Line #7 Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E63BadLuckDuck


1	While tracking Negaduck, Darkwing runs afoul of a witch doctor after his EvilTwin steals an amulet that can bring inanimate objects to life. The resulting bad luck curse makes defeating Negaduck even more difficult.
2	!!This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
3	* TenMinuteRetirement: Thanks to the bad luck curse stymieing his attempts to stop Negaduck, Darkwing momentarily considered giving up. It took Gosalyn bringing in his fan club (and their InelegantBlubbering) to [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan snap him out of it]].
4	* AbhorrentAdmirer: One of Darkwing's fan club, a stout lady, apparently has a CelebCrush on him. Darkwing doesn't enjoy her attempts to show her affection.
5	* AnythingButThat: The witch doctor's two assistants say he should punish Darkwing any other way (including boiling oil) but with the curse of eternal bad luck.
6	* ArbitrarySkepticism: Darkwing Duck, a caped crimefighter who battles superpowered villains of all stripes on a regular basis, refuses to believe in a bad luck curse. Even as the universe [[TheJinx repeatedly proves him wrong]].
7	* BananaPeel: At one point, Darkwing slips on one while [[FailedAttemptAtDrama trying to make his dramatic entrance]].
8	-->'''Darkwing:''' Okay! Who left the banana peel there?!
9	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: While at the meeting of his fan club, Darkwing halfheartedly wishes there was a crisis to save everyone from so he could demonstrate the heroics his fans idolize. A second later, Negaduck's animated lion comes in.
10	-->'''Darkwing:''' Aah! I've got to watch what I wish for!
11	* CapeSnag: Darkwing gets his cape caught in the hood of a car just when the animated Hamburger Hippo is bearing down on him. He pointedly tells Launchpad to remind him not buy anymore rip-proof capes. As a BrickJoke during the climax, when Darkwing is holding onto Negaduck's cape to keep from falling off his boat, it rips, with Negaduck saying ''he'' doesn't buy rip-proof capes.
12	* FireBreathingDiner: Invoked by Gosalyn to get her, Darkwing, and Launchpad out of Hamburger Hippo. Gosalyn tricks Darkwing into eating a burger containing ''extremely'' hot chili peppers, causing him to fly through the roof like a rocket.
13	* FunWithHomophones: After receiving one too many injuries, Darkwing declares "Someone get me a doctor!", just as the witch doctor [[RightBehindMe shows up behind him]], causing Launchpad to shout out "Witch Doctor!"
14	-->'''Darkwing:''' I don't know! ''Any'' doctor! ''(Turns around to see the witch doctor)'' Except that one!
15	* HydrantGeyser: Weaponized by Negaduck when he uses the amulet to animate a bunch of hydrants to flood out Darkwing's fan club parade.
16	* IAlwaysWantedToSayThat: Said by Negaduck when he declares "Today St. Canard, tomorrow the world!".
17	* JawDrop: Upon seeing the power of the Witch Doctor's amulet when he uses it to stop an erupting volcano, Negaduck's beak falls open in awe...and [[JustThinkOfThePotential realizes the havoc he could cause with it]].
18	* TheJinx: Darkwing becomes one when the witch doctor casts a bad luck curse on him.
19	* MistakenIdentity: Due to looking like Negaduck, Darkwing ends up being the target of the witch doctor's wrath for the theft of his amulet.
20	* NotHelpingYourCase: When the Witch Doctor and his assistants corner Darkwing thinking he's Negaduck and demand the amulet back, Darkwing makes things worse by firing a net over them. This is what prompts the Witch Doctor to curse Darkwing.
21	* PantheraAwesome: Negaduck brings [[LivingStatue a lion statue to life]] to chase his nemesis.
22	* ShoutOut:
23	** When explaining something, Darkwing says, "[[Franchise/SherlockHolmes Elementary, my dear Launchpad.]]"
24	** One of the magic words the witch doctor uses is "[[WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo]]."
25	* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Both Gosalyn and Negaduck independently express the opinion that Darkwing's fan club looks more like a fundraiser for the "Save the Geeks" foundation.
26	* TelevisionPortal: A variation as the Witch Doctor is able to undo the bad luck curse through Darkwing's monitor.
27	* TemptingFate: Taken to a hilarious extreme. A disbelieving Darkwing is struck with a bad luck curse, and constantly dares the universe to prove it. It does, of course.
28	-->'''Darkwing''': ''(falling off the hideout)'' You see? My luck isn't bad! I could have fallen a thousand feet to my demise! ''(falls)''
29	-->'''Darkwing''': You see? My luck isn't bad! I could have been hit by a car! ''(gets hit by a car)''
30	-->'''Darkwing''': You see? My luck isn't bad... (etc)
31	* UngratefulBastard: Subverted. When the Witch Doctor leaves after regaining his amulet, Darkwing thought he was double-crossing him. Gosalyn explains that he had to go home for his spare magic rattle needed to remove his bad luck curse.
32	* UnplannedCrossdressing: As Darkwing falls through a clothesline, he ends up with a very feminine dress over his costume, just in time for his fan club to show up.
33	* VoodooDoll: A variation. The amulet Negaduck steals from the WitchDoctor allows him to create {{Animate Inanimate Object}}s using kooky clay figurines.
