Duckman: Private Dick/Family Man (1994-1997) is an Animated Series from Klasky-Csupo that aired on USA Network; starring Jason Alexander as the titular Duckman. Duckman is the cheapest, sleaziest, most incompetent private investigator in the world; he's also a lousy father, a small-time crook, and... a duck. He and his family are all walking, talking, tax-paying note Well, Duckman never pays his taxes, but you get the idea. ducks, and Duckman's hyper-efficient (and humorless) assistant Cornfed is a pig, despite the fact that this is not a DuckTales-type animal world. While Duckman himself walks around naked in the tradition of Daffy Duck, everyone else wears clothes.Very crude (right down to the deliberately ugly character designs), very cynical and very, very surreal — sort of like if Luis Buñuel had made Beavis and Butt-Head (a show also produced by a division of Viacom) — it freely mixed low-brow riffs with the abstract and the intellectual. The show has an ardent cult following, and a lot of its fans are still stewing over the final episode's cliffhanger.Created by the late Everett Peck, who would later move on to create Cartoon Network's Squirrel Boy (in the interim he did design work for a bunch of shows for Sony Pictures Television).The series also inspired a relatively obscure Point-and-Click Adventure Game adaptation called Duckman: The Legend of the Fall, released in 1997. | |

Artistic License – Ornithology | |
Duckman / int_11ee737 | comment |
Artistic License – Ornithology: In a case of the show trying to make a nod to realism but missing the mark by being too clever by half, in "Papa Oom M.O.W. M.O.W.", Duckman, who seems to be hitting it off with two very beautiful (and very stupid) ladies, comments in an aside that he wishes he had a penis. Now it's true that most birds don't have penisesnote Most birds, male and female, have one opening, called the cloaca, for all of their digestive and reproductive output but among the small handful of birds that do? Ducks. | |

When she finds out that the sperm she was inseminated with is Duckman's, she goes, "Aaaaargh!" and faints into her soup. Then, when Duckman realizes Bernice might be carrying his baby, he also goes, "Aaaaargh!" and faints into his own soup. Ajax, having watched them both do it, just goes, "Argh?", and passes out into his soup. | |

Crapsack World: Evident in many episodes, but perhaps most prominently in the third act of "The Gripes of Wrath" where the world becomes a hellhole. Also seen in "A Room With a Bellevue", whose first act is entirely devoted to pissing off Duckman until he loses it.

When he says "Action," they get into character and continue the plot of trying to find the missing Ajax. | |

Anachronism Stew: During "Pig Amok," Cornfed shows a documentary explaining the inherited gene that requires him to lose his virginity or die. During the documentary, one of those Civil War letters by Ulysses S. Grant is read, only it's revealed that it wasn't an actual letter, but an e-mail. To really hammer the point home, the President's email provider is "@anachronism.com" | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
Duckman / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: Done quite frequently. In "The Road to Dendron", Cornfed asks why he's acting so unlike himself. A voice from off-screen says: "The password is: Bad writing." In "Clip Job", Duckman asks what kind of people would lower themselves to create a lazily written and morally bankrupt clip show, at which point he looks at the camera when the "Executive Producer" credits appear. In "TV or Not To Be", God says, "I hate message shows," at the end. Done by Cornfed in "Gland of Opportunity" Another one from the same episode: Voices from earlier in the episode play in Duckman's mind ("Chickenman"; "He is a less-than-ideal role model."), and ends with Duckman thinking, "Why do you hear these voices in your head every week?" | |

Hidden Depths | |
Duckman / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Deep beneath the surface, Duckman really does care for his family, friends, and even Bernice. He can also solve cases if motivated to actually try. In "Bonfire of the Panties", Duckman's friends and family give him an aphrodisiac that would allow one woman to become infatuated with him, and warn him that he is not to throw it away on some easy trick. Duckman manages to reverse engineer it and make all the aphrodisiac he wants. His Shoulder Angel admonishes him by pointing out his potential and how he is wasting his talents. His Shoulder Devil counters with how it doesn't matter because he's going to get all the tail he wants. His Shoulder Angel reluctantly agrees. "The One With Lisa Kudrow in a Small Role" reveals that Ajax is saving money to go to college. (Not that he can spell "college," given the six Qs, but still...) However, his savings are all IOUs... to himself. Turns out he has been secretly slipping money into his father's wallet to help him out. It's hinted at in the show, and strongly hinted in the comics, that Duckman and Bernice are actually attracted to each other, because, well, Bernice looks exactly like Duckman's dead wife, and Bernice actually sees what her sister saw in him. This causes them to lash out even more than they normally would. | |

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. Even Duckman himself has standards, he's visibly disgusted when he catches one of the teachers at Ajax's school making out with a teenage student in one of the lockers. | |

Actor Allusion: Wilbur Nelson who appeared in the "American the Beautiful" episode was voiced by Alan Young, who previously played two other characters sharing the first name: Main character Wilbur Post from Mister Ed and Wilbur Bowser in an episode of Encounter. Duckman is said to have had a relationship with a Seinfeld-obsessed blind woman who thought he was Jason Alexander in a duck suit. As a Brick Joke, said woman has kidnapped Jason, who is wondering who this woman is, and why she's talking about him having a duck suit. In the finale ("Four Weddings Inconceivable") King Chicken proposes to Bernice, asking "In the movie Clue, what was your favorite ending: A, B, or C?" to determine if they're truly compatible.note She answers "Why choose when the video-cassette has all three!?" "The One with Lisa Kudrow in a Small Role" is a reference to her show's Idiosyncratic Episode Naming. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
Duckman / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: Character voiced by Tim Curry? It's King Chicken in disguise. One exception: Simon Desmond in "Vuuck, as in Duck". After the credits in that episode, the audio clip over the Reno & Osborn logo is Tim Curry's voice saying "I didn't get to peel off my head." That was almost certainly just a joke, however; King Chicken couldn't possibly have known that the owner would give the team to Duckman, and how would building a senior citizen gated community help him gain revenge in the first place? | |

Right Through the Wall: Bernice and King Chicken have very loud sex in the next room in "Cock Tales For Four" to the point where everything they say can be heard clearly and a wall gets repeatedly bent inward several feet. Duckman knows what's going on but Honey Chicken is too drunk to notice. The final episode reveals though that they've never actually had sex. Bernice and Cornfed do the same in "Pig Amok". It's so loud and destructive the walls start to crack. Duckman is too busy with his own thoughts to realize it, though. | |

Duckman's real biological father is revealed in "Kidney, Popsicle, and Nuts", thereby meaning that the man seen in flashbacks from previous episodes wasn't his real father. | |

Eye Glasses: Somehow, Duckman's eyes are his glasses. He will pull them off his face to clean them, leaving his face unnervingly lacking features. At one point Cornfed also notices that Duckman doesn't have ears on which to put them. He occasionally switches to shades with no visible eyes whatsoever (most notably in "Dammit, Hollywood") and can still see perfectly fine through them. | |

Even Cornfed is subject to this on occasion, such as spending a big chunk of "Soft, Plush, and Deadly" with a thickly swollen head from bug bites and being left behind. Or being kidnapped in "A Trophied Duck" and left bound, gagged, and hanging upside down in a closet. Gecko, the family dognote actually Sparky, the neighbor's dog is abused in almost all of his appearances, mainly by Duckman. | |

Credits Gag | |
Duckman / int_4af55b78 | comment |
Credits Gag: Listen carefully to the voice beneath the loud tribal chanting in "Pig Amok": He's reading off the names in the credits. In "The Road to Dendron", a reprise of "We're Off on the Road to Dendron" plays, with Duckman and Cornfed singing "We don't know what we'll find in Dendron, buddy, but we know it's gotta be twenty-three minutes and nineteen seconds long!" The word "long" is appropriately cut off. "With Friends Like These" has The Gang's theme song supposedly played backwards. After a few seconds, a deep voice says "Hello, Eric? This is Satan. Thank you for watching, and remember to worship me. Goodbye." At the end the singer says "Eat more cheese.", the advice Duckman mistakenly thought Grandma-ma gave to him at his wedding in "Grandma-ma's Flatulent Adventure". | |

Downer Ending | |
Duckman / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: "About Face", which ends with Duckman deciding to not go on a date with Angela because he feels that he's holding her back. In the same vein, the ending to "Bonfire of the Panties": Courtney Thorne-Smith dumps Duckman for the simple reason that as a celebrity, she makes dumb decisions and so because it would be a good decision to stay with someone she enjoys, she has to break up with him. In the season 3 finale "Cock Tales For Four", it's heavily implied that Duckman's renewed enmity with King Chicken means that Ajax can never see Tammy again. Ajax just sadly stares out the rear car window as the Executive Producer credit appears. Tammy is never mentioned in any future episode. "The One With Lisa Kudrow in a Small Role" ends with the distant planet of Betamax exploding, a result of its citizens adopting Duckman's bad advice and (presumably) going to war with each other. Luckily Ajax had returned to Earth by the time the explosion occurred. | |

Fake-Out Opening: Occurs all the time; much in the tradition of Rugrats, many episodes open with something puzzling, only for the camera to zoom out and reveal what it actually is. Alternatively, the episode will open on a show or movie that one of the characters is watching. Example from "America the Beautiful": A bunch of beauty contestants fighting (with one eventually pulling out a machine gun and wasting everyone). It turns out it's just a video game Ajax is playing. | |

Genius Ditz: Ajax shows shades of this on occasion, usually for the sake of a joke. At a funeral, he gives a profound speech about how life is fleeting, only to be met with blank stares. He then says something you'd expect him to say, prompting the audience to laugh (which he sums up as giving them what they want). Also lampshaded in another episode when Ajax proves to be quite capable with a harp, remarking that he'd become an idiot savant with a few years' more practice. | |

Smoking Is Cool | |
Duckman / int_596f675a | comment |
Smoking Is Cool: Demonstrated by Duckman in "Gland of Opportunity" when he becomes famous. Interestingly, though, the show mostly averts this trope; Duckman is reluctantly trying to quit smoking right at the start of the series and we're shown the negative side effects of his former addiction. | |

The Un-Reveal | |
Duckman / int_5a3b8032 | comment |
The Unreveal: Parodied at the end of "The Road to Dendron," where Cornfed asks why the Fakir had Ajax kidnapped in the first place. Just as he's about to explain, a camel chewing on hay walks by. Once the camel is gone, the Fakir finishes explaining, with Duckman and Cornfed nodding along. The fact that in the Series Finale, Duckman's wife Beatrice was alive this whole time and Cornfed knew about this all along, but the episode ends on a never resolved cliffhanger that as of now remains to be unresolved. | |

Crossdresser: During the musical number in "The Road to Dendron", Cornfed and Duckman sing that if they want to get to syndication, one of them is gonna end up in drag. During their attempt to save the princess, both end up doing so. "Not So Easy Riders" has Duckman and Cornfed trying to evade the IRS in Las Vegas by donning showgirl outfits. "Aged Heat 2: Women in Heat" Has Duckman as this for nearly the entire episode. "Westward No!" has Duckman become a Vegas showgirl again after he loses all his money; he's still in the outfit when he leaves to do a catfish drive (it's a long story). | |

Long List: In "You've Come a Wrong Way, Baby", there's a parody of the scene from The Fugitive when a long list of places to search for the getaway is given. In "Papa Oom M.O.W. M.O.W.", Cornfed rattled off the merchandise created when Duckman had his fifteen minutes of fame. In "The Mallardian Candidate", Cornfed listed all the so-called "necessary" items Duckman purchased for the surveillance job. In the same episode, Iggy reveals that his organization was behind all sorts of conspiracies, and lists them all: In "Clip Job": In "They Craved Duckman's Brain!", the villain plays a video which lists all the people who profit from cancer (see Straw Character below for the transcript). In "A Room With a Bellevue", when Duckman finally snaps: In "A Civil War", after Duckman is kicked out of open mic comedy night: In "Cellar Beware", the list of everything Duckman borrowed and never gave back to his neighbors: A lawnmower, a weed whacker, a "Dave and Jenny Farber" welcome mat, the TV, the dining room chairs, a framed picture of someone else's children at Sea World, and a dialysis machine. | |

Duckman / int_685baef8 | comment |
Decade Dissonance: The episode "America the Beautiful" had Duckman and Cornfed venturing to different cities, all of which are a different stereotype of a certain period of time. The '50s: Their first stop is in a suburban neighborhood literally in black and white and which is mentally stuck in the 1950's, right down to one of the people accusing Duckman and Cornfed of being communists. The '60s: Their second trip was to a college campus in a 60s-ish town. Everyone who's not a cop is a hippie. The '70s: Their third stop was a disco club. The '80s: Their fourth stop is to a businessman's office, who represents the stereotypes of The '80s: obsessed with making money on Wall Street, heartless, and only concerned with material goods and trophy wives. | |

"Anger Is Healthy" Aesop: In "A Room with a Bellevue", Duckman is sent to a mental institution after going on an angry rant in public. After a while, he starts treating his time in the psych ward as a vacation from the stresses of everyday life, which convinces the staff that he's insane and they put him through Electro Shock. After his brain has been fried, he is released from the hospital as an uncharacteristically cheerful Extreme Doormat who doesn't get angry at anything. Cornfed eventually sedates him and performs neurosurgery to reverse the effects of the Electro Shock. After waking up, Cornfed tells Duckman that it's the person who can cheerfully accept the madness of this world that is truly insane. | |

Duckman / int_762b9223 | comment |
King Chicken always felt the need to explain his vendetta against Duckman was because of being made fun of when they were kids. On his fourth appearance, "Forbidden Fruit", this was mostly Played for Laughs, with the angry mob clearly bored/irritated by it at this point. The crowning example was "The Color of Naught," in which a live action news reporter claims Tim Curry has gone into hiding because he doesn't want to be forced to say those lines anymore. | |

Sudden Name Change | |
Duckman / int_7833feeb | comment |
Sudden Name Change: In "Married Alive", Beatrice's will gives Bernice's full name as Bernice Batrille NI Battle-Ax, whereas Duckman is referred to as such, implying that he has a one-word name. In "Bev Takes a Holiday", Duckman let's slip that his first name is actually Eric; this remains the case for the remainder of the series (and actually becomes a plot point in "How to Suck in Business Without Really Trying"). In the final episode, "Four Weddings Inconceivable", Duckman's full name is revealed as Eric Tiberius Duckman, while Bernice's has changed (with no explanation) to Bernice Florence Hufnagel. The DVD collection uses these names in its bio section and also refers to the sons as Charles and Mambo Duckman and Ajax Duckman, even though they're never called that in the show itself. | |

Exposition | |
Duckman / int_7a2aba81 | comment |
Exposition: In the first episode, "I, Duckman", Duckman delivers a bit of exposition about how Beatrice died and Bernice moved in to help care for the boys when he's irritated that the family is ignoring him. Lampshaded brilliantly in "The Color of Naught" when Charles and Mambo tell Duckman that Angela has returned, and proceed to explain (in great detail) their relationship from season 1's "About Face". Duckman snaps: "Don't you think I know that?!" The twins reply that they were spouting exposition for the benefit of the many non-regular viewers who stumbled upon this while trying to find softcore porn. In "Short, Plush and Deadly", Bernice reminds everyone why they're going camping, stating that she's not repeating it to deliver clunky exposition, but because it feels so good. King Chicken always felt the need to explain his vendetta against Duckman was because of being made fun of when they were kids. On his fourth appearance, "Forbidden Fruit", this was mostly Played for Laughs, with the angry mob clearly bored/irritated by it at this point. The crowning example was "The Color of Naught," in which a live action news reporter claims Tim Curry has gone into hiding because he doesn't want to be forced to say those lines anymore. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: In "Role With It," during a group therapy session involving role playing, Duckman winds up taking a lot of abuse from everyone else in the cast. When he gets his nerve back, though, he very calmly gives it back - doing a little role playing of his own and pointing out all of their faults. In "The Gripes of Wrath", Bernice discovers that Duckman would rather go to Busty Bikini Babe Fest instead of taking his kids to the science/technology exhibit. She then launches into a tirade on how he'd rather ogle women than help his children develop their intellect. | |

Cornfed eventually saves the day by projecting a special-effects ghost to scare the thief into confessing. The owner of the diamond offers the duo a box of donuts as reward. A second ghost comes into the scene and scares everyone away. The ghost is revealed to be Homer Simpson wearing a sheet, who begins eating the donuts before saying into the camera Duckman's trademark phrase "what the hell are you staring at?!" Cue credits. | |

Duckman / int_8391b1c7 | comment |
Artistic License – Law: At the end of "Married Alive", Bernice, in a rare moment of humanity, gratefully thanks Duckman for saving her from a sham marriage to Baron Von Dillweed...then becomes enraged when she realizes she would've been "legally bonded to a devious criminal...who I could've divorced and soaked for half his multi-billion dollar fortune!" Anyone who's learned the first thing about divorce law knows that this is utter hogwash: The most she'd potentially be entitled to is half of his income during the time that they were married. Furthermore, Bernice's relative youth, excellent health, numerous occupations and affiliations, and ability to run a household on her own would all work against her. At an absolute minimum she would have to endure years of miserable marriage (probably as many as 10) and then hunker down for a very long, very ugly court battle against a man who can afford the best divorce lawyers in the world. And then of course there's the nightmare Scylla-and-Charybdis decision of whether to allow a self-serving amoral sleazeball to keep custody of the boys or give them back to Duckman. | |

The Voiceless: Grandma-ma, who can't speak due to her coma. She makes up for it by farting instead, and using morse code on one occasion. In a couple episodes, though, we do hear her speak: In "Grandma-ma's Flatulent Adventure", she's heard in a flashback and her interior voice is heard at the end of the episode: "I really hate that guy." (referring to Duckman, of course). And she also speaks in the flashback episode "Crime, Punishment, War, Peace, and the Idiot". | |

Karmic Death | |
Duckman / int_90d44f44 | comment |
Karmic Death: The two burglars in "Cellar Beware"; they stole, among many things, Charles and Mambo's solar-powered magnet invention. When one of the burglars tells the other to open the sunroof, a ton of metal objects instantly are sucked onto their car, presumably crushing them to death. In "They Craved Duckman's Brain", Roland Thompson tries to kill Duckman to prevent the cure for cancer from being issued to the piblic because it would cut into his profits from healthcare. He crashes into a truck appropriately labeled "Poetic Justice" full of cigarettes that burn up and cause him to contract and die from cancer within seconds from the smoke. | |

All the home movies have a different art style: Steamboat Willie for his childhood years, Popeye for another time, Yogi Bear for high school years, and The Simpsons for adult years when he and Beatrice were still married. | |

Hypocrisy Nod | |
Duckman / int_9230c618 | comment |
Hypocrisy Nod: Played with at the end of "Apocalypse Not"; Cornfed tries to convince the citizens to avoid harming Duckman, who'd demolished most of the city while everyone else was in the sewer practicing a drill. First he argues that the destruction isn't Duckman's fault, which he immediately goes back on because very obviously is Duckman's fault. Then he argues that their own behavior in the sewer made them no better than Duckman, which he immediately goes back on because they're not the ones who demolished most of the city. At that point he drops the pretense and says "Let's get him," and everyone chases him into the sunset. | |

(BGM from the video about people who profit from cancer). | |

Back for the Finale: Various one-off or background characters are guests at the finale's triple wedding. Surprisingly, this includes Baron Von Dillweed, who left Duckman and Bernice on extremely bad terms, the mad bomber, who attempted to kill Duckman several times, Achmed Owasir, a movie character (who was Duckman and Cornfed's enemy in said movie), and Professor Edwin Byer, who shouldn't even exist (he was one of King Chicken's disguises), all of whom are happily cheering with the rest at the conclusion of the ceremony. | |

Cutaway Gag | |
Duckman / int_961c6c22 | comment |
Cutaway Gag: Arguably more common in the first season than the other three. Examples: In "Ride the High School", Bernice wonders how the public schools could've gone downhill so horribly. Cut to Duckman protesting in front of the White House, shouting "No new taxes!" In "Cellar Beware", the two criminals who robbed Duckman's house get their comeuppance by testing Charles and Mambo's invention, which causes the nearby cars on the freeway to fly onto theirs like magnets. In the same episode, we see a cutaway to Duke Tetsloff at a Congressional hearing on unsafe products, defending that the security system he sold Duckman is only dangerous to someone irresponsible enough to try to open the console and fix it themselves. | |

Big Bad: King Chicken, although he and Duckman had a truce near the end. At the end of "Cock Tales For Four", King Chicken loudly reasserts his dedication to taking over the world and destroying Duckman, but it comes across more as a cry for help than anything he intends to actually follow through on. His only other appearances would be a story based on Hamlet that Cornfed eventually confesses to completely making up, a Star Trek parody that turns out to be a dream of Leonard Nimoy, and the finale, where it's heavily implied that he's given up his evil plans and now just wants a happy life with Bernice. | |

"Not So Different" Remark | |
Duckman / int_984ef9ef | comment |
"Not So Different" Remark: In "Cock Tales For Four", King Chicken blames Duckman for his life being a failure, due to Duckman ridiculing him to the other children when they were kids. However, after King Chicken says that Duckman couldn't possibly know what it's like to be an outcast, Duckman snaps: "I know exactly what that's like! [long pause] ...After you ran home, they always beat me up." This revelation causes the two to realize they have a lot in common, and temporarily become friends... until King Chicken's wife comes onto Duckman and King Chicken blames Duckman for it, thereby reinstating the long-standing feud between the two. | |

Medium Blending: The episode "My Feral Lady" features a sequence where Duckman and his wife-to-be appear on the live action daytime talk show "Leeza". "Papa Oom M.O.W. M.O.W." has a rather lengthy live action sequence, a made-for-TV movie based on Duckman thwarting the assassin. "The Color of Naught" has the aforementioned cutaway to a live action news anchor (played by Walt Reno Jr., who did many incidental characters in the series). | |

Multiple-Choice Past | |
Duckman / int_a426ae28 | comment |
Multiple-Choice Past: There are three completely contradictory accounts of how and when Duckman and Cornfed first met, all with evidence supporting them. In "Civil War," they met in a bakery where Cornfed was working as a clerk, by which time Duckman had settled down in his present home in southern California, and Duckman (grudgingly) admits to remembering this. In "The Girls of Route Canal", they met in an airport where Cornfed was working as a baggage handler and "moonlighting" as a trucker while Duckman was wandering the world searching for Beatrice, whom he met in Iowa. This is from a story Duckman remembers clearly and gets genuinely emotional about. In "From Brad to Worse," the two first met in college, before Duckman knew Beatrice or Cornfed had any job, and this is corroborated by a third party (Brad) who was friends with them in the same college. | |

Cracker considers it the best thing to ever happen to him, as (thanks to an agent) he went on to become a rich celebrity. He even mocks Duckman for it - saying revenge against a nobody would be a waste of time. Then he gets a package that turns out to be from the Mad Bomber... | |

Slipping a Mickey: In "The Road to Dendron", Duckman is rescued by Princess Fallopia, but doesn't want to sleep with her because she looks virtually identical to Ajax and it would be weird. So he asks an aide to slip Fallopia a mickey every night, and the next morning he tells her a tall tale about how good he was in bed with her. | |

Character Filibuster: Duckman used a rant as a filibuster in "Inherit the Judgment: The Dope's Trial" to irritate King Chicken into revealing his plot to the court. We see the ending of one at the start of "Das Sub," as Duckman stands trial for land fraud. According to the judge, Duckman had already "acted out five Leprechaun movies, six Puppet Master movies and nine Maniac Cop movies." And of course his epic rant on the human condition that gets him committed to an asylum in "Room with a Bellevue." | |

Red Shirt: The waiter in "Apocalypse Not", who even protests that he's not going to perform a dangerous task instead of the main characters, because he's a one-shot and nobody will care if he dies. Bernice says that's nonsense, and after the waiter predictably dies, she half-heartedly mourns his loss, but screws it when she can't remember the waiter's name. And in "Where No Duckman Has Gone Before", Fluffy and Uranus appropriately play the "red shirt" characters from Star Trek. | |

Take That!: In "Clip Job", Ajax basically equates Walker, Texas Ranger with sewage. King Chicken's full name is George Herbert Walker Chicken. In "Inherit the Judgement: The Dope's Trial", Charles and Mambo wander into a trailer park, where one of the residents throws a box out his window and almost hits the duo. Charles asks what the box is, and the man says, "Nielsen Box. Whole trailer park's got 'em." In "Apocalypse Not", Duckman throws a brick at the building of The WB "for sucking" while trashing the vacant city. Numerous jabs are taken at the Republican Party. See Straw Character above for one example. In "Not So Easy Riders", Duckman manages to enrage a bunch of bikers and Cornfed tells him that he should try what Pee-wee Herman did in that one movie. Duckman retorts that he doesn't think its appropriate, nor is he in the mood. | |

Precision F-Strike: In "Research and Destroy", Bernice lets loose on a snooty bouncer who keeps her and the family waiting in line for Ajax's performance, despite being family: After the bouncer makes a remark about fog, Bernice keeps saying "fogging" while yelling at the bouncer. So while not the actual "f" word, "fogging" sounds close enough. In "Inherit the Judgment: The Dope's Trial", Cornfed asks Duckman: "Are you out of your (beep)ing mind?!" In "American Dicks", the cameraman's first introduction to Duckman is him swearing repeatedly, with each instance bleeped out. Even though bleeped, it's pretty obvious what words he's saying, given the context. Demonstrated many times when Fluffy and Uranus snap at Duckman in "Forbidden Fruit". | |

However, when they look, Duckman is actually doing leg exercises, and is none too pleased that his assistants are watching him. | |

Distant Prologue | |
Duckman / int_bcac7f63 | comment |
Distant Prologue: "Ride the High School" begins in "Africa, A Long Time Ago", where a father is teaching his son how to kill animals for food. It then cuts to "Austria, A Little Later", where a father is teaching his son how to play the harpsichord. It then cuts to "Virginia, A Little Later Still", where George Washington cut down the cherry tree. Finally, it cuts to the present: "Duckman's House, Tuesday", where Duckman is watching static on TV in the vain hopes that the Bouncing Naked Flesh Channel will be temporarily unscrambled. Also utilized in "Joking the Chicken", for a 2001 parody that starts in prehistoric times and then cuts to the present. | |

Duckman / int_bd8aa92a | comment |
Negative Continuity: In "You've Come a Wrong Way, Baby", Grandma-ma is revealed to still be Agnes Delrooney from several months earlier and even waking up and participating in the plot. This is an interesting example, since in "Crime, Punishment, War, Peace, and the Idiot" before this episode we'd seen a flashback inside Grandma-ma's mind implying she was still Grandma-ma and suggesting the show was going to have no continuity with respect to Agnes replacing her, only for Agnes to show up in a later episode. | |

Attack Of The 50 Ft Whatever "The Amazing Colossal Duckman" had Duckman continually growing every time he gets enraged. Later inverted when his condition shrinks him when isolated from other people. "Apocalypse Not" opens with a Godzilla-style parody culminating in soldiers destroying Duckman's sex doll, which grew to enormous proportions when he left it plugged into an air compressor. | |

The Meaning of Life: In one episode, Duckman dies and meets God, who before sending him back to Earth gives him an Etch-A-Sketch. Duckman is angry about getting such a lame gift, until God tells him that it has the Meaning of Life written on it. By then, however, Duckman's angry gesticulating had erased it completely. | |

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Zig-zagged, as Duckman often deliberately antagonizes Bernice and merits an asskicking or two to keep him in line.

Nice, Mean, and In-Between | |
Duckman / int_c1cef253 | comment |
Nice Mean And In Between: The Hufnagel triplets: we have Beatrice as the nice one who brought out the best in Duckman when she was around, Bernice as the snarky, mean one who will beat up Duckman at any opportunity she gets (usually for justified reasons), and Beverly as the in-between, as she can be as sweet as Beatrice but as snarky as Bernice when she needs to be. At the detective agency, we have the nauseatingly sweet Fluffy and Uranus (nice), the crabby, lazy, and perverted Bad Boss Duckman (mean), and selfless but hypercompetent and serious Cornfed (in-between). Duckman's family too, to some extent: Ajax doesn't have a single mean bone in his body (nice), Bernice retains her mean role, while Charles and Mambo consist of the in-between, as they both disapprove of their dad as much as their aunt does, but they care about him enough to still call him their dad and help him when necessary (as long as he doesn't screw up). | |

Shout-Out | |
Duckman / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Duckman's middle name, Tiberius, is a reference to the middle name of Captain James Kirk. In "The Road to Dendron", Duckman is forced into a metal cage and lowered towards lava. This is definitely a reference to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. "The Road To Dendron" and "Haunted Society Plumbers" are whole-episode references to the Bob Hope movies from the 40's and 50's. In "Das Sub," a parody of 1995's Nixon sees Duckman re-enact the part where Nixon looks at a picture of JFK. As Duckman is filling the Nixon role, Dr. Katz is in the picture. The series finale shows Ajax reciting the same marriage speech as Luca Brasi. Duckman and Cornfed's plumbing business' theme song in "Haunted Society Plumbers" has the same melody as the Tiny Toon Adventures theme. The episode "The Mallardian Candidate" is itself a shout out. The evil organization in the episode also has a Room 101 in their HQ. In "Ebony, Baby", Duckman says "Flawless Victory. FINISH HIM!" after Ebony beats up a bunch of minions. | |

What, Exactly, Is His Job?: One aspect of the show that was sadly de-emphasized in the third and fourth seasons is Duckman's detective agency job. There are episodes where he comes to the office but the actual detective work is almost an afterthought, in contrast to many episodes in the first two seasons where it's a bigger focus. | |

Postmodernism: The series dabbles in this kind of humor, usually with its references and jabs at the USA Network. Two episodes stand in particular. "Clip Job" features an irate viewer criticizes Duckman's terrible character using footage of the show as evidence. And "How to Suck in Business Without Really Trying" has "Variecom" capitalizing on Duckman being a character to represent the USA Network, but has to con Duckman out of his name due to Duckman actually existing in a universe that also features a fictional character named Duckman. Complete with Duckman having to dress up in a costume of himself to make money. | |

Hand Wave | |
Duckman / int_dbb414ed | comment |
Hand Wave: Utilized in "The Road to Dendron" when the villain explains why he kidnapped Ajax, which seemingly had nothing to do with his plan to kill the princess. The instant he begins to explain, a cow walks in front of the camera and munches so loudly you can't hear him. A few seconds later, the cow walks away, only to hear the villain concluding, "And that's why I did it!" In "Westward No!", Big Jack McBastard comes back at the end of the episode, alive and well. When Duckman and Cornfed are baffled how he could've survived being trampled and eaten by vultures, McBastard simply says, "Long story." | |

Orgy of Evidence: In "A Civil War," Duckman's lust for Val de Ree, the hot widow of a murdered business executive, leads him to ignoring multiple clues, including a bloody knife, an actual Smoking Gun, a recording of the murder, a parrot yelling "Stop it Val! You're killing me!", and the victim's still-warm body. It was actually the factory's burly foreman in a disturbingly form-fitting Val costume. | |

Mandatory Line: In "Sperms of Endearment" Cornfed suddenly appears at Duckman's door. Duckman says it's a bad time right now but Cornfed states that he's required to appear in every episode for at least 10 seconds. In "Ebony, Baby", the opening scene with Cornfed going on vacation seemingly serves the same purpose, as it has nothing to do with the episode's plot. | |

After the second shot, he complained that he caught some rim. | |

Biting-the-Hand Humor: USA was a frequent target of the series. In "Papa Oom M.O.W. M.O.W.", Duckman cuts a deal with USA to air the movie about his life story. And again, during the movie. "Color of Naught" has several jokes poking fun at USA for airing them on Saturday nights alongside a show with an incompatible audience. King Chicken even says USA is okay with him killing the casts of both shows, as they can save money by just rerunning Silk Stalkings. One where USA wasn't the target was in "How to Suck in Business Without Really Trying". Viacom, the rightsholder to the show at the time, was parodied as Variecom. | |

At the end of "Cock Tales For Four", King Chicken loudly reasserts his dedication to taking over the world and destroying Duckman, but it comes across more as a cry for help than anything he intends to actually follow through on. His only other appearances would be a story based on Hamlet that Cornfed eventually confesses to completely making up, a Star Trek parody that turns out to be a dream of Leonard Nimoy, and the finale, where it's heavily implied that he's given up his evil plans and now just wants a happy life with Bernice. | |

Jerkass: Yes, it's Duckman. It's a core driver of the show's plots and comedy. His uncle, Moe Dorkin is even worse, to the point where he inflicts psychological torment on Duckman and even Cornfed defines him as just plain evil. Not even Beverly is safe from his bile. Despite appearing in only two episodes, he's arguably the most obnoxious, unbearable character in the entire series. | |

New Job as the Plot Demands | |
Duckman / int_f21d434a | comment |
New Job as the Plot Demands: Art De Salvo and Terry Duke Tetzlov, two recurring characters who usually fill in when a plot requires a sleazy agent, unqualified doctor, human trafficker or similar scumbag. Justified in that both men are scummy sleazebags who probably aren't legally allowed to perform a certain job for very long. Taken to a hilarious extreme in "Grandma-ma's Flatulent Adventure" where Duckman is delivering a eulogy at a funeral parlour owned by Tetzlov. He looks up when he is done speaking to see the funeral parlour is now a video game arcade. | |

Breast Expansion | |
Duckman / int_f41b26d | comment |
Breast Expansion: When Duckman goes to get a billjob in "Psyche", there is a woman in the background getting a similar procedure on her chest. She starts off relatively normal-sized until they become bigger than her body, at which point they pop and she's sent flying. | |

Product Placement | |
Duckman / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: In "Days of Whining and Neurosis" when the killers ask Cornfed how he put the clues together: A tongue-in-cheek one occurs towards the end of "You've Come a Wrong Way, Baby" when Duckman plugs Blockbuster Video, saying you can rent 7 Faces of Dr. Lao there. He even uses Blockbuster's slogan at the time. | |

Drives Like Crazy | |
Duckman / int_f96f188c | comment |
Drives Like Crazy: Duckman in "Aged Heat", where he inadvertently destroys an entire city block with his reckless driving. Though in his defense, he was under great mental stress at the time, due to Agnes threatening him to go about his normal daily routine, even though Agnes had his whole family held hostage. | |

Duckman / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Duckman always doing something horribly violent to Fluffy and Uranus in every episode. Duckman screwing up Mambo's name. From "Inherit the Judgment: The Dope's Trial", the sunglasses-wearing cop. | |

Don't Explain the Joke | |
Duckman / int_fabef10f | comment |
Don't Explain the Joke: In "Joking the Chicken": Jokes often have to be explained to Ajax due to his stupidity. One time, Bernice began to explain a joke about Duckman, but gave up and said, "Oh just laugh; we're belittling your father!" At which point, Ajax guffawed. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
Duckman / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: Demonstrated in "They Craved Duckman's Brain!", when bystanders overhear that Duckman has a cure for cancer in his brain. Once they start to riot when trying to grab Duckman, the doctor from the episode appeals to the crowd with a lesson: In "Cellar Beware," after the family is robbed, Ajax mentions that he went downstairs in the middle of the night to get some butter from the fridge, and didn't think anything of the burglars. Duckman bemoans how it appears he's the last person alive in "Apocalypse Not," only to then state the advantages include things like shorter lines at the post office, and being able to watch the games whenever he wanted to. During their pursuit of Ajax and the Vice Principal to stop them from getting married, Duckman and Bernice pose as a couple, and have drunken sex. The next morning, they discover what happened and freak out. And then Ajax walks in on them and states that he's appalled... that they would leave their clothes wrinkled and discarded on the floor after years of chiding him for doing so. "I don't know what feces are but they smell like crap!! In "Dammit Hollywood" Duckman is enraged by a family-oriented film he expected to be pornographic. He rants against what he perceives to be the wussification of media. | |

Pet the Dog | |
Duckman / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Deliberately avoided, if not quite often subverted. Usually thanks to Duckman acting like a jerk again once the tender moment's over, or being too oblivious or apathetic. The trope is played straight at the end of the first episode, however. After spending most of the episode in a slump due to his family disrespecting him and finding out his attempted murderer wanted another duck detective dead, Duckman is consoled by his worried sons. Ajax even gives him a chunk of his sandwich. | |
