Total Drama Island[]

NOT SO HAPPY CAMPERS PART 1

When Harold first meets Duncan, all he does is smile in his direction and Duncan makes a fist at him, scaring him. Duncan and Harold are put on the same team together, this team being The Killer Bass. When Duncan axed a cockroaches head off, Harold is impressed with his toughness and skill.

THE BIG SLEEP

Duncan pulls a prank on Harold while he's sleeping by putting his hand in a cup of warm water and making him wet his pants. When Harold wakes up, he is very embarrassed and Duncan points and laughs at him. However, Harold ends up actually liking it.

DODGEBRAWL

Duncan pulls another prank on Harold while he's sleeping, which Harold finds out about when he wakes up that morning and goes into the mess hall with a drawn-on mustache. During the dodgeball challenge, Duncan fell asleep on the bleachers and Courtney made Harold wake Duncan up by poking him up the nose with a stick. Duncan was about to pound Harold's face in before Courtney explained that they need him to win the dodgeball game. Duncan entered the game but did a horrible job at it so Harold had to step in for him and win the game for the Killer Bass instead. Duncan ended up being admittedly impressed with Harold and complimented him on his skills in winning it for the team.

IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT ...

Duncan and the other guys are sick of Harold leaving his dirty underwear on the floor of their cabin. Duncan has asked Harold repeatedly to stop but every time he does, Harold just denies that it's his underwear, even though it has his name on the tag. Geoff and DJ, who are equally repulsed by Harold's negligence, decide to assist Duncan in teaching Harold a lesson. Throughout the episode, they pull a series of pranks on him that involve Harold's underwear. Duncan "accidentally" spills water on Harold's underwear, forcing him to leave the mess hall and get a change of clothes. The guys also pour a bit of hot sauce into another pair of Harold's underwear so that when he puts them on, it burns his anus. Lastly, the guys sneak Harold's previously stolen underwear into sandwich and trick him into eating it. Finally, Harold comes back, wearing a little red speedo, which is the only underwear he has left. Out of desperation, Harold begs Duncan to stop with the pranks. Duncan says that he can end all of this if he just stops leaving his poo poo undies around the cabin but again, Harold denies having anything to do with it. At the end of the episode, Duncan and the guys push Harold's bed out to the dock that night, while he's sleeping in it. Harold also has to sleep naked because while he was showering, Duncan stole his speedo, as well as all his other clothes. Harold wakes up in his bed that morning, butt-naked and all of the girls on the island are in the water, wishing him a good morning. Harold freaks out and runs away, covering his genitals with a pillow. Needless to say, he stopped leaving his underwear on the floor and we all have Duncan to thank for that.

BASIC STRAINING

Despite Harold promising to stop leaving his underwear on the floor and keeping that promise, Duncan and the guys continue to pull underwear-related pranks on Harold. They put some of his stolen underwear into a s'more and trick Harold into eating it just for fun. Later, Duncan uses a fishing pole to give Harold a wedgie. That night, Duncan sneaks out with Courtney to break into the mess hall and steal some of Chef's peanut butter, which they smear all over Harold's clean underwear and also his bed. Duncan throws all of Harold's underwear all over the cabin and when the other guys, Geoff and DJ see this, they think that Harold went back on his promise to stop leaving his underwear on the floor and they beat him up. Harold finds out that Duncan was behind this, when he spies on him with Courtney. Courtney admitted to Duncan that she had fun pranking Harold like this and that he gave her a new lease on life, introducing her to the joys of breaking the rules and being bad. Courtney kissed Duncan, solidifying their relationship and Duncan gets really happy, not knowing that Harold is secretly watching them, menacingly. In the confessional, Harold breaks open the ballot box and tampers with the votes, that were mostly in favor of him getting eliminated and then rigs the votes so that they're all for Courtney instead. Harold decides to see how Duncan likes it when the nerd he's been picking on all this time messes with his love life and gets his brand new girlfriend booted from the island. That night, just like Harold planned, Courtney is eliminated and Duncan is rightfully pissed off, especially since he was sure at least 5 people on his team didn't vote her off. At the end of the episode, Harold stands by the campfire, roasting Duncan's underwear over the fire, maniacally.

X-STREME TORTURE

Duncan assumes that Harold had something to do with Courtney getting eliminated and he was right. He tells the other guys about this and they have Harold eliminated from the show. This just goes to show that Duncan was so mad at Harold for what he did that his revenge extended far beyond his usual silly pranks and he just had him kicked off the island. Although Duncan was glad to see Harold go, he was admittedly pretty proud of Harold for seeing Heather's boobies, even if it was on accident and he was almost as happy to see Harold and Leshawna become boyfriend and girlfriend. Duncan admitted that even though he hated Harold for being a geeky dork and eliminating Courtney, he had to give him credit where credit was due and confess that he had some game when it came to the ladies.

HAUTE CAMP-TURE

Harold complains about how much he hates Duncan for all the bad stuff he did to him on the island, including all of the horrible pranks. He admits that getting Courtney eliminated was pretty heinous but thinks that it was totally justified as it was revenge on Duncan for all the bad stuff he did.

TOTAL DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA ISLAND

Harold asks Duncan and Courtney if he can join their team and he is sorely rejected. Duncan punches him in the gut at the two leave. Duncan later insults Harold in the confessional, proving that he is not over the way he got Courtney eliminated.

Total Drama Action[]

MONSTER CASH

When a dinosaur was on the loose, everybody started running for their lives. Duncan grabbed Harold and threw him out of the way, telling him to "Move it or lose it."

ALIEN RESUR-EGGTION

Gwen chose Duncan and Harold for her team, putting them both on The Screaming Gaffers.

BEACH BLANKET BOGUS

Duncan laughed at Harold when he fell off the surfboard and landed on his nuts. However, Duncan also finds himself admittedly impressed with Harold once again, when he sees Harold build an incredibly well-constructed sand castle.

3:10 TO CRAZYTOWN

Duncan tripped Harold and made him land face-flat into a trough of water. He also tied him up in ropes to celebrate The Screaming Gaffers winning the challenge. After the challenge, Chris had everybody line up and bathe in a water barrel just like the cowboys used to back in the day. Harold was taking way too long to take a bath in the water barrel so Duncan shook the barrel and tipped it over, making all the water splash out all over his naked butt as he slid out in public. Leshawna got mad at Duncan for constantly bullying her boyfriend but Duncan said that he needed to do this because he still needed to get revenge on him for voting off Courtney back on Total Drama Island.

ONE FLU OVER THE CUCKOO'S

Leshawna attempted to form a three-person alliance with Harold and Duncan so that they could get Heather eliminated but both of them refused to work together. Duncan pulled down Harold's pants, trampled him, and stuck a rectal thermometer into his mouth while he was unconscious. Duncan also found out that Harold's middle name was "Doris" and unsurprisingly, bullied him relentlessly for it. Harold was infuriated with this.

Fanon[]

Some people ship Duncan and Harold as boyfriends because they think that the two would make an excellent couple. They could even go as far as to become a brains/brawn-type power couple, if they learned how to put their differences aside and work together as a team. There have been some instances in the show, where the two boys did just that and ended up working really well together, albeit as friends and not as a couple. Sadly, they generally seem to revert back to being the typical bully and nerd rivalry at the end of every episode. Some fans have noted the sexual undertone of a lot of Duncan's pranks, such as the constant underwear-related pranks, the time he stuck a rectal thermometer into Harold's mouth, that a lot of Duncan's pranks on Harold are either underwear-related or take place while Harold is asleep, which some noticed the sexual undertone of. Detractors of this ship argue that if Duncan and Harold got together, it would lead to an abusive relationship, considering just how horribly Duncan has treated Harold in the past. In defense of Duncold, shippers have stated that if the two fell in love with each other and started dating, this would end Duncan's constant abuse and turn their toxic rivalry into a blossoming relationship that's beautiful and glorious. However, Duncold is still a rarepair in the fandom, on account of both men having girlfriends in the show. Conflicting ships are Lesharold, Duncney, and Gwuncan. These canon relationships pose serious competition for Duncold as notn only are they canon, but they are extremely popular and generally agreed upon by most fans as the ideal ships for Harold and Duncan, respectively. Even non-canon ships like Doey, Deather, and H-Bomb hold more water than Duncold.
