Forbidden Fruit is the second episde off season 3 and the fourth appearance of King Chicken.
Plot[]
Duckman is slapped with a sexual harassment charge by the French nanny that Bernice has hired to tutor the boys and it goes viral as the news quickly spreads. It seems the nanny isn't who she appears to be. In search of solitude Duckman moves in with Fluffy and Uranus; even they reach their breaking point with him.
Meanwhile, the Regine Poulet Society goes on a massive political correctness spree. First they have a berry genetically created similar to Boysenberries called Girlsenberries, the name of the Hebrew language is renamed "Webrew", and they get a constructor worker arrested for simply referring to the sewer system as a manhole.
Notes[]
- This is the first time we see Fluffy and Uranus get angry at Duckman (or anybody), and it is the only episode where they swear.
- It is revealed which of the stuffed bears is Fluffy (pink) and Uranus (light blue) after addressing each other by their names.
- King Chicken's name while disguised as the french nanny is "Regine Poulet", which translates to "King Chicken."
- This episode is very similar to the Simpsons episode Homer Badman which aired 2 years earlier. Sexual harrasment was a very popular topic at the time. Other cartoons to discuss the topic at the time were Pinky and the Brain, King of the Hill and South Park.
- Duckman crushes Fluffy and Uranus' Sean Cassidy record.
Continuity[]
- In this episode and the episode Gland of Opportunity, it is suggested that Charles, Mambo and Ajax attend the same school. However all other episodes establish that they attend two different schools, Mid-City High and Mid-City Jr. High
