Scientifically accurate DuckTales. (SLYT, NSFW)
On the one hand, this broke my brain. On the other hand, I would watch the shit out of this show.
On the third hand, this provides names for like fifty future rock bands.

Although cannibalism can begin in ducks of any age, ducklings over 4 weeks old are more prone to develop this vice. The underlying reasons for birds turning to cannibalism are not known, but it is associated with boredom and is aggravated by:Courtesy of the government of New South Wales.
overcrowding
lack of ventilation
faulty nutrition.
The only known way to stop it is to remove the rim at the front of the bird’s upper bill. Commercial beak-trimming machines are available. They have heated cauterising blades and run on electricity or butane gas. Beak trimming should be performed only by a competent operator and only when it is essential to reduce damage and suffering in the flock.

I once broke up a mallard gang rape in Boston's Public Garden. A group of about eight male mallards had a female pinned down and she was making a terrible noise. There was a crowd of people and ducks gathered around watching it, but without thinking I rushed in and scattered the assailants. The female shot off towards the Common with a couple of males in pursuit. I didn't know about ducks' proclivities until I got home and read about it-- if I had, I probably wouldn't have interfered.
A few years later, my daughter was born-- like any proper child of Boston, one of the first gifts she received was a copy of Make Way for Duckings. I must have read it a hundred times when I was a kid, but it's just not the same anymore.

I don't know about the whole "duck rape" thing. It feels very jokey jokey here, and the word "rape" is not a good one when discussing animal sexuality, which is often so different from human sexuality as to be genuinely alien. I am not even sure how we might discuss the subject of rape when it comes to many animals, for whom "consent" is not a meaningful term.
The phrase used in evolutionary biology is, apparently, sexual coercion. And I personally think there is something awful about the fact that there is so much of it in the animal kingdom, but this is consistent with what I feel about so much of the animal kingdom, which is, after all, red in tooth and claw and all that.
In this instance, I feel like the video is superimposing the term "rape" onto an animal not for greater precision in describing the event (unlike, say, Isabella Rossellini's investigation into insect sex, which feels like an honest attempt to visit the ways in which nonhumans procreate), but instead as a way of making yet another goddamn rape joke.

It could be argued that it's my responsibility to see if anyone else has said a bit before, but the implications of that are exhausting. I don't have a television, and write without vetting. The opposite would probably demoralize me until it killed my creativity.
Besides, my bosses are FOX broadcasting, and if they didn't catch it, it's possibly not on most people's radar.

(I'm not really sure what it's going to be, aside from Axe Cop (which ruled) and High School USA (which was pretty good, but I suspect will rule as well once I get more into the rhythm, as Dino's stuff is usually King Awesome).
Also, do you know if they'll put up credits on these? There have been some really good ones, and some stuff where I've wondered who the animators are -- some of it has looked a lot like Christy Karacas, but I've wondered if it's him, or if I'm just bad at recognizing styles or what...

Chickens aren't much better when it comes to sex. Last summer I ended up with too many roosters for the number of hens. Poor things. I had to separate them because of the injuries. At least ducks don't have pointy beaks and claws to draw blood and cut with....

'You couldn't really do that' is a thought that plenty of pedantic people like myself have every time they see Scrooge McDuck's dive-- so I thought that was the funniest bit in the clip. I don't think you should feel bummed-- it was relevant to the theme and played on a notion that lots of people have had for a long time. The whole piece is quite good!

I don't mean to pick on you; if any of the following seems harsh, it is because I envy you. Keep that in mind.
A couple things:
1. If you work in television, you should probably care enough about it to own one. And if you're making goofy cartoons for stoners (which is what ADHD -- terrible name, btw -- seems to be), there's really no excuse for not knowing Family Guy inside and out. Ditto American Dad, South Park, Adult Swim, and anything with H. Jon Benjamin in it.
2. No, the gag isn't on "most people's" radar, but it's certainly on the radar of regular Family Guy viewers, which is presumably the demographic the ADHD block (really, truly awful name) is aimed at. Fox sneak previewed ADHD (shitty name, incidentally) in its Sunday lineup (home of Family Guy) for exactly that purpose, and Family Guy has run in Cartoon Network's Adult Swim -- which ADHD (seriously, I hate that name; it's a real thing, I have it, and it sucks; might as well call it psoriasis) is rather transparently aping -- for years and years now.

They aren't going to air the shorts during the TV block -- at least, that's not the plan right now. They were more interested in letting me write whatever I wanted in whatever style, without fear of broadcast censorship.
So, I've written almost all of the shorts on the channel. A large number of them are my voices, too; that vulgar and hopeless Pokemon one is me doing multiple voices on like Ash, Pikachu, etc. The ones that have credits (Egoraptor, Sick Animation) are the guest slots.
I did not name the block. It was created by Nick Widenfeld and Hend Baghdady and Ben Jones. I was hired as a consultant last year to work on Golan the Insatiable, and pitched Illuminati Rock. They liked it enough to give me an entire division.
For the first Scientifically Accurate short (Spider-Man), I did provide citations because I thought it was funny to release a short with a bibliography. You can see it in the info section on YouTube. But we forgot to do it for TMNT, so we haven't done it since.
There aren't credits for any of the work that the shorts team does by design, but Sean Solomon, Matt Marblo, and Sean Glaze are frequent collaborators, as is the aforementioned Ben Jones.
Finally, I do not think I need to own a television in order to be a writer of internet shorts. I think it's probably more important for me to own a computer and frequent Reddit.
