step on a duck

The sound of a particular fart caused by overly compressed butt cheeks. This will occur due to the person attempting to slip out a silent squeaker so as not to draw attention to his or herself. Odds are a quack-like sound will result from this expulsion. There will always be at least one person who will notice and call you out immediately.

step on lego

The worst thing one can wish to another. Stepping on legos barefoot causes an immense pain and is to be considered agony in it's purest form.
Richard told everyone in 9chat to step on lego, when they were rude to him.

step on the joke

To 'step on a joke' is a term in comedy writing. It means to ruin a decent joke by by following it too quickly with a riff or another punchline in an attempt to draw more laughs. Stepping on a joke is a fatal flaw of bad sitcoms and improv groups, where several actors may step on each other's jokes in attempts to one-up each other.

Joke-stepping is particularly noticeable in certain comics, where attempts to cram several related punchlines into a short space such as a final panel are more obvious than in filmed media.

In some usage, to step on a joke means to ruin it by deflating it or explaining it. This is more accurately called 'killing the joke' which can be a deliberate form of anti-humor. Stepping on the joke usually isn't.
To use the phrase:

Did you see that Jay Leno monologue? Making all those lame comments after his punchline? He stepped on that joke so hard he practically curb-stomped it.

To step on the joke:

It was like he was going, "Kiss the curb, you joke!" Heh. Hmm. Yeah. Whoo.

step on a rake

to say or do something seemingly uncontroversial which evokes an unexpectedly vehement response - akin to the experience of stepping on a rake in the dark such that the shaft swings up and suddenly hits one in the face.
He probably thought it would be an innocent remark, little realising he would step on a rake in view of the violent respnse it was likely to draw.
