A convention and Darkwing, Gosalyn, and Launchpad's disagreement about whose comic book hero is superior take a backseat when Splatter Phoenix reappears. Defeating her may take even more unconventional tactics than usual.
Paint Misbehavin' contains examples of the following tropes:
- Charm Person: Sir-Real Man is threatening Darkwing and Quiverwing when Frankie Ferret asks him to be friends. He immediately abandons supervillainy to skip off hand-in-hand with Frankie.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: Launchpad manages to save Darkwing and Quiverwing from Splatter's own superhero, Sir-Real Man, by painting his favorite comic character, Fred Rogers expy Frankie Ferret, into being. Frankie promptly befriends Sir-Real Man and the two skip off into the night.
- Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: The title refers to the song "Ain't Misbehaving."
- Sickeningly Sweet: Even after finding out that "Friend Power" is effective, Gosalyn still dislikes it.Darkwing: Wow! Friend Power really worked!Gosalyn: Yeah, but it was so gross.
- Went to the Great X in the Sky: When trying to kill Darkwing, Gosalyn and Launchpad with her Octobunny monster, Splatter Phoenix states that she's going to send them to the great canvas in the sky.
