Fun fact: When the DuckTales cast did a live script reading of this episode, Ben Schwartz, who voices Dewey, was given an actual keytar that was programmed with all the same sound effects as the one in the show

Glomgold: How did you know it was me? Louie: It’s always you. Glomgold: And it always will be! HA HA HA HA HA!

"The Duke of Making a Mess", Huey's alter ego from the internship episode.

Duckworth was a character in the original series! An alive one I mean. In the reboot, Ms. Beakly gained more importance, so having him would be redundant. But it was a really nice surprise for the fans to have him back around as a ghost now and then.

I love that Donald just dips. My man knew what was coming and he has no time for that noise.

"Make like anyone's interest in you and disappear!" I'm so stealing that line! XD

Duckworth was just a regular living butler in earlier versions, and before this episode the old time fans were a bit upset that he'd apparently been cut out. Little did they know that not only would he be showing up like this, but he'd been in the opening credits in monster form the whole time!

14:36 "The Duke of Making a Mess" is something Huey is called on occasions when he's freaking out.

"The duke is back" refers to that one scene in the internship episode where Huey stands on that table and shouts "Now I'm the duke of making a mess" while letting his insane side out. It's so awesome having seen this show twice already (and read the art book) and STILL noticing new stuff to pick up on. Also can I just saw that I love these reactions! DuckTales 2017 is one of my favourite shows of all time and this is a perfect excuse to get to experience it all again! I always cannot wait for new reactions to release, been looking forward to this all day!

On the security system, "DT 87" is a reference to the year that the original DuckTales series first aired.

The ghost Butler does stick around for the rest of the series not a lot but he does help out when he is needed

the reveal that magica was launch pads ex girlfriend was such a big hype moment.

Huey is The Duke. Specifically, The Duke is the crazy side of Huey. The Duke made his first appearance in the Mark Beaks episode, where Huey refers to himself as ‘The Duke of Making a Mess.’

The Duke will return in Avengers: Endgame.

14:38 Back in the "Infernal Internship of Mark Beaks!" episode, recall that when Huey flipped out that he had to report to Dewey, he called himself "The Duke of Making a Mess".

"How didja know it was me?!" "It's always you." "And it always will be!" Glomgold is so full of baloney. If Huey is the Duke of Making a Mess, you could say Glomgold is the Duke of Baloney. Fans of the original DuckTales were wondering where Duckworth was, little did we know he'd been in the opening theme all along. He was quite prominent in the original show as Scrooge's unflappable no-nonsense (and alive) butler and chauffeur and foil to the more excitable and high-strung Ms. Beakley.

There was actually a live table read of this episode with the core cast plus Sam Riegel (Scanlan from Vox Machina, who was the voice director for Ducktales) that took place in Disneyland back in 2018. It's pretty fun and chaotic, and it's hilarious to hear the core cast cover the antagonist roles they don't normally get to do: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9l1daWhsdOolGQ.html

Hey everyone! Remember to keep the comments free of any spoilers of future episodes for Mosco. Have fun & be creative with fake spoilers! Also, make sure we’re keeping the comments cool & comfortable for everyone here. Enjoy the reaction y’all!!!

Gotta respect how Mark Beaks was just after some cheap lols.

That beagle in the painting is actually Mrs beagles long lost twin who’s souls is trapped in scrooges number one dime after she was in a magical coma and she is trying to get him back

So, Scrooge McDuck was canonically born in 1877, and going by the technology in this show, it's meant to take place sometime around its airing year of 2017. This means he was 140 years old at the time of this episode! A longer than average life due to the various magic/cursed items he's found in his travels.

Duck tales doesn’t know what “one off character” means for the most part

One thing I will tell you just so you don't get frustrated is that we TOTALLY learn everything about Launchpad and his secret escapades.

The voice actor of the original Duckworth died, so a ghost version became a tribute to him.

Duckworth was Scrooge's butler in the original series. When this reboot first aired I wondered about the character's absence, and I was sad when they said that the character had died. I should have known they were leading up to something awesome! Also, Duckworth's demon form appears briefly during the show's opening during the "might solve a mystery or rewrite history" line.

I can’t wait for the episode where Mosco learns that Launchpad has and WOULD kiss a clone of himself

Duckworth isn't always around, but he does show up here and again. My favorite is when he leads Hughie and Webbie through the afterlife to reclaim Scrooge's soul.

Hey Masco just wanted to say thank you so much for being with me at the con and letting me talk to you

I think when Dewey said the duke is back, I think it's a call back to when huey called himself the duke of making a mess

P sure the "Duke" in "The Duke is back" is just Dewey referencing back to him and Huey's internship with Mark Beaks. When Dewey got a higher position and Huey just broke. Referring to himself as "The Chief Manager of Being Broken" and "The Duke of Making a Mess." 😂

Fun Fact: Duckworth was original voice by Chuck McCann in the older DuckTales and even continued to play the role when the DuckTales video game was remastered in 2013. One of his biggest roles was the G.I.Joe Leatherneck in the older G.I.Joe cartoons but he was also in a slew of other Disney shows that aired at the same time as the 87 DuckTales and was also the voice of the Dreamfinder in the original 1983 Journey Into Imagination ride in Epcot. In this show, Duckworth is voiced by David Kaye who's mostly known for being Megatron in Transformers projects from 1996 to 2006. J.A.R.V.I.S. and Mysterio in animated Marvel-related projects after Disney bought Marvel, and Clank in the Ratchet and Clank games.

I'm surprised you didn't solve who did it from the start 'The butler did it' is almost always the answer with these sort of things (if not the butler the maid)

Grandpa Beagle stole the deed to Duckberg from Magica. She's trying to get into the mansion to get it back.

So about Duckworth he was a character in the original and people had wondered where he was and the head writer had said you’ve seen him since the first episode He’s in the intro as the demon.

17:12 This is probably the closest we'll ever get to Scooby being unmasked as the ghost.

I loooove love how very proud of yourself you were when you realised you got the thing with the deed right 😊😂❤

Mosco: *theorycrafting for literal minutes* Me: Chick, WAIT three seconds before you go declaring yourself the next Sherlock.

mosco: "i'm an idiot" also mosco:

I love seeing people dissect little details in shows like how you dissected that painting.

this was a long awaited return of one 80s charter who had yet to come back. and he was in the intro the whole time. The show runners even eased us by saying we had already seen him before his episode. Duckworth will return in "Ghost Finger"

14:35 The “Duke” is referencing the episode where Huey and Dewey compete for an internship at Mark Beak’s business. Specifically the scene where Huey jumps on the counter and says “Well I’m the Duke of Making a Mess” (or something like that). As someone who over analyzed that side of him (because that’s just what I do with my favorite characters), it’s deeply upsetting that I missed this tiny detail. But, at the same time, I’m glad you found it.

The butler is also a character from the old show/ comics. Although he wasnt dead.

Duckworth here is voiced by David Kaye, who people might recognize as Megatron in Beast Wars, Transformers Armada, Energon, and Cybertron.

VA roundup The only newcomer this week is David Kaye as Duckworth, best known as the second-most well-known Megatron after Frank Welker. Black Arts Beagle is voiced by Eric Bauza, who voices all the other Beagle Boys.

The Duke is Huey's dark side

I can't wait until we meet Launchpad's alien wife - oh, wait that was an old Darkwing Duck episode.

Duckworth is great. The episode when he catches the ghostly flu and ends up accidentally possessing the triplets, Donald, and Webby is one of my favourites.

14:44 the other episode with the internship, Huey refers to himself as “the duke of making a mess” i never noticed they referenced that again in this episode oooh

In the reboot, there is a suspition regarding how Duckworth died, but it only be revealed in the reboot's final episode in season 3.

Why on earth would you not expect... That the butler did it?

The Duke is a reference to a character we'll meet in season three, a bird version of David Bowie, a/k/a the Thin White Duke.

I don't have much to say except that Duckworth was indeed in the original series, and yes, he was alive there

You may notice it in the intro but Duckworth has been there since the beginning.

Keep an eye on Duckworth - he's the sleeper villain of season 2, when his resentment at Beakley and Scrooge finally boils over, and he helps Scrooge's old flame Goldy steal the McDuck fortune

Old Fogey time: in the old show and comics Duckworth was the very much alive butler, he would make little snide remarks and was very much based on the same trope as Alfred from Batman. Mrs Beakley was a nanny that Scrooge hired in like episode 1 or 2 of the original show to keep an eye on the boys, and Webby was her granddaughter who came along as a package deal...both of them often treated as baggage for the plot. Mrs Beakly did very little in the original show to the point that I have a hard time remembering too many episodes outside the first arc where she tagged along where she did much other than shout, "Oh nnooo!" and run away. So when this show started we kind of figured they had fused Beakly and Duckworth into one character and added the spy stuff to help toughen her up. It was a surprise and a treat to see Duckworth come back as a demonic ghost entity.

watching she-ra and the owl house prepared Mosco for clue hunting well lmao

Who in their right mind would invite all their enemies to a party, even with limited time?

17:32 Nik Nokturne/Dark Art Beagle gave Scrooge the best present by bringing back Duckworth. Now he needs to bring the boys' mother.

Fun Fact: after the pilot aired, people asked where Duckworth was. The crew said he'd already been shown, and he was! In the opening!

My favorite part of these videos are the predictions and the shockingly high hit rate. She is either so very right or so very wrong. And it's fun either way.

There has been a burrito 🌯 and a popcorn 🍿 episode, how is this not a cake 🎂 episode?

My favorite Duckworth episode is the full episode Dante's inferno parody of the 'circles of Hell' of Mcduck manor that's just the shenanigans the cast get into

It was such a delight to see you at Momocon! :) Hope you continue to attend!

I live in the Atlanta area and not only do we have Momocon, in September we have Dragoncon and AWA(anime weekend Atlanta) an anime convention .

Actually, Duckworth was not brought back by the Beagle Boy but by Magicka, who is secretly controlling him, trying to ruin the decor of the house and make it look unseemly to break Scrooge's spirit.

2:55 It's the Thanksgiving Hunger Games, Webby is Katniss Everduck. Launchpad is Peta and eats all of peta bread.

14:36 the boys' father is a duke.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST NOTICED THE JOKE OF HOW THEY RAN INTO THE GLASS BECAUSE BIRDS CAN'T SEE GLASS!! OMG 😭

Ooooh next week is the one where they go to St. Andrews!

"Duke" is actually a reference to the popular lunch meat bologna It makes perfect sense if you think about it

In the Mark Beaks episode Huey goes a little crazy and calls himself the Duke of Making a Mess. It's sort of a running gag that sometimes gets mentioned when he gets like that.

I really like the upcoming episode where Ma Beagle and Ms. Beakley (who is secretly the boys' long lost aunt) have a Mother-Off contest. Webby is #1 cheerleader 😊

I can’t believe I only JUST noticed these things after you pointed them out to us😅 wish i would’ve noticed them before 😅

the duke is hueys reoccouring alter ego who is violent and distructive compared to the calm nerd he normally is. a few episodes ago he called himself the duke of making a mess while distroying marks office. but dont worry its totally just an easter egg and definitely not a deep seated emotional issue for huey to work though in a later episode.

14:36 This may surprise you but it’s referring to huey. Remember what he called himself last episode?

I can't wait for Mos to meet Dewey's Dewpleganger. Or for the moment when Webby makes putting on a bow seem so ominous.

Its a mystery, of course the butler did it.

Since you like this series so much I definitely recommend Rise Of The TMNT. It shares two of the voice actors (Ben Schwartz and Josh Brener) and has the same general vibe. You'd have to get a proper chronological list of the episodes because Amazon as well as whatever the heck Google is doing when you look it up are both wrong. The wiki seems to have the correct order. Also, don't worry if this would be your first dive into TMNT in general, it was mine as well and I still greatly enjoyed it. I NEED more people to watch this masterpiece of a show so I am screaming about it into the void whenever I can lol.

Duckworth is Technically Webby's grandfather. It was. ... a very messy divorce.

This is one of my favorite episodes.

7:00 Fun fact: according to the show's producers, "McNugget" is considered an in-universe slur against people/birds of Scottish descent. Scrooge may or may not have killed a man for using it.

I know if I ever write something that surprises you, then it will blow away everyone else!

633 I caught myself nodding at you through my ipad like you could actually see 😂

Cute mug! :D

4:17 DJ Daft Duck is a reference to Daft Punk and Dewey's dad, Daffy.

The Duke of Making a Mess is Huey alter ego from eposode 7, it's important for season 3 ☝️

jesus, "the duke is back" like.....thats such a weird thing to forshadow so far in advance,

Duckworth is later revealed to be mrs. Beakley's ex

Beware the Duke, he makes the biggest messes, bewaaaaarrrrreee!

We'll see Duckworth again when he defends the house from Magica

Butler is forever

So this is basically a Scooby-Doo episode where the butler did it and the ghost is real🤯 and they got rid of Velma/Webby to do it.

Does your mug say "Teas of the Kingdom?" 😂😂😂 Where did you find that?

It’s going to be a running joke with the launch pad thing

10:45 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

They do a Scooby Doo mystery and didn't invite Velma? Jinkies!

2:46 Minnie Mouse killed Duckworth on Scrooge's birthday.

The Butler did it!

Whats wrong with summoning demons, some of them find ways to sneak into peoples hearts. 😅

i would love to see you react to rise of the teenage mutin ninja turtles. I think you would really like it, it's also a comedy with themes of the importance of family- it has a different plot to ducktails but they give off similar vibes.
