Duck Hunt Dog

Dog (also known as the Laughing Dog) is a character from the NES video game, Duck Hunt. He is enemies to the Ducks.

Why He's Not "Man's Best Friend"

 * 1) To get the elephant out of the room, he is widely known for having an annoying laugh every time the player misses the ducks.
 * 2) His design is unappealing to look at, especially for NES standards.
 * 3) Due to him not speaking, he does not have a clear personality.
 * 4) He's rude towards the Ducks, as if you shoot down a Duck, he will hold it by the neck, which looks like he is choking it.
 * 5) His design in the NES game hardly even looks cute, because it actually looks like he is a teenage antromorphic dog.
 * 6) His collar is a bit small for some reason.
 * 7) For some reason, the thing under his nose is white, when it's supposed to be orange. That was thankfully fixed in the Smash series.
 * 8) Since he does not get any comeuppance for his misdeeds, he is a Karma Houdini.
 * 9) He's considered to be one of the most annoying game characters, alongside Navi the Fairy, Thief Pig, Omochao, etc.
 * 10) For some reason, in the Smash series, he became friends with Duck, but however in the NES game, he was enemies with the Ducks, which is nonsense.
 * 11) Speaking of which, his friendship with Duck in the Smash series is bad, as they hardly even interact with each other.
 * 12) He hasn't made that much appearances in Nintendo games. Thus showing how unpopular he is.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) His appearance improved in Smash games.
 * 2) He can be fun to play as in the Smash series depending on your view.
