Duke

I've found that there's an affinity in my life for fictional characters who's name is Duke (or "The Duke").

I present two examples:

First, From "Moulin Rouge," possibly the greatest movie villain to come around in decades (And don't give me none of that Darth Vader crap). Every second this guy is on screen is a classic moment.



"I don't like this ending!"

"Oh look my dear! A little frog!"

"It's a little bit funny... this feeling insiiiiooooode."

Second, from the now defunct animated show "The Critic," Duke Phillips, multi-billionaire media industrialist, who built his empire out of a humble fried chicken hut.



"If I were you, little squirrel, I'd be hoarding my nuts. Winter's comin'!"

"Pretty kitty calico, you know that I love you so, with your fur so soft and fair, I would take you anywhere."

"I can do whatever I want! If I want Citizen Kane's last word to be 'schwing' then that's what it's gonna be!"

"That's it! I'll run for president! Drop a whole mess of bombs and put Merle Haggard on the Supreme Court!"

"Well, like most of America's cultural elite I worship Pan, the goat god."

"When I'm dead you can eat my brain, and it will give you power."

"Vote for Duke! Vote for Duke! Vote for Duke!..... VOTE FOR DUKE!!!"
