Underrated animated series that never managed to achieve the legendary status of, for example, Beavis and Butthead. Too bad, because Duckman also gives a very striking picture of the nineties. It starts with the Duckman voiced by Jason Alexander, the sexist good-for-nothing who is constantly fishing for the confirmation of his children. He may be a private detective, but his greatest quest is to find his own identity in a chaotic world. My favorite character is of course the always sharp Cornfed, who always points Duckman in his place. Or who once picked up an idiotic skill in a past life off-camera.

Recurring themes are how this half-duck/half-man tries to survive in a world that on the one hand enforces perfection, but on the other hand also has its ugly dark side. Reality television is turned on nice and thick as the raunchy crap. Schools are presented as impregnable fortresses where the police and army have to keep things clean. And love, oh, love, in a brilliant episode, Duckman finally finds a new love in the operator of the 9-11 exchange. He swoons over her sweet-voiced voice. Point of concern: she is so ugly that, like a kind of Caspar the Friendly Ghost, she leaves her surroundings terrified.

Many of the jokes in the series can be traced back to the ugliness of society, which is beautifully portrayed by using (consciously chosen) ugly animation and the most bizarre monstrosities in supporting roles. The jokes are finely divided between blunt slapstick, intelligent satirical humor and razor-sharp written dialogue.
