Quack Pack is a short-lived 1996 Disney afternoon show featuring Donald Duck, his now-grown nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and his girlfriend Daisy. The three nephews are now portrayed as teenagers, and much less interchangeable than in previous depictions: as might be expected by the rules of Chromatic Arrangement, Huey is depicted as the leader, Dewey is depicted as the tech-whiz, and Louie is depicted as a bit of a nerd as well as the jock-type.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Seemed almost designed to inspire cries of They Changed It, Now It Sucks! from Disney purists, fans of the earlier DuckTales (1987), and fans of the classic comics, the inhabitants of Duckburg are now (save Donald, Daisy and the nephews) largely human, the nephews speak with still duck-like voices, but far less "Donald Duck" speech (as opposed to the really "Donald Duck in a higher pitch" voices of DuckTales (1987)), the costumes have been redesigned to be Totally Radical (and to include pants), and Daisy and Donald now work as a reporter and cameraman for a TV show entitled What in the World. Save for the occasional visit by Ludwig Von Drake (and in one episode, a cameo by Pluto), no other character of the Duck Universe appears. Some fans argue that the producers intentionally filled the world with humans in order to separate the show's universe from that of DuckTales (1987) and Darkwing Duck, which did not share Quack Pack's over-the-top wacky tone.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })As the show focuses on Donald and Co., rather than Scrooge, the tone is a bit more slapstick in nature, though the stories presented are generally of the Carl Barks and Don Rosa-type adventures the characters are known for (and, of course, a good dash of Disney Nightmare Fuel).Lasted for a single season of 39 episodes, most of which weren't seen until the show was rebroadcast on Toon Disney. Apparently has fallen into Canon Discontinuity, as depictions of Huey, Dewey and Louie have reverted to their classic form in future Disney productions (unlike the aging of Max Goof). However, the teen depictions of the trio from this series did make a cameo in the short comic story "Whatever Happened to Uncle Scrooge?", and they were also used in House of Mouse.The third season of DuckTales (2017) featured an homage to Quack Pack, with an episode featuring versions of the Quack Pack era triplets and Donald alongside Webby Vanderquack, Scrooge McDuck, and Mrs. Beakley (the three of whom weren't transplanted to the original show), and Della Duck (who hadn't appeared in any cartoon at the time Quack Pack aired).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Totem Pole Trench: In "Stunt Double or Nothing", after the triplets accidentally erase the tape of Kent (seemingly) performing daredevil stunts after he has threatened to fire Donald and Daisy if the triplets touch his stuff again, Huey decides they can re-create the footage with a giant Kent Powers costume topped with a bust of the genuine article; Huey balances on Dewey's shoulders and operates the costume's arms with cranks, Dewey balances on Louie's shoulders, and Louie acts as the costume's feet. | |

The Cameo: In the episode "Pride Goeth Before the Fall Guy", the boys get a packet of famous villain cards. The villain on the box is The Great Mouse Detective's Professor Ratigan. Pluto in the first episode. Scuttle from The Little Mermaid makes a brief appearance in "Phoniest Home Video". The Genie from Aladdin appears on television for a few seconds in "Ducks by Nature". One of the lions in "Cat & Louse" is Lambert the Sheepish Lion from the eponymous short. | |

Chekhov's Gag | |
Quack Pack / int_22cf50f9 | comment |
Chekhov's Gag: In "Can't Take a Yolk", the age-regressed Donald turns the tables on his nephews by subjecting them to a barrage of practical jokes, including forcing Huey to sit on a whoopee cushion and making Louie sneeze with pepper, while he knocks out their bully/rival Slab with a spring-loaded boxing glove in a heart-shaped box of chocolates. In the climax, Donald has been reduced to an egg and is about to be smashed by an unaware Gwumpki, so Huey and Dewey use the spring-loaded boxing glove to knock a pepper shaker into the ceiling fan over Gwumpki, who sneezes and sends the egg flying through the air to land on a whoopee cushion deployed by Huey. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Louie's instant lava in "The Germinator", which is first used as part of a gag and later is utilized to defeat Dr. Tovar's germs. Happens again in "The Boy Who Cried Ghost", when the cute animal costumes the triplets got from Donald are later used to scare the monsters that are trying to scare them. Louie's habit of playing the violin in "None Like It Hot" is yet another example. His brothers are annoyed by it in the beginning of the episode, but later proves to be the key to thwarting Nestor Nocturno's plan. | |

Cordon Bleugh Chef: Averted in one episode; Gwumpki invents something called "Tasty Paste", a gooey, slightly chunky paste that looks questionable (like slime), but tastes fantastic. The boys buy the recipe and the rights to sell it from Gwumpki, turning it into a massive corporate empire until an industrial accident turns the stuff into a giant kaiju. Then the boys wake up. Just when they think it was All Just a Dream, Gwumpki offers them a taste of his latest creation: Tasty Paste! | |

Mythology Gag: In "Pardon My Molecules", a video of one of Daisy's earlier news reports depicts her wearing her classic bow and dress apparel. Daisy is ashamed that she ever dressed like that on live television. In "Leader of the Quack", Donald appears in his classic sailor suit in the flashback. The youth elixir in "Can't Take a Yolk" initially causes Donald to look and dress like he did in his debut short, The Wise Little Hen. | |

Lampshade Hanging: Several, usually of the kind with characters pointing out how over the top things have gotten, though one episode they have a more direct one. The nephews have developed superpowers thanks to one of Ludwig Von Drake's inventions. Things get severely out of hand when Donald becomes a supervillain, and he ends up destroying EVERYTHING IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE, with one exception: Von Drake's lab. Naturally, he's invented a way to fix everything. Huey is quick to point out how incredibly convenient this is. | |

Destructive Savior: In "Gator Aid", Daisy's effort to stop the gold depository from being raided result in it being destroyed instead. Lampshaded by Daisy herself "We saved the depository!" (pull back to show the crumbling remains of the building) "...Well... some of it." The boys as the T-Squad, where with superpowers they tend to cause massive destruction for the sake of minor saves, and sometimes don't even get the job done at all. The first time, they ended up blowing up everything but - conveniently - Ludwig von Drake's laboratory. Lampshaded several times by Louie the second time they were forced to do it: | |

Marilyn Maneuver: Daisy in "Koi Story". After Gil dashes so fast he's a blur and carries her to where the giant fish bowl is, and places her down, his motion causes Daisy's skirt to lift somewhat and she does the one-leg-lift pose. In "Can't Take a Yolk", this occurs with the Mergancer twins, Alexandra and Cassandra. When the Whirl-N-Hurl ride they're in is sped up, both their hair and skirts rise. One of them has another when she leaps for joy as the teenage Donald admits he was the one who caused the ride to go faster. | |

However, he becomes unsatisfied once he is king of the world, knowing that no one truly respects him and he's being honored only because of the device on his head. | |

PantyShot | |
Quack Pack / int_5a1819b7 | comment |
Panty Shot: There have been a few of these in this: In "Pardon My Molecules", after Donald, Daisy and the nephews first arrive in a desert to set up camp, when Daisy moves as she marvels and takes in the sights while talking about getting the next story break for her and Donald's news show, the hem of her pink dress lifts slightly in a breezy draft caused by her movement, partly or slightly revealing her white, frilly unmentionables. In the same episode, a flashback involving Dr. Emile Crocker's past includes scenes in which some people in the street become horrified and faint at the sight of his face from a ray that distorted his normal face into one designed in an abstract art style. Then a teen girl scout with long, brown hair, wearing a blue beret with matching knee-length dress who is passing by notices him. She jumps with a frightened look on her face, her beret flies up (suspended in mid-air for a few seconds), her hair stands up and her dress flips up, revealing white, frilly panties before the dress flips back down, and she too faints. In "The Boy Who Cried Ghost", the female viking ghost's undies are shown from behind, as she jostles against the blue ghost and vampire to escape a room. In "Heavy Dental", Huey is watching three cheerleaders from a stadium entrance to the field and they're seen waving their pompoms and jumping, which causes their close-fitted mini-skirts to lift slightly, revealing peeks of their blue panties. Huey then uses his dental head gear to control the cheerleaders. Averted with Daisy in "Koi Story" by wearing none. See one of the tropes above this for more info. | |

In a Call-Back to an Imagine Spot from earlier in the episode, Donald refuses to come back unless Kent begs him. Kent resists - for all of three seconds: | |

After distracting Captain Muscle (Louie) with a meteor and The Really Incredibly Fast Guy (Huey) with a tidal wave, the disaster the Zalcrovian Overlord uses to keep Brain Boy (Dewey) from saving Donald is said to be "bad clams", but it turns out to refer to an airplane pilot eating bad clams and becoming comatose mid-flight, causing the plane to crash. In the same episode, upon arriving to Zalcrovia, the Zalcrovians speculate about Donald's supposed greatness, from "It is said that Donald Duck has the strength of ten spudnavs" to "It is said that he eats forty Zalcrovians for breakfast", and finally to "It is said that he lip-syncs all his concerts". | |

Humiliation Conga: Kent Powers suffers a very satisfying one at the end of "Stunt Double or Nothing", where Donald, Daisy, and the triplets get back at Kent for cheating to win his bet by having him dress like a clown and be tricked into doing degrading things while being filmed live. | |

Dogs Love Fire Hydrants | |
Quack Pack / int_8a53606f | comment |
Dogs Love Fire Hydrants: In "The Germinator", in order to make it possible for the shrunk Huey, Dewey, Louie and Dr. Tovar to leave Donald's body, Daisy makes Donald cry by reading him a parody of Old Yeller. The last line she reads mentions the dog going to the old fire hydrant in the sky. Donald at one point disguises himself as a fire hydrant in "Nosy Neighbors". His disguise backfires when a dog starts chasing him. | |

Quack Pack / int_8a5dc833 | comment |
It Runs on Nonsensoleum: "The Island of the Not-So-Nice" involves a devolution ray that runs on protein being powered by mass quantities of peanut butter. It's deduced from this by Dewey that the cure to the transformation, besides a second dose from the day, must be fruit jelly, because "jelly is the natural opposite of peanut butter". | |

Character Exaggeration | |
Quack Pack / int_9002083e | comment |
Character Exaggeration: For Huey, Dewey and Louie. Traditionally they have looked and behaved identically, but in DuckTales (1987) they still looked alike but started to have hints of individual personalities (Huey as the leader, Dewey as The Smart Guy and Louie as the tagalong). Here, these personalities have been strengthened and made clearer, for the first time making the boys clearly distinct characters. | |

Since this episode is set in a gold mine, Claw undergoes this at least a dozen times in 22 minutes. | |

Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul | |
Quack Pack / int_98412467 | comment |
Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul: In the third act of "Ducky Dearest", Donald, terrified that his nephews are falling into a life of crime, drags them to Camp Happy, the decoration for which can best be described as a nightmarish version of the usual idyllic Disney woodland; the animals are wooden cutouts with deranged smiles, and the park is filled with speakers blasting the tuneless chant "WE'RE HAPPY! WE'RE HAPPY! WE'RE OH-SO-VERY HAPPY!". When the boys try to make a run for it, a huge wall topped with barbed wire rises out of the ground in front of them, and as the wooden cutout animals surround them, the lyrics shift to the more sinister "THERE'S NO ESCAPE FROM HAPPY!" | |

Quack Pack / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: One episode has Donald forced to serve one more day in the Navy (which he had been part of during DuckTales (1987)). Donald was lying to make his nephews proud. Here, he does the same for Daisy. Though she never gets wise. But in both episodes, Donald does save the day. "Return of the T-Squad" is one for both "The Late Donald Duck" and "The Really Mighty Ducks". The Zalcrovian Overlord from "The Late Donald Duck" appears and even mentions how Donald managed to accidentally thwart his plan to invade Earth. The callback to "The Really Mighty Ducks" is that it has the triplets become their superhero personae again and Louie shows reluctance by pointing out that the last time they became superheroes, the whole universe was destroyed. | |

Canon Discontinuity: Some would argue it was this from the start, since previous animated duck universe shows had no humans in them (and in fact, when Darkwing Duck was transported to another dimension and saw humans for the first time, he was horrified, referring to them as "hideous, beakless mutants"). It's possibly an Alternate Universe from the main line. | |

Fortunately, the triplets saw the situation and helped free Donald, while said koi rescued him and got him to the surface. | |

Deadpan Snarker: Pretty much all of the regular characters trade off on this, even Donald, though Daisy has it most consistently. Most episodes have at least one of the nephews (usually Louie) be more levelheaded than the rest and spend the episode being snarky about things. Often combined with Aside Glance, with the characters turning to the camera and flatly snarking about what's going on. | |

The Bet: In "Stunt Double or Nothing", Kent bristles at the press attention Daisy gets for her daring pieces to Donald's camera while he, out of a combination of vanity and cowardice, sticks to safe yet dull material. He bets Daisy that he can perform an episode that requires white water rafting without oars, hang-gliding into an active volcano, and getting up close and personal with a pride of lions; if he wins, Daisy and Donald will quit their jobs, while if he loses, they will get his luxury tent and everything in it. Kent wins... at first; when Donald and Daisy discover he manipulated Bobo the gorilla into being his stunt double, they join with the triplets to subject Kent to a Humiliation Conga live on camera. | |

Hypocritical Humor: "Pride Goeth Before the Fall Guy" has two examples. When Kent Powers criticizes Donald for never planning ahead, he then bumps into a wall because he wasn't looking where he was going. After that, Donald claims to know a thief when he sees one and then gullibly gives his keys to a burglar who claims to be a parking valet. Another example occurs in "The Late Donald Duck", when Kent Powers accuses Donald of being self-centered, when he himself is rather egotistical. | |

He screams to be let go, offering to refund Donald's money (which he's already re-claimed anyway), anything, as long as they stop playing the song.

Shout-Out | |
Quack Pack / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: When Donald is de-aged to his teenage years, his appearance is based on his design from his original appearance in The Wise Little Hen. In "Long Arm Of The Claw", the scene where Claw is raging on top of a cliff only to revert to his nice persona when he hears a church bell is based on the Night On Bald Mountain segment from Fantasia. Huey, Dewey, and Louie's escape montage in "Phoniest Home Videos" is a nod to The Great Escape. "Koi Story" is a play on the title of Toy Story, which had come out the previous year; to reinforce the connection, the title card uses the same font as the film. The reveal of Huey's braces in "Heavy Dental" is preceded by him doing a blatant parody of The Phantom of the Opera, even playing an Ominous Pipe Organ. | |

Freudian Excuse: In "None Like It Hot", the villain Nestor Nocturno wants to use a rocket with a large lens to cause the sun to burn everyone on Earth because he was laughed at in a school play where he was forced to play the sun. | |

In "Pardon My Molecules", a video of one of Daisy's earlier news reports depicts her wearing her classic bow and dress apparel. Daisy is ashamed that she ever dressed like that on live television. | |

Power Trio | |
Quack Pack / int_ca85e684 | comment |
Power Trio: The triplets, naturally. They hit several types: though exactly which roles each brother plays depends on the episode, in general Huey is The Hero, Dewey is The Lancer / The Smart Guy and Louie is The Chick / The Heart, but there's also: Freudian Trio: Dewey as typically the impulsive one (the Id, atypically for a character who is also The Smart Guy), Louie generally being the reasonable - if softhearted - one (Superego) and Huey usually as the one who can be both (or neither) - all depending on the episode. Fighter, Mage, Thief: When they turned into superheroes - Louie became a Flying Brick, Dewey became a telekinetic with an enormous brain and Huey essentially became The Flash. Speed, Smarts and Strength: When Huey, Dewey, and Louie get superpowers in the first episode they become The Really Incredibly Fast Guy (Super Speed), Brain-Boy (super intelligence and psychic powers), and Captain Muscle (Super Strength) respectively. Invoked in their theme song The T-Squad has 'muscles, brains, and speed to spare' | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive | |
Quack Pack / int_cbe687ab | comment |
"Tasty Paste" ends with everything turning out to be a dream and the triplets refusing Gwumpki's offer after seeing themselves become Corrupt Corporate Executives in their shared dream and instead Daisy strikes up the deal after tasting some, implying the whole thing is going to happen again, except for real and Daisy is in charge of the company in addition to becoming obese. | |

Fake Ultimate Hero | |
Quack Pack / int_da3043c5 | comment |
Fake Ultimate Hero: The titular character of "Hit the Road, Backwater Jack" is an alleged adventurer hero who has written many books on his exploits and is idolized by Dewey. It later turns out that Backwater Jack is actually a coward who made up all his adventures, but he ends up becoming a hero for real in the end by helping the Ducks in their current escapade. Huey and Louie even show Backwater Jack their respect by keeping Dewey in the dark about his hero's true cowardly nature. | |

Something We Forgot: Done intentionally in "Leader of the Quack". The duck cast managed to escape some hostile country, then one of the nephews asks if they had forgotten something. Realizing Kent Powers had accidentally been left behind, they all smirk and feign ignorance. Cut to Kent getting pounded into the ground by a knight with a mace. | |

A Taste of Their Own Medicine: Much of "Can't Take a Yolk" sees the triplets being on the receiving end of the kind of pranks and shenanigans they typically dish out. Bonus points for it being Donald (made more youthful by an elixir) that's doing it to them. | |

Expy: Donald's cousin Mel appears in one episode and looks, sounds, and acts like Herb Muddlefoot. A minor recurring character is Gustav Goose, who has a few similarities with Donald's cousin Gus Goose, mainly in that both have similar names and are overweight. The salesman from "Can't Take a Yolk" is Leslie J. Clark from the Donald short "Duck Pimples" with a different name. Nelly the dragon from "Leader of the Quack" is basically The Reluctant Dragon as a woman. | |

Accidental Truth: Happens in "Hero Today, Don Tomorrow", when Donald attempts to impress his nephews by claiming to know Flint Steele when they were younger. At the end of the episode, it turns out that Flint Steele actually did meet Donald when they were younger (Steele used to be a skinny child that Donald played practical jokes on, and it was Donald's pranks that motivated Steele to become the athletic celebrity that he is today). | |

Bad "Bad Acting" | |
Quack Pack / int_f19e8a55 | comment |
Bad "Bad Acting": In "Pride Goeth Before the Fall Guy", Donald and his nephews lay the bait to expose Nigel Nightshade as a criminal mastermind by having a loud conversation about the treasure the key he has stolen supposedly unlocks. However, Donald is feeding the boys their lines with cue cards, and as he has only written a few words on each card, the resulting vocal inflections are all over the place. Nigel falls for it anyway (despite looking out of his window at the boys and seeing them looking in the same direction rather than at each other). | |

The gag of crashing through a wall and leaving a hole shaped like oneself happens twice in "Ducky Dearest", first with Donald (who crashes through a wall after trying to use explosives to open the locked attic door) and the second time with Huey, Dewey and Louie (who run through the wall of a van after finding out Donald has sent them to Camp Happy). | |
