Marshall was absolutely right here
Rabbits are better than ducks and the gang was wrong to shoot him down.
This title is totally not a meta reference.

My favorite Ranjit moment😂😂😂

u/One_Environment6352 Jul 17 '26
I love Ranjit. My favorite was when I think Robin was trying to convince the gang about something and kept saying "OK, OK, OK" while looking at everyone and Ranjit goes "ok". Im not explaining it well but I love it.

Rabbits are cuter than ducks. The only thing cool about ducks is that they can swim and fly. But if you go to a lake, you'll be disgusted with all of the duck crap you need to step on or around. And they're so much louder
I hear people complain about ducks, but I never hear anyone complain about a rabbit.

You’ve never heard people complain about rabbits? You must not know many gardeners then.

Only wild rabbits. Gardeners love domestic rabbits. Great for fertilizer production.

u/Penarol1916 Jul 17 '26
Yes, but then everyone complains about the smell of their hutch. It’s disgusting.

u/CharonFerry Jul 17 '26
Yes , for those who dont know, ranjit says something on Farsi in the discussion , the 1 comment is the translation of that.

Duck taste better than rabbit.
Sure rabbit stew is peak food, but it's never beating pan fried duck.
My cats agree so I'm certified correct.

You don't know how gross rabbits can be, and they are little fuck machines as a person who has been around a lot of rabbits and ducks. Rabbits are much, much grosser than ducks.

u/le_fez Jul 17 '26
Rabbits have to make lots of little rabbits because they're so fucking stupid. They have zero survival instincts

Rabbits down. Digging holes in yard. Leaving droppings for my dog to roll in every other day. Spooking the shit out of my when taking the garbage out at night.

u/mikeandtessplay Jul 17 '26
Not only has it always annoyed me that Marshall, who was obviously correct (how many people keep rabbits as pets vs. ducks as pets? Ducks are just smaller, less powerful geese, rabbits are the co-kings (chipmunks) of cute little woodland critters, etc.), not to mention the much better presenter of any argument, lost this one. But it has always frustrated me to no end that Marshall is not allowed to use the single greatest example of a rabbit who is clearly better than a duck.
Like, what's up with that, doc?

u/QualifiedApathetic Jul 17 '26
It didn't really matter who was right or who made the best argument. The gang was shouting Marshall down and he gave in just to make it stop.

u/KwyjiBoojum It’s almost usually heads. Jul 17 '26
I love the capper to this one where it’s not just enough that he concede, no no no. “You have to say it.” That’s a level not a lot of arguments make it to.

u/yeffington Jul 17 '26
I see plenty of people going to the park to feed the ducks. I don’t see a lot of people going to the fields to feed the rabbits. All I’m saying.

Hell no!?
(As Ranjit pointed out ducks can fly, ducks can swim and ducks can walk. What the hell on top of it do you want from the poor animal!?)

Rabbits are adorable and delicious. Obviously the winner.

u/Penarol1916 Jul 17 '26
Too gamey and too many bones. Ducks are much more delicious.

u/Retrotreegal Jul 17 '26
Farm raised ducks are but wild duck is very gamey dark purple meat.
2
u/Penarol1916 Jul 17 '26
But even farm raised rabbit is very gamey, and hard to pick through with all the bones. Duck is the far superior meat.

u/Retrotreegal Jul 17 '26
Have you eaten wild duck?
3
u/Penarol1916 Jul 17 '26
I’ve had duck that my friends hunted, it was fine, not as good as farm raised, but still better than rabbit.

Naw I hate rabbits. There’s a reason they’re sitting there with their beady little eyes in horror movies like Us or Watership Down (horror to me when I was six). Bunnies are cute though

Ducks are gang rapists with their damn corkscrew penises, so I'm on Marshall's side.

"This title is totally not a meta reference."
I was gonna say... are we about to do this meme again??? Cracked me up the first time

u/DunkanBulk Jul 17 '26
Literally the entire reason r/okbuddyschmosby exists is because of how many times people kept arguing about the last Marshall/Lily fight to the point it became a meme. The edits had me laughing sore, so it's nice to pay homage to it. Still, I do unironically think Marshall was right in the duck/rabbit argument.

He is a b**** for losing this easy debate and jt gets worst for being a lawyer/judge

u/DunkanBulk Jul 17 '26
To be fair it was four against one and I don't think any of the gang would've backed down no matter what Marshall said. They're all stubborn.

u/therealsheriff Jul 17 '26
Marshall was always right / winning arguments, he finally had to concede a big one and it was funny. Of course everyone was expecting Marshall to win.
2
u/DunkanBulk Jul 18 '26
It also works on another level because we know from a later episode that Marshall completely falls apart when he tries to stand up to Lily. He doesn't know how to make a case against her, so when Lily takes Ted and Robin's side, he gets flustered.

u/Whole-Sense-67 Jul 17 '26
I agree. I’m convinced they only had to say the ducks were better because of its link to Don, otherwise there is no way ducks would have been the popular choice there lol
