Nuckin' Futs is an Adobe Flash-based animation by JibJab focused around the year 2006, "The JibJab Year in Review". (Its name is a spoonerism of "Fuckin' Nuts", which appeared, most notably, in the 2003 film, Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star, as the catchphrase of the titular character, played by David Spade, "This is nuckin' futs!") Like other JibJab presentations, Nuckin' Futs is a comedy animation. The animation stars real-world children whose mouths move according to the lyrics of the song. The "Musical" is presented in the form of a children's choir and highlights the main events of the year 2006 such as former N*Sync band member Lance Bass 'coming out of the closet', the war between Israel and Lebanon, and many more events. The video ended with the children singing "The way that things are heading Armageddon won't be long! It really won't be long! Yeah," to a startled and disturbed audience.
