Voted No. 46 on Jerry Beck's The 50 Greatest Cartoons, Quasi at the Quackadero is a 1975 animated cartoon by Sally Cruikshank.
The short revolves around "ducks" named Quasi and Anita (the latter played by Cruikshank herself), and their pet robot Rollo as they visit the Quackadero, a strange place where the amusements revolve around time travel. Among the mad things that happen are an apparently fabricated "shining moment", five actors faking being past lives of Quasi, and the trio having their thoughts painted.
Yeah, it's that kind of cartoon.
The entire cartoon, posted by Cruikshank herself to YouTube, can be seen embedded to the right.
Tropes used in Quasi at the Quackadero include:
- Call a Smeerp a Rabbit: You wouldn't know those were ducks if you weren't told so.
- Four-Fingered Hands/Feather Fingers: The cartoon's aversion of the former and use of the latter doesn't help, either.
- Elmer Fudd Syndrome: Anita seems to have a mild case of this.
- Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Quasi.
- Nipple-and-Dimed: Averted in the part of the "Shining Moment" scene where the duck walks into the room as a naked female duck, with her nipples in plain view.
- Offstage Villainy: Quasi is described throughout the short as "bad", but there is no evidence to back this up beyond him being lazy and being a bit of a Jerkass.
