*• LESBIAN REACTS - DUCKTALES - 1x06 “THE HOUSE OF THE LUCKY GANDER!” •*

[@ghastlyghifin4029]

"How big IS the Duck family?" The good news is, there's a canon answer to that, thanks to Don Rosa and Carl Barks! Bad news is it's, uh, VERY big.

[@liamphibia]

Just like in real life.

[@davidpescitelli8004]

"Who gets stuck with all the bad luck? No one, but Donald Duck." Basically describes Donald's life.

[@alexd8532]

Wait... isn't that the old donald duck song???

[@Purpylon]

"Who's never wrong but always right?" YEAH? "Who'd never dream of starting a fight?" THAT SO? "Who gets stuck with all the bad luck? No one but Donald Duck" YEAH!

[@pumpkojacket]

this was a good episode. Liked how they reinvented Gladstone Gander, he has more character in this than in the comics than just... very lucky

[@Serryy]

I mean Gladstone's character depends on which comic you read. Sometimes he's sympathetic but oblivious to fact that others regularly face hardships. Sometimes he's arrogant. Sometimes he envies others for their bad luck since he's bored of all the luck he encounters every day.

[@danielwilson8604]

he's also been shown to be so lazy that he won't even reach up to grab a balloon hovering right in front of his face to win a contest, saying if it was the winning baloon it'd come down to him. scrooge flat out refuses to let him be his successor over this.

[@Purpylon]

In the comics both Gladstone and Daisy are awful. Gladstone just buys Diasy's affection, and Daisy uses both men for her own gains.

[@Serryy]

@@Purpylon Again, it depends. There are so many comics that dont really follow continuity.

[@lucasmorais7646]

​@@SerryyGladstone is rarely not arrogant though. How rotten and selfish he is depends on the comic but he is consistently someone who loves to flaunt his good fortune and infuriate Donald. Sometimes he is indeed more playful and less smug about it but he knows he doesn't deserve it. I think Ducktales 2017 managed to strike a good balance.

[@f1nger605]

Scrooge is actually Donald's uncle, not his gruncle. Scrooge's sister, Hortence McDuck, is Donald and Della's mother. Considering Scrooge is modeled after gilded age industrialists like Andrew Carnegie, this made more sense in the 40s, but this show has to play fast and loose with the timeline. Gladstone Gander is actually only related to Scrooge through marriage. He is the son of Daphne Duck, who is the sister of Quackmore Duck, Donald and Della's father and Scrooge's brother-in-law. So he's Donald's first cousin on his father's side.

[@heishinayo2024]

my head hurts of reading that oh my god

[@Tebsi_a]

Is so funny to me that people have trouble understanding this because my family is big AF, my mom literally has over 90 cousins (we tried to count them) and I understand it perfectly.

[@eshix4089]

See, there's a reason that when Rick Riordan modernized the Lotus Eaters myth in Percy Jackson (aka they ate lotus flowers that turned them into apathetic addicts who couldn't think about anything except eat more lotus), he made into a casino. Also, Gladstone's predicament is sort of similar to the Twilight Zone episode, "A Nice Place to Visit"

[@phoenix_Talaria]

Holy moly that's a genius 2 for 1 move!

[@rexosuitmk2577]

I think what you were going for was “backhanded compliment.”

[@NK-lx8mf]

Maybe complisult from Community

[@boardtoonsguy]

The way this ep portrayed gambling is actually genious. There r so many educational social campaigns abt how bad it, how it ruins people's lives. Yet those campaigns usually fail to take into account a very interesting thing abt us a species: our irrational belief that we can somehow go around the statistics, that we can be unaffected by it. This ep solves this problem by basically showing us as viewers that winning at casinos and basing our life solely on luck would suck even if we did manage to "trick" the statistics. It would take away our ability to manage our own life, would trap us in our luck. In other words, this ep teaches us that there is no such thing as a happy gambler.

[@njivwathomassilavwe2056]

Donald will do everything in his power to help his family

[@lassesgamekanaal]

Yeah, maybe just not gander xp

[@andrewmendonca6876]

Donald: (thrown out of casino) Toad Liu Hai: "His luck is awful, so awful." LOL!!! Scrooge is so smart. He knew that Donald's bad luck was the only thing that could get rid of the casino.

[@DanielOrme]

I love how Gladstone calls Donald "D Money" and "D Squared." Paul F. Tompkins gives just the right tone of obnoxious family affection.

[@-nav-398]

When he gets to play a prominent role Donald is usually my favorite character just because I've never seen this kind of interpretation of him before.

[@Buffy8Fan]

I've seen people understand the basics, but never seen anyone "Nail it!" (sorry, couldn't help the Dewey reference) the way Elijah did. Elijah's dog going nuts when Elijah became proud of herself at being right at said reveal was such perfect cake icing.

[@angdustfan67]

In Donald’s theme it mentions he is the one who is stuck with all the bad luck

[@Kyle-fv7xe]

Casinos also don’t have windows or clocks so you dont realize how long you’ve really been there

[@cesarbarajas7858]

Fun fact Lena is voiced by kimiko Glenn the same person that voiced nifty in hazbin hotel So an emo dunk is also the voice of a crazy cyclops maid

[@IronDino]

And Horse from Unicorn World.

[@DragonGoddess18]

​@@IronDino Did you mean "CentaurWorld"

[@user-rb4cj7mb8f]

I feel like a big role to point for her is she was Peni Parker in spiderverse

[@bullmonty764]

She’s done a lot more than that though. I’ve been a lowkey fan of her for quite some time and I don’t really have much opinion on Hazbin - the most I can muster is that I like Charlie’s design - so it feels bizarre to see Kimiko slowly get defined by her role there after years of her being a voice acting staple

[@jeffbrehove2614]

Also, Bridgette from Close Enough

[@Totorolover456]

I always loved the end of this episode😂 "Why would you do that?!" "3, 2, 1...." "BANG! ÆAAAHƏÈHHHH!"

[@TheRhuen]

a fun thing on floor plans designed to keep people inside as long as possible, playing on the subconscious, the calmer colors are deeper in and the carpet may have a pattern on it that simulates a slope, the "downhill" slope illusion going towards the center of the casino (or towards the more expensive areas but not THE most expensive...the most expensive is for high rollers and does the opposite trick of making it feel more exclusive so the high rollers feel more special and spend more time there as "honored guests").

[@thateye49]

I read 'House of the lucky gender' _xD_

[@StealthMarmot_]

The 2 genders: Lucky and Unlucky.

[@LrdHollow]

Gladstone Glander, the duck who can live on just pure luck

[@andrewmendonca6876]

Elijah calling Scrooge "McScrooge" is so funny!!!! XDXD

[@ArmiGirl90]

Launchpad has A LOT of girlfriends and you’ll be seeing something like this again. Also, funny how you mentioned complimentive insults cuz that’s gonna be a thing Webby unintentionally learns

[@maurtendo]

The big spoiler for this season is... Hey. Twenty dollars. Now what was I talking about?

[@andrewmendonca6876]

Gladstone: "Did I not mention I'm a prisoner here, and that's why I called you for help?" Elijah: "Exhibit A!!!" (dog barks in the background) LOL!!! Why was Elijah's dog barking? XDXD

[@ΕυάγγελοςΦώσκολος]

Gladstone Gander is a character from the comics. He also made a few appearances in the 87 series. Out of the two shows, the 2017 version is the most accurate. A spoiled rich guy who earned everything because of luck and you don't feel much sympathy for him, compare to poor unlucky Donald. In a way, the Launchpad plot will be revisited later.

[@matthewkreps3352]

Launchpad lands perfectly on water.

[@Holospade]

I loved this show when I was younger, I’m so happy that one of my fav KZbinrs gets to watch it for the first time on camera ❤😊

[@DragonGoddess18]

Plot twist: Ziggy,Launchpad's girlfriend, was kidnapped by the Yakuza (Japanese mafia)

[@Maswartz226]

I love how you pretty much guessed the twist exactly.

[@tadashibighero-ep7ev]

Oh my god I was just rewatching Moscos reaction to the owl house this scared me!

[@tadashibighero-ep7ev]

The music I mean

[@YoelSchwarz]

Scrooge hates Gladstone because hes a lazy freeloader. Hard work is one of Scrooges most prized things.

[@plaidhatter1674]

It is just as effective as talent and luck, sometimes better.

[@andrewmendonca6876]

Aquarioon Announcer: "Attention, the 3:15 show of Aquarioon: The Secret Waters of Aquarioon, has been canceled." Huey: "No!!!" LOL!!! That had no business being that funny!!!!!!!!

[@dinam3236]

Lena will return. For now though.... there's a LOT of Duck family members. there's a big family tree out there, online. Though for now, you really only need to know that Scrooge is Donald's maternal uncle, Donald is Huey, Dewey and Louie's maternal uncle, and Gladstone is Donald's paternal cousin. (Donald also has another cousin named Fethry, but it'll be a while before we meet him.)

[@manuelinstructions5396]

Fun fact: the city this episode is based on is macau, one reason why I like this episode

[@thegamesresearcher]

What you need to know: Scrooge's has TWO sisters; Matilda and Hortence, Hortence is Donald and Della's mother. On the other hand, Hortence's husband "Quackmore" had a sister (Gladstone's mother) and a brother (who has a son you might* see him later ;D)...

[@andrewmendonca6876]

Donald has so much bad luck, but he still pushes through.

[@andrewmendonca6876]

"He's the worst. Just the worst." LOL!!! Donald is so funny when he's grumpy!!!!

[@andrewmendonca6876]

Huey: "And like Uncle Donald says, family always helps family." Donald: "Why did I say that." LOL!!! I really love Donald and his family. I wonder how big his family is.

[@andrewmendonca6876]

Golden Cricket: (chirping) Scrooge: "Okay, we can go now." LOL!!! That made me laugh so hard!!!!

[@peytona4412]

I just clicked on this video and was immediately caught off guard on how I have that same shirt she's wearing 😂❤😂

[@dhararry7929]

7:10 That's just the tip of the iceberg. If you'd like to see the full extent of businesses manipulating your subconscious, I'd recommend watching The Century of the Self by Adam Curtis.

[@YoelSchwarz]

Without spoilers: According to the creators, Launchpad can get it.

[@waggledock]

As someone who grew up loving the original 1987 series (and loved the newer 2017 series you’re reacting to as well (heck! I love the new one more), and immediately recognized some of the names and references as a result of it, I LOVE watching you watch and enjoy it going in “totally blind”! It’s a refreshing and fun perspective and I look forward to more! 🦆💰🎩

[@Rixec2]

This series really does a great job with everything, and its deconstructions and reconstructions of certain elements are very meaningful. For example, this episode deconstructs Donald's bad luck. Yes, we get a good laugh out of his antics, but we also see how that affects his self-esteem. And then it reconstructs it into showing in spite of his bad luck, his determination and love for his family keeps him going long past when most people would give up.

[@Camilla550]

The casino thing is very true, they also don’t have any windows or clocks so you can’t tell how long you’ve been in there. Not sure if they still do this or if they’re allowed to anymore but when my uncle when to Las Vegas years ago some casinos even pumped oxygen into the rooms too! This kept people energised so they’d keep spending money and was also another way to stop them from realising how long they’d been in there because they wouldn’t get tired. My uncle and his friends literally stayed in the same casino for a WHOLE DAY on their trip because of this!

[@andrewmendonca6876]

The chocolate fountain looks so amazing!!! I would have the same reaction as Webby.

[@andrewmendonca6876]

Huey being dazzled by the Aquarioon is so funny!!! Although, I would have been dazzled too.

[@jameschan4462]

You were asking about the rest of the Duck family, well a little information about the triplets' mom Della Duck, is that she was Donald's twin sister and is also an adventurer/pilot.

[@johnwelsh7524]

Before it ends... Have any reactions been made to Craig of the creek?

[@andrewmendonca6876]

"You've never had the common sense to give up before, why start now?" LOL!!! That was the weirdest compliment I've ever heard in my life!!!! XDXD

[@brandonthetoyandgamecollector]

I’ll need a room with a personal sauna, poolside view, and a distraction

[@horrordisneygal1172]

My favorite scene in this episode Donald duck constantly thinking some guy has 27 fingers behind his back when he obviously doesn't 😂 Also this here Gladstone" Ooh 20 dollars" Toad - Now how did that get there 😂😂

[@jordanhansen5934]

The term you’re looking for is “back-handed compliment.”

[@andrewmendonca6876]

I feel so bad for Gladstone. He's been lucky throughout his life, and he wants Donald to break his streak so he can be free from his prison.

[@jackofminds8338]

Lewie is probably my favorite of the triplets, since his character development is often very subtle. Yeah he's a lazy schemer, but the show is really good at reminding you he's just a kid, and has feelings.

[@kinganthony5885]

8:13 huey: noooooooooooo!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@pbnjams]

Can NOT wait for both Elijah and Mosco to witness the ultimate payoff of Launchpad’s love life

[@not-sid8342]

Thats actually completely accurate. Casinos are designed to lead you in but not out. Also, bring a watch because you will never see a clock anywhere near the casino.

[@andrewmendonca6876]

Gladstone: (imitating Scrooge) "Hagis and Topaz, Bless me bagpipes." (armpit noises) LOL!!! That was so funny!!!! XDXD

[@TheRhuen]

Old fogey time; Gladstone was in the old duck comics, not as much in the old Duck Tales cartoon that I can recall, but his luck gag, especially the finding a twenty dollar bill, was especially big back then, back when a chocolate bar cost a nickel *and I mean a big chocolate bar* and a dollar got you into the movies. Penny candy stores were a thing, so yeah a child frequently finding twenty dollar bills was a huge stroke of luck in those old comics.

[@helper_games]

11:46 i like to call him a luccubus, because its catchy

[@Maddam94]

The craziest thing is that if you ever noticed at most casinos or at least the casino I worked at.... There are NO clocks or any time telling devices, because they want you to stay there for as long as possible to spend money.

[@PanayiotisManias]

13:45- I believe the term you were looking for is "backhanded compliment"

[@jaythejollyclown]

take a shot every time Elijah says "McScrooge" instead of McDuck

[@47ratsinahoodie]

7:08 Oh 100% it's why casinos often don't have windows or clocks (or if they do have clocks they're in less convenient spots) and why everything is so well lit and bustling, they're actively trying to make it harder to tell how much time has passed.

[@kylgrv]

This episode makes me feel really bad for Donald Duck and all the bad luck that he goes through. I can definitely see why he's not so fond of getting together with Gladstone, especially with how lucky the latter is in nearly everything.

[@MAlanThomasII]

With the number of times you and Mosco reference each other in recent reactions (esp. DuckTales and TDP), I'd love to see some sort of cut of each of you reacting to the other's reactions when that happens.

[@alexkoder1982]

I steal argue that Gladstone is a luck vampire. He's only that lucky because he drains the luck from those around him.

[@BakerBecs29]

Another fun reaction ^-^ Awesome as always Elijah and I could help but squee in excitement when I noticed the stitch shirt! I have the same one 😬😊

[@Scb12319]

Let me just say, they have a massive family counting friends

[@Drako2k0]

It’s actually interesting how good luck can be spinned. Gladstone lost the race because, since he was a prisoner to a luck vampire, the luckiest outcome for him Would be for Donald to win the race so that he could be free. 😂 so losing was winning.

[@benaran]

Donald Duck is the Storm

[@Giran_0]

Could you imagine if Lena met Gladstone 👀 🍀🌟⚫

[@TravFam-m6m]

She did in the s3 episode where Lena had to go train under Oh hey 20 dollars

[@bullmonty764]

I hope Elijah reacts to “The Sandman” soon, I really want to see how she reacts to Mason Alexander Park’s performance as Desire of the Endless

[@noremac7216]

So self-described Duck family genealogy expert gear. But Gladstones mother was the sister of Quackmore Duck, Donald's father. He's not actually biologically related to Scrooge at all since Scrooge's sister Hortense married Quackmore and had Donald and Della.
