Duckman: Seasons 1-2 (1994)

Duckman (starring Jason Alexander) is glib, cantankerous, and shot-from-guns. It is one of the best animated series for adults ever. Duckman is rougher but funnier than The Oblongs (starring Will Ferrell) and The Critic (starring Jon Lovitz), and about as edgy but funnier than the much more polished Archer (starring H. Jon Benjamin). Duckman's rants are literate, florid, and often topical: He lays into anyone and anything, seemingly at random, but often at great depth. His best rants go on for a minute or more, seemingly in the same breath. You have to listen very closely, though I would recommend multiple viewings of personally owned DVD set. Notflix took 8 years to restock this DVD set, which I have been waiting to see in its entirety since it aired in the mid-1990s. Frequent themes include Duckman being ignored and taken for granted by his family, Duckman shredding his ever-so-cute plush-bear office assistants Fluffy and Uranus, Duckman chasing or propositioning anything in a skirt, and more. I seem to remember an edgy scene involving a bunk bed creaking in the dark (that wasn't what you thought). Catch it while you can. Enjoy! 5 stars. (5-30-2017)
