Plot[]
A disclaimer announces that the episode is full "of heavy handed and over-obvious allegory." When a multicultural group of children task Duckman and Cornfed with finding their missing idol, the beautiful supermodel America, they interview her ex-boyfriends, representative of American life across four decades. Duckman becomes obsessed with locating her.
Notes[]
- America is an allegory for the United States of America, and her boyfriends represent life in the US in the 1950s, '60s, '70s and '80s. Duckman himself starts representing the '90s after hearing of America's (supposed) death.
- The poster of a voluptuous duck lady appeared before in "Not So Easy Riders"
- The episode's closing song is a parody of We Are the World.
- During the We Are There musical number, Charles and Mambo's voices are swapped throughout the whole sequence.
Music[]
- The cast of the episode sing the original song "We Are There".
