Duckman - Nostalgia Critic 

So this a 90's bojack horseman

Well, it's certainly a better love letter than that horrible Pink Floyd video/album you made.

And All Animation shouldn't be meant for kids either..

Another Awesome retrospective. This was one of those shows I knew was NOT meant for me as a kid, but I watched it anyway, like Beavis & Butt-Head, Celebrity Deathmatch, whatever else was on MTV at the time (hey, theme month idea!) and I'm just now realizing VIACOM-owned channels kinda cornered the market on "not-for-kids" cartoons in the 90's. Also, please review The Crow and Dark City.

Can you review The Diary of the wimpy Kid Movies please

My favorite cornfed moment

that's technique is used in Gameof thrones no ?

More like 101

That's hilarious.

that's based on a real torture. I read about where they'd strap a cage of rats to the victim's stomach and light a fire underneath it so the rats would be so crazed they'd tear apart the person's stomach to escape.

HAHA

My favorite one was from the Exile in Guyville episode where men and women divided the country after Duckman and Bernice had a televised argument and a girl asked Bernice why all the women smelled so bad: Bernice "because spiders crawled into all the bathtubs." Girl: "But aren't we strong, empowered women who can do anything?" Bernice:"You don't understand dear, these are spiders."

Jason Alexander IS Duckman!

I re watched the whole series a couple of years ago .....great time I had 😂

No way

Even more than Seinfeld?

@@louisduarte8763 he probably got to get away with alot more being Duckman than George Costanza

I hope that Duckman is revived eventually, in Everett Peck’s honor.

HOLY SHIT, DUDE THEY SAID THAT?! That's HILARIOUS

What episode?

GOD DAMN, THOSE WRITERS DIDN’T GIVE A SHIT

Then they look at each other and say, "Ewwww..." I still quote that to this day.

Omg!

My favorite Duckman line is from Ride The Highschool: Bernice! That School is a Hellhole! Bernice: It used to be such a fine upstanding school, what happened? Cuts to Duckman protesting Bush 41's Tax Increases. Duckman looks sheepishly as he recalls.

“It’s Tuesday!!”

@@randalgraves6979 Fluffy/Uranus: [screams off-screen] _"...Mr. Duckman,_ _why did you eviscerate us with a hot curling iron?"_ Duckman: _"...It's Tuesday."_ [slams door]

I remember thinking it was PERFECT for Duckman. Then again i was 14 at the time.

@@MamaMOB I too was 14 in '97.

Ah shucks. I just started season 4. This is the first time I'm watching this series. Your comment isn't really a spoiler considering the episodes are all independent and stuff, so I guess I don't hate you.

@@DahakaMatthew plus yk...the video actually says it so, yk, if you were gonna hate, dont shoot the messenger lol

No kidding right. I can't believe it took doug so long to get to this one

Yeah

I know hell yeah

ehh rebeltaxi did it first

Seriously no one I know seems to remember it.

I prefer the episode with the backstory of the Grandma.

Classic episode...

My Favorite Episodes of Duckman are as followed: Ride The High School, It's the Thing of The Principal, Forbidden Fruit, Joking The Chicken, America The Beautiful , Sperms of Endearment,Exile in Guyville, About Face, Roll With it. So many classics. But the one's where Duckman and Bernice/Bernie hook up are the best ones.

@@22espec My all time favor is Joking the Chicken. But Runner's up is Its the Thing of The Principal.

I was looking for someone mentioning this episode. It's always the simple things that make the biggest impact and this scene shows it, even if you are flawed and broken you can still find that someone that loves yoh and in turn shows you you can love just as much

Agreed. The 90's were unapologetically raw.

The whole decade was a wild fever dream... I miss it

@@marcoparada6652 What's crazy is that people didn't seem to realize it at the time. I remember people saying, "You couldn't make a character like Archie Bunker today," back then, but there were actually Archie Bunker like characters at the time. I guess just not on network TV.

I disagree. Aesthetically, nothing about it screams "90s" to me. Only the cultural references.

@@zmbdog Wdym? Aesthetics-wise it's evokes the 90s experimentalism as Doug Walker mentioned, while it's also signify the last years of 2D cel animations alongside the earlier seasons of The Simpsons as adult animations with sharp yet heartful commentary

Eeeeh R&M tripped over their loose shoe laces

And fell into a pit of acid

Probably the former, if I'm being honest here.

@@crazyluigi6664 yup. With Adult Swim, it's more like Rick and Morty was a lucky break and then you have stuff like Mr. PICKLES (which I have no idea how it got greenlit).

@@isaigutierrez1617 they need something for stoners to laugh at between midnight and 6 am.

Don't give me hope mate

Probably Adult Swim. Netflix is way too liberal and Duckman get way too conservative to the point it would get kicked off. In this day of age a conservative outlook is refreshing to me.

Yes I remember that chapter, was really good, he see her again in later season, quite good.

Wow.

About Face. Aired October 15,1994. Even Bernice consoles him, because she understands he's still emotional over Beatrice.

I definitely remember that episode! It had such a bummer of and ending as you just hear the phone ring. This show was so Underrated!

@@Tornado1994 and that look she gave him like you knew she felt his pain!

Remember the Episode "Gland of Opportunity"? One of the more early, popular episodes.

Butler: "Yes, they say they're from A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-" Duckman: "...all right, come on, we don't even have a plot yet!"

Yeah i wish 😃😃😃

@Markus Stalin The show is fine, but the movie is garbage. Mainly because it was meant to be garbage.

@@aidanredding8058 I agree with you. While the show is very violent and gets very risque at times, it still is a pretty good cartoon comedy. The movie was basically a giant middle finger to the people who cancelled their show.

YES

We dont talk about that 😔

Damn that's a rant alright

My politically correct answer is, "I completely agree with him" but my genuine answer is "Melodramatic much?" Lol. But I'm certain I'd enjoy the show as a whole, I remember bits of it in my childhood.

@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley Well he says all of this while being held against in will in a psych ward if that adds a layer of context to it. I can't really blame him for the theatrics. lol

Is he wrong though?

@@thealchemistking4063 not that I can see.

The network never cares only the fans do, why don't they see that and stop using that old trick😂

for a second i thought you meant teen titans: GO, and i practically screeched with happiness

South Park: Lets do everything we fucking can to get canceled and dare the network to cancel us *Still on the Air* South Park: FUCK

Futurama: Let's do a sweet and proper farewell since we're being cancelled. Show is renewed. Futurama: Let's do a sweet and proper farewell since we're being cancelled. Show is renewed. Futurama: Let's do a sweet and proper farewell since we're being cancelled. Show is renewed. True story... they had actually made four separate finales expecting it to be the last episode only for the show to continue. Basically, every episode where Fry and Leela seem to get closer together. By the 4th time their relationship was so close they decided screw it and just had them grow old together.

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO REMIND ME OF TEEN TITANS' FINALE?!

Duckman DVDs on Ebay, of course.

@@ThePreciseClimber uh nothing nothing at all

I don't know yet. Its not labled.

People knew about USA. They just didn't care. It was mostly trash at the time. I preferred it that way, myself. Bad cartoons in the morning, worse TV shows all day, and terrible movies at night. It gloried in its crappishness.

@@singaporesammy AH, yes, I remember USA from the 90's. I believe they tried their own block of Saturday Morning Cartoons (including Sonic the Hedgehog) to compete with Nick, Cartoon Network, and local broadcast stations (including FOX Kids and Kids WB). What I can't recall is when they ditched all that stuff and began the "Characters Welcome" era, with shows like Royal Pains, Burn Notice, Psyche, White Collar, Mr. Robot, and others I probably forgot and have no time to catch up with.

@@louisduarte8763 Cartoon Express. Highlander: The Animated Series, Challenge of the GoBots, Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling... It was awesomely bad. It was also older than Nick and Cartoon Network by a decade or so. Personally, I mostly miss the "Up All Night" block of B-movies.

Duckman showed that there was a market for shows like southpark. Even if you want to argue the shows that followed didnt take inspiration from it, the show still helped pave the way by showing a proof of concept. Its like any new genre of movies, we wouldnt have gotten avengers if iron man hadnt crushed it. When supergirl failed in theaters, it was years before they dared show a female lead super movie. Duckman ran on the network for three years showing that this type of humor could work in an adult cartoon and do well for itself. So future networks could justify taking the risk to green light another one along those lines.

@@singaporesammy Hell yeah Up all with Night with Rhonda Shear, and Gilbert Godfrey was an awesome, and as a kid I had a small 13in CRT in my bedroom with a headphone jack so I would sit up, and watch it often as I could same with Duckman. Also let us not forget WWF/WWE wrestling. USANetwork was awesome back in the 80's, and 90's. The only thing I watch on it now is WWE RAW.

He's PROUD of it. That's why. Share it with Jason Alexander,Nancy Travis,EG Daily, Pat Musick and Mae Whitman!

I tweeted Jason Alexander about reviving it. 😏

@@Tornado1994 And Tim Curry!

@@dorothyallspice1862 Yup. King Chicken!

I love when people associated with movies or shows support Doug after he reviews their movies or shows

Omg yes i miss that movie

+Jaci0607 We got you bugged

@@ChannelAwesome I gotcha. You have all these episodes in the pipeline about shows that might someday crawl out of our memory holes and the minute we say, "Oh yeah, remember ____?", then BANG, posted.

Yeah... weird. My brother brought up MoonUnit Zappa's name the other day and I told him that her brother Dweezel was the voice of Ajax on Duckman.

Yeah. Japan doesn't treat 17 year olds like they're 7. Wish america would figure that out

@@doctorfeinstone6524 Yeah, let's pretend Japan is perfect

That is a polite way of saying Japan is batshit insane.

DawnOfTheOzz and this was the beginning of that episode lmaoo

Dougman has never been in duckman

@@nickwilde2569 S04 E27... But you are still right.

The Critic is hands down one of the greatest shows EVER.

@@KingRandor82 Yes sir. My favorite is when a car smashed into the Cats play and they all ran out on fire and he said "and nothing of value was lost" Priceless

I loved Duckman as a Preteen in the mid 90s!

The critic actually did get revived back in 2000 - 2001 with 10 webisodes.

I think a new hip digital animation format would work ...

Well, if the Sorceresses of The Witcher can do it...

Reviving something doesn't always work. I mean look at Ghostbusters.

@@WillShakes423 the new one looks good, what are you talking about? It's Stranger Things in the Ghostbusters universe. What could go wrong

PREACH BROTHER

How do I like a comment twice?

Dwezil Zappa. I was 10 when I first saw the pilot on Comedy Central in late '93.

Oh good, I'm not the only kiddo out there who watched this. I'm Canadian so I had to wait for Teletoon to get its clutches on it in what I guess were reruns. I saw it when I was about 11 myself, but that was in '98 and the show had ended in the States by then. Gods did I enjoy it though, I had no real idea what I was truly laughing at, at the time, but I knew it was funny.

I watched and miss those days. Putting this on late at night just hits different …90s

"Am I doing the right thing, marrying Beatrice? Do we grow old together?" "... You're gonna love her 'til the day you die." The delivery on that was powerful.

I named my favorite episodes of Duckman. They're ALL fantastic episodes that I watch back when they aired during 1994-1995.

Sure, but there are things that stand out about you too.

Troy Wright You can go too far. I like dark comedy as much as the anti PC brigade. Difference is, I recognise that offensive jokes need to be constructive and have substance. It has limits, like everything else. Dark comedy often punches up, where the punchline is usually at the expense of the asshole doing something offensive. If you joke about domestic violence, let’s say, the goal of the joke should be to get you to side with the victim. Too often people say racist or sexist shit and then claim persecution by the PC brigade. Sometimes that can be true, other times it’s just because their humour was at the expense of a victim, rather than the perpetrator. Which is neither pushing past any prejudices nor making the audience think. It just confirms preexisting notions. Even self deprecating humour only works because you’re supposed to laugh with the person facing adversity, not at their expense for whatever challenge they may face. Now I haven’t seen Duckman in a while, but if I remember correctly, the humour works for a couple of reasons. You know why the character has his philosophy and why his humour is the way it is. Making him relatable and also likeable. But you’re not always necessarily laughing with him. He is shit on and he does get his comeuppance. You do laugh at him as well as with him. Because it’s a balance. I’ll admit it’s rather cathartic to see him destroy the two overly nice Fluffy and Uranus. It’s because yes it’s good to be considerate. But people constantly on your shit about being the nicest most egalitarian person ever whilst being condescending is annoying as fuck. You do need to be a bit “rough and tough” to get through life. But you can’t be too far the other way either, otherwise you’re just another insensitive miserable belligerent prick. But if the comedy is merely just more shallow stereotypes to laugh at (be it The Pepe flag or the stand up of Lilly Singh) it doesn’t always work as well. On the internet it might, because it’s just a cheap laugh. But if you’re doing it professionally, you need to be able to not only read the crowd correctly, but also challenge the crowd appropriately. TLDR: Edgy humour needs to be more than “insert edgy meme here” if it wants to claim that comedy should be dark and confrontational.

I mean, there's a huge difference, but I think we can summarize the general idea as this: "Time and place, asshole!" What that means is, there's a time to make a certain joke. There's a place to do it, too. No one, and I mean, NO ONE, is gonna be very happy if you make a lot of fucking jokes about Jews at like.. a concentration camp site. That's pretty obvious, I'd say. Make jokes about death at a funeral, and you might make laughter, someone happy and thus inspire them to remember the good times with the one who passed. THAT'S a good place. Make jokes about death at a memorial service to honor the fallen soldiers who fought for freedom, however? That's NOT a good place.

Привет!

It's funny because they also joke about that in the Duckman show. How people sometimes use Comedy just to cover their obviously racist intentions.

@@someonerandom8552 you ever think about writing a book?

Yes!

I'm still open to seeing a review of Moral Orel

Oh my god YES!! YES!! A million times YES!!

Came to say the same thing. 👍

I love Duckman but I'm not a fan of the critic. Similar to Duckman the main character is a total jack ass, except the comedy isn't near as good to justify his behavior

Never heard of it, but I just started the first episode right now. It's already really good halfway through.

The Algerian I loved this show as a kid, but honestly never realized the political and social commentary. Definitely must have been subliminal/unconscious as to why I’m so suspect of everything now. This was shown on the late night, and was the show we begged our parents to stay up a lil longer to watch. They must have thought it educational to allow it haha

YEEEEEESSSSS

Those live action dog segments still haunt my dreams to this day.

Justin Cordova hold up

You can't fool the almighty Algorithm; it sees all, and knows all...

Fuck, man.

Sounds like something that would happen to Duckman if he decided to Google himself.

I have all 4 seasons on DVD. Watch it all the time

she's a gem

The Mother from Three Men and a Baby, and So I Married an Axe Murderer, voices Bernice,Beatrice and Beverly. Her name is Nancy Travis. She also starred in Last Man Standing With Tim Allen. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-smVge5w077g.html You can clearly hear a mix of Bernie and Beatrice in her voice.

Brian Doyle Murray did the “other” grammma.

Thank you!

It stinks.

Cory Thompson he has. Twice.

Review The Critic? It stinks!

Nah, too meta. ;)

He was also one of the kids in The Polar Express and one of the students in Grease

I agree with you, I'm 48 and I really believe my generation is the last one that took almost nothing seriously. But the problem is that Twitter, etc IS so powerful. Look at what happened to Roseanne. Now IMO what she said wasn't funny, or at least not funny enough to get away with. BUT... She could have had the guts to stand by it. Barring that, she should've just apologized and not tried to blame the Ambien. AND YET... In either case, ABC had NO right to fire her just for a stupid joke. That was a massive over-reaction that never would've happened during the original run of the show. Sure some humor in the 80s and 90s was inappropriate, in way too many ways, but the pendulum has swung too far the other way.

@@Chad_Eldridge Agreed. And this is a channel where I rarely see trolls. ;)

@@Chad_Eldridge ...ok, fair point. That did get really nasty really quickly. 😳

@@gretchen8100 This place was also swimming with Change the channel cronies for months as well thank god most of them are gone

Oh, yeah, back when it had a whole block of non-South Park animation on late Sunday nights. Glad someone else remembers that was a thing.

I’d prefer Amazon, HBO Max, or Hulu to revive it. Netflix is already filled with content.

"Ah Fuck, it's Dickman"

Loved both of those shows as a teen in the 90s.

If Nostalgia Critic didn't go over THE Critic before, he should now. I know MovieBob talked about that show before, but I'd like a take from another angle.

Duckman: "Okay, Medfly...what was that?!? What are my family and friends doing in it? Are they in danger too?!? And most important... _who_ was that luscious piece of tail walking by in the beginning?"

I still put this on late at night sometimes. Just gives me those 90s vibes

Joking The Chicken in 1994 predicted SJWs, and Forbidden Fruit in 1995 predicted Me too. WOW.

@@Tornado1994 Those types of people have always been around, it's just that now everybody's opinion is heard because of the internet.

They are. In the first episode "I Duckman" he is sleeping in his bed. When he wakes up, he has no eyes, but after putting on his glasses, you can see his eyes. On his glasses!

@@noahdean9685 Fair enough.

Or even go a step futher and do a review of Dilbert, another underrated adult animated show

Amen brother. Though I dont challenge the norm through humor, I ask people nearly everyday... why? Why do you think this about this? Why do you feel this way? Most the time people cannot explain why they think something. Questioning the world around you is the most powerful thing you can do to advance society. Whether it be through political activism or a rude duck with a libido.

Bryan Martin I think what makes comedy so effective in this case is that it’s basically a bastardization of the Socratic Method. Through satire, you make them see the flaws of their beliefs and make them question themselves. A person asking themselves “why?” Is far more potent then someone else asking the same question.

Same though, I don't really like dark humor jokes. Very rarely do I laugh at them and then I feel bad for laughing at them

King Chicken is Tim Curry!

I remember Squirrel Boy a bit. I used to enjoy that show. Havent seen it in soooo long.
