Queer Duck
I had never heard of this cartoon before, but oh my god did I laugh my head off! The animation is a bit crude but the jokes are so much fun. It is about the life of Queer Duck, his partner Openly Gator, and friends Bi-Polar Bear and Oscar Wildcat.
In an early scene, Queer Duck is watching TV and comes across an evangelist show called “The Born-Again Supremacy” where Reverend Van Der Gelding (a horse of course) claims to be successful in curing gayness. Queer Duck phones in to the show posing as a person with Tourette syndrome, begging for help and insulting the host concurrently.
After being rejected from Happy Land, a narrow minded theme park, Queer Duck wonders if life would be easier if he were straight. Working as a male nurse, he befriending an old, rich gay icon, an eventually makes the snap decision to marry her - much to the distress of Openly Gator. Reverend Van Der Gelding is enlisted to cure Queer Duck’s gayness but the standard electro-shock therapy doesn’t work. Not to be defeated, the evil reverend kidnaps him on his wedding day, mixing a magical potion that actually works – but Queer Duck’s straight stint is short lived as he bangs his wife to death on their honeymoon.
Queer Duck sees a doctor to turn him gay again, but in the end the only thing that works is Barbra Streisand. With the estate of his deceased ex-wife, Queer Duck opens a gay baseball stadium much to the delight of Bi-Polar Bear. Next, he buys out Happy Land and renames it to Fairy Land, posting up signs such as “You must be THIS GAY to ride”. One of the theatre shows features “Mostly Dick” a penis-shaped whale.
I know in summary this movie probably sounds silly, but it’s the little puns, jokes, and gay humor that make this cartoon incredibly funny – the storyline itself is…well…its a bit fluffy. With cameos by Conan O’Brien, Rosie O’Donnell, Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli, and voices by well known actors like David Duchovny, Tim Curry, Andy Dick, this cartoon will have you howling
