History WesternAnimation / DaffyDilly

* ShoutOut: Daffy makes several during his PerpSweating of the butler.
-->"Not so fast, [[Film/MyManGodfrey my man Godfrey]]!"
-->"'Do the old boy in,' you said! '[[Theatre/ArsenicAndOldLace Elderberry wine and old lace]],' you said!"
-->''([[AsideComment to the camera]])'' "Phew! What's Creator/HumphreyBogart got that I ain't got?!"

The cartoon sees Daffy as a struggling sidewalk gag-gift salesman whose fortunes change when he overhears on a storefront radio that multi-millionaire J.B. Cubish is on his deathbed and will offer one million dollars to the first person who successfully manages to make him laugh. Daffy rushes to the tycoon’s mansion, only to discover that he first needs to get past Cubish’s uptight butler.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: A variation. This was among the first cartoons to showcase Daffy’s greedy/jealous down-on-his-luck side. However, unlike in later Jones-directed Daffy shorts, the character still has quite a bit of zany wit and energy about him, and hasn't yet developed into the bitter ButtMonkey he would be later on.

"Daffy Dilly" is a 1948 ''WesternAnimation/MerrieMelodies'' short directed by Creator/ChuckJones, starring WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck.

The near-complete cartoon was edited into the start of 1988's ''WesternAnimation/DaffyDucksQuackbusters'', which acts as a feature-length extension of ''Daffy Dilly''.

* PlotHole: Lampshaded and exploited. The butler for whatever reason doesn't want Daffy in the house to entertaining his master despite him publically inviting people to do such. Daffy ends up putting him on the spot for this and plants a convoluted TheButlerDidIt conspiracy on him. While the real reason, besides possible snobbishness, is never elaborated, Daffy's is so convincing that the butler starts to believe it.

* ManipulativeBastard: Daffy on-the-fly plants a TheButlerDidIt accusation over why the butler is so vehement on Daffy not meeting his master and trying to cure him. Whatever the butler's real motive is, Daffy's PerpSweating is so menacing and elaborate that even ''he'' starts to believe it and is convinced to make a hasty getaway.

This cartoon, along with “You Were Never Duckier” (also released in 1948), is notable for featuring an early example of the greedy/scheming Daffy, a characterization which Chuck Jones would further refine in later cartoons. It's also one of a handful of 1948–49 WB cartoons made in Cinecolor rather than Technicolor, as well as one of five post–1948 shorts to get a "Blue Ribbon" reissue (with the long version of the 1941–55 “Merrily We Roll Along” theme and its title card removed).
