Merrie Melodies- Daffy Doodles (English)

[Harkadenn]

Porky looks better with mustache!

[subgrv27]

The mustache maniac is my hero.

[AlexanderT21]

I love how Daffy used to be able to teleport.

[UnwantedStudios3]

he was an acrobat's daughter. She swung by her teeth from a noose. But one matinee her bridgework gave way. And she flew through the air like a goose ...

[sha11235]

Don't like the ending. I know I've said this before, but it bothers me.

[sha11235]

Don't like the ending. I know I keep saying it, but it bothers me. 

[Stussmeister]

Anyone know the name of the song that begins at 2:37?

[DJPaulOhoo1]

@Stussmeister 42nd street

[zod56]

@Stussmeister

42nd street

[OldsVistaCruiser]

@Stussmeister - As others have posted, it's "42nd Street" from the movie and play of the same name. Carl Stalling often used it in urban settings, and this is one of the best examples of his use of the song. Nothing like the roar of the brassy Warner orchestra, especially with Stalling at the baton!

[TheRanadia]

can somone help finding a warner bros cartoon??its like a horror where gangsters tries to capture i dnt rmmber wether its daffy or bugs but all i can rmmber its dark n scary n a scene frm it is the gangsters fall one by one,please someone?i wnna bring back my childhood times.

[ElwinRansom75]

@TheRanadia I think you may be looking for "The Great Piggy

Bank Robbery," which is a Daffy Duck cartoon that parodies the Dick Tracy series.

[TodayWasAGoodDay9]

That cwazy duck never fails to entertain!

[crazyconan28]

this why i love mustaces

[Liebling05]

@rclaughlin neither does Lorre!

[Liebling05]

This ep and Easter Yeggs are me and my bros' most favorite eps, thanks for posting! And Rabbit of Seville of Course.

[BrainComm487]

I think this might be the first Daffy Duck cartoon I ever saw.

Am I the only one who misses this old, weird, wacky, DAFFY Daffy? Since he got all bitter and cynical, he's lost what made him funny in the first place.

[EATeezey]

@BrainComm487 I agree. I hate that as time went on they changed his character. The original "daffy" Daffy was the best.

[BetaArchiveCommunity]

This was released with original titles ( i think ) on Cartoon Network HD.

[TzeffNL]

nice ending!

[ricsanta1]

@dhpmathmusic You're obviously referring to "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery". My favorite part of that cartoon is the last scene, when Daffy, after waking up from his dream in which he's Duck Twacy, finds himself kissing a female pig. The pig asks him, "Shall we dance?" and kisses him back! Daffy instantly runs away and the pig laughs and ends the cartoon with the line, "I LOVE THAT DUCK!" :-)

[05tonytin]

I love this daffy...chuck jones fucked up his character nasty...

[newson222]

@05tonytin Got that right. Although Daffy is featured in some of Chuck Jones' most critically acclaimed works, he's always portrayed in an ill light. How do you turn a crazy wisecracking duck into a jealous, incompetent a-hole? Smh. His name is Daffy dammit; he's meant to BE that. I think Robert McKimson did his character the most justice...

[PhillT1988]

@05tonytin This! Robert Clampett and Tex Avery for the win

[BigKwell]

@PhillT1988 I think Bob McKimson did the art.

[rclaughlin]

Actually, Bogie doesn't look half bad with a mustache.

[guitarwizard85]

5:48

Handlebar Moustache

hahaha!

[PhillT1988]

Screw you Chuck Jones for ruining Daffy Duck's character

[Oliver30]

@PhillT1988 Hey, don't bee too mad at Chuck. He was a true artist, and argurably the best of the WB directors.

[cumulo25]

I'm a B-b uh b-b-uh booby trap

[JesseG381]

LMAO 2:57 The baby has a Hitler Mustache! XD

[isabelann3493]

THANK YOU!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[LeslieChimes]

Oh man, I miss the zany Daffy!

[jasobres]

I never before saw a Merrie Melodies end title that only said "THE END" instead of "That's all, Folks".

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@jasobres

The other 12 shorts to use this ending were, in order of original theatrical release: Country Mouse (7/13/35), Little Dutch Plate (10/19/35), A Feud There Was (9/24/38), A Day at the Zoo (3/11/39), The Early Worm Gets the Bird (1/13/40), Mighty Hunters (1/27/40), Sniffles Takes a Trip (5/11/40), Wacky Wildlife (11/9/40), The Fighting 69-1/2th (1/18/41), Ain't That Ducky (5/19/45), A Tale of Two Mice (6/30/45) and The Bashful Buzzard (9/15/45).

[SeniorAnonymous]

Never again will i paint another mustache... I'm doin beards now!!

[HeadBangerAust]

Bring back classic cartoons and I might watch Tv

[archangul]

We've all got a miision in life,

We get into different ruts,

Some are the cogs on the wheels,

Others are just plain nuts.

[Iloveshadesofnight]

@Toonreel001 it has my brothers saw it @ their friends house

[cwk12782]

I love when Daffy paints the mustache in the air and Porky runs right into it.

[Chiv4l]

can't compare those classic cartoons with the ones of today...THAT is what cartoons were about!

[Iloveshadesofnight]

Thanks who ever posted this my bothers love this at lest 5 out of seven do

[Rlotpir1972]

5:10 - Porky whispering at the camera: I hate that d-d-duck.

[TurfDr0p]

LOL at 1:44 two of the hands were playing tic tac toe. I never noticed that!

[Bladepaw18]

@5:48 - handlebar mustache (oh the shame of it! lol)

[1958boomergirl]

"It'll be my mathterpieth!" Heeheehee! That duck is a reeeeeeal card!

[neoprankster]

It could be YOU! It could be ME!

[karwilemi]

daffy is awsome..i am old but i grew up on this cartoons and never will stop wachin it !

[Cloud198422]

3:25 check out Bugs. And this is before their official rivalry began.

[MrElectrician59]

My favorite part is when Daffy is by the subway with the paint brush LOL

[hackensac]

Is this a Bob Clampett Cartoon?

[Chicuchica4]

@hackensac a Robert Mckimson cartoon. 1946

[unclegladys]

@dhpmathmusic See " Duck Twacy " It is posted on you tube

[DanRaccoon]

I love Dafty's mad laugh at the beginning X3 WOHOO WOHOO!!

[MrArchangelfilms1]

no dislikes...hmmm....im not surprised

this gem is a classic!

[mypaknodotnet]

I gonna get that ddddddd-dddddd-duck and that's the last thing I do!

Daffy drew every face with a "MUSHTACHE"...

[JimHadar1]

A big thanks for posting this! Has to be my favorite Daffy cartoon. So many classic moments -- "very sporting of the little black duck", the moustache he paints in the air and Porky runs into, and of course the acrobats daughter song, which I find myself humming still today for no apparent reason. Great stuff to which we have no equal today!!!

[travelsonic]

"I hate that du-de-d-duck!". 

[Neinteen91]

I miss my childhood, back when Cartoon Network didn't suck.

[Joemamma69000]

this is the cartoon that began changing Daffy from Crazy to Selfish and Greedy curse you Robert Mckimson

[ToonReel001]

@Joemamma69000 I see mostly only crazy Daffy in this pic (even if he's slightly more witty and 'sane' compared to Tex Avery's original version).

It was arguably more Jones that started the jerk Daffy, Freleng worsened it, if anything McKimson seemed to be slowing the process down as long as he could during the 50s (or at least making him crazy AND greedy eg. Don't Axe Me, Dime To Retire), though granted when he finally reverted to the later Daffy he took it to extremes (eg. Well Worn Daffy).

[Astraldragon1]

The trap would be more convincing if he didn't have his hands holding the picture frame and was not wearing his uniform.

[bjr43]

LOL. "She was an acrobat's daughter, she hung by her teeth from a nuse, but at one matinee, her bridgework gave way, and she flew through the air like a goose.", LOL!

[Tooninoot]

It's a shame that things have to be listed as English these days with cartoons originally created in the language.

[travelsonic]

@Tooninoot Its because a lot of cartoons are being uploaded in other languages and not labeled properly.

[MrElectrician59]

lol this is what I do during break time at work- draw moustaches, full

beards and glasses on the people in the magazines. some people

get mad my favorite part here is when daffy is at the subway

[AlexanderT21]

It could be you! It could be me!

Daffy: But it happens to be ME!

priceless

[travelsonic]

"Never again will I paint another mustache. I'M DOING BEARDS NOW!"

Har

[OrfeoEnajenado]

This is ma FAVORITE Daffy cartoon ever XD

[Chiv4l]

just AWESOME!

remembers me of my time as a kid...

is there actually a name for the song when he's entering the metro at 2:40 ?!

[so2fast4u2]

Imagine talking to the person that did Daffy's voice...@_@ i mean wen he did these cartoons...he's prob dead now...8\

[demskippy]

@so2fast4u2 Google Mel Blanc

[NerdMeech]

hahaha one of my favorite episodes!

[bembu17]

Is it me or is the jury supposed to look like hitler?? Lol

[StormsongK]

@bembu17 They're meant to resemble Jerry Colonna. He was a comedic actor at the time. Among the things he was famous for was the saying, "Ahhh, there's good news tonight!" He was also famous for a song called "Who's Yehudi?" It's on here somewhere.

[tkwtube01]

"Judge, I beseech you. Have mercy! Consider my tender years! Don't send me up the river! Don't send me to Sing Sing... Sing... Sing! Be magnanimous! You might be a fiend yourself someday. Whaddya say, Your Excellency?"

[knowallcity]

Daffy,the original tagger!...and he mentions Rap!.the first hip hop song-wild about Harry??

[LychkovIA]

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! One of my favourite Daffy Duck cartoons. It is from the late 40s, but Daffy is still a screwball!

[avada0]

@LychkovIA I like this crazy version much more, than the tame one.

[LychkovIA]

@avada0 Well, I just cannot stand the greedy version of Daffy. And nowadays they always picture him like that!.. So sad.

[ToonReel001]

@avada0 I have slight preference for the crazy version, though I like a mix of both to an extent. The mid/late 40s were Daffy's high point for me, where he was still a screwball but had developed some sort of sanity and ambition to make him sympathetic. McKimson (who directed this short) actually kept up this version of Daffy for much longer than Jones and Freleng during the 50s.

It's criminal this short hasn't saw a DVD release yet.

[nicholsjoshua15]

@ToonReel001 It is on a DVD a friend of mine has it. 

[OldsVistaCruiser]

I love Carl Stalling's rousing rendition of "42nd Street" at 2:37 - but Daffy's little stunt wouldn't work with today's air-conditioned subway cars!

[eternaldragon345]

"Daffy Doodles", 1946 starring "Classic" Daffy, and co-starring Porky, in an uncommon role as the Antagonist. It was the directorial debut of Bob McKimson for the Loony Toons/Merrie Melodies series.

[Elphaba1975]

Porky looks good with a mustache.

[MWolfL]

5:48 - a real handlebar mustache!! XD

7:00 - Instead of Jerry Colonna it's Jury Colonnas! XD

This is one of the most funny Porky/Daffy cartoons, but of course you can't beat the classics like "Robin Hood Daffy". That whole '"Actually, it's a buck-and-a-quarter quarterstaff, but I'm not telling him that" and then Porky dunking Robin Daffy into the river with a twig' scene is priceless!

[exmortis]

She was an acrobat's daughter,

She swung by her teeth from a noose,

But one matinee,

Her bridgework gave way,

And she flew through the air like a goose!

I cracked up when Daffy sang that just now.

[efxman]

Positively one of my favorite all-time cartoons! It's just funny as hell.:)

[DavidLovins67]

Even the Bugs Bunny poster gets a mustache. This is one of my all-time favorites.

[MWolfL]

@DavidLovins67 Betcha Daffy begged for that to be in the script...either that or he ad-libbed it. XD

[mdumas43073]

"Be magnanimous. You might be a fiend yourself someday!"

[2002rude]

my fave cartoon by this classic duo! it's a ruiot from start to finish!

[Nickcat5]

Daffy Doodles,My Favorite Daffy and Porky cartoon!!!

[timhomer2009]

The baby in the subway looked like a little Hitler.

[dnm72863]

Originally released in April 1946, this is the first cartoon that Bob McKimson directed.

The titles at the opening are a Turner re-edit, comprising the 1956 A.A.P. tag, the 1948-49 Blue Ribbon titles (with the 1939 version of the Merrie Melodies theme, "Merrily We Roll Along"), cutting to the 1953 Blue Ribbon version of the cartoon's title.

The end is the 1953 Blue Ribbon ending with "THE END" where "That's All, Folks!" would normally be.

[ClassicTVMan81]

@dnm72863

The 1948-49 Blue Ribbon opening title tacked on by Turner was taken from the 1952 reissue print of "Inki and the Lion" (July 19, 1941) as I see a production number of #1183.

[KrazyKartoonKid]

The Turner Dubbed Version has the original Blue Ribbon opening title intact.

[Rlotpir1972]

@KrazyKartoonKid Turner RUINED the original opening.

[Rlotpir1972]

@dnm72863 The opening was RUINED!

[SoundwaveX7]

Thanks for posting, I've been trying to find an English version for who knows how long.

[evanymous]

It's fun to spot celebrities in those posters, heh.

[ECO473]

This rocks!!!

[Urilious]

Original version (non blue ribbon) is a Looney Tune

[rklover13]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!

[blacklegsanji1985]

You're welcome!

[SocratesTheGadfly]

STOP!

One more step,

And I'll Jump!

Aaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

I hate that d-d-d-d-Duck!!!

ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!!

[747flagship]

"She was an acrobat's daugher.

She hung by her teeth from a noose.

But one matinee, her bridgework gave way and she flew through the air like a goose." Priceless!

[MWolfL]

@747flagship I wonder if that last line meant that the acrobat's daughter flew south for the winter. ;)

[outlaw2747]

@747flagship That is one of the best lines in cartoon history. Hands down. Classic Daffy!

[Colierrannd2]

@747flagship my favorite song from MMs ever. I sing it constantlly.

[cartoongameshowfan76]

Very sporting of the little black duck!

LOL at Porky Pig's handlebar mustache (with real handlebars!)

[mrnannyfanatic]

this is one of my favs but i think the best moment is when you see daffy going down the mail tube, so funny

[sirbedaveer]

I'm doing beards now! lol

[55megs55]

3:25

daffy drew a moustage on bugs bunny

lol

[NewAndImprovedToons]

Bugs himself has been known to wear fake moustaches, especially when he is disguised as Groucho Marx.

[Namqula]

my favourite episode !

[lola8939]
