This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
the audience applauded
just watch it!
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
View MoreYep, that's what they did. Back in 2001, when they had their 'Top 100 Cartoon Shows of All Time' list, somebody seemed to have forgotten about this gem. They put 'Scooby's All-Star Laff-A Lympics' on their list, but left out 'Duckman'?! Give me a break! Jason Alexander ('George Constanza' on Seinfeld) voiced the fool out of Duckman, and was superb! Alas, unfortunately, it was taken off the air too soon. Loved the ep where an escaped prisoner, who looked exactly like Grandma (and sounded like a heavily-voiced man), forcibly kissed Duckman because she hadn't had a man for a long time since she had been in prison, and said, "Hm! Not bad!" (while Duckman was choking like a mad duck, and wiping his mouth), I thought I was going to fall out of my seat because I was laughing so hard!Cornfed Pig, the Jack Webb-sounding partner was just as hilarious as he was constantly saving Duckman's hide! Would somebody *please* do this cartoon justice by acknowledging it?!
View MoreOh...My...GOD!!! Is it humanly possible to make a television series greater than Duckman? The answer is simple: No, it is not. Why is this show so great? Well, let's see, the writing, the characters, the storylines, the social commentary, the animation... The list could go on and on. This show has been canceled for quite some time (since 1997) but re-runs currently show on Comedy central at some ungodly hour of the night/morning. It doesn't promise to stay there for very long, though. If you want to see this series, start recording it whenever you get the chance. I am currently lucky enough to have almost the entire series on tape. Be sure to pay special atention to the following episodes, which are the best DM has to offer:America the Beautiful- One of the most biting social commentaries ever shown on TV! It also has a VERY catchy song at the end of the show...The Once and Future Duck: The most popular DM episode.Pig Amok: Hilarity in it's purest form.Noir Gang: My fav episode.About Face: Some interesting bits of drama and character development.Role With it: Some more interesting bits of drama and character development.Bev Takes a Holiday: another fav of mine.LOVE! ANGER! KVETCHING!: See for Joe Walsh's special version of "Life's been Good" sung towards the end.Four Weddings Inconceivable: The final episode.I,Duckman: The first episode.Gripes of Wrath: A classic!Psyche: A rather subtle landmark episode that also happens to be excruciantingly funny.Joking the Chicken: See for Duckman's brilliant speech at the end.It's a Thing of the Principal: Funny!Cock Tales for Four: Why didn't this get an emmy!?The Girls of Route Canal: Hilarious spoof of "The Bridges of Madison County."Research and Destroy: Great spoof on the film Brazil and office/corporate life in general.Papa Oom M.O.W. M.O.W.: Funny!Hamlet 2: Hilarious spoof on Hamlet.Exile in Guyville: Funny!Not so Easy Riders: Funny!Clip Job: Easily the best clip show ever produced! Very self-aware.The Amazing Collosal Duckman: Funny!From Brad to Worse: Funny!Bonfire of the Panties: Funny!A Room with a Bellevue: Another popular episode.
View MoreWhy do all the good shows get cancelled?Although not quite as funny as "THE SIMPSONS", "DUCKMAN" is easily the funniest television series to come around in a very long time. The jokes are non-stop and laugh-aloud, and there are so many little bits of humor that go by so fast that you will miss them because you are too busy cracking up at something one of the characters said/did a second earlier.The artwork and writing are nothing short of brilliant, and the voice-acting is great too. I sure hope they release video/DVD compilations of this soon.
View MoreThis show was so wonderful. The cynical, half-deranged title character is too funny for words. The throwbacks on society are not only funny, but oh so true. I agree with everyone else that this show was one of the best ever made. Watch it on Comedy Central, because I can't explain how funny this show actually is.
