Here Are Some Cute Ducks Trying To Use An Escalator

Ducks, don’t try to use escalators, ok? And humans, follow the same advice. Except you, you sexy spinning escalator girl you. You can use the escalator at any time. [Dark Roasted Blend—Thanks Daffy]

    Oh no!

    This doesn’t work!

    Now that I know this video exists, I really really really have to see these ducks.

    Is there anywhere else I can find it? (I already searched ‘ducks elevator’ in YouTube)

    • Flame

      @jess: It’s an escalator, not an elevator. Seems there’s only that one clip on Youtube.

  • CameraShoe_GitEmSteveDave

    @Geisrud: What other way could these birds get to the top? Maybe we could give them some Red Bull, because I hear it gives you wings.

  • CameraShoe_GitEmSteveDave

    @iceicemaybe: I hope it's not the inner PETA. We don't want them killed and kept in the freezer at PETA HQ.

    @Curves: i still run up the down elevator at my ocal holyoke/ingleside mall.. i'm 23.

    Ducks are way good when fried in butter and jerk seasoning. Try it. If I were there I would've "liberated" one or two.

  • shorty63136

    @iceicemaybe: I found it frustrating. I just wanted somebody to grab a maintenance guy and hurry up and turn the escalator off so they could get up the steps.

    But at least you have the decency to be ashamed about it.

  • TheGuinnessTooth

    I love ducks, cute & tasty.

  • JRock

    @Curves: I wasn't tossed out, but I got a stern lecture from a security guard when I was running up the down escalator (I think it might've been the Smithsonian while I was a teen, too) - he grabbed me by the arm near the top and yanked me up. Scared the crap outta me.

  • Fierock

    @iceicemaybe: I had that though too, poor ducks they're probably thinking (if that is possible) "OMG don't get near the humans, they'll eat us!! Quack!"

  • Acemonster

    @Geisrud:

    You can tell your inner PETA that Duck goes well with a chardonnay reduction. MMmmmMmMmmm

  • bigrig

    Ducks eat for free at Subway, which I can only assume is on the second floor.

  • dirtybacon

    @dirtybacon: Man, there's not a year goes by- NOT A YEAR -that I don't read about some escalator accident involving some bastard duck that could've easily been avoided had some parent - I don't care which one - but some parent, conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator!

  • Geisrud

    @Hello Mister Walrus: Cause the stairs are too much work, and taking the elevator just seems lazy. Taking an escalator is a happy medium

  • dirtybacon

    That duck is BACK on the escalator!!

  • costanza007

    at least the Peabody ducks are smart enough to use the elevator

    Is there a shortage of good dark meat nowadays that we feel like we need to expedite the process?

  • closhedbb

    @frigg: Hey, can you blame them? They got bills to pay.

    It's what's for dinner.

  • 32ndnote

    @Curves: My guess is it was probably due to the fact that you were 15 and breathing... I always laugh when I see the mall cops trying to keep all the middle/high school kids in line in front of the movie theater on Friday night.

  • closhedbb

    @Amir Oulad: Simple, you grow up in suburbia, and despite your best efforts, you fall into the same day to day grind your parents did, living in the same "American Dream" neighborhood with 4th of July picnics and the occasional gossip of adultery. one day you have a simple "to do" list that sends you out into the well-kempt facade of mediocrity, and without realizing it, you find yourself in the middle of the local mall, riding the escalator, 30 years later, surrounded by people who seem to be more adept at covering the pain than you.

    That's when you either try to distract yourself on the escalator, or sit on a bench outside the over-priced Footlocker, and weep.

    Everyone needs to watch the video straight through to the end. It's like a duckapocalypse!!

  • mikeness

    @Curves: Imagine if you were going up the down escalator whilst proclaiming the finer points of creationism.

  • Hello Mister Walrus

    @Geisrud: I want to know why the ducks decided to get on the escalator in the first place.

    @Amir Oulad: My thoughts exactly! WTF.

    @iceicemaybe:
    I agree. This is cruel. What if the get hooked with the top escalator teeth? This is evil.

  • LastVigilante

    @Chewbenator: It was a duck avalanche! The video cut out at the exact moment everyone was buried under tons of duck. There were many casualties. Cute, cuddly casualties.

  • Geisrud

    @iceicemaybe: Not depressing at all.

    No one is making them do that. If they thought really hard about it, they could probably come up with another way of getting to the top of the escalator (I won't spoil it for you; you can figure it out all by yourself too!)

  • Curves

    @Amir Oulad: Seriously thrown out, and I think it was more due to the fact that I was disturbing his nap than actual escalator rules.

    (Steal? ME?? Nope. I may be a lot of things, but a thief isnt one, nor a liar either, much to the credit of my upbringing and conscience.)

  • Dabamash

    @iceicemaybe: I agree. Idiots. I would use it as an excuse to press the red STOP button that has enticed me all these years.

    The need to be taught to fear and respect that escalator!

    @dandaman247: What the duck?!

  • Hello Mister Walrus

    Stupid ducks. Why can't you be like dogs and take the subway? [choppythedog.blogspot.com]

    Hello Mister Walrus

  • nonpareil

    @iceicemaybe: I'm with you. Of course, rather than call the guard and hit the emergency stop on the elevator, everyone is just crowded around snapping video. Ah well, people.

  • Russell Lynn

    Are they evil ducks? Because if they are I can see movie possibilities. We already had Snakes on a Plane, now we have "Ducks on an Escalator!"

    I'm sick and tired of all these Mutherf$#@*!n Ducks on this Mutherf#*%($g Escalator!

    Russell Lynn

  • Gaucho85

    were they throwing the ducks down at the end?

  • frigg

    First ducks jumping off buildings into pools and now this. The things a duck'll do just to get hits on Youtube.

  • Amir Oulad

    How the hell did they end up in a mall ?

  • Amir Oulad

    @Curves:

    Seriously thrown out ?!
    Talk about overreacting, are you sure you didn't break or steal something?

  • decapitor

    That could have turned into a bloody mess if any of them got caught in the teeth of the escalator.

  • Chewbenator

    What the crap happened at the end? There were ducks everywhere!

  • TerryinSt.Paul

    Stupid ducks. Every duck knows you take elevators not escalators.

  • Geisrud

    It pains me to see the local wildlife sink to the same levels of stupidity of the 13 year-olds that do this at the malls.

  • iceicemaybe

    Am I the only one that thinks this is horribly depressing to watch? :(
    Of course the ducks won't go near the people, but they can't exactly get up the escalator either.
    Perhaps it's my inner PETA (but really I hate them so).

  • triggerx

    man, those ducks are stupid.

  • Geph_knows_more

    These ducks are quacking me up!

  • Curves

    Talk about getting nowhere, fast. Good thing they are ducks. I was tossed out of the Smithsonian (when I was 15) for going UP the DOWN escalator. Security guards have no sense of humor.

    @CelfDestruk: Hot Duck on a Stick.

  • dandaman247

    wtf?

    OMG, that's Hilarious. . . . Wonder which restaurant in the Mall did they escape from?!!?

    Hey, ducks are susceptible to obesity these days too! Don't blame them for trying to get some exercise!!
