The Duck Song

A children's song about a duck who walks up to a lemonade stand and asks, repeatedly, for grapes. Written by Bryant Oden with animation by forrestfire101, it took nearly 90 million views within three years and ran to a fifth part before finishing in October 2024. The record's entry for a joke told to the same rhythm fifteen times.

The series closed with Part 5 in October 2024, fifteen years after the first. Survived by everyone who can still say the grapes line in the correct duck voice.

Quoted by adults in the mid-2010s as a shorthand for asking the same question until someone gives in, usually in a work context, usually about a deadline.

Definition @archive_dot_org · Archivist 20 May 2010

The comedy is structural. The same exchange repeats with one word changed, and the escalation does all the work — a format children recognise before they can name it.
