- CARTOON EVOLUTION #2 - DAFFY DUCK
I take a look at the history and evolution of Daffy Duck (that darn fool duck), the zany, whacky and erratic anthropomorphic black duck, with both a heart of gold and a wicked jealous streak .
Voiced by Mel Blanc, the man of a thousand voices, as one of Warner Bros. original Looney toons (starring in both the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts), Daffy Duck is the third-most featured character in the Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies shorts, behind only Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig - Daffy has been called “a cornerstone of the Warner Bros. stable of animated characters” by The Encyclopedia Britannica and is often considered amongst the greatest of all time, with eight of his films included in the renowned list of 50 Greatest Cartoons as voted by 1,000 animation professionals - more films than any other character.
I take a look at how Daffy evolved alongside Warner Bros. other popular characters, including Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam and more, and how he co-existed and outshone characters from Disney including Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.
I discuss how animators changed his look, appearance and personality over time, and how each cartoonist had their own different takes on the character - Tex Avery and Bob Clampett, Bob McKimson, Chuck Jones and Friz Frelenf, in this brand new series in the same vein as my EXPLAINING DISNEY EVOLUTIONS.
This is my look at Daffy Duck through the years (plus bonus FIND THE CHUNGUS!)

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
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.

You have to respect Daffy Duck considering his rivals. In his universe it's Bugs Bunny and in real life is Donald Duck.
true, but daffy is a darn fool duck again so he could be good friends with bugs but still not with donald
Hektols True but if you don’t respect me I’ll get very very very mad
@@georgerobinsonandhisukulel6103 honestly i think you and Woody Woodpecker would be great friends!
...even though Donald Duck is three years older than Daffy Duck.
@@blankblankness2971 w-what does that have to do with anything?
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.
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.
Daffy’s history really is interesting to be honest.
True
:)
Daffy duck.
Just a classic character.
Random Cringey CZcamsr indeed
Well bugs is more known
@@aydenbaldwin3041 I don't think that means daffy cannot be classic.
@@randomcringeyyoutuber6750 I know but bugs has been used a more shorts
@@aydenbaldwin3041 yeah... So?
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 .
Then who’s the funny guy
@@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
Alright! This is the very last straw! WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?! I demand that you show yourself! Who are you huh..
Bugs Bunny: Ain't I a stinker.
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.
David Gill hey don’t use my lines they are my lines
I've always loved referencing his line "I'm a coward, but a greeeeedy little coward!
YESSS I AM! WOOHOO
In 18 years, he will be 100 years old, and that doesn't sound that far from now
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
this makes bugs 89 years till
THAT’S IN 2037
@@EpicGamer_SansheeFreddy are you sure

Which do you like more?
Daffy: Like
Bugs: Like
Let’s see who you pick :>
bugs

I just did it for fun.
Both
Both
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
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.
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
Thanks Steve! I appreciate it!
@@DaveLeeDownUnder n bn
Didn't you sayed in the video.
@@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.
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_
Daffy duck is the best cartoon character!
I just realized something
Donald: rules over Mickey
Daffy: rules over Bugs
And they are both ducks
So you say a great empire of duckea
@@xmappergamer1002 and I'm thier leader...
Dun dun duuuuun.
@@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
@@ryanred1525 yes yes send out the jets. We have enough power over the world to take over
The Chuck Jones Daffy is by far the best... to me! Fabulous drawings, so expressive, and Mel Blanc's voice...just pure cartoon mayhem and magic! :-)
"Looney Tunes Back In Action" is such a guilty pleasure for me lol...It's definitely not my favorite, but it's still pretty fun.
I love looney tunes back in action
I only like it because of Marvin lmao
He only makes two appearances in the movie though. In the lab scene, and the space scene
Yeah, that movie was pretty fun especially if you're a Daffy Duck fan.
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.
That's what my PFP originated from
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
What so you think about the Looney Toons Show?
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.
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.
He’s back to insane daffy tho which is pretty good :D
He went from insane, to slightly grumpy, to chaotic neutral, to insane again!
@@SadikiStGeorgeangemon44 i couldn’t disagree with you more.
@@Apex_YT_117 Lmao that is the best description of Daffy's history
@@Apex_YT_117 yep
i love Tex Avery’s and clampetts daffy that was the best daffy
Oh, Daffy! Honestly, I prefer his original characterization.
From 1938? when Porky got a more human look?
Casey smith The screwball one.
Me too!
I like his screwball and selfish characterizations
I think he can be both at the same time.
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.
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 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!
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.
Yeah I'm a big fan of screwball Daffy. Just so wild and carefree.
Absofriggin'lutely. Daffy became just another Sylvester over time. The zaney craptalking Daffy will always be how I see him.
I'm glad that in new looney tunes and the looney tunes cartoons they brought back the screwball daffy duck
@@nilvia112 yeah
Same
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!
The Dueling Pianos scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of my absolute favorite scenes in that movie
my favorite cartoon character even with all the stuff Chuck Jones did to him. Love what Clampett and Tashlin did with him.
"The Golden Age of animation was coming to an end."
And sadly, at least in my opinion, we still haven't had anything close to an animation renaissance since... :/
Well... At least not for the Looney Tunes... Disney had theirs in the 90's with their movies
@@CitrusThings and with their series.
We might one day. When that day comes, I don't know, but it's best to be optimistic.
Bullshit
@@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.

Duck Amuck has to be my favorite of all the cartoons starring Daffy Duck. It makes me laugh real hard!
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!
Sugar Rush I would say Bugs and Daffy are more frenemies more than they are best friends.
@@Disneygirl3715 same
The abundance of information makes it almost feel like you lived through the era yourself. Incredible research and presentation!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Daffy in 2021: "I thlammed my penith in the car door."
I’m glad to see Daffy going back to his roots.

I actually really liked the looney tunes show and that version of daffy, but my single overall favorite daffy appearance, was caveman Duck.
The Daffy on The Looney Tunes Show is a mix of Chuck Jones' greedy, egotistical, pushy Daffy, and Tex Avery's and Bob Clampett's wacky Daffy.
I love how you say “suburban duck” like that’s a commonly recognized media archetype.
Always had a soft spot for Daffy Duck, much preferred his character over Bugs Bunny, great memories of him in the 70's growing up, thanks Dave.👍😀👍
Who’s better
Daffy:like
B I G C H U N G E S/aka bugs bunnie:comment
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. 😂💯
I love duck dodgers and the looney tunes show so much. Daffy is the best looney toon ever
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.
Can I just hug you? I loved this!!! I can’t wait for more. :)
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.
Thank you!
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.
Mines corny concerto
@@Pink_gelatin (does a google search)I don't mind that one, although I wouldn't call it one of my favorites.
Anyone else love Daffy during the end credits of Gremlins 2?
Sixty yearsth of you hogging the end title issth enough!
Lol!
Love it when he says...
Don't you people have homesth?
"Still lurking about? Dont you people have homes?"
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.
The little black duck is 85 today! Happy birthday, Daffy!
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!
Happy 86th birthday, Daffy!
I loved the Duck Dodgers tv show growing up!
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.
I love Back In Action. So underrated.
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.
One of the classic cartoons to blend his personalities is "Tom Turk and Daffy", which I believe is a Chuck Jones directed film.
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.
Nice video👍👍👍🦆
I love his loony tunes show rendition but that’s probably just because it’s what I grew up knowing
Daffy is my top most loved and favorite cartoon character
I LOVE the zany screwball Daffy. I laugh so hard at that incarnation.
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.
80th Anniversary of Daffy Duck (1937 - 2017)
"Just shows to go ya!" My all time favorite Daffy line.
i really like primordial daffy. its always kinda weird knowing he has that in him. that trickster god chaos energy.
I like how big Chugs is still in the Thumbnail
Big Chungus is everywhere you go! There is no escaping him! He’ll never die!
Thank you for liking my comment I’ve been a big fan of you
Thanks
GAHHH THE MEME IS DEAD AHHHH
Like you ConroyBoi
"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.).
For me, The Hunting Trilogy, Robin Hood Daffy and the Duck Dodgers series are my favorite appearances.
The Sherlock Holmes parody is definitely among my favorites. But Duck Amuck is hard to beat.
Deduce You Say is hysterically funny!
I’m still waiting for Tom and Jerry
Patience, in time.
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.
Duck Dodgers was my childhood
Damn daffy is really older than bugs
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.
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.
Daffy is freaking awesome!!
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!
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.
I've been really enjoying your animation evolution videos. Your editing, scripting, research, and passion really show!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that!
My first exposure to Daffy came in the form of Ducking the Devil, when they put him up against the Tasmanian Devil.
I always preferred the insane bouncy Daffy over the jealous and sarcastic Daffy. One of my favourite shorts is Daffy Duck slept here, in which he shares a hotel room with porky and is frequently tormenting him.
I love that Behind the scenes Daffy and Bug’s fights were nothing personal but Daffy and Donald had Serious beef
I needed this
"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'. 😁👍
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 loved Daffy’s appearance alongside Donald Duck. As always I enjoy the effort into these videos!
I waited for this
A pest in the house is my fav short of all time
Daisy Duck and daffy have the same birthday
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! I never realised that!
What about hewey Dewey and Louie
Actually, they only debuted the same year, but not the same day. Daisy debuted on January 9, 1937, while Daffy debuted on April 17.
