On Duck Dynasty Season 5 premiere night, the bearded Robertson clan was debating the artistic superiority of the Air Bud versus Jason Bourne film franchise.

There was also contention surrounding the merits of group texting and emojis.

Jase, Jep, Phil, Willie and John Luke Robertson went on a hunting excursion. But they aren’t talking ducks. Rather they were in deep debate about all things texting related.

Jase Robertson said: “Group texts are the worst. They’re like a terrible technological snowball coming down a mountain and you can’t stop it…  What was the original conversation? No one knows. No one cares. Stop having a conversation on my phone.”

This naturally led to discussion of emojis, of which John Luke Robertson is also a fan.

“Like smiley faces and people – animals sometimes,” he said.

John Luke Robertson continued to discuss emojis with his father Willie after duck hunting is over, saying: “There are all kinds of emojis.”

Willie Robertson asked: “What’s that? A bearded guy?”

John Luke answered: “That’s a monkey.”

Duck Dynasty’s newcomer Rebecca Robertson told John Luke that guys don’t really emoji.

Viewers were introduced to Rebecca Robertson, a Taiwanese foreign exchange student that Willie and his wife Korie adopted 10 years ago.
