My Donald Duck isn’t very good, but how I do it is by forcing air through one cheek, which vibrates.

I always wondered if talking like Donald Duck would be an option for someone without vocal cords.

My husband says he sticks his tongue in his cheek. He’s frighteningly good at it.

Yeah. There is something slightly frightening about it, when someone gets it right.

I find the people who don’t do good Donald Duck impressions are actually doing brilliant Yakky Doodle impressions.

Sailor hat. Blue jacket. No pants.

Yellow clogs optional.

When’s the next Dopefest?

The best/creepiest ones are the ones that can immitate Donald when he is having one of his mental breakdowns/tantrums.

I do a pretty good one. All of my neices and nephews think it’s the coolest thing since sliced bread.

As for how…I’m not sure I can fully explain it…but it mainly comes from trying to imitate a hunting duck call and then vocalizing that. My Donald singing “Jinging Bells” is always a hit at Christmas.

I may have an audio clip somewhere from a radio show in which Donald Duck has an orgasm. It’s hilarious in that voice.

I recall one on the internet years ago where Donald is asking “who’s your daddy?” that eventually ends in a big finish so to speak.

…are among the most annoying people on the planet.

Almost as bad as people who can do really good Popeye impressions.
