Count Duckula (character): Difference between revisions

Line 25:

He has a very modern outlook, and despairs over the traditional vampire image he is expected to embody. In the episode '[[Family Reunion]]', he is willing to go as far as contacting [[Dr Von Goosewing]] to help him destroy his own family. He hates living in a [[Castle Duckula|dark, gloomy castle]], and finds the behaviour of his servants to be depressing. Duckula frequently expresses frustration with Igor's lecturing and attempts to change him into a proper vampire, as well as [[Nanny]]'s simple-minded and clumsy nature. Still, he keeps them around, suggesting that he really does need them. Quite a few times he admits to missing Nanny while she's gone, and he always takes his employees back at the end of the day.

Despite ~~everything~~, Duckula is very immature, egotistical and selfish, taking his lifestyle and employees for granted. He can be quite childish and rash, acting almost spoiled, despite his lack of riches. That also drives his avarice, a frequently occuring trait that has him and his staff scrambling for money. He does try to act refined and mature, which shows in his speech and fake attempts at modesty.

*In some episodes, Duckula is seen wearing pyjamas with a Danger Mouse logo, a reference to another British animated television series produced by [https://danmacgregor.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Cosgrove Hall Films] for Thames Television in 1981.

*Duckula speaks with an American accent, despite being voiced by a British actor.

*Duckula sometimes uses alliterative expressions - "Action, adventure, activity, and all this is pretty boring!" "Smart, snappy, snazzy, and say, what's down there?" "This is the end, this is disastrous -- doom, debacle and drat it all why me, why?"~~<br />~~"Dark, dismal, dreary, and darn it, I just want to get away from it all!"

*When excited or surprised, he usually stumbles and trips over his words, repeats things, and pauses, before getting what he's trying to say out.

*According to Igor, he presses flowers with the bone crusher in the torture chamber.
