Created by the Gmod video maker [=DasBoSchitt=], also known for creating the WebAnimation/TheGmodIdiotBox, Duke Nukem Foreverquest is an animation depicting the time before ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever'' came out. Starring a [[StylisticSuck deliberately badly animated Duke]], it follows his quest to regain his lost money from [=3DRealms=] after [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Mr. Goldblum]] emptied his bank account as an incentive for Duke to get off his ass and away from the constant stream of pornography, he goes about the entire job as you would expect - [[ComedicSociopath massive amounts of violence to everyone, hostile or otherwise.]]

One subplot revolves around Metrocop #1 attempting to revive his deceased pal and creator of The G-Mod Idiot Box, [=DasBoSchitt=] after accidentally blasting his head off with a shotgun trap in ''Gmod Idiot Box 10''. The subplot serves as Episode 11's prequel.

You can watch it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5JH3jCMX0M here]].

!This work provides examples of:

* CantHoldHisLiquor: A single beer disables Duke.
* CurseCutShort: When Duke drinks a beer.
--> '''Duke:''' "[[InstantSoprano Gotta drink more first]]. *Sip* What thuh fuhhhh-" [[IntoxicationEnsues *Drunken Seizure*]]
** In addition:
--> (''Duke gets a new tweet on his phone. It's from #1, who wrote "ROFL I STOLED DUKES MUNNIES AND HE HAS NO IDEA!!" Cue Duke staring at his phone while #1 strolls by whistling [[FunnyBackgroundEvent in the background]] carrying a briefcase full of Duke's money. [[DelayedReaction 14 seconds later...]]'')
--> '''Duke:''' "MOTHERFU-"
* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: With a helping of SophisticatedAsHell:
--> '''Duke:''' Give it back, or I'll rip off one of your limbs and forcefully shove feces down your newly-created orifice!
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Duke's entire motivation for getting his money back, so he can go back to watching porn.
* DelayedReaction: A full FOURTEEN seconds pass between Duke seeing #1 tweeting about stealing his money (during which time #1 casually walks by Duke with the money while whistling) before Duke finally says [[CurseCutShort "MOTHERFU-"]].
* ForcedPerspective: Because of his limited movement, Duke has to rely on this to capture a 3D Realms employee. As in, moving the camera to first person and swiping his hand over the guy, making it look as if Duke's giant hand just snatched him.
* FreezeFrameBonus: As the news channel is reporting on [=DasBoSchitt=]'s accidental death at the hands of #1, (a [[CallBack call-back]] to WebAnimation/TheGmodIdiotBox Episode 10) the ticker below reads "Half-Life 3 finally announced to be released on" but the video cuts away before the release date is shown.
** Another report that comes before the above one: "Congress approves plan to launch the stupid into the sun. Congress now missing"
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: As Duke is staring at #1's tweet bragging about how he stole Duke's money and that "he has no idea", #1 strolls by carrying the money in a briefcase while whistling.
* AGlassInTheHand: The boss of Gearbox Software at the end, parodying the ''Streets of Rage 3'' ending, struggles to actually break the glass.
-->"Come on, break, you bastard-- (''thumps glass on the table'') You stupid thing, makin' me look like a pansy... (''smashes glass, cutting his hand open'') ''[[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill BWAAAAA-]]''
* GroinAttack: What it takes to decimate Duke's Ego bar. Duke also uses it on Goldblum when the karate chops don't work.
* HighlyVisiblePassword: The entire password entry scene.
* IntoxicationEnsues: After drinking one can of beer, it completely maxes out his Drunk Bar and makes him [[VideoGame/GarrysMod thrusterlimb around on the floor]] [[StylisticSuck (at least as far as a ramrod-stiff character model will allow]].
* MobileShrubbery: How Duke tries to sneak into 3D Realms without being noticed.
* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: Played with. It's a very easy, 4 digit password that Duke himself set, but he forgot it himself, despite there being a massive hint on the screen: "I am _ _ _ _ Locked". After [[StuffBlowingUp interrogating someone]], he suddenly realises the password when the person mentions "[[EurekaMoment You never really did like that vault, you always said it was just blocking your means to the babes]]...". The password was: [[spoiler:I am COKB locked]].
* RealityWarper: When Duke is interrupted when entering the password, we see (from the interrupter's point of view) him waggle his arm in front of him. Then, from Duke's point of view, we see him grab the man [[AlienGeometries as if he was a mere foot away from him and tiny]].
* SaveScumming: Duke accidentally kills himself falling down an elevator shaft, but [[ItMakesSenseInContext he survives by loading a save state]].
* ShoutOut:
** [[Series/DoctorWho Daleks]] make an appearance.
** #1's "Fixitfixitfixit" is from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}.
** The entire interrogation scene is a parody of ''VideoGame/LANoire''. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments At least Duke flying off the handle was somewhat justified considering how much Cole could do this in the game.]]
** The scene of [=BoSchitt=] getting his face reconstructed is a remake of a scene from [[Film/Batman1989 the 1989 Batman movie]].
** The password to the vault is [[spoiler: [[Series/{{Sherlock}} I am COKB locked.]]]]
** When Duke's phone gets a tweet, the ringtone says [[Series/{{Sherlock}} "Oooh."]]
** When Duke calls Goldblum a dumbass, he does it in the same style as Anime/SuperMilkChan.
** TheStinger is one to the bad endings of [[VideoGame/StreetsOfRage Streets of Rage 3]].
** "President Man" is very obviously [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill Hank Hill]].
* SpecialEffectsFailure: [[InvokedTrope Invoked.]] Duke's Mighty Foot animation is taken directly from ''VideoGame/DukeNukem3D''. Especially noticeable in the fight scene, where he lifts off in one scene and it cuts to him using both feet at once.
* StylisticSuck: Probably one of the most glaring examples of this, and is explored quite a bit and is a pretty major plot point. The animation on Duke is (deliberately) atrocious - He is stuck ramrod stiff, has no walking animations, his talking animations fluctuate between poor and awful, and his arm movements are very feeble looking and sounding. What's more, his Mighty Foot attack is [[SpecialEffectsFailure only ever seen in first person view, with the sprites from the original game.]] There is a major reason for this, however: Since the previous games in the series made him rich, he has deliberately neglected his animation budget, opting to spend all of his money on porn. Probably a good time to mention that said budget clocks in at at least $6,000,000. ''And that's just the stuff that was reclaimed by Goldblum.''
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Not only does the Gearbox CEO have actual trouble crushing [[AGlassInTheHand his glass by hand]], but when he actually does, it shreds his hand open.
* ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption: At least, according to Duke. However, several people in the story are completely cooperative with him, and he still opts for violence, such as blowing up the building containing the person who he's interrogating, and repeatedly karate-chopping someone in the neck, despite him telling Duke he'd have gladly opened the vault for him.
* VisualPun: [=DasBoSchitt=]'s head gets textures and a distinct model after it gets put through a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blender_(software) blender]].
