The Wise Quacking Duck

Until I saw Popeye's "Vim,Vigor & Vitaliky" (with Bluto in drag), I considered this to be The Funniest Cartoon Ever Made. But it still gets my top rating; somehow, the most memorable moment for me is Daffy singing "Mammy's LIttle Poopie" while dancing back & forth in several pies. And consider this: Is the final gag supposed to be a topical reference to (gulp!) GASSING people in WW II concentration camps???

Until I saw Popeye's "Vim, Vigor & Vitaliky" (featuring Bluto in drag), I considered this to be the funniest cartoon ever made. But it still gets my top mark....the most memorable part for me, somehow, is when Daffy sings "Shortnin' Bread" while dancing back and forth in several pies. And consider this: Is the final gag supposed to be a topical reference to (gulp!) gassing people in WW II concentration camps???

Robert Clampett lets the sick humor loose in a frenetic avalanche of gags and sound effects. Friz Freleng (I read this somewhere) said Clampett used to overdo things.....and, this is a BAD thing in a cartoon?? "Aw, buck up, B-B eyes. Here, have a swigga swampwater" is one of the best lines Daffy has ever delivered. He also administers a brutal beating to Mr. Meek. Check out the sound effects and Daffy's antics after Mr. Meek has swung his hatchet into a pile of hay that Daffy is hiding behind. Also, try counting all the sound effects in this one!! Whadda hoot!!

Another funny Bob Clampet:"Looney Tune".Here "Daffy"takes advantage of Poor"Mr.Meek".As the little scnook tries to kill"The Little Black Duck"For his wife's duck dinner.But "Daffy"manages to trick the poor schnook in every way possible.With egg dropps on "Mr.Meek's"head,Pie throwing,A Strip tease and even a bad"Jerry Colllona"Imitiation(Repleate with The Palm red gag).But eventually."Daffy's"Luck runs out and"Mr.Meek"Corners him and blasts off "The Little Black Duck's"Feathers.Until poor"Daffy"is standing on camera in his birthday suit and is thrust into the oven.Where "Mr.Meek"turns up the heat.Until"Daffy"Starts screaming Frightfully.Scared."Mr.Meek"Opens the oven and pulls out"Daffy".Whose says"Say? Now you're cooking with gas!".A Crazy cartoon.But a funny one.Nostalgia Kid
