In Other Media

• Duck Dodgers made a parody episode of Samurai Jack, with the title Samurai Quack. This typically follows Duck Dodgers, after eating ingesting improperly prepared sushi, sends himself into a fever dream where he's a samurai master, battling a sorcerer who resembles his clock.
  • Similarly, Mako provided the voice for Aku's Duck Dodgers counterpart, while Genndy Tartakovsky himself voiced a pirate who told Daffy (as Samurai Dodgers) defeat the sorcerer.
  • Furthermore, this episode shares with this TV show itself implying that Jack never defeated Aku, which could be seen a common running gag on this series during Cartoon Network's run.
