History WesternAnimation / DarkwingDuck

* LighterAndFluffier: Compare the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2UFFzPsSsg original intro]] with the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=375ENQbru8s one used for all the following seasons and DVD release]]. Don't you miss some... [[MoreDakka dakka?]]

* HugeGirlTinyGuy: Morgana is significantly taller than Darkwing.

* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Darkwing and Morgana.

* HumiliationConga: [=NegaDuck=]'s defeat at the end of "Just Us Justice Ducks" is one of the funniest examples this troper has ever seen.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: At the end of issue #11, just as [[spoiler:Duckthulhu comes to life after Steelbeak doublecrosses Darkwing again, NOW starting to regret it]]
-->'''Steelbeak''': What have I done?

* {{Crossover}}: In the mid-1990s, the [[TheLegendOfTheChaosGod Chaos God]] story arc within the comics pages of ''DisneyAdventures'' linked Darkwing Duck to the continuities of ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'', ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'', ''GoofTroop'', and (unsurprisingly) ''DuckTales'', all via a [[SealedEvilInACan possessed medallion]].

** [[FridgeLogic When you consider]] [[Capcom who was making Disney's videogames at the time]], it kinda makes sense...

* {{Expy}}: Whiffle Boy seems to be one to ''Game/MegaMan''.

* NoProblemWithLicensedGames: The Darkwing Duck game for the NES was basically a short Megaman clone (not surprising, considering they're made by [[{{Capcom}} the same people]]) with a couple new mechanics added. It was actually quite popular - the player review average score on Gamefaqs is about 7.8 out of 10.

* IAmTheTrope

** One episode of Darkwing Duck had Gosselyn somehow create evil clones of herself with PersonalityPowers, who are eventually captured and [[SealedEvilInACan trapped somewhere]]. The villain, who had helped with the capture, warns the protagonists that the evil clones could come back if they wanted—all they'd need was a particular device. The screen fades to black, and then the clones appear onscreen, the leader saying "Hey, kid...we need you to get something for us." All three of them suddenly lean forward, giggling "Pretty pleeeaaase?" The device in question is a Particle Accelerator, which becomes doubly funny when you get older and realize that CRTs, found in every television set in the world back then, [[GeniusBonus are particle accelerators]].

* EvilLaugh

* TheTelevisionTalksBack: When [=NegaDuck=] marches into a theater to watch an action movie, he gets annoyed when he realizes it's a TastesLikeDiabetes animated film about talking rabbits (one wonders how he missed the giant sign outside stating just that). He gets into an argument with the rabbits on the screen before dispersing them and the audience with a rifle. Then he proceeds to ''jump into the screen and roll out in a tank''.

* DefiedTrope: At the end of an EnemyMine episode.

* AllJustADream: [[[[OrWasItADream Subverted]] in "Dead Duck". After dying and spending the rest of the episode as a ghost, Darkwing wakes up in his bed at the end. Then Lucifer shows up in the real world in a pre-credits gag, and later on even has an entire episode dedicated to him.]]
