Holiday For Drumsticks (1949)

[WWEChampion16]

LOL! Daffy's look at 5:24!

[supermandisco]

I just saw Pixar's UP. Made me sick. All that technology and no real funny slapstick. What a waste of cartoon animation just for the sake of how its technically achieved. Give me Bugs Bunny any day, his humor never goes out of style.

0:50,shooting gallery.

[ivanclaysburgh]

4:50 "At first, I was like -_- and then I put on my rape face OvO."

[Ivanatis]

incestuous bunch..

[baxterfilms]

@legion999: But Daffy wanted food in the first place, so Tom is getting revenge.

[G4m30v]

@baxterfilms well, bear in mind that Daffy SWINDLED the turkey out of good honest food. I may have pointed that out in an earlier comment.

[legion999]

Thomas is an ungrateful jerk. Daffy, in the end, did save his life, and how does Thomas repay him? By guiding him straight to the oven. Uncool.

[vidform]

I think the little husband looks like Osama Bin Laden.

[legion999]

Man, wouldn't it make more sense for the farmers to eat all that delicious looking food than wasting it all on a turkey?

[rosrychaplet]

of course in the uncut version i could've sworn that daffy did the hide part to the turkey first!

[katinaanimator]

@rosrychaplet

The Daffy cartoon WOULD have been better if there WAS a "hide" part with the turkey first, but I don't think it was ever there. I think we just "remember" it being there because it SHOULD be there. I'll bet that in an early draft of this cartoon, Daffy did the hide thing to the turkey first. It just seems like when the turkey does it, he's getting revenge on Daffy for doing the same thing. But Daffy's right: he DOES save Thomas from being killed. It makes Thomas's "revenge" odd.

[G4m30v]

@katinaanimator Considering the fact Daffy SWINDLED the turkey out of good honest food, that's saying something...

[rockerseven]

@rosrychaplet yeah, i remember there was a sequence where daffy was trying to hide thomas...which makes thomas' hide sequence make more sense, cause he was getting back at daffy for doing all the same stuff to him

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

*BANG!!!*

"Coffee's poured."

[battybuddy]

This ending was always my favorite.

[chinzebo]

Doncha jes LOVE Daffy!!

[Gundamknight100]

Good Cartoon to watch during this holiday.

[phillygrl69]

@Gundamknight100 I know!! Doesnt it just get ya in that thanksgiving mood?! God Bless!

[lindenmeadow]

These old cartoons were great. Too bad they just don't make 'em like they used to...

[supermandisco]

Why were cartoons better in the stone ages than the so called modern computer age? Huh, huh, huh??

[lindenmeadow]

@supermandisco Yes, I think that, as a general rule, they were bette back then!

[looneytunes9000]

@supermandisco Because of how new cartoons are afraid of crack (a.k.a cigars,cigarettes),sex, and mostly racism and the gags!

[Stinkface2]

@supermandisco Because these ones were done with sweat tears and blood. Its like the artists soul is infused into each cell of the cartoon. Unlike now where is copied or done on the computer and colored.

[LadyDeirdre]

@supermandisco Because these cartoons were produced before focus groups, political correctness and especially parental watchdogs went mad (not that the Hayes code was exactly generous), and well before the concept of animation=kids only became entrenched in public consciousness.

[rockerseven]

@supermandisco because people back then actually had talent, as opposed to today where "animators" quickly put together a crappy cartoon and then add CGI to mask the fact that what youre watching is complete shit

[glowworm2]

Classic! Love when Daffy and the turkey swap weights.

[G4m30v]

I was begninning to believe and still believe with this particular Daffy Duck outing that Daffy was, in fact, not helping the turkey to lose weight, but SWINDLING him out of his food. And that the turkey's attempts of "hiding" Daffy were merely for revenge. Wouldn't anyone agree with me?

[skyblaze10001]

you can see the weight gain start at 3:05

[fromthesidelines]

Originally released in January 1949, and one of Art Davis' masterpieces. 

[TheWeatherman1987]

1.33 What are the tally marks for?

[1TahTah]

All of the times He hit his intended target.

[WWEChampion16]

Daffy is entering the SS Cooked Duck!

[masternachos]

I saw 1:05 on Mythbusters!

[Xwingpilot]

Boy, I just so loved this episode when I was little

[4sh70nGal]

lol the turkey is all skin and bones and daffy is really fat. =]

[missemm81]

This is really from the 40s?! It always amazes me how old these are and how good they look for that time. :)

[burlycut]

"You will soon be surrounded by cranberries and friends!" LOL x 10, Today is Thanksgiving. I have to watch this episode every Thanksgiving! Looney Tunes 4eva, superstars! Happy Thanksgiving!

[DKrules9]

I love how Daffy acts all drunk as he's entering the oven.

[metallooney]

I love the ending!!!!!

[kempowarrior]

correction,

got to love the way the turkey look at 5:31

[kempowarrior]

Got to look the way the Turkey smile when Daffy ask him to hide him at 5:31 = )

[eNeEGee70]

"Pa" gave a pretty goofy look at 4:52 too.

[MingTheMerciful]

@;07 so much food, why bother eating the turkey lol

[JulieLovesOTH]

I know! And did you notice how they were feeding Thomas the Turkey mainly meat? Haha, just funny.

[kempowarrior]

I definitely agree! = ) Plus the Turkey does Not taste that Good either. I rather have chicken or even better a Duck for Thanksgiving = )

But it is an American Tradition that we have Turkey as the main course for Thanksgiving Dinner!

[PandaMishima]

@kempowarrior

hey, get a turducken and get the best of them all ;-)
