UNCLE DAVID
The Backyard Prophet
Uncle David is the Duckiverse’s good-hearted backyard philosopher.
He means well, loves his BBQ, and always has a story or theory that may or may not make sense. He secretly loves going with wife to Kohl's.
Equal parts entertaining and confusing, he’s everyone’s favorite uncle who somehow knows a guy who knows a guy.
Catchphrases:
-
“How ya been bud? This weather is something else.”
-
“Well shoot, that’s probably good enough.”
UNCLE DAVID
Class: Griller of Meats / Patriotic Yeller
Origin Story (Bio):
Uncle David was born with a beer in one hand and a backyard grill in the other—or at least that’s how he tells it at family cookouts. Once a wild man with a mullet and a temper, Uncle David found redemption not in therapy, but in the fizzy embrace of Mountain Dew. He quit drinking years ago, but still slams Dews with the reverence of a whiskey priest. Calls it “the nectar of the gods” and drinks six a day “to stay sharp.”
He drives a red F-150 with a bald eagle air freshener, votes in every election like it's a game show, and has a complicated love-hate relationship with Kohl’s (he’ll never admit he buys all his cargo shorts there). Still wears a Livestrong bracelet. Thinks Fox Sparrow is “that dang poet raccoon.”
Though he doesn’t always get what the kids are talking about, he means well. He’s the kind of guy who’ll help you move a couch, yell at the news, and give surprisingly good advice when you least expect it—usually in the form of sports metaphors.
He calls everyone “bud,” even his wife. He’s been banned from three national parks for illegal fireworks.

🇺🇸 UNCLE DAVID’S FAVORITES
🎵 Favorite Song:
“Sweet Home Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd
He blasts it on the grill. Doesn’t know all the words. Still yells them. If you bring up the lyrics’ meaning, he’ll tell you to “lighten up, it’s just a good jam.”
🎬 Favorite Film:
Forrest Gump
Says it’s the greatest movie ever made. Cries every time Jenny leaves. Quotes it constantly—but only the football parts.
📖 Favorite Book:
“Killing Lincoln” by Bill O’Reilly
He never finished it. Claims he did. Recommends it to everyone. Uses it as a coaster for his Coors Light, but with reverence.
Favorite Food: Mountain Dew–glazed brisket
Bonus Detail: He swears it’s his original recipe. It’s not.
