Back in the 90s we(Jeep guys) just waved to each other. I'm glad I switched over to a 4runner.
I bought a Wrangler 4 yrs ago after having one in the 90’s like you. Didn’t know this was a thing until I came out after shopping about a week from owning it. 2 Ducks. Right on the hood. Asked a guy at work that has one and explained.
I now have a sticker on my Jeep saying “No Ducks Given, No Ducks Taken”.
That seem to stop that.
Jeeps are cute. Barbie has one.
If you want to go into the wilderness, buy a Jeep.
If you want to come back, buy a 4 Runner.
I had a jku that I lifted and made alot of aftermarket upgrades. I'm glad I sold it and got out of jeeps before this.
I sold my 65 CJ5 'cause I got tired of idiots waving at me.
Back in the 60s & 70s... waved...
I have a truck but someone gave me a duck for my truck😂 i wish i would get lots more of them i love the rubber duckies😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
I got ducked today but my husband thought I was getting drugged for human trafficking and tossed my duck out the window 🙄
😂😂😂😂😂😂this is not funny but i cant help but to laugh🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ well atleast u knw he truly cares 🤣🤣👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Making jeeps uncool for 3 years
It only recently got big in my area... I'm about to put my tj on the road again and I'm not looking forward to this childish trend...
Okay Scrooge and I'm 66 and had so many Jeeps I can't remember all of them my first is 78 golden eagle you have to have a kid at heart and not be a kin or a Karen
@@mickeybarton9077 just because you owned jeeps, dosent mean you were automatically cool... if anything thinking you were or are cool because you have the same thing as other people makes you less cool. I bought a wrangler 4.0 because it's a tough, well built, easy to work on, and it has a huge aftermarket scene with tons of options to add on.. Not to be part of a rubber duckie giggle party. There's a difference between being a Karen and not wanting to be part of a dumb fad of rubber toys made by child labor in china. 🤷♂️ if that's cool I want no part of it.
the first time I got duck i was angry. It was a clown. I was like who calling me a clown, Then I got ducked again. Someone explained the game. I now have over 300 ducks. I have ordered tags. I have made my own. I spent last week ducking pink ducks with breast cancer ribbons. This week I am giving halloween ducks. I have put inspirational stickers on the back of my tags. I get so excited when I see a jeep. I was on the phone with my son. I was driving on the express. My son, said just throw him one mom. Iove this jeep ducking
I had my custom tricked out Jeep ducked for the first time. I almost cried as it's cool someone thought my jeep is cool. 4 years to rebuild and bring back to life, it's my baby and it's really pretty cool, well I thought to just me but someone cared enough to duck me. Thank you anonymous caring stranger. 🐥 🇺🇦 💙💛
@@bigpop-popsmurf awwwwww , ain't that special ! Where you live, Komifornia the Land of Fruits and Nuts ? Buwahahahaha, Roflmfao. Oh wait ! Let me guess ! LGBTQ Empire member ! Lmao Go ahead Smurf, de masculinization is running rampant and now the Jeep community has been attacked. I thank God I still ride a Harley besides my Jeep.
We used to just wave to each other as we passed and that was more than enough. 😎
Better to buy a bag of ducks than the alternative 😆
It was happening long before 2020. We were getting gucked in the early 2000's...
Yeah I don't know why everyone is claiming this is new.
I've only had a few ducks put on my 2016 Sahara JK 2dr.I would rather be ducked than some freak even touching my Jeep to put a disgusting rainbow whatever on it ! I tell you what.
No other vehicle has this level of camaraderie. For the record, what you should do is take a picture, share it, and hold onto the duck until you spot a comrade Jeep you want to duck. Then you place said duck on that Jeep and carry on. You can also have a bag of fresh ducks and keep spreading it around.
amen brother form an another jeep owner
Does it matter what kind of Jeep or only Wranglers?
Y’all need to get over yalls selves 💀 it’s just a jeep..
Bahhahaha losers
Got Ducked today 🦆
Love this idea!!! Had a Jeep pick-up for years and raced it off roads!
I got ducked today! ❤ plan on returning the kindness. 🦆
I got ducked for the first and only time last year on a stock rubicon. Had no idea what it was about!
I had one of my managers at my current job tell me she thought someone was ducking me and after my shift, found it to be true
We're into this "trend" long enough now that there's a silver lining. If you have an older Jeep, and you don't have any stupid ducks on your dash, then you probably won't get any.
We didn't get a present for Christmas did we
I'm upset, I've never gotten a duck. But, I'm going to have to pick some up because I've seen some cool jeeps
Oh lol I ducked my cousin's home in 2018 when she had me stay. I thought it was my little thing? I've left them all over as I travel.
You meet the nicest people in JEEPs.
!
I think most people just buy their own ducks at this point
Us Jeepsters are a very different breed 🙃 🐥
Yes, a breed I avoid.
@@Incomudro1963 You seem pleasant
@@tiffanyshanley1419 As long as I'm away from Jeep people.
You waste a lot of money on useless stuff.
I would've thought this had been going on a lot longer. I didn't find out about it until my cousin bought a jeep. Now I see jeeps with dozens of ducks on the dash. Very cool thing to do!
This so great 💜
I love it!❤
I don’t even own a Jeep but every time I go camping in my RV, I get ducked at the campground?
How inclusive! 😂
They want ur booty
I learned about the Jeep Wave from the salesman who sold me my Jeep. But I had no idea about this duck thing. One day I found a rubber duck in my door handle. “Nice Jeep,” written on it. Until wasn’t until later than I learned about the ducks. My duck has an eye patch, so I call him my pirate duck.
Next they're going to start ducking mini vans.
I just bought a jeep wrangler about three weeks ago and my husband was the one that told me about the ducks. I went online and bought a bag album.They just got here today. I've got a on my dash and ready to hand them out
Please keep your Rubber Duckies off my Jeep ! I'm a long time Jeep owner and I hate the angry eyes grills, ducks, themes and color schemes of Amazon add on parts. I keep my Jeep clean and use it daily, on and off road. It's mechanical perfection is what makes mine great to own and keeps a smile on my face ! I wish they'd pass laws to stop the Duck lunacy. ,
@@user-hz7we6ue2h Ah come on, it's not that hard to throw away a duck if you don't like it. We don't need a law about that.
i bought a gladiator a month ago and got my first duck a day or 2 afterwards
🐥 here is one from me
Cherokee TH owner here. I duck others but never get ducked myself. I guess I don't have a real jeep despite me taking mine Off Road and having fun with it
I have a 370z and my copilot is a Delta Airlines Rubber Ducky in a pilot suit and hat that sits on the passenger side dash……I had no idea why all these Jeep owners wanted to purchase him, one person actually offered a significant amount.
Trend is 3 years old? It’s older than that lmao. The ducks were a thing even in 2010 lol
I literally am at the laundry mat right now and they have a machine to win ducks, everytime ive tried to win one in the past i never get lucky, today i told my daughter im finna try to get me a duck today, if i win one that mean imma own a jeep one day.......well long story short one my first try i won a cute gold glittered duck 🤣🤣🥳🥳🥳 i was gona keep it but now im gona go duck someone with it🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾❤️❤️❤️
Long before 2020, and really don’t care for them…I just wave or ✌️while driving my Jeep.
I’ve had Jeep Wranglers for over ten years. I’ve been getting ducks on my Jeeps for over ten years. This story is false. This is NOT how the Jeep “ducking” started!
I believe you, but it's possible that this lady also started the trend without knowing about it. Independent inventions happen fairly often.
Next it will be the "4Runner Nation"...from "Overland Bound'.... An idea that's "Just Ducky"
Yes, I have been seeing the DUCKing going on in Orange Country. I am going to start a TAHOE DUCK (Tduck) here. Just got the ducks to start it. Anyone live in the Orange Country area that wants to be the first.. ??
I've had 2 Jeeps Never been ducked
Duck duck, goose
Back in the 80’s Jeep was a guys vehicle. We didn’t need toy ducks to make a statement. Owning a Jeep was enough of a thrill. Nowadays, Jeeps are mostly broken dreams. My wife took more calls from Jeep owners when she worked for a car warranty company.
We ducking round here. 🦆
I dont jeep wave to jeeps with duck dashes, how much attention do you need..? When a duck gets put on my hood, I look for the closest drain and set it free.
R.I.P #motherduck
❤
It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.
You’re supposed to put it on another jeep if u find one on your jeep not keep them
Making the rules up as we go are we
@@mickeybarton9077 ain’t a complicated game
it's fun!!! BUT!
A gal in Toledo, Oh (Jeep Wrangler birthplace) Drives a small blue ford with a dash full of ducks on it! She is forever cursed! and DUCK SHAMED! I got a box full of ducks and only put the unique ones on my 2017 JK 2dr Sahara dashboard. Still It's FUN!
That’s my nephew
🥰
Hilarious
I bet ward does like to get "ducked" bahahahahah
Your wrong ! Not all Jeep owners want to be ducked. It's utter bs. To some it a nuisance. I have a no ducks sticker on my jeep and still get them so now I have a Duck head necklace that hangs on the rear view mirror. I added a sticker that says " I will behead your Duck and put it on this necklace ". I've had Karen's and Joes whine about it and call me a heartless prick claiming I should be grateful for the Duck and if I don't want it to give it to a child. I'm not contributing to the delinquency of a child by getting them hooked on ducks like some so called adults are. There are are Jeep owners who don't like angry eyes grills, color coordinated Amazon add ons, or themes for their Jeeps.
u mad bro?
I thought it was an escape from reality of how horrible and unpredictable jeeps reliability is. Guess I was wrong
Sooooo, we're Canada's mexicans? We just want to work the jobs nobody else wants! 😂
My Jeep is too ugly and lacks the Amazon off road kit to be ducked. Why you ducking my Jeep?
Captions 💀💀💀
Each duck is really the number of times those pieces of garbage have been in the shop.😂
I've never been ducked:(
You can have all mine...I absolutely hate this practice.
I've never been ducked and I'm on my 2nd jeep
Will according to the rules they have to like your Jeep apparently nobody does so maybe they'll start putting ugly ducklings
@@mickeybarton9077 you’re rude as hell. That was very unnecessary.
@@hotladyleo you will somebody!!
Jeep.............nah...it's just a fancy Fiat.
I am gunna do Cherokees only
XJ owners need love too
Wait until the rust is found.
Everything nowadays modern rusts
I've yet to see a jeep driver who didn't drive like they thought they were the only car on the road.
Racism in Canada; who would have thought….??
...AUSGEZEICHNET!!!!
Legend has it, that in late 2010, in the interior of Alaska, a father was given a rubber duck by his 18 month old son, the act touched the father so much that he put the duck on the antenna of his favorite vehicle, a tan 1990 Jeep wrangler.
Four years passed and the duck was still on the Father's Jeep antenna.
At that time the parents of the boy started a dog sled ride business called "Fairbanks dog sled rides", and their Jeep was parked outside of their tour cabin, where it stayed with the duck on the antenna that the Father's son gave him until October 2019 when the father and his family left Alaska on their skoolie and traveled the lower 48 until COVID hit
They now live in Arkansas with a new Jeep, the old tan Jeep now belongs to a new owner as of September 2023
And the rubber duck is now lost to time but the memory still remains for the family of the father and the thousands of tourists that have heard the story of the rubber duck that a little boy gave his father and the father in turn put it on his Jeep
And if anyone is curious what the ducks name was it was "What" yes What the Duck named by a dad and his son
18 months? I call BS . You mean his mother did?
Sure it was not Santa?
It was my son who gave me the duck and I put it on my Jeep, yes his mom was there and we were both amazed that he did it, at 14 now he is still very giving
If I remember correctly he picked it up along the bank of the Chena river in downtown Fairbanks after they had their rubber duckie race and gave the duck to me
People would tease me about it until I told them why it was on my Jeep antenna
The above story just sounded cooler when I am not taking credit for starting the craze
It doesn’t matter if you believe me, truth doesn’t change with opinion
I’ve just never seen anyone with a rubber duck on their Jeep until I put my sons on mine
And yes the duck was on there for 9 years (2010-2019)
It would turn black and I’d have to clean it, when we returned to Alaska to sell our vehicle the rubber duckie was gone, I assume it was eaten by squirrels since the Jeep was parked for 4 years while we were gone
So dumb 😂😂
You've been ducked or F###ed😂 My Wrangler got 10 mpg and was pissing oil all over.
Jeepers Creepers is that a stupid thing! 🤣🤣
Glad I own a 4Runner.
Jeeps have become the current day equivalent of ricer Japanese cars of the past.
People do the most garish and hideous things to them.
You gotz to be ducking kidding me
Boy, jeep owners have really gone downhill
What do you mean?
Us mustang guys. We similar to the jeep guys. Lots of us have jeeps and mustangs. Our thing is to do a burnout and run through a crowd in front of other mustangs. It’s awesome! Unless you’re standing in a crowd close by.
I would never put this in my windshield,it's allgood but count me out, im not ducking and hope I don't get ducked it will find its way to the trash bin.
It’s as dumb as I thought.
So let's see you get ducked if somebody likes your Jeep so does that mean if your Jeep is ugly you get a ugly duckling
Gh3y
New jeeps are TRASH. If you want a jeep, get an old one.
Fake news talking ducks
Gay 😂
dumbest trend! real jeepers don't duck
Stupidest trend ever. 🤦
They only own a Jeep because they’ve never owned an FJ Cruiser. Wink.
😂 I got ducked in my FJ Cruiser. I got to this video trying to figure out why there was a duck left on my vehicle. I've always had Toyotas. I got the jeep thing once. Now, it stings when I pee. 😂
As a Wrangler owner (‘15 JK), please stop this stupid fad. The Jeep wave is enough.
I think it's against the law for anybody put anything on someone else's vehicle you shouldn't do that and anyway I think everybody's making a god out of these jeeps and these rubber ducks
Grow up
It’s a distraction, helps jeep owners focus on something childish instead of the build quality and reliability.
FYI…Jeep Gladiator prices are plummeting along with Stellantis..😂😂
The trend is ridiculous and childish. Just wave and be done! Anyone that’s excited for this is as sick as the person that started it!
I don't think I'm even going to bother with the wave anymore, especially if they have a bunch of stupid ducks on the dash. If it's an actual off-road rig with no stupid ducks, then I might give them a return wave.
Fake news
I was wondering why jeeps look gayer now.
The cringiest trend in car history
It’s a Jeep thing. I guess we don’t understand 😂 nor do I want to
Agreed
Next to the Angry Jeep Face grill.
Super gay
Finally someone knows
More like Jeepers are creepers
This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard makes no sense
A duck will never touch my jeep ✌️ yall are cringe af
This is the gayest trend
Typical media story written by idiots. I watched the entire thing and have no idea what they are talking about. How hard is it to distil a story and explain the details.
Wow, ok. I thought the dealership or repair facility gave them out whenever the vehicle was in for electrical problems or mechanical repairs. That’s why so many Jeeps have them. 🤠
That's any make or model now where the hell have you been
Super gay
