YMMV / Duck Tales S 1 E 9 Dime Enough For Luck

• Catharsis Factor: After thirty-nine years of watching him smugly strut through life with his insufferable luck, comics fans get to watch the insufferable Gladstone Gander suffer without his luck. It's amazing!!
  Gladstone: I don't believe it — I've lost my luck! No food, no money... gasp I'll have to get a JOB like normal people!!!
• Genius Bonus: Gladstone Gander hums "Luck Be a Lady" just before he is brainwashed into helping Magica and has his luck turned bad. While it works just based on the title and Gladstone's Born Luckiness, viewers who know the song will get more out of the joke, given that "Luck Be a Lady" is actually talking about how unreliable luck is — the lyrics amount to, "Luck, please be a lady tonight, and don't skip out on me and leave me to hang, because you do that a lot."
• Hilarious in Hindsight: This episode has Magica De Spell tricking Gladstone Gander into stealing Scrooge's #1 Dime using the illusion of a game show host voiced by Corey Burton and Gladstone losing his good luck because of unwittingly using it to help Magica. The video game Donald Duck: Goin' Qu@ckers would later have Gladstone become the game's Butt-Monkey by constantly being injured for comedic effect and had him voiced by Corey Burton to boot.
  • Said illusion is adaptated in the Brazilian dub, turning the TV host into a parody of Silvio Santos, the founder of Brazilian channel SBT, the same TV channel where DuckTales first aired in Brazil.
