    A must see!

    Daffy Doodles is a must see for Looney Tunes fans. Filled with double takes, chase sequences and just plain craziness. This is one of the best Looney Tunes ever made and features two of their best characters, Daffy and Porky. Like I said, a must see.

    Doodle on me, will ya?

    In some ways, "Daffy Doodles" seems a little more sedate than most of his cartoons, but it pulls off plenty of laughs. In this case, Daffy is a criminal painting moustaches on everyone and everything, while cop Porky tries to find him...if in fact that's possible.

    I actually wish that they could have let Daffy go a little crazier here, but his antics make up for any problems. I would hate to have to be Porky and be the recipient of Daffy's gags.

    As it is, the end scene reminds me of those instances where some criminal tries to get off scot free by copping an insanity plea or something like that. But anyway, it's a great cartoon.

    The perfect duck

    I am a very odd Looney Tunes fan. I love Looney Tunes for the reasons that most people do not like it. I like it mainly for the animation, non-slapstick jokes and the historical value. I am also a huge fan of Daffy Duck, but only in certain cartoons (I do not like Daffy Duck very much at all when he is being greedy and cruel, even though it is funny). In this cartoon, it was almost as if the Daffy, in both personality and animation style, was created for me. He was brilliant, I loved the little black duck in this cartoon. Even though there are many Daffy Duck cartoons I prefer to this one (do not ask me why, I have no idea), but this is the cartoon where I feel the personality of Daffy has been conjured toward his best and most entertaining. :-)

    Anyhow, I also enjoyed this cartoon for Porky (who does not bring on much humour but has an admirable personality), the setting (New York City), the animation and the theme of the episode - painting moustaches on every face! Classic!

    In this Daffy Duck episode, we are greeted with some sort of news headline, about a criminal in an "Eastern City" (lol), who is painting moustaches on every face. We meet Daffy Duck, who is the criminal and explains to the audience that everyone has a purpose in life - and his is to paint moustaches. Odd? It becomes better...

    I recommend this to people who like the crazier Daffy Duck who is still easy to relate to, Porky Pig and Looney Tunes in general. The good thing about this cartoon for certain people is that there are quite a deal of farce and slapstick jokes. I did not particularly enjoy these myself, finding them laboriously repetitive, but other people will like them. Enjoy "Daffy Doodles"! :-)

    A hilarious surrealist misadventure of early-period Daffy Duck!

    This Daffy Duck and Porky Pig cartoon was just awesome, and I'm glad it was an extra on my DVD of 'My Reputation' from my Barbara Stanwyck TCM 4-pack. Early Daffy misadventures, before he became simply irritable, sarcastic and cynical, were completely absurdist, Dadaist and surrealistic, completely simpatico with my approach to life. Here, he applies graffitied mustaches to every face he can find, either on signs or on the people themselves. I was hooting with delight for the entire cartoon. Celebrities' movie posters or magazine advertisements that ended up adorned in such a way were Alexis Smith, Ann Sheridan, Peter Lorre, Humphrey Bogart and Ida Lupino. When policeman Porky Pig finally manages to capture the character, Daffy ends up throwing himself at the mercy of the court. Essential and hilarious viewing for all ages.

    An animation Classic. Must see for all ages!

    You must see it, you must add it to your collection, you must-stache it away for special occasions. Daffy is (daffy), the crazed mustache fiend, painting mustaches on every billboard, poster, and slow moving pedestrian. Chases, double-takes, and general lunacy abound. A lot of bang for the duck.

    • Trivia
      The celebrity photos whom Daffy Duck draws mustaches on are (in order): Alexis Smith, Ann Sheridan, Peter Lorre, Humphrey Bogart, and Ida Lupino.
    • Goofs
      When Daffy catches Porky at the mailbox and is shackling him, Daffy says, "Wait 'til J. Edgar Whosis hears about this." - an indirect reference to J. Edgar Hoover. However, the closed captioning for this actually specifies 'Hoover', not 'Whosis'.

      Daffy Duck: She was an acrobat's daughter; she swung by her teeth from a noose. Till one matinee, the bridge-work gave way and she flew through the air like a goose!
