Donald Duck was probably dreaming of a nice, refreshing pond to paddle in after appearing on the First We Feast show 鈥淗ot Ones.鈥

The animated character, along with Mickey Mouse, appear in a of the popular internet series in which guests consume increasingly spicy chicken wings, while being interviewed by host Sean Evans.

Donald Duck鈥檚 episode happened as part of a celebration of the animated character鈥檚 celebration 90 years with Disney. Already known for getting hot under the collar, Donald did not keep his cool.

We are going to go ahead and declare the Disney character鈥檚 attempt through the flight of spicy wings one for the history books. Let鈥檚 revisit some others:

Idris Elba

The 鈥淟uther鈥 star is one cool cat.

Elba initially barely broke a sweat plowing his way through the wings. He even came in cocky.

鈥淚 fear no one,鈥 Elba said at the beginning of his episode.

Elba, who it is revealed enjoys a bit of hot sauce with his breakfast steak and eggs, continued his trash talking through multiple sauces, until he hit a real hot one.

He then demanded to know who came up with the idea for the show and was told it was a man named Chris, who was present in the studio.

鈥淐an you fight Chris,鈥 Elba joked as he tried to recover from the spice.

Ariana Grande

The singer and actress is vegan, so the show accommodated her with vegan chicken wings whose spice she came prepared for in advance.

During her episode, Grande revealed that she had packed antacid medication, bananas and popsicles to help her make it through the heat of the food. For those not used to watching, participants are usually provided something to drink, like milk, to soothe their burning taste buds.

It turns out the petite performer was a tough competitor as she handled those spicy wings like a champ - even as she made a stank face.

鈥淢y face changed because I think I鈥檓 learning that I don鈥檛 like hot sauce,鈥 Grande joked.

Thank you, next.

Jennifer Lawrence

Insert a 鈥淗unger Games鈥 joke here in honor of Lawrence鈥檚 appearance.

Lawrence started out declaring the wings as 鈥渢asty鈥 and ended up sobbing in pain.

鈥淣othing helps鈥 she said as the heat got to her and drinking liquids offered no relief.

鈥淚 think I鈥檓 going to die!鈥 she later cried.

The aftermath was ugly.

鈥淚 passionately threw up after. Violently,鈥 Lawrence later revealed to 鈥淲atch What Happens Live鈥 host Andy Cohen 鈥淚 made it upstairs to my suite. My holding suite.鈥

Conan O鈥橞rien

The former late-night host鈥檚 appearance was so fire that NPR asked,

He treated the whole thing as a bit, even bringing his personal 鈥減hysician鈥 (played by longtime writer and producer Jos茅 Arroyo). He licked one incredibly hot sauce off a wing and screamed, 鈥淐鈥檓on man, are we doing this or not?!鈥

By the end, O鈥橞rien appeared sweaty, had slobbered milk and had sauce smeared on his chin, though that didn鈥檛 stop him from swigging one of the hottest sauces directly from the bottle.

Well done, sir.

Pedro Pascal

Pascal is known for being a great dramatic actor. 鈥淭he Last of Us鈥 star definitely brought the drama during his appearance, paying close attention to the questions as he suffered the heat during the interview.

鈥淭his is the story structure to your interview,鈥 Pascal said. 鈥淵ou tell me I鈥檓 doing well and then you try to kill me.鈥

He started wondering how much food would get caught in his 鈥渁stonishing mustache鈥 before gulping a glass of milk to deal with the pain and asking if his tongue was still there.

Maya Rudolph as Beyonce

This wasn鈥檛 an actual 鈥淗ot Ones鈥 episode, yet, but it is too hilarious not to include.

鈥淪aturday Night Live鈥 did a skit in which Maya Rudolph pretended to be Queen Bey on 鈥淗ot Ones.鈥 She dived right into the spicy, noting 鈥淚鈥檓 from Texas baby! This girl can handle her wings!鈥

But by the end, Rudolph, in character, was declaring 鈥淏eyonc茅鈥檚 head is wet!鈥 and 鈥淭his wing is wrecking me!鈥 before shutting it all down around sauce four of the challenge.

She鈥檚 a survivor, after all.

Shaquille O鈥橬eal

The famed basketball player turned commentator would have been forgiven had he dribbled some of the sauce.

O鈥橬eal has one of the most famous 鈥淗ot Ones鈥 appearances ever, because true to his more than seven-foot frame, he does everything big.

That included the jokes (he teased he was 鈥淪notty Pippen鈥 after his nose began to run) and bringing his own gallon of milk to the table.

But fans especially enjoyed him dunking on Kansas before having to take it almost immediately back.

鈥淜ansas don鈥檛 know how to do know hot wings,鈥 Shaq said before trying a wing. 鈥淥ooh, I apologize Kansas!鈥

And despite vowing early on not to make any faces, the faces he ended up making became popular memes.
