Detailed Plot[]
Continuity[]
The 2003 Duck Dodgers animated series is both episodic and metafictional. It's written not as events in Warner Bros. Looney Tunes setting but as a TV show in which Daffy Duck portrays the protagonist. Due to this while it's in reality the second segment of the twenty-first episode of the series it's the eleventh episode (7.04) of the series to have aired in the fictional world of Looney Tunes, as reflected on the episode's title card.
In the real world it is followed by the episode "M.M.O.R.P.D." and proceeded by the episode "Deathmatch Duck". In the fictional world of Looney Tunes the episode that follows is "Duck Codgers" (8.04) and the one to have proceeded it is the episode "Talent Show a Go-Go" (6.7).
Since the events of "Quarterback Quack" are mentioned by the Queen in this episode than those clips of it would have in the world of Looney Tunes been the audience's first awareness of those events. Meaning that the Quarterback Quack episode would have been produced based on the events referenced in this episode and still have taken place sometime prior. The same would apply to the episode "I'm Gonna Get You Fat Sucka!" as in this episode I.Q. mentions the time he had made Dodgers an Ambassador only for him to go mad and end up confronting a Vampire on some haunted space station.
