Tipsy Duck
is a writer, animator and game developer best known for his surreal, darkly humorous and often ominous SFM shorts. In April 2022, Tipsy released his first game
Are You Smarter Than The Crowd?, a quiz party game in the vein of
The Jackbox Party Pack series.
Tropes seen in TipsyDuck's work:
- Abusive Parents: The boy seen in the Cold Open of Child Coffins is slapped across the face by his mother for talking back at her, and he sadly remarks that she's "just like Dad".
- all lowercase letters: Tipsy quite likes to write titles like this, as seen with names like how to climb a tree, a funny and how to ride a bike.
- Black Comedy: Present by the bucketload in basically every video, though particular mention goes to Child Coffins, which turns the otherwise depressing topic of dead children into a parody of Totally Radical '90s advertisements, narrator and all.
Child: But Mom, if I don't go to school in a casket, all the other kids'll make fun of me!
Mother: Calm down Richard, this is America. You'll come out of there in one.
- Disproportionate Retribution: The main character of a funny mutilates a man into a bizarre, dog-like creature because he told him to be quiet during a movie. Then again, he is implied to be a sociopath...
- Fun with Acronyms: Mann Co. Training Video has PEE (Throwing Pee on People).note I don't think our acronym people know what an acronym is...
