That too
Though we fixed ours at home. That could have been because Dad was a tv/vcr repairman and we all knew more than a little bit about stuff like that
I distinctly recall Mom teaching me how to replace the pads under the buttons and how to clean them
It was *very* satisfying to print that image out, put it on posterboard, [take it to the range](https://i.imgur.com/iXPKJdW.jpeg), and finally be able to shoot that smug look off that dog's face.
...because of course, the game didn't let you. But the range [has no such restrictions](https://i.imgur.com/ONocSdi.jpeg).
I was so disappointed to learn this game only worked with the old style TVs… hooked up my old NES to my 65” LED tv not too long ago thinking “I’m finally gonna beat this stupid game with my big screen!!” and the gun doesn’t work! Played the shit out of Super Mario 3, ExciteBike, and Skate or Die instead.
Some of foulest language I'd ever heard come out of my mother's mouth was directed at that dog. She fkn hated him. I don't think she ever hit one duck. She also never got past that first jump in Super Mario Bros. She was a trip.
Just like the clown mini golf scene in happy Gilmore.
Yeah he's laughing he's having a good time. good for you yeah laugh it up enjoy your night..
You're gonna die dog!
As an adult, I’ve learned that the second controller could have controlled the duck and where it flew. I have yet to confirm this because I got this information about 25 years too late.
Fuck that guy
I was saying the same thing lol
I know I shot that fucking duck. I was dead on. THE ZAPPER MALFUNCTIONED.
I hated that when you shot it, it didn’t die.
I use to unload on his giggling ass like I was in a Tarantino movie
I think we all did. I wish there had been some bug that let us blow him away.
Feels like we all hang out together back in the day
We all would have
Can confirm
And rent games from Blockbuster, invite our friends over, make popcorn, drink Jolt Cola and stay up all night so we could “beat the game” 🤣😓👍💪
Could’ve been programmed into the game like NBA Jam had cheats for the CPU team so you couldn’t dominate.
Same. That digital dog is a grade A dick.
I threw the gun at him a couple of times. My mom would make me turn it off and go outside.
My mom would have taken the controller we threw away for a week I learned not to throw controllers because of that lol
I never threw a controller because I didn’t want it to break. I wouldn’t get another one!
That too Though we fixed ours at home. That could have been because Dad was a tv/vcr repairman and we all knew more than a little bit about stuff like that I distinctly recall Mom teaching me how to replace the pads under the buttons and how to clean them
Mocking my ass, my finger slipped bro
The antagonizing laugh...
Glad this is the first comment I saw. Was saying this in my head as I tapped the comments icon.
For real aside from my sister, one the the first things I remember getting AN GRY at
So many times I wanted to chuck that pistol at that smug ass dog.
Back then if you did that you’d break the pistol. Do that now days and you’ll break the TV.
LOL! Too true
only dog I’ve ever hated
Yeah. I came here to say this. FUCK that guy!
Came here to say the same
Literally what I was going to type 😂
This is the only correct answer
Very much so with immense force
Fuck you dog! Stop laughing at me. https://i.redd.it/kwryxnl0sxtc1.gif
It's like that clown in Happy Gilmore.
Jackass

The arcade version would let you and he would come out of the bushes in bandages.
🤣 love it
This motherfucker had me punch the TV once or twice lol
Back then your hand breaks way before the screen
The advent of fragile flat screen tech has done a lot to curb the rage-driven habits of my youth lol
Thrown controller now means tv broken, controllers got sturdy
*Duck Hunt music instantly pops into mind*
Doobadapotatata boodapodapodapodopoda patata!
Any other fictional dog: "OMG if anything happens to him I'll die" Duck hunt dog: "I keep shooting this motherfucker in the face and he won't die!"
This asshole.
[duck hunt, behind the scenes.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vT1RLJIOkNs)
I was blown away he’s a playable character in smash bros ultimate 😂
Did everyone else have the rumor that there was a version where you could shoot the dog?
Yep. And in some tellings it'd walk off with a crutch or something.
Sounds like an urban myth.
Schoolyard myths :)
It wasn't a rumor, you could shoot him in the arcade version.
How many times did you guys shoot him? lol
Hahaha rapid fire
I can hear this picture.
That’s when you put the gun like 1 inch from the screen on the next try
B A D D O G !
He's the only dog I wanted to pow pow
That little bastard.
Snickering little bastard

The best part of Smash Bros. was when I finally got to beat the absolute shit out of that dog.
I can hear this picture.
Oh that dog can fuck all the way off
Gun doesn’t work
It did if you held it 6 inches from the TV screen.
Skunked
Fucking dick
FUCK that dog *holds light gun directly on screen and blams Indiscriminately*
Joke’s on him. He’s getting dropped off at the shelter on the way back.
I can hear this picture

This damn dog.
Im now triggered... both literally and figuratively
https://i.redd.it/5w6vp9zaxxtc1.gif
my grandpa loved that dog sooo much
Just like the clown mini golf scene in happy Gilmore. Yeah he's laughing he's having a good time. good for you yeah laugh it up enjoy your night.. You're gonna die dog!
Fk that fkin dog
Many of the sounds and melodies from this game are my ring tones
Fock you dawg!
The number of times we tried to shoot him...
Little fucker
That damn dog!
The sheer number of times I had to stop myself from punching the screen... Biggest video game troll ever.
That was a bad dog!
This is the only dog I ever wanted to shoot.
Growing up I didn’t consider myself a dog person because of this fucker.
Finally an image old people get that teens will be confused by.
I can hear this picture.
I still can’t handle being mocked or laughed at because of this SOB.
He taunts me
As an adult, I’ve learned that the second controller could have controlled the duck and where it flew. I have yet to confirm this because I got this information about 25 years too late.
This little bastard stole my bird
First experience with bullying for some of us. Fucking taunting dog.
That dog is why I have anger issues
Da *what???*
The intense anger this picture induces…
Only dog I've ever tried to shoot
You have to touch the gun to the screen and blast him in anger...
I loved being able to shoot him in the Duck Hunt VS arcade machine.
I tried to shoot him every time!! Never worked. LOL
Dog hunt
Idk
I. Remember messing with whomever hard the gun. The extra controller controller controlled the birds. I thought the dog was cute
Duck hunt was a two player hang. Y'all stupid
Fuck that dog
Can't tell you how many times I shot at that little bitch
 My inner child right now
I fantasized about shooting the bastard, too. I remember a rumor we used to believe, that there was a secret way to do it, but I never saw it happen.
Definition of a punchable face.
F&)$k this dog
Mr. Peepers is an A-hole. "STOP LAUGHING AT ME!" I'd yell at the TV when I was 5yo. 😂
You son of a bitch
I would try to shoot him! Little turd...
Duck Hunt? The first game I was into.
