--->Never mind joining ''me'', I'll join ''you''. Shake hands with Friar Duck.

** Daffy swings alongside Porky while trying to convince Porky he really IS Robin Hood, only to slam back-first into the tree.

'''Daffy''': Oh, no...\\
* WHAM!*\\

-->'''Daffy:''' But honest and truly, I '''am''' Robin Hood! ''[[WatchOutForThatTree [runs smack into a tree]]]''\\

* WatchOutForThatTree: While trying to dramatically swing through the forest, Daffy [[OverlyLongGag seems to hit every tree in the way]]. "Yoiks... and away!" *CRASH* "Yoiks... and... away!" *CRASH* "Yoeeks...and...uhhwaaay" *CRASH*

* RuleOfThree: Daffy's beak. [[labelnote:spoiler]]It becomes "four" if you count the first time when he smacks himself in the face; but the beak snaps up three times on its own.[[/labelnote]]

* MusicalisInterruptus: Daffy does this to himself by mistake during his intro song, while he sings about "tripping along merrily", he manages to trip down a slope and into a pond, interrupting his song. He manages to finish the line once he pops back up out of the water.

* CallingYourAttacks: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cuihrjLNAo Ho! Ha ha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha! THRUST!]]" [[spoiler:Beak Snap!]]

'''"Robin Hood Daffy"''' is a 1958 ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' Animated Short starring WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck which, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin as the title implies]], casts the acerbic-but-always-lovable fowl in the role of the legendary bandit RobinHood. The plot involves Daffy's [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption inevitably inept]] attempts to prove his identity to an aloof friar (played by WesternAnimation/PorkyPig), by stealing a bag of gold from a wealthy traveller.

* InformedAbility: In-Universe. Among other things, the opening credits are displayed by flags on arrows which are shot into a bulls-eye, sequentially, each one right into the shaft of the preceding. At the end the camera pulls back to reveal that [[spoiler:Daffy has been shooting the arrows from ONE INCH AWAY]].
