Donald Duck is having a milestone year, as the Disney animated icon is celebrating 90 years in show business. And what better way to keep yourself relevant in popular culture after nine decades than by going on the massively popular YouTube series, Hot Ones? Donald appears on the First We Feast YouTube sensation, seeing how much composure he can keep eating one spicy cauliflower bite after another. (No, they aren’t chicken wings. Donald’s not a cannibal.) Will he fare as well as Pedro Pascal did as a Hot Ones guest? Or Tom Holland? You can check out Donald Duck’s full appearance on Hot Ones right here and find out.
The folks at Hot Ones curated a special Disney Villains-themed line of hot sauces for Donald to sample during the interview, making sure he felt right at home. Well, mostly villains; there were five Disney character hot sauces in total, including Queen of Roasted Hearts, the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland’s very own brand, and Powerline Shock Sauce, a tribute to the musical icon from A Goofy Movie. Then there’s Maleficent’s Fury, Cherna Bar-B-Q, the Fantasia demon Chernabog’s own flavor, and Straight out of Hades, something fans of Disney’s Hercules should love. We’re so glad Daisy Duck convinced our boy Donald to go on the show.
Honestly, Donald seems more annoyed at watching random celebrities trying to imitate his voice while a guest on Hot Ones. Certainly more than anything he ate. Actually, we don’t blame him. Imitating Donald Duck is a skill everyone seems to think they have, but few actually do. Luckily, Donald has an Emotional Support Mouse waiting offstage by the name of Mickey when he starts blowing his top. Maybe Mickey Mouse would fare better on Hot Ones than his temperamental friend. Oh, and has anyone tried to book Daffy Duck on the show yet? We have a feeling he’d be even harder to wrangle than his Disney rival.
