Did anyone notice that "Porky loves Petunia" is written on the wall at 7:39? Also, I see a date written on the wall at that time, is that some kind of an inside joke at Warner bro's?
If Daffy hadn't been changed he would probably not have lasted as a character. "Screwball" characters were on their way out by the late '40s, and Daffy was already toned down by the time Clampett made "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery." Chuck Jones just gets blamed for changing Daffy because he found something to do with the character to keep him going through the '50s.
The manager won't let them leave the hotel until they pay off their bill. Some may wonder what's so bad about them having to stay at the hotel? Well, they have to stay there but they're not going to get any luxuries like room service or gourmet meals. At the end, it doesn't look like they're getting heat, either.
I completely and totally agree with the comments about Daffy being at his best here. I even liked him when he was a "greedy craven little coward", but I hated that he was changed into the character he is now. Thanks to kayokango who revealed that Chuck Jones was the one who changed Daffy. This episodes (and similar ones) was how I loved Daffy, and it's a shame that the changes were made. I liked some of Chuck Jones' work, but his changing Daffy was not one of them.
I'm torn, because Jones's Daffy IS an incredibly funny character, and also probably one of the richest ever to come out of the studio. But I just find the lighthearted, wacky Daffy much more likeable as a character.
The only good thing, to me, about that HORRIBLE Looney Tunes Back In Action movie a few years ago, was the fact that they were very obviously trying to combine elements of the two different conceptions of Daffy.
@Marbles471 I actually liked that movie somewhat; I agree with you now that I think about it, regarding your apt assessment of the cartoonists combining elements of the two different conceptions of Daffy (maybe trying to please everyone; never a good idea), and I respect your opinion of the movie being horrible. For me, one good thing came from that movie: I discovered Junior Senior's "Move Your Feet", and fell in love with that song. Jones' greedy craven coward Daffy is fun, though, but rare.
@Diamondfist1 I liked "Looney Tunes: Back in Action", too, as well as "Space Jam". I'll admit, I liked Jones' later cartoons with Daffy, but I thought McKimson was doing some good Daffy cartoons as well. Even though he was like Jones' character in a few of them, McKimson kept some of Daffy's "screwball" elements in a couple of the cartoons (he began to have the same intelligence level like Bugs starting with "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery" and "Daffy Doodles", Robert McKimson's first WB cartoon).
Yup... all hotels, living or dead... are entirely coincidental. Like all references to fictional mobsters- pruny or otherwise- are entirely NOT coincidental.
They should've never let Chuck Jones change who Daffy was, he was perfect as a free spirited nut job(who actually lived up to his namesake). This cartoon represents Daffy Duck at his very best.
@kayokango no - this is the original Daffy Duck as he should be, but NOT at his best. here he loses, but classic Daffy always wins & owns everyone (check out the cartoon Daffy Doodles where he paints moustaches. that's Daffy at his peak)
sorry about that, I didn't mean to sound like I was saying that Daffy's prime was just for one cartoon. I guess what I ment was that I feel that back when Daffy actually acted well....daffy, he was in his prime.
my fave is "To Duck or not to duck" (the boxing match with Elmer), IMO that the one where he totally owns :D Bugs Bunny would SO lose to this version of him :D
I've no idea what kinda idiot decided to change him to his "modern" version (where he lost his daffiness, and became more of a "Sneaky Duck" - not to mention a constant loser)
@kayokango chuck created looney tunes, it was the society that changed it. they wanted to make it more kid friendly and not so violent (although i grew up on the violent tom and jerry, looney tunes, and popeye. i hated all the campy newer ones, it took the art away)
Raymond Scott - Powerhouse @ 4:15 , this would be the first commercial usage of the tune (first of many). Such an amazing composition, which still is amazing today.
Ummmm Did Daffy just say "Yeah, Bugs Bunny, my hero!" even though he has antagonized Bugs years later? Man that is messed up!

$152 in 1943 would probably be close to $1000 today. I'd have skipped on that bill too.
