He was their most popular character until Bugs beat him in popularity in the 50s. They also took his original character and gave it to Bugs. Clampett's Daffy was way different than McKimson's and Jones' Daffy.
I especially like that Daffy and Bugs are obviously animals even though they're anthropomorphic, unlike the Disney characters, especially the Goofy/Pluto conundrum, who are presented as humans in animal form.
It depends on the short, sometimes Daffy is just as anthropormofic as Donald, sometimes he is a duck who lives in the wilderness or a farm. And Looney Tunes also heavily used the dog- face characters, just like Disney.
The hunting trilogy is timeless and will never not be funny, but I think the “The Great Piggybank Robbery” is my favorite Daffy short. Classic Clampett zaniness mixed with some of the most energetic animation I’ve ever seen.
If anything it exposed bugs for being a cheat and coward. He knew daffy was better then him but by making daffy lose control of his emotions would make him screw up and lead to people not liking him. Bugs would become lazy over the years not worrying about losing to daffy. But overtime people would start to like daffy more then bugs. Now daffy has returned to his roots which most people seem to like more now. This time bugs can't do nothing about it.
It's weird because looking at it, Daffy and Bugs can both be seen as "straight men" compared to each other, while simultaneously being whacky in their own way .
@@l4zybo1 whichever one isn't the straight man at the time is the funny guy at the time. They have personalities that are normal in some ways and wacky and others. Daffy, at least in the Looney tunes show that I was growing up, was kind of jaded and a bit of a dick and bugs was more optimistic and liked to mess with people, but could also get roped into weird situations cause he just *went with it*. Did I think from my description alone you can kind of understand how either of those characters can beat a straight man or the funny guy depending on the situation
@@Nagasakevideo ah makes sense. I thought Warner Bros picked up Manzai and so i was like trying to logic the whole relationship out. But imo, ツッコミ: Bugs. ボッケ：Daffy
I always remembered a topic I brought up about Daffy saying the duck had to take the fall when Bugs Bunny was really getting some steam; that Daffy who was the original prankster and wise guy had to take a dive for the Wabbit's popularity.
My favorite Daffy appearance is probably Duck Dodgers. I love the few times Warner has tried doing "in-universe" shows like that and Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries
This makes me realize how old other cartoon characters are as well, like how Felix is already 100 years old this very year, which now makes me expect you to make Felix's video
Daffy name was popular phrase for the audiences at the time, but when the creators wanted to name him after baseball player Dizzy before settling on his brother who name was also called "Daffy." _It all came full circle_
I am astounded that I have never heard of or seen Daffy's Rhapsody before. Watching the clip, I tangibly see it encased in a Twitter post from an animation fan, talking about how "criminally underrated" it is, and how well it emulates or honors the cartooniness of the classics in CGI.
I love Daffy. When I was a kid, Quackbusters was one of those movies I watched over and over and it's still among my favorite non-Disney animated films.
I always preferred the original, insane Daffy over his later incarnations before he came back full circle. A shame they had to change him over the years, but it's better than fading into obscurity.
my favorite daffy appearances out of all of them would have to be: 1. daffy in Duck Dodgers 2. daffy in space jam 3. daffy in looney tunes back in action 4. daffy's cameo appearance in gremlins 2 5. daffy in all of the looney tunes compilation movies including daffy duck fantastic island and quackbusters 6. daffy in the 1990s looney tunes shorts such as box office bunny and carrotblanca and 7. Daffys appearance in Tiny toons adventures where you also see plucky duck
He didn't have cameo appearances in Gremlins 2. He was included in the opening and closing title sequences by Chuck Jones. He also appears occasionally in the closing credits.
Awesome video man! Really informative and well edited! Hope you do a proper cover of the new Looney Tunes shorts coming out in 2019. Also, FUN FACT: Daffy and Bugs actually first met onscreen way back in 1943 during the episode Porky Pig's Feat, where Daffy refers to Bugs Bunny as being his hero. A far cry from their future onscreen appearances
@@DaveLeeDownUnder I don't like how you bashed Clampett's style here. His best shorts, such as The Great Piggy Bank Robbery from 1946, were still masterpieces full of creativity and in the same tier as Jones' best.
@@kingofducks3156 my-y Lord I did not expect to see you here troops are doing good we have Warner Bros. and Disney but we have not been able to capture anyone else or anyone of major importance but-but I think we could take over a quite a lot with these two and we are almost done with the duck jets
I love the Duck Dogers TV series! Daffy showed some real growth in personality. He's still arrogant, dense, and self-absorbed. However, he acknowledges he has those flaws, feels bad about them, and actually tries to be a hero. It's also funny!
This was a fantastic video! Whether Daffy is zany, robin hood, greedy, duck dodgers or even Samurai Quack, this little black duck is timeless!! And furthermore is not despicable!
Big Chungus is the main cornerstone for cartoon characters’ evolution genetics. Whenever these animators or sketchers draw any character, they get this Chungus vision for a split second, then change the character forever. It’s like the God Chungus has some power to give the animators this revolutionary change for said character. Truly an iconic and divine sign.
Daffy Duck is a beautiful black duck and my favorite looney tunes character. He and bugs are best friends and both being celebrated along with the fact that they both crossdress which I find fun. Ahhh thank you for making this video!
I know Chuck Jones version of Daffy is the most well known and while I will always enjoy that take, I've always perfer Clampetts version of Daffy his wacky personality has always been hilarious.
Crazy to think that so many of our beloved cartoon and comic characters are so close to turning 100 years old. Daffy Duck clearly inspired my love of birds and ducks specifically through my childhood.
Space Jam Daffy Duck was the best. It was a mixture of Avery and Jones description of the character. I mean when he was Dr. Daffy and have MJ that quick check up along with panting the orange Monstar (Nerdluck Pound) basketball shorts it was straight up classic slapstick. 😂💯
Daffy is my favorite cartoon character from Looney Tunes. Incredible how much did he evolved through time. My favorite version of Daffy Duck is the one from late 1930s and the 1940s, especially from the cartoons made by Bob Clampett.
Great video, Dave! I have a lot of favorite Daffy moments but I have a special fondness for 1938's The Daffy Doc. It features what has to be the most insane portrayal of the character.
Duck Dodgers was always my favorite Looney Tunes short, and I love the underappreciated Dodgers cartoon series. I mean, I liked the Looney Tunes Show and all, but I think it worked better as a modernized humor based LT series.
Critically I wasn't a fan of either Space Jam or Back in Action but I did like how both movies seemed to blend the different versions of Daffy together.
When I was younger and watched Looney Tunes religiously, Daffy Duck always stood out to me. I loved all the other characters, but Daffy was something special. Now, I know why. Of all the loony characters in Looney Tunes, Daffy Duck is the looniest. WHOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO!!! 🤪
Yes!!! My favorite scene of probably any Looney Tunes short is Duck Amuck, in the scene where Daffy gets animated far away on an island and goes: "Hey! Give me a close-up! A Close-up! This is a close-up!? A close-up ya jerk!" It makes me laugh so much. Such a great little scene! Thanks for the vid on Daffy!
I like the 40s version of Daffy(aka: the ones where he's NOT greedy or trying to one-up Bugs Bunny). A perfect example of this being "Plane Daffy". One of my favorite Daffy Duck Cartoons.

@@CitrusThings Sorry, the new Disney animation, though technically pleasing, lacks imagination and heart...just like Disneyland itself and all branches therein. Just look at Broadway. Disney productions are like the cartoons, uninteresting and visually appealing to the tots only. So bloody boring. Their strive for the almighty dollar has curbed their creativity and uniqueness. Sad to see such a good idea go by the wayside. But they have little internist in pleasing the public...just look at what they are churning out. It is a schmaltzy assembly line. A formula that has not worked in years. NOT the happiest place on earth. Their turnover in personnel is phenomenal. . . . . .
Daffy has and always will be my absolute favorite. I also love the hunting trilogy. I also vaguely remember him teaming up with Buggs in one episode where they find a cave full of treasure and Daffy was swimming in all the gold. And of course Duck Dodgers was the best thing on tv at the time.
For me, best Daffy Duck's personality is one under McKimson direction. I have a lot of favorite shorts from different authors, even from Chuck Jones, wich inspiration of Daffy I don't really like. Most interesting part of the character is that every animator/director gave Daffy something new, that makes him complex person, more live and close to real people. Also I really love Daffy's character in "New Looney Tunes", when authors returned to classic zany Bob Clampett's "little black duck", but kept something from other directors. Maybe for making Daffy better you need just keep him away from Bugs and don't make him jealous and toxic.
I recently watched the entire Looney Tunes Show series for the sake of nostalgia, but I actually found it to be genuinely good and more entertaining than a lot of the original cartoons. I'd like for something similar to that to be made!
Wow, thanks for this one- Daffy has been my favorite for ages now. Clampett, Avery, and the recent Looney Tunes Show were some of my favorite iterations.
13:04 - Funny you say that cause in Space Jam, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, the Bugs and Daffy Show (a marathon collection of Bug and Daffy shorts) on Cartoon Network, Duck vs Rabbit, and especially the Cartoon Network 20th Anniversary commercial they still make fun of the rivalry between Bug and Daffy with the former getting standing ovation and applause while the latter getting the "short end of the stick" and no applause. Even when Bugs ask the cartoon characters about their "favorite Daffy Duck Cartoon" when they were taking a picture most of them respond being in disgust or remained silent. When Bugs mentioned "favorite Bugs Bunny Cartoon" they responded in a smile.
Nice piece. One of my favorite Daffy Duck appearances is in "Book Revue," where he sings "Nothing could be feener than to be in Caroleena in the morning..."
Oh brother this is the best yet, and for your information buster Daffy has changed phenomenally over the years. WOO-HOO! Sorry about that, my inner Daffy came out at the start. Anyway, nice going rabbi- erm.. mean sir.
"Whoohohhoohhoo!"-favorite Daffy's sentence as well as " You're despicable!". My favorite Looney Tunes characters. Otherwise I like him and as Duck Dodgers, which is really underrated cartoon. Imagine the fight of Duck Dodgers and the Duck Avenger (Donald Duck's Superhero ego). We should not forget his fight against Von Vulture and his assistant Schultz ("Schuuuuuuuuuuuuultz!") (I'm talking about propaganda cartoons during the Second World War.).
"Rabbit Season!!" ; "YOU are... Despicable!" are two of Daffy's most memorable lines- he's best as Bugs Bunny's rival, though he also had his share of solo cartoons such as when he was a sheriff (Porky Pig was his deputy), or his laying a golden egg brought him to the attention of the Mob. And there's his run in with Disney's Donald Duck in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Great video, Dave. Hope Yosimite Sam or Sylvester's on the list for other 'evolution videos'. 😁👍
22:07 *pauses and dies* My animation teacher had access to the model of Elmer during that shot and oml once you know what the model looks like behind the scenes you can NEVER unsee it (Boi his torso is..so long...) XDDD
Daffy has always been one of my all time favorites! (Also, A day late to this video, But it's cause I've a backlog of a ton of other videos to still watch!)
Believe it or not, I actually love Daffy Duck because of his wacky and daffy personality. I really dislike Bugs Bunny because he is always sly with poor Daffy. My favourite Daffy is Duck Dodgers by the way.
Chad Brown I've never been a Bugs Bunny fan either. I've never had sympathy for a character who almost always wins against everyone, which the studio really tried to avoid by making all other characters be mean to him, making them all look worse. Never cared for his brand of humor either, but I always have liked Daffy because he's way more variable with his content.
My favorite version of Daffy Duck is when he's basically Bugs Bunny, but ABSOLUTELY OFF HIS ROCKER. Oh, I absolutely love him. Where Bugs Bunny is tormenting others on purpose because they wronged him in some way (like disturbing his home or throwing a pie in his face), Daffy does because, again, he's absolutely insane and not because he's openly and (necessarily) consciously malicious. Like in the cartoon where Daffy is the most wanted criminal in the world.....for painting moustaches all over the city. Or when he's a hotel vallet and he keeps disturbing a guest's sleep in his attempts to *help* him get some rest. Daffy is just vibing and enjoying life, and I absolutely love it But then, they had to make him petty, dumb, vindictive and incompetent just because (in my opinion) he was too similar to Bugs Bunny. Which is ironic, because Bugs Bunny originally WAS the petty and vindictive one. The things he felt wronged for were generally very petty, like a poster being placed over his hole, not wanting his picture taken, being the hare in the "hare and the turtle" etc. , with the way he got revenge for these minor transgressions being tenfold
Donald and Daffy were always my favorites. Seeing them together in Roger Rabbit was so mind blowing for me as a kid.
printthelegends thanks but I don’t think you should like that Disney Duck he tried to kill me
Daffy Duck i like your playing better anyways,Donald your despicable
Same they were always my favorites as well
And they met again to settle the score earlier today.
Agreed! because they're both yackity yacking ducks.
so Daffy appeared before Bugs? No wonder he's been so jealous of him all these years
He was their most popular character until Bugs beat him in popularity in the 50s. They also took his original character and gave it to Bugs. Clampett's Daffy was way different than McKimson's and Jones' Daffy.
@@osaji922 Actually around the late 40s.
Right!
@@osaji922 that explains it all.
woo. hoo.
Yeah that makes sence
I especially like that Daffy and Bugs are obviously animals even though they're anthropomorphic, unlike the Disney characters, especially the Goofy/Pluto conundrum, who are presented as humans in animal form.
How about Porky.,., or Daffy vs Beaky Buzzard and Tweety, Unlikew MOST tghe DIsney characters, whattabout Chip and Dal;e.

Daffy has and always will be my absolute favorite. I also love the hunting trilogy. I also vaguely remember him teaming up with Buggs in one episode where they find a cave full of treasure and Daffy was swimming in all the gold. And of course Duck Dodgers was the best thing on tv at the time.
For me, best Daffy Duck's personality is one under McKimson direction. I have a lot of favorite shorts from different authors, even from Chuck Jones, wich inspiration of Daffy I don't really like. Most interesting part of the character is that every animator/director gave Daffy something new, that makes him complex person, more live and close to real people.
Also I really love Daffy's character in "New Looney Tunes", when authors returned to classic zany Bob Clampett's "little black duck", but kept something from other directors. Maybe for making Daffy better you need just keep him away from Bugs and don't make him jealous and toxic.
6:37 This short was featured in an episode of Star Trek Voyager.
12:40-12:49 Cartoon Network used that clip for their "Power House" era.
Daffy in 2021: "I thlammed my penith in the car door."
I LOVE the zany screwball Daffy. I laugh so hard at that incarnation.
I recently watched the entire Looney Tunes Show series for the sake of nostalgia, but I actually found it to be genuinely good and more entertaining than a lot of the original cartoons. I'd like for something similar to that to be made!
Wow, thanks for this one- Daffy has been my favorite for ages now. Clampett, Avery, and the recent Looney Tunes Show were some of my favorite iterations.
13:04 - Funny you say that cause in Space Jam, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, the Bugs and Daffy Show (a marathon collection of Bug and Daffy shorts) on Cartoon Network, Duck vs Rabbit, and especially the Cartoon Network 20th Anniversary commercial they still make fun of the rivalry between Bug and Daffy with the former getting standing ovation and applause while the latter getting the "short end of the stick" and no applause.
Even when Bugs ask the cartoon characters about their "favorite Daffy Duck Cartoon" when they were taking a picture most of them respond being in disgust or remained silent.
When Bugs mentioned "favorite Bugs Bunny Cartoon" they responded in a smile.
10:25-10:45 The animation on-screen perfectly syncs up with what's being told in the narration.
A pest in the house is my fav short of all time
Nice piece. One of my favorite Daffy Duck appearances is in "Book Revue," where he sings "Nothing could be feener than to be in Caroleena in the morning..."
I love that Behind the scenes Daffy and Bug’s fights were nothing personal but Daffy and Donald had Serious beef
Oh brother this is the best yet, and for your information buster Daffy has changed phenomenally over the years. WOO-HOO! Sorry about that, my inner Daffy came out at the start. Anyway, nice going rabbi- erm.. mean sir.
"Whoohohhoohhoo!"-favorite Daffy's sentence as well as " You're despicable!". My favorite Looney Tunes characters. Otherwise I like him and as Duck Dodgers, which is really underrated cartoon. Imagine the fight of Duck Dodgers and the Duck Avenger (Donald Duck's Superhero ego). We should not forget his fight against Von Vulture and his assistant Schultz ("Schuuuuuuuuuuuuultz!") (I'm talking about propaganda cartoons during the Second World War.).
"Once again, you messed up Daddy Duck, time travel and Mel freaking Black!"
- PhantomStrider on "See You Later Gladiator" (1968)
"Rabbit Season!!" ; "YOU are... Despicable!" are two of Daffy's most memorable lines- he's best as Bugs Bunny's rival, though he also had his share of solo cartoons such as when he was a sheriff (Porky Pig was his deputy), or his laying a golden egg brought him to the attention of the Mob. And there's his run in with Disney's Donald Duck in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Great video, Dave. Hope Yosimite Sam or Sylvester's on the list for other 'evolution videos'. 😁👍
Easily one of my top 5 and zaniest Looney Tunes characters.
Looking forward to the voice comparison.
22:07 *pauses and dies*
My animation teacher had access to the model of Elmer during that shot and oml once you know what the model looks like behind the scenes you can NEVER unsee it (Boi his torso is..so long...) XDDD
The little black duck is 85 today! Happy birthday, Daffy!
Happy 86th birthday, Daffy!
My first exposure to Daffy came in the form of Ducking the Devil, when they put him up against the Tasmanian Devil.
Daffy is freaking awesome!!
I loved Daffy’s appearance alongside Donald Duck. As always I enjoy the effort into these videos!
Daffy was truly daffy in the old eps.
Nice video👍👍👍🦆
Daffy has always been one of my all time favorites!
(Also, A day late to this video, But it's cause I've a backlog of a ton of other videos to still watch!)
Believe it or not, I actually love Daffy Duck because of his wacky and daffy personality. I really dislike Bugs Bunny because he is always sly with poor Daffy. My favourite Daffy is Duck Dodgers by the way.
Chad Brown I've never been a Bugs Bunny fan either. I've never had sympathy for a character who almost always wins against everyone, which the studio really tried to avoid by making all other characters be mean to him, making them all look worse. Never cared for his brand of humor either, but I always have liked Daffy because he's way more variable with his content.
@@libraryham thank you very much.
My favorite version of Daffy Duck is when he's basically Bugs Bunny, but ABSOLUTELY OFF HIS ROCKER. Oh, I absolutely love him. Where Bugs Bunny is tormenting others on purpose because they wronged him in some way (like disturbing his home or throwing a pie in his face), Daffy does because, again, he's absolutely insane and not because he's openly and (necessarily) consciously malicious. Like in the cartoon where Daffy is the most wanted criminal in the world.....for painting moustaches all over the city. Or when he's a hotel vallet and he keeps disturbing a guest's sleep in his attempts to *help* him get some rest. Daffy is just vibing and enjoying life, and I absolutely love it
But then, they had to make him petty, dumb, vindictive and incompetent just because (in my opinion) he was too similar to Bugs Bunny. Which is ironic, because Bugs Bunny originally WAS the petty and vindictive one. The things he felt wronged for were generally very petty, like a poster being placed over his hole, not wanting his picture taken, being the hare in the "hare and the turtle" etc. , with the way he got revenge for these minor transgressions being tenfold
I've been really enjoying your animation evolution videos. Your editing, scripting, research, and passion really show!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that!
