TV: Duck Tales

Post by broken iris »

Onion A/V Club did a great write up on this a while back:

http://www.avclub.com/articles/ducktale ... -qu,92324/

There was a scene in the show when a lottery winner moved in next door to Scrooge and he expressed disdain that they had won their fortune via chance and he said something like "... and you did not earn it?", that and his more famous quote "Remember boys, always work smarter NOT harder." have stuck with me. This show may have had some strangely Randian undertones. Perhaps the county liquor store shouldn't have had Makers and Coke on sale at the same time.

Do you remember the episode where the nephews convince the entire world that it's Saturday instead of Friday? It's the only one I recall vividly, and I remember it's very good.

Sorry it's not on TV that I know of. Like everything else you can find it online easily enough.

I remember the episode where the nephews are able to move so fast it looks like every one else is frozen. They go to the ball game and mess with the away team and stuff. That episode has always stuck out in my head.

I was always more of a Darkwing Duck fan. Gizmoduck was the best.

The "please stop emailing me for a quote" quote made me laugh.

I am amazed that something that broke last week took until today to get posted. Internet time being what it is, you know.

"Suck ass, evildoers!"
Spoiler: show
I know it's "suck gas" but my friend's dad banned the show at their house and told my friend he wasn't allowed to watch it at my house because he misheard the line. Hilarious.
