Duck Hunt Behind-the-Scenes: Ducks Playing Duck Hunt

[Awsomenerd]

Any human I kill in games could be me as well lol

[Awsomenerd]

I wanna go back to NES. Sucks I don't have mine still too.

[sexrocks66]

I see that they still got the Retro NES. Kinda wish I had mine still.

[robotlien]

lol



[georgeowain]

I'll be honest, this makes more sense and is more funnier than that Seth MacFarlane “Two ducks watch 'Meet the Parents'”

[MrROBINKONG]

LOL

[FatCat8900]

lol humans play call of duty lol XD

[RougexShadow007]

OMG WHEN I WAS LITTLE I PLAYED THIS WHILE SITTING ABOUT AN INCH FROM THE SCREEN xD

[xXDarkLegend16Xx]

well you shoot other humans in cod

[khoraski]

We shoot humans on video games.

[FullmetalSnake4501]

I remember playing grand theft auto and I was killing a cop and there was a cop in my house watching me play xD and fyi the cop was there for one of my siblings

[TruBeliever4Life]

stealing animation from someone else.... thats just sad lol

[KeksdosemitKaffee]

I am human and I shot humans in video games :/

[huntertraceur]

the buttons on the controller are in wrong position also thumb up if you dont know that conecting the second controller you can control the ducks :D

[OilyTower]

Ya you definatly stole this.

would be funny if some1 actually shoot the dog.

[OilyTower]

Ya you definatly stole this vid from bowlingballout >_>

Balls to you for doin it just after one day orignal was upped!

): suoiralih si tuollabgnilwob no mialc eslaf uhcakipytloj , gniddik tsuJ OAML

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@OilyTower Ha! Except for the fact that we made this with BowlingBallOut so that we could have two different versions. I wrote this concept and pitched it to him to animate. I also acted as the producer, I recruited/directed the voice actors. Check out his version. The ending is different. Thanks!

[OilyTower]

@TheAnimationEmpire I knew that all along , i felt like i had to do the same accusation as joltypikachu did on Bowlings version. Well i do give you a hint in my backward sentence.

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@OilyTower Ah, sorry I missed that cuz I didn't know jolty did that. Thanks!

[mrxai658]

never expected the second controller could control the ducks

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@mrxai658 Yeah it really works. Try it out!

[behinddawindow]

Do they have the laughing dog as the neighbor?

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@behinddawindow Yes, he's the one who shot them at the end!

[Javixzwii5]

What The... jajaja

[paradoxparody]

what the DUCK!

[symonglorian]

Duck me..

[goombajake]

thumbs up i you saw mario

[hydracordreas]

lol! Funny stuff!

[ruwan591]

what the Duck!!!

[supermankicass]

Why are the ducks from Brooklyn?

[Kelego1]

61 haters ara dogs !!! XD

[slimmy2001]

i see the doll to

[dinnerdawinner]

mario doll!

[slimmy2001]

i see the mario doll to

[RightArmProductions]

Hey, It's the same for ducks as people playing GTA. I don't see what the big deal is.

BTW, anyone happen to notice the Mario doll in the corner, or am I the only one so far?

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@RightArmProductions You're the first one. And I don't know what you're talking about. What's GTA? People never shoot each other!

[southforkkids27]

@TheAnimationEmpire right arm productions was not the first one if u look at the dates mrdeathrock posted it 1 week ago and right posted it 3 days ago if ur reading this the day i posted it

[CrusherX1000]

@TheAnimationEmpire GTA stands for grand theft auto

[theawsomeomar]

@TheAnimationEmpire sure they don't

[fancyguyfromsweden]

@TheAnimationEmpire ...grand theft auto  look it up!

[gamegod9000]

@TheAnimationEmpire

GTA is Grand Theft Auto.

[luigifan001]

@TheAnimationEmpire Grant theft auto

[Vdogg2496]

@TheAnimationEmpire He isn't the first one! I noticed it so I am amazing.

[VerendumProductions]

@RightArmProductions Is there a game where you play as a lion and eat children?

[Frobe1357]

@RightArmProductions I agree completely

and I to saw the mario doll

[EpicPwnage52]

@RightArmProductions  i saw the doll, maybe they hate mario and its a voodoo doll 0_o

[thigi78]

@RightArmProductions Mario doll??? must just be you

[superpeachlogan2]

@RightArmProductions i saw it!!!

[TheRyu101]

@RightArmProductions Truthfully Mario was the FIRST thing I saw :)

[supermariokain]

@RightArmProductions i saw the mario doll too

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@RightArmProductions This is funny that it's voted up so high! For those who don't know, this is the animator and he's restating all the things that we read constantly in the comments. So it's kind of a joke. Thanks!

[stanleyjosten]

There are games where you shoot people. Green Duck Person is clearly just paranoid.

[david419224]

DUDE if your going to put a ad over your whole freak'in video make in color!!! but the vid's still cool.

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@david419224 I guess it's an error. You can move your mouse pointer over it to get it in color. Click the x on the top right to get rid of it. Thanks!

[jimdotbeep]

that was one hell of a twist ending

[supertrogdorman5252]

People play games about killing people and no one finds that weird... except for me

[MrDeathrock9]

am i the only one who notices the mario doll? its cute :3 thumbs up if you saw it!

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@MrDeathrock9

Number of comments about the Mario doll - 13

Total number of people who noticed the Mario doll and said so (comments + thumbs up on those comments) - 73

[99hunt3rz]

@MrDeathrock9 sooo you like hairy men?

[MrDeathrock9]

@99hunt3rz no i just find it cute

[FresnoCA93727]

Kinda slow but funny!

[Czaendermajer]

i play counter-strike, what does that make me???

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@Czaendermajer A sitting duck.

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@TheAnimationEmpire Unless you stand when you play.

[maxharleyrogerson]

I hate to be "this guy" but this looks really similar to Seth MacFarlane's video "Two Ducks Watch Meet The Parents"

I really don't want to start shit, I just have to point it out.

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@maxharleyrogerson Wow! I actually didn't even notice this. But I checked it out.

Holy crack in the smack! Have you checked the dates on the videos?

Seth MacFarlane did a promo with Burger King where you added voices to two ducks talking. He eventually turned that into this duck cartoon here about four months ago: watch?v=67tgrJQTplU

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@TheAnimationEmpire HiddenTrack entered the contest, and his video got several thousand views, but then BK took it down (they took them all down). So Hidden Track got BowlingBallOut to remake the animated ducks to his voice he did here: watch?v=0-PUh7TQDLA

And then we approached BowlingBallOut to do this Duck Hunt version. So thus, that's why it looks similar, and we actually didn't know where the ducks came from. Now we do. =^)

[coffeeandsoup]

WHAT THE DUCK?

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@coffeeandsoup Have you seen that version?

[coffeeandsoup]

@TheAnimationEmpire No.........

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@coffeeandsoup The animator made a version called "Duck You"

[dolerbom]

Call Of Duty: Black Bucks.

Halo Reach: Mission 24: Last Duck Standing.

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@dolerbom Those would be interesting games. =^)

[PachiKami]

People kill other people in video games, why cant it be ducks killing ducks?

[supercoolmario123]

thumbs up if you saw mario

[Klaara100]

I love this game, I still have a working NES but I've lost my duck hunt game :(

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@Klaara100 Nooooooo! Must have Duck Hunt!

Thanks for watching!

[ToxicMonster5]

That's good, I like that, it's funny.

[wamoejenou]

Booooooooooooooooooooooriiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiinggggggggggggg

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@wamoejenou We were challenging ourselves to do an animation that didn't require much movement. How would you have made it less boring under those circumstances? Thanks!

[wamoejenou]

@TheAnimationEmpire

There's not enough weed in the world that could make this less boring. What a challenge it was. Thanks!

[david419224]

was that second controller thing for real?

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@david419224 Yes!!! I used to do this back in the 80s! Try it if you can (or if you care). Hahaha. Thanks for watching!

[hattersuffa]

Sort of reminds me of the BK voice-over video thing on youtube, where a person could narrate over different videos and have people vote for the best. There was video with ducks sitting down on a couch watching tv.

[Wildloop]

Well, people shoot people thoo in games ^.^

[Wiijacob]

I don't get what the big deal is. It's just like us playing Cod.

[SniperStorm7]

It's kinda like how we kill our own kind in every almost every videogame, but it doesn't bother us, so why them?

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@SniperStorm7 Well it bothers some people, like maybe your mother. So that's why. The duck on our left is like a mother character.

Thanks for watching!

[SniperStorm7]

@TheAnimationEmpire I guess your right, if you put it that way

[XboxPuppy500]

Uploaded by TheAnimationEmpire on Oct 26, 2009

not true

OCT 26 1983 coz of the NES :D

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@XboxPuppy500 Hahaha. Well, it takes place back in the 80s I guess. =^)

Thanks for watching!

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@Rexus64 Okay. We'll set it up so that the border highlights and text comes on so that you know before you click. Thanks!

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@Deletido Gotei?

[omegakratos123]

is this a attempt to copy family guy animation ?

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@omegakratos123 Not intentional, but the animator was inspired by the art style for another animation, and then we came up with this one, and this story almost fits as a Family Guy cutaway (but was never intended as one)... so it kind of just came together that way.

Thanks for watching!

[Edfan10]

Hey, remember back then when the NES controller had a D-pad on the right and buttons on the left? Ya, neither do I.

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@Edfan10 Hahahah. He likes to play with the controller upside down. Or it's a special controller for left handed ducks. One of those.

Thanks for watching!

[WebVMan]

What if the Cowboys in Wild Gunman sat around shooting other humans? Oh Wait.

[TheSchoolWorld]

People kill people all the time in video games. There's no irony here. You should have made them play "human hunt" or pretend they were in the game and it was their job to be the flying ducks so they could complain. Choose a better premise and it could be funny.

[oyonan]

Yet it's not ironic when people play games killing people....

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@oyonan Well isn't that ironic?

Seriously, it's a little different. We don't play games where humans fly across a field while we pick them off and a dog holds up their carcasses and laughs at us when we miss them. Or do we?

Thanks for watching!

[SirHyneman]

WHAT THE... O_O

[MrSonichu]

This is like Seth Mcfarlens  shorts...

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@MrSonichu Wow thanks! Any comparison to Seth is a compliment, even if it's not intended as one! =^)

[TheSmellyHedgehog]

Using this logic none of us should play Call of Duty

[DArcbeetle]

@TheSmellyHedgehog listen to the logic

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@TheSmellyHedgehog Not if dogs laugh at you and hold up the carcasses... no.

[thetariqman]

nice how can i get alot of views . like u. good job man

[megamormonman]

It all makes sense... this is a metaphor for people playing games where you kill people!

[MrBillyBlade]

That duck has cheats cause hes shooting more than 3 times!

[ssSturmmann13]

Not to be a troll or anything but this really sucked IMO.

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@ssSturmmann13 Really? What would you have two ducks talk about? =^)

[ssSturmmann13]

@TheAnimationEmpire I dono. I like the scenario, like the ducks from duck hunt actually playing duck hunt etc. But I just didn't find the dialogue that funny. I'm no expert I just didn't like it. But I do like the concept.

[JAYZUSFilms]

@raymhensley What my girlfriend did XD

[rayar007]

MAKE A SEQUEL!!!!!!!

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@rayar007 That's a great idea! Do you animate? =^)

[rayar007]

@TheAnimationEmpire nope, not at all. but you should make a sequel :P

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@raymhensley Love the accent! Thanks for watching!

[MileProwersFan]

How is it twisted for Ducks to kill ducks when humans kill humans in video games all the time?

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@MileProwersFan Listen to you. You're arguing with a duck. =^)

That's just a character. We're not making a statement or anything. Thanks for watching!

[XRorshackX]

eh decent, not as good as collige humor though

[thisismyname1920]

I seriously, hated that dog

[FubarLovesBumblebee]

This joke's probably already been made, but... WHAT THE DUCK?!

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@FubarLovesBumblebee Yeah, but the joke's still good! Thank you for watching!

[TheAnimationEmpire]

Hey everybodies. So we're working with our animator of this one (BBO) on Miggie Mouse right now (we started discussions right after we finished this one), but we plan to work on the sequel after that. We'll keep you updated. Thanks!

= TAE

[leirgauk]

Love the Italian accent, btw xD

[leirgauk]

This video proves that ducks are too stupid to play Duck Hunt. I mean, they're cheating by having one player control the ducks, rather than just point the gun at a lamp and shoot, thereby getting a 100% accuracy. Humans - 1, Ducks - 0.

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@leirgauk Pointing at the light source and shooting it kills the ducks????

You see, that's why we made this thing. To have conversations like this. =^)

Thanks!

[leirgauk]

@TheAnimationEmpire It sure does ^^ Just point it at some white light, and the sensors can't tell the difference. Try it yourself ^^ It's not as fun, though... :P

[gamerseye171]

@TheAnimationEmpire you really need to stop putting subscribe annotations in the middle of your videos. im not used to clicking on the play button.

[gamerseye171]

@TheAnimationEmpire yes i know i can turn annotations off but im lazy XD

[boyinthehoodabdi]

i love this video its remain me when i was a little bit younger :P nice work bro

[josh14455]

thats just like us playing gta o.O

[NeptunII]

.. what do you mean a second player could control the duck!??? How could I play that game for 20 years and not know this!

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@NeptunII Pretty simple. You wouldn't expect it to work, so you'd never try it. Nobody did. We found it out by luck.

Thanks for watching!

[GsukiMKFan]

I hate that fucking dog

[ransman413]

Humans playing GTA, ghosts play pacman, aliens playing Galaga. (reply with something that relates) (( no hate comments please :-P))

[SNESMan16]

In reply to your comment, yes I've played Duck Hunt a lot. Great parody! I love the animation.

[stuffyplumbers]

well, in COD we shoot humans and press "circle" right on them

[LkNzinhu]

I've never felt that way playing Manhunt.

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@LkNzinhu You've never wanted to shoot a dog while playing Manhunt? - Just kidding. I know what you meant. This is different though. There's an annoying dog in this game. =^)

Thanks for watching!

[kanesizer9]

Grand theft auto

Don't you find it twisted that your shooting humans?

Your a human.

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@kanesizer9 I do. Especially when you turn on an all weapons code and run around blasting the innocent citizens. That's messed up!!! =^)

[DanDog24]

What the duck?!?!

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@DanDog24 Exactly! LOL. Have you seen that video? It's called "Duck You."

Thanks for watching!

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@ALandPALS Don't read this tomorrow, because the best day of your life was when you kissed your toilet on next Friday. Then you died 143 minutes ago because you posted this comment on 5 spaceships. Or you're a cannibal. One of those two options.

[mrbiofan12]

The collage humor 1 was much better

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@mrbiofan12 A lot more movement though. We wanted to limit the movement of the ducks.

[mrbiofan12]

@TheAnimationEmpire Why you just didn't record real game play. Also the ending seems why to random

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@mrbiofan12 You mean cut to game play as they were playing? We actually didn't want to show gameplay or to have it look like the actual game. I think that's why College Humor took their video down.

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@TheAnimationEmpire They took it down because they couldn't get YT to publish ads on it because it was breaking copyrights too much (or had the appearance of breaking copyrights - in the legal world you lose if you get sued, even if you win the case, you still lose thousands or possibly millions on legal fees). So since it wasn't making College Humor any money, they took it down.

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@mrbiofan12 This is good feedback. Yeah, the ending is super random. We needed more "real" humor in it since the "humor" was so dry up to that point. I think the reason why we don't think it's too random is because the dog overheard them talking smack and fought back. It was a good way to end with a gag that required a tiny bit of animation. Another minimalist move. Thanks!

[mrbiofan12]

@TheAnimationEmpire Your Welcome

[Trimeno]

i don't get it i play grand theft auto and i kill peole in a game

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@Trimeno You're not a duck.

Thanks for watching!

[kikook222]

@Trimeno Think of it like this. Imagine you were a duck and you had to worry about a human killing you. Then you find your friend playing a game that involves shooting ducks.

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@kikook222 Sweet! Nice backup! Thanks! =^)

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@kikook222 That's a good point. Ducks have to try to not get killed by humans. So much so that we made a videogame about killing them. And then a duck is playing that videogame. That's the difference. Thanks!

[CWScott24]

could the second player really control the ducks??? i never new that

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@CWScott24 Yes. That's real. I used to do this exactly (hold to the left), and I wanted a fun way to tell people about it.

Thanks for watching!

- TAE

[phoenix43v3r123]

@TheAnimationEmpire wow didnt knew thanx

[AdGarUK]

I don't get why the green duck's so horrified at the purple duck playing Duck Hunt, I mean that's like me saying it's an abomination that people play Call of Duty and are shooting other people!!!

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@AdGarUK Sort of. More like you playing People Hunter 2010 and then a dog holds up your corpses after you shoot them. =^)

Thanks for watching!

TAE

[Tinopa2]

the green duck kinda sucks, all complainin about that, I never go that way if someone plays GTA XD,

anyway awesome video

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@Tinopa2 Thank you! What if a dog went around collecting your corpses? =^)

Thanks for watching!

- TAE

[rmsprowler]

this is freaking stupid. definitely not the caliber of college humor.

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@rmsprowler We wanted to just have them on the couch without much movement. Sort of a minimalist thing. Thanks for watching!

[Dreamerman509]

Ha! that was sweet! XD

[The6thClancy]

its funny because we have games about shooting our own race,

[chugar88]

lol mario beside couch

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@chugar88 Number of comments about the Mario doll - 13

Seriously I think that was like the smartest thing we did with this. =^)

[ladywey]

lol

[bio9831]

thumbs up if u saw mario!

[medleyaj01]

awesome AWESOME

[DefenitionBlack]

ducks shooting their own species? that's messed up. people would never do that lol

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@DefenitionBlack A little sarcastic, are we? =^)

Thanks for watching!

- TAE

[TheDoopliss2]

illfinish this episode "f***"

[TheAnimationEmpire]

@TheDoopliss2 Yeah, it's "What the FECES????"
