    Almost as funny as the Vagner opera with Buggs & Elmer

    This one always cracks me up. Especially when Daffy Mocks Friar (Porky) Tuck with, "Guffaw, Chortle, Nyuk, it is to laugh." The "Yikes and away!" is great too. They don't write 'em like this any more.

    Another favorite: "In the classic Warner Bros. cartoon 'The Scarlet Pumpernickel,' Daffy Duck is earnestly pitching his new script to the unseen Jack Warner. As Daffy tells the story, we see it unfold, performed by the great stock company of Daffy, Porky Pig, Sylvester and Elmer Fudd. But it soon becomes clear that Daffy does not have an ending for his movie. Warner presses him, Daffy keeps reaching, and Warner keeps asking for more. Poor Daffy. In his zeal, he forgot that adding any old plot development is not enough to make a gripping story. You've got to have something important on the line, something that matters. Daffy should have been asking himself, Who cares?

    That's a question all novelists must repeat. If you can create a character worth following and a problem that must be solved — and then along the way raise the stakes even higher—you're going to have the essential elements of a page-turner."

    Good Short

    Robin Hood Daffy (1958)

    *** (out of 4)

    Not quite as great as RABBIT HOOD, here's another Chuck Jones directed take on the Robin Hood legend. This time out Daffy Duck is wearing the tights and after running into Friar (Porky Pig) he must convince him that he is the real Robin. Of course, with Daffy this isn't going to be too easy and he keeps making one big mistake after another. ROBIN HOOD DAFFY contains some very good animation and a rather cute story but at the same time I don't think it comes together as good as it could have. Yes, it's a good movie but it's still middle-ground in terms of Looney Tunes and some of the classics they've done over the years. Some of the highlights includes a scene towards the end where Duffy flashes past the man he's trying to "take" and we see a great scene of him going into some water up up a draw bridge. The animation here is very effective and so is the laugh. The rest of the film contains some fast action but none of it is as funny as it should have been.

    A Chuck Jones classic.

    This Daffy Duck short is similar in style to Chuck Jones' Road Runner shorts with its unique backgrounds and fast moving gags. I especially like the scene in which Daffy uses his buck and a quarter quarter staff. Also very funny is the character design of the rich traveler Daffy attempts to rob. The unique shape of this character and his horse combined with the way they prance across the screen is a hilarious visual. This is among the best Daffy Duck shorts.

    Yikes and awaaaaaay....WHAM!!

    One of my all-time favorites. One hysterical gag after another, especially when Daffy tries to swing on a vine and smashes into one tree after another. Daffy is so funny as the failed Robin Hood Daffy, and Porky Pig is hillarious as Friar Tuck laughing at everything Daffy is doing. I can never stop laughing when I watch this one.

    Yoiks and away

    This is one of the funniest Daffy Duck cartoons. I especially liked that song he sings at the beginning "To trip, to trip, to trip it up and down." I also like the part where Daffy keeps hitting all those trees, so he chops them down. Then when he tries to swing again, he hits a huge rock. This is highly recommended. Daffy is one of my all time favorite toons.

      Daffy Duck: [using his quarterstaff] Ho! Ha ha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha! Thrust!

      [hits a log with his staff, causing it to recoil and hit him in the bill, bending it upwards. He pulls it down again]

      Daffy Duck: Hmm, let's see now. Something's amiss here. Hmm... I'll run through it. "Ho, ha ha, guard, turn, parry, dodge, spin, ha, thrust."

      [Bill bends up of its own accord]

      Daffy Duck: Got it.

      [Pulls bill down again]

      Daffy Duck: Now, then... Ho! Ha ha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin!

      [Friar Porky approaches him and uses a stick to spin Daffy around and make him splash into the water.]

    • Crazy credits
      The opening titles appear on arrows shot at a target. As the final title card (Starring Daffy Duck) appears, the camera pulls back to reveal that Daffy has been shooting the arrows at point-blank range. He notices the camera and slinks away, shamefaced.
