler|no one knows who the Neverrest Ninny was, let alone ''caring'' about ninnies these days.}} |

** Scrooge can't quite forgive his ex Goldie for ditching him every time it benefits her. She doesn't help her case in the present when they go on a few adventures with [[Teeth-Clenched Teamwork]], or Louie attempts to run a scam with her at Doofus Drake's birthday party.

** Season two deals with the [[Elephant in the Living Room]] after {{spoiler|Della Duck returns to Earth. No one wants to bring up or face the fact that she abandoned the triplets for adventure, and that it was her own pride that caused her to be stranded on the moon for so long. Eventually, however, Louie reaches a [[Rage Breaking Point]] and calls her a hypocrite when he nearly permanently damages time and she grounds him, and Donald calls her a "big dummy" when they reunite. After that, it's harder for her to live it down. Season three has Donald's wish for "normal family adventures" cause her to talk about being on the moon as a [[Running Gag]] in a sitcom land. The series finale has her upset that Donald wants to go on a romantic vacation with Daisy, but Donald doesn't even have to point out that it's rich of ''her'' to beg him not to go.}} |
