* ChekhovsGag: During Daffy's version of the below song, at one point, his reflection joins in. At the very end of the cartoon, when Egghead finally catches him, this same reflection rescues him from Egghead.

Added DiffLines:

* AmusinglyAwfulAim: Egghead tries to shoot Daffy, with Daffy teasing him by putting an apple over his head a la Myth/WilliamTell. However, Egghead misses every single shot, even as Daffy steps closer with each shot. When Egghead misses at ''point-blank range'', Daffy puts sunglasses on him, hangs a sign that reads "blind" around his neck, hands him some pencils to sell, and walks away sighing, "Too bad."

Added DiffLines:

* ExplodingCigar: Averted. Egghead gets a cigar from Daffy [[ItMakesSenseInContext as a prize for shooting a turtle]]. Viewers may expect Egghead to light up the cigar, resulting in this trope. But he doesn't; he throws away the cigar in disgust and continues pursuit of Daffy.


Added DiffLines:

* TreeCover: Parodied when Egghead wonders aloud about any other hunters being present. Several pop out from the background from both a tree and the tall grass to answer Egghead affirmatively.
* UndesirablePrize: The cigar Daffy gives Egghead for shooting the turtle during their duel. Egghead throws it away instead of smoking it.

screwy Squirrel is being merged into The Prankster per TRS.


The one short that practically kicked off the ScrewySquirrel-type cartoon, [[Creator/TexAvery "Fred" Avery's]] "Daffy Duck and Egghead", a [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Merrie Melodies]] short from [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation January 1, 1938]], while not the first [[WesternAnimation/PorkysDuckHunt in which Daffy Duck appears]], ''is'' the first one in which Daffy is named, the first one in which Elmer Fudd (or rather, a prototypical version of him named Egghead) goes hunting, and the prime example of early WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck at his daffiest. Full of great gags, a song from Daffy and perfect pacing, it's a classic short to behold.

Added DiffLines:

* TheCoverChangesTheMeaning: The original "Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" implies the Merry-Go-Round broke by simply not stopping and was otherwise an enjoyable extra long ride, Daffy's version implies the Merry-Go-Round began spinning faster and faster and faster and being stuck on it drove him mad.
