Yeah, so, I'm kind of plowed and I don't have much in me to write at the moment. I'll give you a superstar entry tomorrow. Because I only promised to post every day, I have not broken my vow. Take that.

May as well make a survey out of this: Discuss your favorite fowls of pop culturedom. From Scrooge to Ace Duck.

I always liked Gizmo Duck.

Wow, I never thought I’d get this question. It’s a tough one. I might have to go with the ugly duckling (specifically the one from the later Disney cartoon.) I’m sure it will change after I read your responses.

I liked Daffy Duck back when he was completely insane. You just knew he was on something.

You were bound to tucker out sooner or later, Matt. No worries (haha, remember THAT) I’m just surprised you’ve juggled your job and home life and still entertaining us everyday.

Darkwing Duck.

Let’s get dangerous…

Chestnuts roasted by Frito @ 08/11/2006 11:10 PM

I’m not tuckered! I just drank too much. NOT tuckered.

Got to be the chickens out of the muppet show for me

My favorite specific cartoon with a duck in it is the one in which Donald Duck has a huge snow battle with Huey, Dewey and Louie. He’s so great at spazzing, then at the end, just as his ship breaks down he says "Oh my goodness, what is this?" so genuine. He can’t hide his emotions, that’s what I love about him.
But I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Count Duckula.

Well….when I was kindergarden age I was particularly fond of Darkwing Duck. So much so that my mother had to order a stuffed animal of him from Disney Land or something. And I remember my aunt taking my to Toys R Us and buying me some odd Darkwin Duck motorcycle…or gun. Something like that. I was an odd child.
Still, looking back, I don’t know what the appeal was. And recently I learned my mother ordered the DVDs for me for my birthday. I guess I’ll have to renew my faith.

Darkwing Duck, definitely.

Keeping with the theme of the evening, Victory Golden Monkey…mmmm, Monkey….

Ahhh, I misinterpreted "plowed" I usually just use the verbs "tanked" or "bombed" NOT tuckered!

And even though my first day at my new job is for some fucking reason TOMORROW AT 9am, the bar’s open until 2. I wouldn’t be me showing up all cleary-eyed and shit.

Maybe, if consciousness permits, I can jump back here and go on tangents of DW. Good pick, Frito.

Chestnuts roasted by ColonelCatsup @ 08/11/2006 11:15 PM

I guess I’ll go with Daffy. He’s classic. Although the duck always seems to be the sideshow, not the main act. Why am I answering this, I would rather be drinking…

Chestnuts roasted by kb @ 08/11/2006 11:17 PM

Gracias, Colonel!

Chestnuts roasted by Frito @ 08/11/2006 11:18 PM

Either Daffy, Darkwing or Duckula. It’s so hard to choose, all the great cartoon roles go to ducks. I’m not sure why.

Chestnuts roasted by Doctor Who @ 08/11/2006 11:18 PM

I’m big on the Disney ducks — Donald leads because he should, but I dig on all Disney ducks.

I mentioned Ace Duck because I love him too. Psyduck, he counts. Also fond of the piano-playing chicken Rose thought Sophia’s sister killed and cooked. And, of course, any chickens who star in their own http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0918/index2.html" target="blank">Chicken Machines.

I’ve always been a fan of the terror that flaps in the night. but Gizmo rocks my world two…. Who would win in a fight… Darkwing or Gizmo? And if Launchpad showed up where would his loyalties lie? to Darkwing or to the Ducktales charector?

Chestnuts roasted by Neo Anderson @ 08/11/2006 11:20 PM

I definitly think that "Launchpad" was one of the better comic-relief-sidekick ducks of the disney afternoon when (most of us) were kids.

Chestnuts roasted by Frito @ 08/11/2006 11:22 PM

I’d definately have to list Darking as #1 for obvious reasons. After that I might just have to go with Howard the Duck. God I love that movie.

Chestnuts roasted by Mystie @ 08/11/2006 11:23 PM

I may be the only one, but my favorite cult movie of all time is Howard the Duck. In fact there’s not a fowl I hate:

SNL’s Cluckin Chicken
San Diego Chicken
Disco Duck
Daffy
Ducktales
Big Bird
Darkwing Duck
Count Duckula

Never watched Rocka Doodle though. Plus, although this will probably put me on the X-E banned list, I can’t stand to eat more than one Peep in a sitting.

Chestnuts roasted by JLAJRC @ 08/11/2006 11:29 PM

I don’t know if it counts or not, but for some reason I’m damn fond of the Burger King chicken commercials with the "Big Buckin’ Chicken" song. Makes me laugh everytime.

Chestnuts roasted by Frito @ 08/11/2006 11:34 PM

Cheers man! Tequila rules for me! Although I am still not wasted yet! See, Matt, I can still type!
I am not really crazy about any of the ducks… I was thinking of mentioning Chicken Run and then I remembered they were Chickens not DUCKS! Okay, so yes maybe I have had a few shots! But I can still type! HA! Back at ya!

Chestnuts roasted by two fingers @ 08/11/2006 11:34 PM

Deadeye Duck from Bucky O’Hare was my favorite. On the series he was much more of a fighting guy than any of the others.

Of course, the show did not last long simply because the average viewer was incapable of handling a complex plot with lots of details.

Chestnuts roasted by mjf7583 @ 08/11/2006 11:35 PM

Oh damn! Now I have reread the post and you mentioned FOWL so CHICKEN RUN it is. Don’t know why maybe it is all the Mel Gibson hoopla and tequila!

Chestnuts roasted by two fingers @ 08/11/2006 11:38 PM

Well, since the woman’s FINALLY on her way over here so we can FINALLY head out to get plastered, I have some time to kill, so my vote, aside from DW:

Launchpad was a role model for me growing up. And I thought it to be the coolest thing ever when he made the transition from Ducktales to, not only Darkwing Duck, but then eventually to Tailspin as well.

Gizmoduck was another fave too. I couldn’t grasp the physics of a duck running around on just one wheel.

Dammit, someone help me remember his catchphrase when he wanted to change into Gizmo…

Chestnuts roasted by ColonelCatsup @ 08/11/2006 11:41 PM

that’s any kind of bird, right? outside of the Disney ducks, I like Woodstock.
