| 8 | WesternAnimation/BugsBunny and WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck, the two protagonists who are best friends and roommates. |
| 9 | ---- |
| 10 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the original shorts, they are frenemies with Daffy openly disliking and antagonizing Bugs. In this show, they are friends, if still [[VitriolicBestBuds vitriolic]], and Daffy no longer tries to sabotage Bugs' success. |
| 11 | * ButtMonkey: Unlike the original shorts (where Daffy was the only ButtMonkey and Bugs the InvincibleHero), in this show, both [[KarmicButtMonkey Daffy]] ''and'' [[OnlySaneMan Bugs]] can be often unlucky, and suffer slapstick and misfortunes, though Bugs is also very often portrayed as being BornLucky while Daffy mostly just has bad luck. |
| 12 | * CharacterExaggeration: In the original shorts, the main difference between them is that Bugs thinks before acting, while Daffy acts before thinking, that's why he always loses. In this show, this is exaggerated to the point that Bugs is a genius who even wins a Nobel Prize, while Daffy is an idiot who can't even write his own name. |
| 13 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: They live in the same house, often act LikeAnOldMarriedCouple, and they both have declared the other their best friend. |
| 14 | * InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Mostly Daffy, who suffers from serious gender confusion. However, both of the them are shown cross-dressing quite a few times. |
| 15 | * OddFriendship: They are total opposites. As revealed in the first episode, Bugs doesn't quite understand how he tolerates Daffy, but the two are best friends. |
| 16 | * RedOniBlueOni: As usual, Daffy serves as the impulsive, overacting, and obnoxious Red Oni, while Bugs is the calm, cool, and intelligent Blue Oni. |
| 17 | * StraightManAndWiseGuy: Oddly enough, Bugs is placed in the serious StraightMan role in this show, and acts like a normal person would react to Daffy's antics. |
| 18 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Although they have a different dynamic than usual. In the classic shorts, Daffy finds Bugs annoying, while Bugs is usually indifferent or amused by Daffy's attitude. In this show, Bugs is the one who is always annoyed by Daffy. |
| 19 | * WithFriendsLikeThese: Daffy is a very rude, selfish, and inconsiderate friend who is always mooching off Bugs and taking advantage of him. |

| 25 | |
| 26 | WesternAnimation/BugsBunny lives a life of upper-middle-class suburban leisure, based off residual income from a popular Carrot Peeler that he invented. He lives in a well-appointed house, drives a compact car, and provides room and board for his friend, Daffy Duck. |
| 27 | ---- |
| 28 | * TheAce: In earlier episodes, he's quite true to his roots, where he even wins the Nobel Prize. Later episodes have made his flaws more explicit. |
| 29 | * AccidentalCelebrity: In ''Monster Talent'', he accidentally becomes famous for saying a line in Speedy’s commercial, which he didn’t even want to be in. |
| 30 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: |
| 31 | ** He has always been an intelligent character in classic cartoons, but more in a nonchalant StreetSmart way. In this show, he is apparently an academic genius and a ScienceHero who won the Nobel Prize. |
| 32 | ** In this show, he manages to outsmart Cecil Turtle, something he always failed to do in classic cartoons. |
| 33 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: Downplayed. Bugs in this show is more of a Deconstruction of his classic persona. A irreverent wise guy who is also calm and collected would likely be an easygoing but snarky NiceGuy if he lived in the suberbs. He is less of a KarmicTrickster then he was in the original shorts but he still shows he has his moments particularly in ''Casa de Calma'' and ''Customer Service''. |
| 34 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: To Daffy, but it's downplayed compared to the original shorts. Daffy's jealousy of him only comes up a few times, like in the bowling episode where he's upset about everyone liking Bugs more than him. |
| 35 | * AmbiguouslyJewish: Less so than in other adaptations, but the accent's still there. |
| 36 | * AttractiveBentGender: When he disguises himself as a woman, Daffy, Speedy, and Cecil all find him very attractive. Although, Lola thought he was an ugly woman. |
| 37 | * BestFriend: He has been called "best friend" by Daffy (several times), Yosemite Sam ("Mr. Wiener"), and [[OneShotCharacter Rodney Rabbit]] ("Best Friends Redux"). |
| 38 | -->'''Yosemite Sam:''' I need the emotional support. You're my best friend.\ |
| 39 | '''Bugs:''' What?!\ |
| 40 | '''Yosemite Sam:''' Nothing. I, I didn't say nothing. |
| 41 | * BornLucky: Bugs [[ChickMagnet attracts beautiful women]] and does great at almost everything he does. He’s also [[GadgeteerGenius brilliant enough that he can build a time machine]], and [[LovedByAll practically everyone who meets him instantly loves him]]. Also, since he invented the carrot peeler, he gets royalty checks and is able to live a comfortable upper middle-class life and support Daffy without a job. This is downplayed in season 2, due to all the slapstick and misfortune he suffers, as seen in TheChewToy, though he still has his lucky moments. |
| 42 | * BrutalHonesty: At times. |
| 43 | -->'''Daffy:''' ''[after he watches a basketball game]'' That's it! I figured it out! I finally know what I'm going to do with my life: be a professional basketball player!\ |
| 44 | '''Bugs:''' You're three and a half feet tall.\ |
| 45 | '''Daffy:''' ''[groans]'' You know, you're a real dream killer. I hope you don't ever have children. |
| 46 | * ButtMonkey: Occasionally a victim of this, due to being the OnlySaneMan, though he has much better luck than [[KarmicButtMonkey Daffy]] and Porky. |
| 47 | * CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: Lola annoys him to no end, but he becomes distraught when he believes she broke up with him in one episode. He also gets jealous when she pretends to show interest in Daffy. He also feels the same way about Daffy. Even though Daffy drives Bugs nuts with his stupidity, rudeness, and selfishness, he makes Bugs’ life more interesting, and in ''Here Comes The Pig'', he grows bored when Daffy’s not around. |
| 48 | * CelebrityIsOverrated: In ''Monster Talent'', he becomes famous for saying a line in Speedy’s commercial, but he almost immediately gets sick of it since everyone who sees him pesters him to say his line. |
| 49 | * CharacterCatchphrase: Do we really need to say it? |
| 50 | * CharacterExaggeration: Inverted. His KarmicTrickster shtick is extremely played down, leaving him as the snarky StraightMan. |
| 51 | * TheChewToy: A [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] case. While he's one of the show's favorite targets for slapstick, it also doesn't focus much on it. He becomes a bigger example in some episodes of season 2, where we see him getting punched in the stomach by Yosemite Sam (who was trying to give him the Heimlich maneuver), getting hit by Porky in his car, getting lost in the desert, being violently catapulted against a car, being imprisoned for one year, and undergoing SanitySlippage a couple of times. |
| 52 | * ChickMagnet: Lola is crazy about him, he manages to win over a famous actress in "Casa de Calma", two women kiss him on the cheeks in “Reunion”, and we see two other women fighting over him in "Eligible Bachelors". |
| 53 | * CloudcuckoolandersMinder: When the series begins, this is his dynamic for Daffy. He manages to pass that duty off to Tina, only to end up as ''Lola's'' minder. |
| 54 | * DeadpanSnarker: Especially towards Daffy. |
| 55 | * DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: The series does show how a character like Bugs would be like if he lived in modern day suburbia. He would likely be more of an everyday, easygoing but snarky NiceGuy. It also points out that Bugs would less likely to be as calm and collected in a more advanced society where he is not up against gullible idiots like in the old cartoons. |
| 56 | * FamedInStory: He’s famous for many impressive past achievements, such as being a movie star, a football player, an astronaut, etc. He’s also treated like a celebrity in ''Monster Talent'' after saying a line in Speedy’s commercial. |
| 57 | * FatalFlaw: His biggest flaw is that he tends to have an addictive personality. Several episodes focus on Bugs getting hooked on something, such as energy drinks. Though the energy drink example is somewhat justified since it was deliberately made to be addictive. Ironically, Bugs became addicted to the energy drink because his doctor thought he was addicted to coffee due to his fast heartbeat. The doctor later admitted he made a mistake when he learned rabbits are ''supposed'' to have fast heartbeats. |
| 58 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Phlegmatic/Leukine. |
| 59 | * FriendToAllChildren: Has shades of this that is mostly seen with his relationship with Gossamer. |
| 60 | * GadgeteerGenius: In ''Peel of Fortune'', he builds a time machine, in less than a minute. |
| 61 | * GreenEyedEpiphany: Had this when Lola pretended to have a crush on [[ItMakesAsMuchSenseInContext Daffy]]. He tries to get her attention, call her pretty, and winds up insisting that ''he'' is her boyfriend, which prompts her to tell him to repeat that. He refuses, but it's okay, [[CrazyPrepared because she got the whole thing on tape]]. |
| 62 | * TheHero: Even moreso in this adaptation. |
| 63 | * InformedAttractiveness: Whenever Bugs is cross-dressing, other characters are bound to comment on whether they consider him attractive or ugly. His girlfriend, Lola, always believes he looks like an ugly woman while he gets some head-turning reactions from male characters like Daffy and Cecil. In one episode, Speedy falls in love with one of his female dance class students (Bugs in disguise) and even bought an engagement ring, and he becomes heartbroken when he realizes she’s actually Bugs. |
| 64 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: Downplayed since it doesn't happen often, but whenever he interacts with Witch Lezah, he tends to bring up witch stereotypes that she immediately shoots down, reminiscent of someone asking slightly racist questions out of ignorance rather than malice. Like when she asked him to babysit Gossamer: |
| 65 | -->'''Bugs:''' Where are you going?\ |
| 66 | '''Lezah:''' To the fifth dimension.\ |
| 67 | '''Bugs:''' Ooh, is that where you're from?\ |
| 68 | '''Lezah:''' What!? Honey, I'm from Chicago! (...) I was wondering if you could babysit at MY house.\ |
| 69 | '''Bugs:''' I've never stayed at a haunted house before.\ |
| 70 | '''Lezah:''' You make a LOT of assumptions. |
| 71 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: To Lola. When she mistakenly believes that he broke up with her in "Dear John", she is so distraught that she decides to leave to a Buddhist monastery. |
| 72 | * LovedByAll: Bugs is instantly adored by almost everyone he meets. In ''Monster Talent'', Daffy claims that Bugs was born with friends and that he “has too many friends”, and everyone in town loves him for saying one line in Speedy’s commercial, with Speedy saying he chose Bugs for the role because he has a “likability factor” that makes people want to party with him. Lola fell madly in love with him after one date with him, and Lola’s parents liked him so much after meeting him for ''a few seconds'' that they were perfectly fine with Lola wanting to marry him, with Walter calling Bugs the son he never had. In ''To Bowl or Not to Bowl'', Daffy expresses jealousy that everyone likes Bugs more than him and thinks he’s better-looking, smarter, and more talented than him. |
| 73 | * MasterOfDisguise: As always. He often disguises himself as a woman, and it fools everyone who sees him (though Lola thought he was an ugly woman). |
| 74 | * MundaneMadeAwesome: In ''Monster Talent'', everyone acts like Bugs saying “I like it” is the most amazing thing in the world. |
| 75 | * MustHaveCaffeine: Bugs is usually shown with a cup of coffee every morning. One episode revolves around him having to stay off the stuff for a while, [[AddictionDisplacement instead getting addicted to an energy drink called Spargle]]. After ''that'' becomes a problem, Dr. Weisberg tells him that one cup is alright... [[ExactWords although the size of the cup was never specified]]. |
| 76 | * MythologyGag: His birthday is July 27. That day in 1940 ''WesternAnimation/AWildHare'' was released. |
| 77 | * NiceGuy: He's snarky, but Bugs is one of the easiest characters to get along with. |
| 78 | * NotSoAboveItAll: |
| 79 | ** He's not without his foibles. He can be just as obsessive as Daffy, and [[InsufferableGenius unwilling to admit when he's wrong or has made a mistake]]. |
| 80 | ** He's surprisingly not good with do-it-yourself carpentry, considering all the failure coming from trying to build a shelf. |
| 81 | ** He seems to be only person in the entire world who did not know on [[IdiotBall first sight that Poochie is not a dog]]. |
| 82 | ** A recurring theme in the earlier episodes is that Bugs has led such a charmed life that he finds a lot of stuff ordinary people dread to be fascinating. This includes high school reunions, office jobs, and even prison. Needless to say, the people with him in those environments do not share his enthusiasm. |
| 83 | * OfficialCouple: With Lola Bunny as of "Double Date", when he finally grows out of his ShesNotMyGirlfriend phase, and admits they have a relationship. |
| 84 | * OnlyFriend: In the first episode, Bugs is said to be Daffy’s only friend. However, Daffy starts hanging out with Porky, too, shortly after this. |
| 85 | * OnlySaneMan: Easily the sanest, smartest person on the show, though even he has his irrational moments. |
| 86 | * RighteousRabbit: Bugs has a high sense of morality in this series. |
| 87 | * SanitySlippage: His caffeine addiction makes him extremely energetic and jittery. When he tries to kick his caffeine addiction, he just winds up hooked on [[GRatedDrug Spargle]], which turns him into a paranoid junkie. |
| 88 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Savvy Guy to Lola's Energetic Girl. He's the grounded OnlySaneMan to Lola's insane GenkiGirl. |
| 89 | * ScienceHero: He hardly ever uses that skill set, but it's there. |
| 90 | * ShesNotMyGirlfriend: He went through a stage like this with Lola. Eventually she tricked him into a relationship. |
| 91 | * SitcomCharacterArchetypes: Square, Wisecracker and Sage. |
| 92 | * StraightMan: He is a serious foil to the wackiness of most people he interacts with, especially Daffy and Lola. He has also played this role for Yosemite Sam and occasionally Porky. |
| 93 | * SupportingProtagonist: In season 1 because Daffy has major spotlight. He gets more screentime and plots to himself in season 2. |
| 94 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Carrots, as always. Coffee seems to be his favorite drink. |

| 97 | [[folder:Daffy Duck]] |
| 98 | [[quoteright:335:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daffy_duck_current_3425.jpg]] |
| 99 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JeffBergman [[labelnote:'''Other Languages''']]Patrick Guillemin (French, 1st voice), Creator/EmmanuelGarijo (French, 2nd voice), Creator/IrwinDaayan (Latin American Spanish), Creator/WataruTakagi (Japanese)[[/labelnote]] |
| 100 | |
| 101 | WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck is the roommate of Bugs Bunny. Unlike Bugs and their neighbors, Daffy has no way of earning money and relies on Bugs for food and shelter. While Daffy's greed and jealousy of Bugs remains, it appears less antagonistic in the show. |
| 102 | ---- |
| 103 | * AchievementsInIgnorance: He willingly signed up for the Marines and made it completely through training despite ''completely misunderstanding'' what the Marines actually were. |
| 104 | * AcrophobicBird: Despite being a bird that, for all intents and purposes, should be able to fly, he never does so, except once when he went paragliding. On a side note, he can't swim either. This is lampshaded in the episode "We're in Big Truffle". At one point, Porky and Daffy are chased up a tree by a bear, and Porky requests that Daffy fly them to safety. Daffy says that he can't fly, to which Porky points out that he's a duck, only for Daffy to say that he's not that kind of duck. Then Porky finds out that Daffy can't swim, and we get this... |
| 105 | -->'''Porky:''' You c-c-c-can't ''fly'', you c-c-c-can't ''swim''... ARE YOU EVEN A D-D-D-DUCK AT ALL?!\ |
| 106 | '''Daffy:''' I'm not sure. ''[points at beak]'' This comes off very easily. ''[takes off beak to prove his point]'' |
| 107 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: While his SmallNameBigEgo and AttentionWhore traits are mostly the same, there are also some differences: |
| 108 | ** He is a good deal more effeminate and less book-smart than his counterpart from the original cartoons. |
| 109 | ** He's a great deal less malicious in his jealousy of Bugs, with most of their conflict stemming not from Daffy actively trying to sabotage Bugs but more from the fact that he's [[ItsAllAboutMe so self-absorbed]] and looking for an easy road to success that his hijinks often get Bugs or Porky sucked into them. |
| 110 | ** One of his defining traits in this show is being a LazyBum, something he took from the ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers'' series, but Daffy was actually an eager {{Determinator}} in the classic shorts. |
| 111 | * AdaptationalDumbass: In the original shorts - at least, [[DependingOnTheWriter in his most iconic personalities]] - he was fairly intelligent and clever, but occasionally gullible and was often defeated due to his greed, angrier side, and selfishness. His lazy and idiot sides show a lot more here, as well as his ignorance. For example, the 1961 short "The Abominable Snow Rabbit" shows him being more knowledgeable than Bugs about geography and being annoyed by the latter's ignorance, while in this show he's more BookDumb than Bugs about ''everything''. |
| 112 | * AllTakeAndNoGive: Downplayed. Many of his relationships (especially with Bugs and Porky, mostly the latter) often involve making them do all his dirty work and chores without so much as a reward or compensation, particularly in "The Float". However, several of his PetTheDog moments involve him trying to give something (e.g. he seems willing to share a truffle with Porky in "We're in Big Truffle" and he later risks losing it to save his life). |
| 113 | * AntiHero: Usually. Sometimes crosses the line into VillainProtagonist. |
| 114 | * TheAntiNihilist: On the occasions where he acts particularly crazy. He can sometimes go on whimsical rants about how worthless someone/something is while displaying a cheerful attitude about it. [[JustIgnoreIt Not that anyone acknowledges him doing it]]. |
| 115 | * AntiRoleModel: Daffy is an idiot, a very rude and selfish person, an egomaniac, he has terrible hygiene and abysmal [[SweetTooth eating habits]], he’s an unemployed LazyBum who mooches off his friends, and he often commits crimes, such as theft and impersonating a police officer. Clearly he’s not someone the audience is meant to emulate. |
| 116 | * AthleticallyChallenged: He is absolutely terrible at most sports, like basketball, running, or any physical exercise. Oddly enough, he's shown to be a decent tennis player in "Father Figures" (especially compared to Lola and her father), even though in the previous episode "Members Only" he was bad at this sport too. |
| 117 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: It seems Daffy has a severe case of this. |
| 118 | * AttentionWhore: As usual. |
| 119 | * AxCrazy: They don't call him ''Daffy'' Duck for nothing, and brother, trust us when we say that he would put the original iteration of Daffy ''to shame.'' |
| 120 | * BestFriend: |
| 121 | ** To Bugs, as Daffy openly describes Bugs as his best friend, something he would never do in classic cartoons. Bugs also admits Daffy is his best friend in the pilot, that's why he lets him live in house and tolerates his freeloading. |
| 122 | ** To Porky. While Daffy is usually mean or even abusive to him, some season 2 episodes show that Daffy cares about their friendship deep down, and at the end of "Best Friend Redux", Daffy admits that Porky is his second best friend. On the other hand, Porky is extremely patient and always treats Daffy as a close friend, despite the latter's horrible behavior. |
| 123 | * BigEater: He apparently eats ribs covered in marshmallows and tops it with layers of powdered sugar for dinner every night. |
| 124 | * BrilliantButLazy: On occasion, he reveals he can be genuinely competent at a job, but for one reason or another he decides to give it up and revert to being lazy. |
| 125 | * BrutalHonesty: He often has literally no issues speaking his mind, which has been lampshaded several times. It also drives everyone crazy except for Foghorn Leghorn, who sees him as an HonestAdvisor. |
| 126 | -->'''Bugs:''' Hey, Daffy, look! Poochy's back.\ |
| 127 | '''Daffy:''' Oh, did he go somewhere? Was it the [[DownInTheDumps dump]]? He smells like he went to the dump. |
| 128 | * CampStraight: There is a RunningGag that he has feminine traits, like enjoying handbags, wearing heels, or being a good hairdresser and cosmetologist. However, he is in a relationship with Tina. |
| 129 | * ChaoticStupid: It seems in place of the adversarial or malicious roles he played in the old shorts, this time around, he's just so damned stupid and self-absorbed that his antics are almost guaranteed to cause some form of mayhem to someone, [[ButtMonkey typically Porky and/or Bugs]]. |
| 130 | * CharacterDevelopment: In Season 2, while still kinda jerkish, he has more [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold redeeming qualities]] than the first season. |
| 131 | * TheChewToy: DownplayedTrope, particularly compared to the original shorts. While this cartoon doesn't focus much on slapstick, when it does, Daffy is often the show's favorite target. |
| 132 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Has bizarre fantasies, opinions and random whims. |
| 133 | * ComedicSociopathy: Most of his self-absorbed antics are PlayedForLaughs. |
| 134 | * CompositeCharacter: He's somewhat of a mix of his original depiction as an absolutely bonkers duck and his more scheming depiction when he later co-starred with Bugs. From his earlier form, he is obviously ''not'' of sound mind, and in fact is possibly even ''more'' insane than he ever was in the original shorts. On the other, he's [[ItsAllAboutMe incredibly greedy and self-absorbed]], and always scheming for a plan to get him fame or fortune in one form or another. Also, while [[BookDumb academics are not his strong point]], he is shown to be remarkably intelligent on certain niche topics, and can come up with some impressively clever (if sometimes overly complicated) schemes on his own. |
| 135 | * ConsummateLiar: As revealed in "Reunion" he's be able to make up ridiculous lies right on the spot and tell them with complete conviction. Unlike most examples of this trope, however, he doesn't manage his ability very well—he has to take Bugs to the reunion with him to keep track of all the lies he's told to different people, since they all contradict each other. |
| 136 | * CreepyCrossdresser: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig Zagged]] with WholesomeCrossdresser. He crossdresses and uses female mannerisms very frequently, and honestly, he pulls it off well, but the "creepy" part comes in not from his appearance, but from the fact that this is still Daffy we're talking about, with all of his antics and behaviour included. |
| 137 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Though he is a lying, idiotic coward, Daffy is in fact a former U.S Marine and was sent in on a mission to rescue American prisoners of war from a foreign camp, and when he attempted to apply for a job at an internet service provider, he was told he was ''over''qualified, due to having been a former CEO. |
| 138 | * TheDitz: Like Lola, though not ''quite'' as much as her, he has his ditzy moments. In “Eligible Bachelors”, for example, he repeatedly asks Granny if she died while she was telling him her experience in World War II. He apparently doesn't know who Superman is, either. |
| 139 | * DreadfulMusician: He attempts to learn to play the piano in "The Grand Old Duck of York", and he is '''awful'''. The only way Granny, his teacher, can stand being around him is when is using headphones to block out the noise. Sylvester loses the will to try and eat Tweety, who walks inside of Sylvester's mouth to escape Daffy's playing. In the end, she gives him a gold star just to get rid off him. |
| 140 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: As shown in "DMV". |
| 141 | * DumbassHasAPoint: As dumb as Daffy is, he still makes valid points every so often. |
| 142 | ** In "Devil Dog", he learns that what Bugs thinks is a dog is really a Tasmanian Devil. Bugs ironically doesn't buy it at first, probably because it's Daffy trying to warn him. |
| 143 | ** In "The Foghorn Leghorn Story", the eponymous rooster casts Daffy to play him in a movie about his life. Daffy accepts but does still point out that it's odd to cast him since he isn't a rooster or even an actor. |
| 144 | ** In "Sunday Night Slice", Porky refuses to eat sausage because it's made from pig, but he still eats pepperoni. Daffy notes the irony, but Porky doesn't realize that pepperoni is also made from pig. |
| 145 | ** In "Year of the Duck", Lola states that she thought Daffy was an animal with beaver tail and beaver teeth. Daffy points out [[CaptainObvious she is thinking of a beaver]]. |
| 146 | ** In "Bobcats on Three", he tells Gossamer to not eat desserts, because he’s still training. Considering how important it is to eat healthy food, he’s got a point. |
| 147 | ** In "Semper Lies", when Bugs tell Daffy that he hated going to Peach Festival with Porky because how horrible it is (it takes 6 hours to get there, it’s a middle of a hot desert with mosquitos, and have to stand in long lines for peach related food including peach sandwiches and soup) Daffy first said to lie, but quickly change his mind because that his "role". Daffy even suggested to Bugs that [[StatingTheSimpleSolution he should just simply tell Porky he doesn’t want to go to the festival]]. |
| 148 | * EasilyForgiven: |
| 149 | ** He bankrupted Foghorn's company after inheriting it from him, and later demolished the movie Foghorn was making about his life, to the point where they came to blows over the latter (both of which Carol points out to Foghorn when she advises against adopting him in "Father Figures"), not to mention sent him a hate mail that insults him. Despite this, Foghorn keeps roping Daffy into his adventures and they remain on good terms. |
| 150 | ** Despite his horrendous treatment of and behavior towards Porky (particularly in "The Float" and "The Muh-Muh-Muh-Murder"), the latter still continues treating him like a good friend. |
| 151 | * EmbarrassingNickname: In "Reunion", it’s revealed that in high school, everyone called him “Daffy Dork”. |
| 152 | * FoulWaterfowl: A duck who is almost sociopathic. |
| 153 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Choleric/Melancholic. |
| 154 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed.]] While Tina, Foghorn, Gossamer and (sometimes) Granny genuinely like him, few other characters can stand being around him for long. He also gets along with Lola, though this is [[BirdsOfAFeather not]] that [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike surprising]]. Bugs and Porky, at least, seem to tolerate him, but even they have limits to how long they're willing to spend in his presence, [[WalkingDisasterArea if only for their own wellbeing]] if nothing else. |
| 155 | * FreudianExcuse: His childhood... [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood wasn't the best]] growing up. From what little snippets he actually ''remembers'' about it, it's fairly clear why he so mentally and emotionally unwell. |
| 156 | * FurryReminder: In the first episode, he eats a raw fish and swallows it whole like a real-life duck would. |
| 157 | * GeniusDitz: He's a talented licensed-cosmetologist. |
| 158 | * {{Greed}}: He literally conned Porky out of all his money so he could buy a yacht and he's very shameless about his selfishness and materialism. |
| 159 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: Downplayed on the "Monsters" part. It's revealed when he was younger he was tormented by a selfish, mean-spirited, and arrogant bully. Fast forward several years later and he developed all those qualities plus more. Also, what's his relationship with said bully now? The roles are reversed. |
| 160 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 161 | ** "Beauty School" reveals Daffy is an extremely talented hairdresser. He effortlessly breezes through Tina's beauty school assignments, and legitimately earns a cosmetology license on his own merits. |
| 162 | ** Following his training with the U.S. Marines, he proves to be an incredibly competent soldier. By the time he and Bugs reunite, it's implied that Daffy has been on multiple missions to rescue prisoners of war from foreign countries, and has done a damn good job at it. |
| 163 | ** A few of the later episodes, most notably ''Best Friends Redux'', show he does genuinely value Porky's friendship, and he is willing to help him out for purely altruistic reasons on occasion. |
| 164 | * HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: He claims his parents filled the house with so much arguing that "no one could stand to live there", and doesn't remember anything before age fifteen, possibly having [[TraumaInducedAmnesia blocked it out]]. |
| 165 | * HypocriticalHumor: Frequent. |
| 166 | * IdiotHero: The "hero" part is debatable, the "idiot" part is ''not''. |
| 167 | * InformedFlaw: When listing all of Daffy's flaws, Bugs states that Daffy is "sexist" and also someone who makes fun of the elderly. This is rarely shown (in "Double Date", he says that "all women are crazy"), despite his many other flaws. |
| 168 | * InsecureLoveInterest: Regarding Tina, this comes up from time to time. Notably, his hate mail for Tina is calling her insane for even dating him. |
| 169 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: Daffy, who’s a grown man, is friends with Gossamer, who’s nine years old. |
| 170 | * InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: He becomes this in this show; then again, [[CloudCuckoolander he isn't really sure what "gender" is anyway.]] |
| 171 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: His [[SmugSnake haughty demeanor]] hides the fact that he deep down has little, if any, confidence in himself and [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter lives in his roommate's shadow]]. Tina even accurately guesses he's an "insecure little weirdo who lies about everything and probably cries himself to sleep". Daffy wasn't offended, in fact; he was impressed she could see through him so easily. |
| 172 | -->'''Daffy:''' Wow. You're good. |
| 173 | * InsaneTrollLogic: Probably the incarnation of this character that best deserves his name, ''Daffy.'' |
| 174 | * InsecureLoveInterest: He thinks Tina is ''insane'' for willingly being his girlfriend. |
| 175 | * InsufferableImbecile: Because of AdaptationalDumbass, he is an idiot in this show, while also keeping his selfish SmallNameBigEgo. |
| 176 | * ItsAllAboutMe: His selfishness is usually played for laughs. |
| 177 | * JerkassToOne: A "Crueler to One" example. Daffy is a jerk to pretty much everyone, but Porky gets the worst of it. Porky's too passive to stand up to Daffy (most of the time at least) and since Porky bullied Daffy in high school, Daffy likely takes extra pleasure in tormenting Porky as a form of revenge. |
| 178 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A jerkish, dishonest, and selfish individual who can also be nice plus a decent friend when he wants to be. In season two, however, the "heart of gold" part increases while the "jerk" part decreases. |
| 179 | * KarmicButtMonkey: He is rarely a KarmaHoudini, and usually gets his comeuppance (which is especially apparent in "Casa de Calma"). [[spoiler:Ironically, he causes Cecil's LaserGuidedKarma in "Customer Service" via firing the turtle]]. |
| 180 | * KickTheDog: His treatment of Porky in the second half of season 1 (especially "The Float") was very badly received by a lot of viewers. |
| 181 | * LackOfEmpathy: Whenever he's paired with Porky, he doesn't seem to care how much crap he pulls onto him. |
| 182 | * LargeHam: Probably the hammiest character in the show. |
| 183 | * LiteralMinded: In "Spread Those Wings and Fly", Daffy takes the title of a book ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the title of the episode]]) as encouragement to take flying lessons, and Porky tries to correct him by saying that he takes the title too literally. |
| 184 | -->'''Daffy:''' ''[to Porky]'' What are you talking about? He must have said the word "fly" about a hundred times in there. "Fly" means fly! |
| 185 | * TheLoad: For Bugs and Porky. He causes a lot of problems for them with his selfishness and stupidity. |
| 186 | * LovableRogue: He's a pretty divisive character because of DependingOnTheWriter. Some play him as a HeroicComedicSociopath, some as a deconstruction of that trope. He seems to have roughly equal (or at least, equally loud) groups of fans and detractors. |
| 187 | * {{Manchild}}: He acts extremely childish for his age. In "Father Figures", when he tells Bugs that he's joining the Father Figures program, he tells him that's he's not the father figure, he's the one ''getting'' the father figure. Upon hearing this, Bugs admits that the latter makes more sense. Considering his terrible and lonely childhood, it [[JustifiedTrope makes sense why he's emotionally stunted]]. |
| 188 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: He's the Feminine Boy to Tina's Masculine Girl. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in "Year of the Duck", when Daffy tries to enter Tina in the Royal Oaks Glen Oaks Oakwood Oaks Country Club's beauty pageant to give ducks a better image for the public: |
| 189 | -->'''Tina:''' I'm not the beauty pageant type.\ |
| 190 | '''Daffy:''' Oh, of course you are. You're constantly at the salon, you spend hours in front of the mirror, and you're always prancing around the house in a tiara.\ |
| 191 | '''Tina:''' That's you. |
| 192 | * MoneyDumb: He is shown to be terrible with managing money. Here are two noteworthy examples: |
| 193 | ** In "The Float", he uses the money he scammed Porky out of for a yacht. Of course, instead of using the rest of the money on a sail, a radio, and life jackets, he buys ''two'' jacuzzis along with bed sheets, leading to him getting stranded in the middle of the ocean. [[NeverMyFault He blames Porky for being short on cash]]. |
| 194 | ** In "Here Comes the Pig", when he and Porky arrive at a gas station, he is given money by Porky for gas while the latter was using the restroom. Instead, Daffy wastes it on snacks, magazines, and a lottery ticket, leading to them being stranded in the middle of the desert. Once again, [[NeverMyFault he blames Porky for not giving him enough money for gas]]. |
| 195 | * MrImagination: Although the line between "daydream" and "reality" is considerably blurred from his point of view (he really thinks he's a wizard, for instance). |
| 196 | * MythologyGag: |
| 197 | ** His birthday is April 17 (''WesternAnimation/PorkysDuckHunt'' was released on April 17, 1937). |
| 198 | ** His stint in the U.S. Marine Corps and his genuine competence at being a Marine harkens back to several WWII-era shorts, where he was depicted as a soldier able to singlehandedly thrash Nazis left and right through his sheer badassery. |
| 199 | * {{Narcissist}}: According to Bugs. He does display many of the traits that mark narcissism in reality. |
| 200 | * NeverMyFault: He's quick to blame his mistakes on others. |
| 201 | * NiceGuy: He was actually friendly when he was [[UsedToBeASweetKid younger]]. |
| 202 | * OddFriendship: He's prone to form odd friendships with characters who don't have much in common with him, and also who rarely interacted with him outside of this show, like Foghorn, Granny, and Gossamer. |
| 203 | -->'''Gossamer:''' I always have fun hanging out with you.\ |
| 204 | '''Daffy:''' Me too, kid. |
| 205 | * OfficialCouple: He becomes Tina Russo's boyfriend in "Double Date". |
| 206 | * OutOfCharacterMoment: His behaviour in "Father Figures" is really tame compared to the rest of the series. Also in this episode, he seems to be relatively good at tennis (possibly as good as Bugs), which is odd since in the rest of the series, he is repeatedly shown to be AthleticallyChallenged. |
| 207 | * PetTheDog: Sometimes in the first season ("Devil Dog", "Eligible Bachelors", "That's My Baby"), more frequently in the second season. |
| 208 | * ThePigPen: {{Implied|Trope}}. In "That's My Baby", he says that he "cares about the Earth" when Tina points out that he doesn't shower, is revealed to have never heard of toilet paper in "Peel of Fortune", and in "Bugs and Daffy Get a Job", he refers to Bugs brushing his teeth as a "little quirk" (keep in mind that Daffy is a ToothyBird) in defense of his snoring. |
| 209 | * {{Schemer}}: He [[{{Pun}} hatches]] (failure-prone) schemes to benefit himself in some way. |
| 210 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The aggressive Manly Man to Porky's shy Sensitive Guy. Downplayed, since Daffy is often effeminate or even CampStraight in this show, making him the Sensitive Guy to Bugs' Manly Man. |
| 211 | * SelfDeprecation: Daffy willingly admits he's a terrible person several times. |
| 212 | * SeriousBusiness: Jobs, relationships, personal hygiene and safety are for losers! Parade floats and bowling, now, ''those'' are SeriousBusiness. |
| 213 | * SevenDeadlySins: He demonstrates all seven of them throughout the show: |
| 214 | ** '''Greed''': He constantly steals other people’s money and possessions. |
| 215 | ** '''Envy''': He shows jealousy of Bugs for picking up a beautiful actress in "Casa De Calma" and admits to being jealous of Bugs’ popularity in "To Bowl or Not to Bowl". |
| 216 | ** '''Wrath''': In "Monster Talent", he encourages Gossamer to fight back against bullies, telling him that violence is always the answer. He also gets in a fistfight with Foghorn Leghorn in "The Foghorn Leghorn Story". |
| 217 | ** '''Lust''': In "Working Duck", a brief joke implies he looks at internet porn. Also, he spends all of "Casa De Calma" hitting on a beautiful actress, purely wanting her for her looks and not even bothering to remember her name. |
| 218 | ** '''Pride''': Daffy is egotistical about how smart, handsome, and talented he believes he is, [[SmallNameBigEgo despite the fact that he is none of these things]]. |
| 219 | ** '''Sloth''': He’s a LazyBum who doesn’t have a job, rarely exercises, and mooches off his friends. |
| 220 | ** '''Gluttony''': He eats a lot of food. He also entered a hot dog eating contest in "Mr. Wiener". |
| 221 | * ShipperOnDeck: In "Here Comes the Pig", he initially ships Porky/Becky, and then Porky/Petunia. When Becky gets married to another guy, Daffy comes to the conclusion that the only soulmate for Porky must be a female pig. So he appears satisfied when Porky meets Petunia. |
| 222 | * SitcomCharacterArchetypes: Stick, Goofball and Bully. |
| 223 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Daffy isn’t nearly as smart, good-looking, or talented as he thinks he is. |
| 224 | * SmugSnake: Proud, condescending, dishonest, [[TheDitz nowhere as smart as he thinks he is]], and a non-villainous example. |
| 225 | * TheSociopath: According to Bugs anyways. While he checks ''some'' of the boxes of genuine sociopathic disorder (lack of empathy, impatience, [[NeverMyFault blame-shifting]], and irresponsibility, among others), he doesn't check all of them. For instance, shame and self-loathing are not generally associated with sociopathy. The later episodes also do away with his lack of empathy, as he genuinely values his friendships with Porky and Bugs, even if he's not exactly what one would call a shining example of a friend. |
| 226 | * SpotlightStealingSquad: He gets the most screen time of anyone in the show. |
| 227 | * StrawLoser: He pretty much exists to make Bugs (and everybody else) look better. The trope is lampshaded in his license acceptance speech, where he admits he has been placed in the world to make other people look better. That being said, however, he apparently has his own successful moments, such as being a licensed-cosmetologist, a former CEO ''and'' a former Marine, but [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome most of these moments are not seen]] in the cartoon proper, except for the Marine one. |
| 228 | * StrawmanPolitical: Especially in the first season, Daffy could have worked for Fox News. |
| 229 | * SweetTooth: He not only eats sugary products, but ''insane amounts of powdered sugar that he apparently adds to his breakfast, lunch, and dinner''. |
| 230 | * TalkativeLoon: To the point of Daffy asking Bugs what the heck he was talking about after delivering a particularly outlandish monologue in "Working Duck". (Bugs, of course, had no idea.) |
| 231 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Particularly in Season 1, though the "evil" part is usually just shameless selfishness. Becomes {{downplayed}} in Season 2. |
| 232 | * TookALevelInJerkass: In the first half of season one, he has PetTheDog moments and you can feel sorry for him at times. In the second half he becomes a borderline sociopath, his lowest point being "[[Recap/TheLooneyTunesShowS1E23TheFloat The Float]]." |
| 233 | * TookALevelInKindness: Starting in season two. While he still does have his occasional {{Jerkass}} moments throughout the season, Daffy became [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold a much nicer person]] than he was in season one. |
| 234 | ** In the second season premiere, he realized that winning isn't everything after becoming a coach to Gossamer and his friends and was happy that his kids were having fun. |
| 235 | ** In "Here Comes the Pig", he was even willing to help Porky win back his third grade girlfriend after all these years, before she gets married. |
| 236 | * TraumaInducedAmnesia: Implied. He doesn't remember ''anything'' of his early childhood before he was 15, and what we ''do'' know of his childhood paints a pretty grim picture, so it's probably a good thing he doesn't remember. |
| 237 | * TheUnapologetic: He almost ''never'' apologizes for his misdeeds, sometimes claiming that ''he'' is the one who is owed the apology. |
| 238 | * UngratefulBastard: It's rare for him to show gratitude, even claiming never he thanked anyone before "French Fries". |
| 239 | * UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: He deserves a lot of the stuff that happens to him because of his jerkish behavior. |
| 240 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: When attending Daffy's high school reunion, Bugs discovers that Daffy was a friendly, if awkward and nerdy, teenager who was bullied and humiliated by JerkJock Porky Pig. Porky TookALevelInKindness after graduation, while Daffy took ''all'' [[TookALevelInJerkAss of the levels in jerkass]]. Daffy's long list of issues are implied to be a result of all the mistreatment he endured as a kid. |
| 241 | * WalkingDisasterArea: It's a rare day when one of his hijinks ''doesn't'' end in an explosion or someone (usually him, at the very least) getting hurt. One of his attempts to celebrate the 4th of July ended with ''the entire neighborhood being set on fire.'' |
| 242 | * WithFriendsLikeThese: Daffy was this with pretty much any protagonist due to his sefishness, overambitiousness, or just out-and-out screwiness in the original theatrical shorts, but he really falls into this territory in this series. One of his most infamous acts is in "The Float", where he lies to Porky about needing money for a kidney transplant, then uses Porky's entire life savings to buy a yacht to replace his parade float after it gets destroyed at the car wash.[[note]][[LampshadeHanging Porky himself says he needs to get a new best friend]] when he rebuilds Daffy's parade float after giving Daffy his kidney when he found out that Daffy really did need a kidney transplant at the end of the episode.[[/note]] He also does little else but sponge off Bugs and act like a nuisance to the whole neighborhood. |

| 249 | |
| 250 | WesternAnimation/PorkyPig is one of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck's friends. Despite being extremely bright and bookish, Porky has an innocent, naive quality that Daffy frequently uses to his advantage, tricking Porky into parting with large sums of money or involving him in bizarre schemes. |
| 251 | ---- |
| 252 | * AccidentalMisnaming: Speedy usually calls him "Pinky", actually thinking that's his name despite everyone else calling him Porky out loud. |
| 253 | * AmbiguouslyBi: In "Double Date," he is excited when Daffy invites him on a date and even waits for Daffy with a bouquet of flowers. Regardless, he ends up attracting many women and ends up dating Petunia. |
| 254 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: He's usually an ExtremeDoormat to everybody (Daffy's just the one who exploits it most). But in the notorious ''The Float,'' after Daffy tricks Porky into giving him all of his money by claiming that he needs a kidney transplant - and then uses the money to buy a yacht - an enraged Porky beats the ever-living crap out of him upon finding out that he was tricked. |
| 255 | * BigJerkOnCampus: He was this in high school, a JerkJock and ChickMagnet who bullied Daffy. |
| 256 | * BrainyPig: One of the smartest characters in the show, though he is rather naive. |
| 257 | * BullyTurnedBuddy: He used to bully Daffy in high school, but they are on friendlier terms as adults. |
| 258 | * ButtMonkey: Whenever somebody has to lose big, it turns out to be Porky. |
| 259 | * CharacterExaggeration: Wasn't that much of a doormat in the original shorts, where he actually fights back at Daffy much more often. In this show, he lets everyone walk all over him. It's not ''really'' called attention to, but his ExtremeDoormat tendencies in this show [[FreudianExcuse may be connected to the fact that]] he's a ReformedBully; in high school he was a JerkJock who went out of his way to bully Daffy. |
| 260 | * ChickMagnet: This is the rare case where the ButtMonkey is one. He has attracted more girls than Bugs and Daffy combined, shown in "High School Reunion" and a few Merrie Melodies. After [[SatelliteLoveInterest Petunia Pig]] makes her appearance, this trope is downplayed. |
| 261 | * CompositeCharacter: While he stutters and doesn't wear pants like Porky, his shy, naive pushover personality is closer to Hamton J. Pig from ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' (another ''Looney Tunes'' adaptation of the 90s). |
| 262 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: Porky is constantly abused throughout the series, and shown to have crippling loneliness. Only after Petunia made her overdue debut did things turn around for him. |
| 263 | * ExtremeDoormat: To Daffy, who does not give him a shred of dignity or respect. Yet Porky still treats him kindly and often goes out of his way to appease him. |
| 264 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Melancholic/Phlegmatic. |
| 265 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: His closest friends are Daffy, Bugs, and Speedy. Daffy constantly belittles and humiliates him, Bugs often finds him annoying ("Semper Lie", "Mrs. Porkbunny's", "Gossamer is Awesomer"), and even Speedy is dismissive of him at times. |
| 266 | * FutureLoser: He was the most popular student in high school, but peaked ''too'' early. |
| 267 | * {{Geek}}: If the song "Table for One" is any indication, Porky is a fan of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', comic books, action figures, and ''Literature/HarryPotter''. |
| 268 | * HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: He wears a jacket and tie, but no pants. Lampshaded in "We're in Big Truffle" when Daffy asks him what he plans on doing with his half of the money that they're going to recieve from selling the truffle: |
| 269 | -->'''Porky:''' I g-g-g-guess I could buy a shirt. I mean, I n-n-n-never felt like I n-n-n-needed a shirt, considering I already had a j-j-j-jacket and tie... It seems so extravagant.\ |
| 270 | '''Daffy:''' THAT'S why you don't wear a shirt? Because you're CHEAP?!\ |
| 271 | '''Porky:''' Well, w-w-w-why don't YOU wear clothes?\ |
| 272 | '''Daffy:''' Because I love my body. |
| 273 | * HiddenDepths: He actually has all sorts of skills and beneficiaries as Daffy discovers. It's just Daffy usually cares too little about him to find out anything. There's also the occasional hint that he may not be ''quite'' as genuinely nice as he appears (though still a good guy). |
| 274 | ** He is a certified accountant (though he despises and ends up getting fired from that job). |
| 275 | ** He switches careers to being a caterer, and turns out to be very successful at it... until he inexplicably runs out of business. |
| 276 | ** He is also a city councilman, and is very knowledgeable on matters of government bureaucracy, civil infrastructure, and political science. |
| 277 | * IAteWhat: He loved eating pepperoni, until he found out it was primarily a pork product. |
| 278 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: His main motivation. |
| 279 | * ImpoverishedPatrician: Subverted. His family seemingly used to be very wealthy, but Porky now lives extremely modestly and doesn't have much money. |
| 280 | * JerkJock: Hard to believe, but he was this in high school. He grew out of it. It seems this universe turned him into its ButtMonkey as karma. |
| 281 | * KarmicButtMonkey: He is one of the [[CreateYourOwnVillain factors that helped create the jerkass Daffy Duck that we know in the series]], and nowadays he is the [[TheDogBitesBack main victim of his cruel behaviors]], while he is mainly rude to others. It is implied that the reason Porky accepts all this abuse is not just because he is lonely but also as a way to get [[TheAtoner Daffy to forgive him]] ([[RejectedApology which doesn't work]]). |
| 282 | * LaserGuidedKarma: He used to bully Daffy ''viciously'' when they were teenagers. So how Daffy treats him as an adult is surprisingly enough somewhat deserved. |
| 283 | * LoveAtFirstSight: He immediately falls for Petunia when he sees her for the first time at a wedding. |
| 284 | * NeatFreak: His reorganization of Bugs's house in "Gossamer is Awesomer" drives Bugs round the bend. |
| 285 | * NiceGuy: Along with Bugs, Porky is one of the nicest characters in the series. |
| 286 | * NoRespectGuy: If he appears in an episode at all, it's so that more lack-of-respect can be loaded on him. |
| 287 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Despite typically being the more intelligent one of the duo, it's ''[[DumbassHasAPoint Daffy]]'' who has to spell it out to him that pepperoni, which he eats in lieu of sausage as he knows the latter contains pork, ''also'' contains pork. When he finds out, he's downright horrified. |
| 288 | * ObsessivelyOrganized: In one episode, Porky has to stay with Bugs for a while, and while he's helpful at first, he starts reorganizing his entire kitchen to the point of alphabetizing his goods and moving plates and silverware around. He even makes sure all the identical soup cans face label outward when Bugs puts one back irregularly. |
| 289 | * OfficialCouple: He becomes a couple with Petunia Pig as of "Mr. Wiener". |
| 290 | * OnlySaneMan: Along with Bugs. Even though he is an ExtremeDoormat, he's one of the more rational characters. |
| 291 | * ThePollyanna: He tries hard to keep looking on the bright side. |
| 292 | * PorkyPigPronunciation: Of course, except he doesn't compensate by changing words like the original shorts or other shows. |
| 293 | * ProperlyParanoid: Throughout the B-plot of "The Black Widow", Porky worries about the various fire hazards (his iron, stove, curling iron, and antique magnifying glass) he might have left on when Daffy talks him into going with him to Mexico on his Spring Break. At the end of the episode, every single one of these things go off, causing Porky's house to catch fire. |
| 294 | * ReformedBully: It's revealed that he was a bully to Daffy Duck back in high school, which may explain why Daffy treats him badly. Now he's the nicest character on the show and apparently apologized to Daffy a thousand times for what he did in the past. [[HiddenDepths Then again, he does look back on his bullying days with fondness...]] |
| 295 | * RejectedApology: He apparently apologized about a thousand times to Daffy for bullying him in high school, but Daffy continues to treat him poorly. |
| 296 | * SanitySlippage: To varying degrees, especially in "Bugs & Daffy Get a Job". |
| 297 | * SitcomCharacterArchetypes: Square, Dork and Goofball. |
| 298 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Bugs and Daffy's Manly Men. |
| 299 | * SpeechImpediment: He always stutters when he talks. |
| 300 | * SupremeChef: After getting fired as an accountant, Porky becomes a caterer, and turns out to be very skilled and successful at it. Bugs even ends up addicted to his food and attempts to hog his services all to himself. |
| 301 | * StrawLoser: Not as much as Daffy, but still ends up the ButtMonkey and ChewToy of many situations he lands himself in. There's an exception PlayedForLaughs in one of the Merrie Melodies shorts, but in the main continuity he always ends up losing, no matter how earnestly hard he tries. |
| 302 | * WideEyedIdealist: He tends to look up the positive side, even if there's a bad situation. |

| 308 | |
| 309 | WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales is an extremely fast mouse who lives with Bugs and Daffy as their "mouse in the wall" and runs a pizza parlor called Pizzarriba. |
| 310 | ---- |
| 311 | * TheAce: More so than Bugs, as unlike him he is still very unflawed. |
| 312 | * BadassAdorable: "El Queso Bandito" paints him as a fleet-footed Robin Hood since birth, and "Devil Dog" shows him taming the Nightmare Fuel laced Tazmanian Devil without batting an eyelash. |
| 313 | * BarefootCartoonAnimal: Wears no shoes. |
| 314 | * BrutalHonesty: To the point he can be a bit rude. |
| 315 | -->'''Daffy:''' Hey, Speedy, Porky's finally got a girlfriend.\ |
| 316 | '''Speedy:''' Ooh! Good for you, Pinky. I thought you were going to be one those always lives alone guys, who just gets more and more desperate until he alienates the few friends that he has and then he's just alone. So what a relief for you. Now when can we meet this new girlfriend?\ |
| 317 | '''Porky:''' ''[stammering]'' I don't have a girlfriend.\ |
| 318 | '''Speedy:''' Well, stay in the game, Pinky. But maybe you should think about growing a beard. You got so much face. |
| 319 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: In ''DMV'', Bugs calls Speedy and asks if he drives a car. Speedy shows up in his car, that is built for someone his size and is too small for Bugs. He points out that Bugs didn't say anything about whether or not Speedy can actually give him a lift. |
| 320 | * TheConscience: He is occasionally shown to act as Daffy's conscience. |
| 321 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Sanguine. |
| 322 | * FriendshipDenial: In the first episode, he tells Daffy that he’s not his friend. |
| 323 | * FunnyForeigner: Sometimes speaks in GratuitousSpanish. |
| 324 | * InvincibleHero: He is right about almost everything, owns a cool car, teaches flamenco dancing, gets the girls, saves a restaurant started by Bugs and Daffy that eventually is given to him, and trains Taz to obey him in seconds! |
| 325 | * JerkassToOne: |
| 326 | ** Downplayed, but he tends to come off as rather dismissive of Porky, to the point of getting his name wrong even when others say it out loud, even thinking "Pinky" is his name. Case in point, one episode begins with Porky desperately looking for someone to hang out with. Bugs and Daffy are busy with their girlfriends, but Speedy tells him he has no girlfriend or plans. When Porky asks enthusiastically if he wants to hang out, Speedy nonchalantly says "not really" and just walks off. |
| 327 | ** He's also excited at the idea of Daffy dying in "Mr. Weiner", but this is more justified since Daffy is a jerk who deserves to be TheFriendNobodyLikes. |
| 328 | * LightIsGood: Lampshaded in ''Itsy Bitsy Gopher'', where Lola and Daffy think his suit symbolizes his "purity". |
| 329 | * MoralityChain: He is the one who calls Daffy out for his poor treatment of Bugs and convinces him to be a better friend. In Season 2, he also acts as one to Bugs, calling him out for the few times Bugs indulges in antics. |
| 330 | * OnlySaneMan: He lacks any FatalFlaw and fills this role towards Bugs and Porky when they fail to do so or are engaged in questionable behavior themselves. |
| 331 | * SuperSpeed: It's severely toned down in this series, but he can still move at incredibly fast speeds. |
| 332 | * TokenMinority: He's a Mexican mouse. |
| 333 | * VocalEvolution: His voice is significantly lower than Mel Blanc's version. |

| 340 | WesternAnimation/LolaBunny is Bugs' scatter-brained, bubbly, obsessive girlfriend, who has a habit of speaking rapidly, whether anyone else is listening or not. |
| 341 | ---- |
| 342 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: Before becoming an OfficialCouple, Bugs finds her [[MotorMouth habit of talking too much]] annoying and embarrassing enough to try and create excuses to break up with her. It's only after they spend a romantic day in Paris where she doesn't talk that he comes around to her. |
| 343 | * AdaptationalComicRelief: She isn't very comical in ''Film/SpaceJam'' but she was intentionally changed for this adaption so to appear more "looney tuney" like the other characters. |
| 344 | * AdaptationalDumbass: In ''Film/SpaceJam'', although she doesn't get many lines, she seems reasonably intelligent. In ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes'' she's the smartest of the babies. Here she's a DumbBlonde and UpperClassTwit. |
| 345 | * AdaptationalModesty: A mild example. In ''Space Jam'', she wore a crop top and very short shorts. While her outfits in the show tend to leave her arms and legs exposed, they are definitely more modest. |
| 346 | * AdaptationalUgliness: Downplayed. Despite her GirlinessUpgrade, Lola's seductiveness and MsFanservice traits from ''Space Jam'' are removed in this show, although she's still cute in a non-sexual way in order to match her kooky and quirky personality. |
| 347 | * AdaptationalWimp: She is portrayed as a badass YouGoGirl in ''Space Jam''. Even in ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes'' she's good at sports. Here she's a klutz who is unable to play tennis, although she does have a CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass moment where she braved a dangerous Mayan pyramid to get Bugs an anniversary gift. |
| 348 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: Her original character in ''Film/SpaceJam'' is simply a FlatCharacter who was simply there to be a sexy basketball player and exaggerated sex symbol who Bugs is head over heels in love with. Here she's an energetic {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who's excruciatingly infatuated with ''him''. |
| 349 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: In the "Rebel Without A Glove", when Bugs temporarily becomes a "bad boy" and she was excited by the idea. |
| 350 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Even moreso than Daffy. Even a short sentence could suddenly turn into an extended detour about a random subject. |
| 351 | * BarefootCartoonAnimal: As with most of the cast. Though she does wear shoes at times. |
| 352 | * BrainlessBeauty: While not seductive like she is in ''Film/SpaceJam'', she's still a beautiful lady... and a total airhead. |
| 353 | * ButtMonkey: She's probably the female character most subjected to physical comedy on the show. Her very first scene has her badly playing tennis, and getting bonked over the head by a ball when she gets distracted by Bugs. In "Muh-Muh-Muh Murder" she breaks her leg. And in "Father Figures", she slips on a tennis-ball and falls on the ground. |
| 354 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: The darker aspects of her character (namely her {{Yandere}} and StalkerWithACrush tendencies) are absent in season 2. |
| 355 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Daffy's better at it, but only because Lola can't pay attention to any one thing long enough to build a delusion around it. |
| 356 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Fights off a squad of undead skeletons and a giant robot so she can find an anniversary present for Bugs. |
| 357 | * CuteAndPsycho: Has shades of this in early episodes, but later grows out of her stalker/yandere tendencies and is portrayed more as a harmless {{Cloudcuckoolander}}. |
| 358 | * CuteClumsyGirl: There's a lot of pratfalling and slapstick when she's around. |
| 359 | * DistaffCounterpart: Despite being Bugs' girlfriend, she is similar to Daffy, without the {{Jerkass}} traits. |
| 360 | * TheDitherer: She's unable to settle on a decision, even for something as simple as what she wants to drink. Or if she likes a certain part in a movie the most. ("Oh! Oh! This is the best part. Oh, no. Wait. This is the worst part. Oh, I hate this part.") |
| 361 | * TheDitz: Lola can out-ditz anyone on the show. |
| 362 | -->'''Lola:''' Are you really a duck? I always thought you were a crow. Aren't ducks the ones with those big beaver teeth and that big beaver tail?\ |
| 363 | '''Daffy:''' Those are beavers.\ |
| 364 | '''Lola:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint So, you're a beaver?]]\ |
| 365 | '''Daffy:''' Uh... Forget it. |
| 366 | ** Later, in the same episode: |
| 367 | --->'''Lola:''' Porky's a pig? I always thought he was a seal. |
| 368 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: As shown in "DMV". Yosemite Sam being unfortunate enough to see what is going on when she is driving causes him to freeze up from shock, and then faint. |
| 369 | * DumbassHasAPoint: Lola convincing Daffy in "Daffy Duck Esquire" that he can't avoid Tina's dad forever if he ever wants to marry her. It's actually one of the rare moments in the series where she doesn't say anything loony at all. |
| 370 | * DumbBlonde: She has blonde hair on top of her head and she’s not too bright. |
| 371 | * EarsAsHair: Her ears are tied behind her head like a ponytail. Lampshaded in "Members Only". |
| 372 | -->'''Bugs:''' I like your hair.\ |
| 373 | '''Lola:''' Thanks! ...They're my ears. |
| 374 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Sanguine/Choleric. |
| 375 | * FurryFemaleMane: Has a tuft of blonde hair on the top of her head. |
| 376 | * GenerationXerox: Lola and her father are both [[KindheartedSimpleton airheaded, but kind, people]] who love Bugs to the point of obsession. They also both love playing tennis, but are really bad at it. |
| 377 | * GeniusDitz: In "We're In Big Truffle", she makes a passing remark that she babysat as a way to pay for medical school. |
| 378 | * GenkiGirl: She's an energetic {{Cloudcuckoolander}} with a MotorMouth. |
| 379 | * GirlinessUpgrade: Not that she didn't have any girliness in her first appearance, but here, she is a rich air-headed ValleyGirl instead of a PassionateSportsGirl. |
| 380 | * GlurgeAddict: In her initial appearance in "Members Only", she seems to be a fan of feel-good movies, even though she was only reacting to the trailer. Later, during the "We Are In Love" song number, she's shown to have two [[BigAnimeEyes Margaret Keane-style]] paintings. |
| 381 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Lola appears to have golden-ish fur with blonde bangs on the top of her head, but she is very sweet and kindhearted (although she can be a DumbBlonde). |
| 382 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: Becomes this with Tina. |
| 383 | * HiddenDepths: Apparently, Lola is in medical school. |
| 384 | * HypocriticalHumor: The '''entire''' segment in "Double Date" where Lola attempts to talk Daffy out of dating Tina. |
| 385 | -->'''Lola:''' Not every girl's as stable as me. ''[flattens a soda can against her forehead with a creepy look on her face]'' |
| 386 | * KindheartedSimpleton: Lola is a very sweet person and usually means well, although she can be quite [[TheDitz dense]]. |
| 387 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: To Bugs. When he mistakenly believes that she broke up with him in "Dear John", he is so distraught that he decides to travel the world by boating, stating, "There's nothing here for me anymore". |
| 388 | * LoonWithAHeartOfGold: She may be a TalkativeLoon but her intentions are genuinely good. |
| 389 | * LoveMakesYouCrazy: Not that she wasn't already crazy... |
| 390 | * MadLove: At her worst. Hell, she even stars in a Merrie Melody called "We Are In Love" that's built off of this trope. |
| 391 | * MirrorCharacter: To Daffy. Both are dimwitted, insanely obsessive, and prone to InsaneTrollLogic and ComicallyMissingThePoint, other than being both close to Bugs. But while Daffy is negative, rude, and he dislikes most people around him, Lola is happy, friendly, and she likes most people around her. |
| 392 | * MoodSwinger: She has the tendency to have little control over her emotions; one moment she's crying her eyes out and the next she's laughing her ass off. Just watch the movie scene in "Members Only". |
| 393 | * MoralityPet: She's one of the few people Daffy respects, and she manages to get along with him. |
| 394 | * MotorMouth: She talks a mile-a-minute, and Bugs is easily annoyed by this. |
| 395 | * NiceGirl: When she's not being a {{Yandere}}. If you can get over all her insanity, she is a very friendly person. |
| 396 | * NotGoodWithRejection: So much so that she ends up [[InelegantBlubbering breaking down into tears]] when Bugs actually rejects her in one episode. |
| 397 | * OfficialCouple: She's a couple with Bugs Bunny as of "Double Date". |
| 398 | * OrangeBlueContrast: Her fur is an orange-ish shade and, in season 2, she wears a blue dress. |
| 399 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Energetic Girl to Bugs' Savvy Guy. |
| 400 | * SerialRomeo: In early episodes, she easily falls for different guys (Bugs, Daffy, Pepe), but eventually evolves into a stable, if eccentric, girlfriend to Bugs. |
| 401 | * SitcomCharacterArchetypes: Goofball and Bigmouth. |
| 402 | * StalkerWithACrush: The Merrie Melody song, "We Are In Love," is basically "Stalker with a Crush: The Song". Among other tendencies of this trope, Lola stands outside Bugs' house in the rain while sporting a SlasherSmile. However, this trope is now [[AvertedTrope averted]] now that Lola and Bugs became an OfficialCouple starting in "Double Date". |
| 403 | * TalkativeLoon: Rather unhinged and talks a lot, though because she is an airhead she tends to lose track of what she is talking about or what she is doing, quick to change topics or switch her attention to something else. |
| 404 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Tina's Tomboy. |
| 405 | * TomboyishPonytail: She certainly isn't a tomboy, but she wears a purple (light blue in the second season) rubber band on [[EarsAsHair both ears]] like a high ponytail. |
| 406 | * TookALevelInBadass: Best shown in "It's a Handbag". |
| 407 | * UpperclassTwit: She's an empty-head, but apparently, she and her family are wealthy. |
| 408 | * TownGirls: The Femme to Tina’s Butch and Petunia’s Neither. She’s a ditzy, obsessively romantic, rich girl. |
| 409 | * {{Yandere}}: At her worst. Just see "We Are In Love" if you really wanna know what we mean. |

| 415 | |
| 416 | A new character original to the show, Tina Russo is a female duck who is Daffy's girlfriend. She works at a copy store called "Copy Place". Tina is another straight character of the show, with a no-nonsense personality. |
| 417 | ---- |
| 418 | * TheAce: Tina can do just about anything, except cut hair. |
| 419 | * BarefootCartoonAnimal: Doesn't wear shoes, but is otherwise fully clothed. She'll wear shoes on occasion. |
| 420 | * BrainyBrunette: Tina is sensible, street smart, a Junior Manager at her job and she can understand a guy like Daffy! She is a brunette in opposition to Lola who is a DumbBlonde to the nth degree. |
| 421 | * BrutalHonesty: See practically anything she ever says to Daffy. |
| 422 | * CanonForeigner: A new character created for this show, replacing Daffy's former girlfriend Melissa Duck. |
| 423 | * DaddysGirl: She was shown to worry about her father's possible disapproval of Daffy, proving that while she doesn't care what others think about her she does care about her family's opinion. |
| 424 | * DeadpanSnarker: The biggest one in the show after Bugs. |
| 425 | * DistaffCounterpart: To Bugs. The serious StraightMan to her {{Cloudcuckoolander}} love interest complete with exaggerated accent, much like Bugs is this to Lola. |
| 426 | * {{Foil}}: To Lola. While Lola is a dizty girly girl, Tina is a serious-minded, sarcastic and cynical tomboy. |
| 427 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Phlegmatic. |
| 428 | * HairTriggerTemper: She has a short temper, especially in season 2 where she can get easily pissed off by her boss or by her customers. It's a plot point in "Customer Service". |
| 429 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: Becomes this with Lola. |
| 430 | * ICanChangeMyBeloved: Her reason for being with Daffy, since she "likes a project". |
| 431 | -->'''Tina:''' You're like an abandoned building that ought to be condemned. You know, with busted windows, rats running around, a real nasty sewage situation. But maybe if the right person got a hold of it and cleaned it up, maybe they could take that disgusting building and turn it into something not so disgusting. |
| 432 | * {{Joisey}}: Speaks with a heavy New Jersey/Italian American accent, as befits her surname. |
| 433 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Masculine Girl to Daffy's Feminine Boy. Emphasized by this exchange: |
| 434 | -->'''Tina:''' I'm not the beauty pageant type.\ |
| 435 | '''Daffy:''' Oh, of course you are. You're constantly at the salon, you spend hours in front of the mirror, and you're always prancing around the house in a tiara.\ |
| 436 | '''Tina:''' That's you. |
| 437 | * MoralityPet: For Daffy. He once put on a whole lie to prove to her father he was successful, not for the sake of his ego, but because he was afraid of losing her. |
| 438 | * NonMammalianHair: She has brown hair which appears to be streaked or highlighted. |
| 439 | * NonMammalMammaries: Prominently sports them. Hilariously, when Daffy disguises himself as Tina in "Beauty School", his only distinction from her is his lack thereof. |
| 440 | * OddNameOut: For some reason, she and her family are the only animal characters who avert SpeciesSurname. Her surname is Russo, not Duck, and she mentions in one episode that her mother's maiden name is Romano. |
| 441 | * OfficialCouple: She starts to date Daffy Duck as of "Double Date". |
| 442 | * OnlySaneWoman: One of the most down-to-earth characters in the show, along with Bugs. |
| 443 | * RambunctiousItalian: Averted, as she is very calm and doesn't really get mad and scream at people when triggered. |
| 444 | * StraightMan: She's remarkably good at remaining calm in the face of Daffy's antics. |
| 445 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Of Melissa Duck. Melissa was supposed to appear in the show as Daffy's girlfriend but Warner Bros. was concerned that fans wouldn't remember Melissa so Tina was created in her place. |
| 446 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to Lola's Girly Girl. |
| 447 | * TookALevelInJerkass: Downplayed. She's always a good-hearted person (especially compared to her boyfriend), but she becomes more aggressive and short-tempered in season 2. |
| 448 | * TownGirls: The Butch to Lola’s Femme and Petunia’s Neither. She’s tough, snarky, and not into girly things. |
| 449 | * UnkemptBeauty: She likes to dress simple, and while she does on occasion dress up, she doesn't like wearing excessive makeup as shown in "Year of the Duck", proving further that she does not care about appearances. Even then, she's still attractive enough to garner Daffy's affections in her debut episode. |
| 450 | * WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Even Daffy himself believes she's insane for loving him. |
| 451 | * WomenAreWiser: In comparison to the idiotic Daffy Duck. |

| 458 | |
| 459 | In this show, the Tasmanian Devil is portrayed as walking on four legs like a real Tasmanian Devil and his eyes are bloodshot red (later turned yellow when Bugs uses a taming trick that Speedy Gonzales taught him). |
| 460 | ---- |
| 461 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Goes from an antagonist to a pet. |
| 462 | * AdaptationalNonsapience: In the original cartoons, he's as antromorphic as the other animals in the shorts (if slightly dumber and more violent). Here, he's portrayed as an actual Tasmanian Devil and for that as a non-sapient animal. |
| 463 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Gets to be in the spotlight in two episodes: "Devil Dog," which is his introduction episode, and "Ridiculous Journey," which focuses on him, Sylvester and Tweety. |
| 464 | * AffectionateNickname: Even after finding out he's a Tasmanian Devil, Bugs still affectionately calls him "Poochie". Everyone else refers to him as "Taz", including himself. |
| 465 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: While everyone and everything else reacts to Taz's introduction with well-justified terror, Bugs immediately [[IdiotBall assumes that he's a dog]] and dotes on him accordingly. As a result, Bugs is the only character Taz is automatically nice to—and one of the few he doesn’t try to murder. |
| 466 | * ExtremeOmnivore: Has the universal constant of wanting to eat anything he can get his hands on. |
| 467 | * HellishPupils: He had vertical slits for pupils prior to his domestication. |
| 468 | * HorrifyingTheHorror: Even he, a fearsome Tasmanian devil, is terrified of spiders, particularly the deadly African sand spider. |
| 469 | * IncorrectAnimalNoise: When he was still savage, Taz makes roaring noises like a tiger. After his domestication, he goes back to his trademark yelling noises (which sound like a real Tasmanian Devil). |
| 470 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Until Speedy domesticates him, after which he has YellowEyesOfSneakiness. |
| 471 | * RunningOnAllFours: In this incarnation, Taz runs on all fours like a real Tasmanian Devil, save for a few exceptions like in "Ridiculous Journey". |
| 472 | * TeamPet: After he was adopted by Bugs. |
| 473 | * VolatileTasmanianDevil: He starts off as a savage beast attacking anyone he perceives as prey. Even after being domesticated by Bugs, he is still prone to causing havoc. |

| 479 | |
| 480 | Yosemite Sam is one of Bugs and Daffy's neighbors. He is a liar, a thief, and a cheat, amongst other things. He tends to annoy Bugs and Daffy. |
| 481 | ---- |
| 482 | * AdaptationalHeroism: He's overall nicer than in the original shorts. Partially justified because he's no longer allowed to use his trademark pistols (which is revealed in "The Stud, the Nerd, the Average Joe, and the Saint" to be the result of a court order), so he can't intimidate and bully people as easily as before. He's still loud, rude and thoughtless most of the time, but when it ''occurs'' to him to be nice, he's pretty decent. |
| 483 | * FieryRedhead: He still has his temper, though he's not an EvilRedhead like in the original shorts. |
| 484 | * FreudianExcuse: In "Gribbler's Quest", we learn in his therapy group that Sam has anger issues because he was bullied by other kids in his childhood. In fact, he is the one who suggests Daffy to go with him to therapy class. |
| 485 | * HairTriggerTemper: He even has his own song about his temper. |
| 486 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 487 | ** In "The Grand Old Duck of York" he deduces that Daffy is [[DreadfulMusician attempting]] to play The Grand Duke of York. |
| 488 | ** In "You've Got Hate Mail," when changing back into his usual self, he unloads a long rant about how awful a book's protagonist is, complaining about how there's no arc to the character and there was no emotional journey. |
| 489 | * HonorBeforeReason: Yosemite Sam has a rather bizarre code of honor, always trying to return favors to people who help him[[note]]Such as baking Bugs a cake when he takes the battery out of a malfunctioning smoke detector, which unfortunately leads to him go back into his burning house to [[SkewedPriorities retrieve it so he won't stay indebted to Bugs]].[[/note]]. He even goes so far as to try to save Bugs' life when the latter saves him from a house fire, spending the entire episode tailing him and looking for danger to save him from, much to Bugs' annoyance. |
| 490 | * InsufferableImbecile: One of the most idiotic characters and also one of the most aggresive. His stupidity can irritate Bugs just as much as the one of Daffy and Lola. See all his interactions with Bugs in "The Stud, the Nerd, the Average Joe, and the Saint". |
| 491 | * JerkassHasAPoint: |
| 492 | ** In "The Foghorn Leghorn Story", Sam brings up some very good points in the questions he asks Mac and Tosh about the titular film based around Foghorn's life story, namely why a duck (Daffy) is cast as a rooster (Foghorn), and why the same duck is also cast as him. |
| 493 | ** In "A Christmas Carol", When Mac and Tosh argue over which role they should have in Lola's play, Sam points out which role they pick doesn't matter since nobody can tell which of them is which. |
| 494 | ** In "The Grand Old Duck of York" he complains about Daffy's [[DreadfulMusician horrible piano playing]] is keeping him up, and lists off a number of other grievances he has with Bugs and Daffy, including Daffy parking his parade float '''in front of Sam's driveway'''. Sam admits he doesn't have anywhere to go but blocking someone's driveway with your vehicle is an offense that can get their vehicle towed. |
| 495 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's actually honestly kind and helpful once in a while. In "You've Got Hate Mail", he didn't get angry at Daffy's hate email. He instead uses it as a opportunity to become a better person, and even thanks Daffy for it! [[StatusQuoIsGod Too bad it didn't last...]] |
| 496 | * TheNapoleon: One of the shortest characters of the cast and he still has his temper. |
| 497 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His real name is Samuel Rosenbaum, as revealed in "Daffy Duck, Esquire". |
| 498 | * OneNoteCook: In "The Stud, the Nerd, the Average Joe, and the Saint," he claims he only knows how to make chocolate cake. |
| 499 | * TheyKilledKennyAgain: In "The Foghorn Leghorn Story", Sam finds the Burmese Turtle, a rare treasure that had to be hid from sight because it caused anyone who would find it to literally burst with joy. Sam does burst with joy upon finding the Burmese Turtle, but this being ''Looney Tunes'', he shows up alive and well to see ''The Foghorn Leghorn Story'', which includes (a very cheap version of) his own death in the following scene. |
| 500 | * WithFriendsLikeThese: Sam tells Bugs in "Mr. Weiner" that he considers him to be his best friend, though one wouldn't be able to tell by his usual behavior. One of the most infamous examples of this is in "Fish and Visitors", wherein [[TheThingThatWouldNotLeave he crashes at Bugs' house during a rainstorm and does many inconsiderate and annoying things during his stay]] while genuinely thinking of Bugs and Daffy as his friends, to the point that they are desperate to get him to leave. |

| 510 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: A very sweet old lady. Still capable of laying Daffy out with one punch if sufficiently angered. |
| 511 | * CoolOldLady: She goes skydiving, visits the shooting range, and was a former spy who squared off with Nazis during the Liberation of Paris in 1944. |
| 512 | * FieryRedhead: Even though her red hair is gone, the fire is still there. |
| 513 | * ICantHearYou: Due to her old age, her hearing isn't as strong as it once was. In "Devil Dog", when Bugs asks her if Taz is her pet dog, she tells him she doesn't gamble and that she's been looking for her missing clog. When Bugs tells Daffy that Granny needs a hearing aid, Granny asks them what a cheering maid is, and Daffy goes into a long ramble about cheering maids as Sylvester and Tweety try to evade Taz. |

| 527 | * AmbiguousGender: Tweety, moreso here than usual. When Sylvester asks if he's a boy or a girl, Tweety whispers the answer into his ear. We never hear it, but apparently, Sylvester's guess was wrong. |
| 528 | * AnimalTalk: They play it straight by remaining mute around the other characters, as per franchise tradition. Taz is the only other one the duo talk to directly in "Ridiculous Journey". |
| 529 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: They have their moments of friendship. Most notably in "Ridiculous Journey", where while thinking they're at the end of their rope, they both admit they really do love one another. |
| 530 | * BadassAdorable: Tweety, who bests Sylvester time and time again. And in a story Granny told about World War II, [[PintsizedPowerhouse he was able to beat the crap out of Colonel Frankenheimer]]. |
| 531 | * ButtMonkey: Sylvester, as per usual. |
| 532 | * CuteLittleFangs: Sylvester has 'em, which is really the biggest change from his classic incarnation. |
| 533 | * ADayInTheLimelight: "Point, Laser Point" and "Ridiculous Journey". |
| 534 | * DemotedToExtra: They're fairly minor characters in the show, though they do get ADayInTheLimelight every now and again. |
| 535 | * EnemyMine: They work together to escape the Tasmanian Devil when it gets inside Granny's house... and then in a later episode they both team up with the Tasmanian Devil to get back home after they've gotten lost in the wilderness. |
| 536 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: Sylvester actually comes close to eating Tweety a number of times in the series, just for something he couldn't anticipate to thwart him. |
| 537 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Tweety, apparently, who served in WWII. Sylvester asks him how old he is, but Tweety refuses to give an answer. |
| 538 | * TheUnfavourite: According to "Point, Laser Point", Sylvester's mother preferred his more handsome brother, Alan, over him. She also criticizes Sylvester's inability to catch Tweety and the fact that he never wears his retainer, and asks him when he's going to get married so [[IWantGrandkids she can have grandkids]]. |
| 539 | * TheUnreveal: Tweety's age and gender. |

| 544 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Roz Ryan [[labelnote:'''Other Languages''']]Odile Schmitt (French), Hayashi (Japanese)[[/labelnote]] |
| 545 | |
| 546 | A witch who lives next door to Bugs Bunny and is often annoyed at the antics of Daffy Duck. Witch Lezah is also a hypnotherapist by trade. |
| 547 | ---- |
| 548 | * AdaptationalHeroism: She's based on Witch Hazel, a more villainous and AxCrazy character. |
| 549 | * AdaptationalNameChange: "Lezah" is "Hazel" (the character's original name) spelled backwards. Averted in the Polish dub, which has her original name (probably because name "Lezah" isn't seen in Poland as feminine name). |
| 550 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Is a WickedWitch and has a creepy mansion, but is a rather decent person unless provoked (usually by Daffy). Works as a psychiatrist. |
| 551 | * DubNameChange: The Polish dub keeps her original name "Hazel". |
| 552 | * MamaBear: Very protective towards Gossamer, which puts her at conflict with Daffy, whom he is friends with. |
| 553 | * RippleEffectProofMemory: In "Best Friends Redux", Daffy accidentally erases himself from history, and then discovers that ''Lezah'' still remembers him anyway. |
| 554 | -->'''Lezah:''' Child, I am not a ''witch'' for nothing. |
| 555 | * SassyBlackWoman: Technically green but she talks like one. |
| 556 | * SdrawkcabName: Of "Hazel", her character's original name, [[ExecutiveMeddling due to copyright by Disney]]. |
| 557 | * WitchClassic: Much like her counterpart from the original Looney Tunes. |

| 563 | |
| 564 | A large red furry monster who is Witch Lezah's son. |
| 565 | ---- |
| 566 | * AdaptationalHeroism: From a truly scary villainous monster to a... sweet little boy who just happens to be a monster. |
| 567 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: Along with Lola, the character with the biggest personality change. |
| 568 | * AdorablyPrecociousChild: He is very smart and mature for a nine-year-old. |
| 569 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: He's bullied at school, and has difficult time making new friends because of his appearance. |
| 570 | * AscendedExtra: In Season 2. |
| 571 | * CheerfulChild: He's friendly and generally upbeat. |
| 572 | * ChildrenAreInnocent: Easily the most positive-minded and least cynical character of the show. The worst you can say about him is that he is occasionally InnocentlyInsensitive, but this is always due to his young age. |
| 573 | * TheCutie: Despite being a big red furry monster, he's also a shy and kindhearted little boy. |
| 574 | * GentleGiant: He may be a big monster, but he is actually quite sweet. |
| 575 | * InformedFlaw: According to Lezah, the reason she can't help him with his problem of bullying and friends in school is because he is "in the age where he wouldn't listen to his mother" and the last week called her "witch". Pun aside, this would suggest a rebelious and hypocrite behavior given his situation in school, but he acts like a good and educated kid through the entire episode. In fact, the reason he doesn't fight back his bullies, as he tells Daffy, is because his mother told him that violence is never the answer. He also judges Daffy based on what his mother says about him, and in general is always respectful to his mother. |
| 576 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: With Daffy. Gossamer is nine years old and Daffy is a grown man. |
| 577 | * MoralityPet: For Daffy, surprisingly. Gossamer is one of the few characters who is almost never a victim of Daffy's {{Jerkass}} moments -- he may not do a good job of it, but Daffy is sincerely trying to look out for the kid. |
| 578 | * NiceGuy: One of the nicest characters in the show. |
| 579 | * OddFriendship: With Daffy, considering the great [[IntergenerationalFriendship age difference]] and the fact that Gossamer is very nice and polite, while Daffy is very rude and selfish. |
| 580 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: GentleGiant to Daffy's {{Jerkass}}. |
| 581 | * VocalEvolution: By the end of the series, he sounds several times older due to Kwesi Boakye hitting puberty. |

| 588 | |
| 589 | Foghorn Leghorn is a rich rooster who has worked under various jobs. He and Daffy often get involved in various schemes. |
| 590 | ---- |
| 591 | * ActuallyPrettyFunny: The reason he and Daffy get along so well is that he is consistently amused by Daffy's BrutalHonesty, much to the surprise of anyone else in the room. |
| 592 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: Foghorn was more of an obnoxious {{Jerkass}} in the original shorts who was just occasionally nice, but in this show he's completely well-meaning and optimistic. |
| 593 | * AmbiguouslyJewish: While he lacks the Jewish accent that people like Bugs have, Foghorn is knowledgeable in some Yiddish, with him saying that his favorite aspect about Daffy is that he's, "got chutzpah." |
| 594 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Absentminded at times. |
| 595 | * CockyRooster: The "Cock of the Walk" Merrie Melodies music video has Foghorn Leghorn boast about the various accomplishments he achieved in his life. In "The Foghorn Leghorn Story", he deems Daffy unfit to be a rooster for giving up because in his own words, "Roosters are loyal. Roosters never quit. Roosters, I say, roosters fight to the end". |
| 596 | * EccentricMentor: He's kind of crazy, but sometimes ''does'' give good advice. |
| 597 | * FireForgedFriends: He had a rough start with Daffy in "The Foghorn Leghorn Story", but they make up at the end of the episode and remain good friends for the rest of the show. |
| 598 | * MotorMouth: Downplayed compared to his classic incarnation. He's still a ''far'' better talker than listener, and will go on at length if you let him, but in this show it's a lot easier to get a word in edgewise. |
| 599 | * NiceGuy: Much less of a {{Jerkass}} than in the original shorts. |
| 600 | * ParentalSubstitute: It's heavily implied that Daffy sees him as such, especially in "Father Figures". |
| 601 | * ThePollyanna: Foghorn refuses to see the negative in any situation, no matter how obvious it might be. He even admits it, claiming that the secret of his success is that he "only remembers the positive." |
| 602 | * OddFriendship: With Daffy. Sometimes outright depicted as a ''father figure'' to him. |
| 603 | * SelfMadeMan: He's a rich, successful entrepreneur and businessman. |
| 604 | * WealthyPhilanthropist: He's an incredibly rich businessman, but frequently uses his vast wealth to help others. |
| 605 | * WideEyedIdealist: Foghorn refuses to see the negative in any situation, and usually sees the best in people. Of course, he ends up becoming one of Daffy's best friends. |

| 631 | * SmellySkunk: Only in his Merrie Melodies song, "Skunk Funk". In his proper appearances in the show, however, he seems to lack his odor (much like real skunks, which spray rather than just smell bad). |

| 638 | |
| 639 | A Martian who is one of Daffy Duck's friends. |
| 640 | ---- |
| 641 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Sort of. He's still plotting to destroy the Earth, but he never did anything really evil. He's actually one of Daffy's friends. |
| 642 | * AffablyEvil: Only in a merrie melody. He'll shoot you with his laser beam only if you aren't being polite. |
| 643 | * AliensSpeakingEnglish: A Martian Speaking English. |
| 644 | * BadassAdorable: According to most of the female demographic, at least. In the merry melody "Laser Beam", Marvin destroys a space octopus with his laser beam, and its remains splatters on him as he squeals cutely. |
| 645 | * BerserkButton: This verse from his Merrie Melodies song, "I'm a Martian", says it best. |
| 646 | -->''But don't insult my helmet, 'cause then I'll hit the ceiling!'' |
| 647 | * DemotedToExtra: In-series. In the first season, he was one of Daffy's friends and provided some to the plot of a few episodes. In the second season, he's lucky if he even gets an appearance. |
| 648 | * DisproportionateRetribution: In this continuity. |
| 649 | -->'''Marvin:''' Oh! High school was a ''horrible'' time for me! Therefore, I have spent every day since graduation plotting to ''destroy the Earth!''\ |
| 650 | '''Daffy:''' Pfff! I hope ya have better luck with that than ''I'' did. |
| 651 | * ForeignExchangeStudent: Was one during high school. The horrible experience of it has caused him to devote his life to destroying the Earth. |
| 652 | * FreudianExcuse: This time he has a legimitive reason for destroying Earth: he was bullied in high school. |
| 653 | * TheNapoleon: A mild example. |

| 668 | * TheDitz: He's just as dumb as Daffy and Lola, or even more so. |

| 683 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Has no interest in hunting Bugs or Daffy this time, despite trying to do so in the original shorts. Then again, he didn't really do anything heroic in this show. |
| 684 | * DemotedToExtra: In this adaptation, Elmer mostly serves as the local news reporter. With the exception of a brief interaction with Daffy in "Year of the Duck", he never interacts with the main cast. |
| 685 | * ElmuhFuddSyndwome: Of course! And yet, somehow, he got a job ''as a TV news reporter.'' In-universe QuestionableCasting! |

| 695 | Lola's parents. |
| 696 | ---- |
| 697 | * BarefootCartoonAnimal: Inverted, as both of them wear shoes. However, Walter does go shoeless at times unlike his wife. |
| 698 | * BigBeautifulWoman: Patricia. A very pleasant plump woman who is just as pretty as her daughter. |
| 699 | * BigFun: Walter, while being rather fit, still has a rather bulky body, and is as amicable as it gets concerning parents. |
| 700 | * BoyfriendBlockingDad: Normally inverted with Walter, who gets along wonderfully with Bugs, but in "Rebel Without A Glove" he temporarily disliked Bugs because he wasn't himself at the time, due to wearing biker gloves that changed his personality. |
| 701 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Walter. "Father Figures" has him taking the "throw the line" part in fishing ''literally'', yelling "Touchdown!" while he and Bugs are playing baseball, and getting scared of the tennis court net thinking it's going to get him. He IS Lola's father, after all. |
| 702 | * TheDitz: Walter. Obviously, Lola has inherited her intelligence from him. |
| 703 | * EarsAsHair: Patricia, just like her daughter, though she has her ears wadded up in a ball behind her head, like a hair bun. |
| 704 | * EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes: Walter is normally a very friendly rabbit, but he has a particular dislike for Daffy Duck since the latter used his membership number to pay for lots of stuff at the Royal Oaks Glen Oaks Oakwood Oaks Country Club in "Members Only". When Walter finds out Daffy was stealing from him, he punches him in the face and forces him to get a job at the country club as a bathroom attendant to pay him back. In "Father Figures", he’s shown to still have a grudge against Daffy, angrily asking him what he was doing at the country club, since he was banned. |
| 705 | * FlatCharacter: Patricia isn’t given much of a personality. |
| 706 | * GenerationXerox: Walter and Lola are both [[KindheartedSimpleton airheaded, but nice, people]] who love Bugs to the point of obsession. They also both love playing tennis, but are really bad at it. |
| 707 | * InkSuitActor: Walter resembles his voice actor, straight down to the hairstyle. |
| 708 | * KindheartedSimpleton: Walter shares his daughter's friendliness, and also her intelligence. |
| 709 | * NiceGuy: Both of them are very nice, like their daughter. |
| 710 | * ParentalSubstitute: In the episode "Father Figures", Walter was Bugs' father figure so that they could play together in the country club’s father-son tennis tournament. He also uses it as an excuse to take Bugs to do typical father-son activities to bond more as "father & son". |
| 711 | * ShipperOnDeck: Both approve of Bugs being Lola's boyfriend. Especially Walter, who even sings a song about how great Bugs is and how he hopes that he becomes his son-in-law. They liked Bugs so much after meeting him, they were perfectly fine with Lola wanting to marry Bugs, even though she and Bugs had just met yesterday. |
| 712 | * StalkerWithoutACrush: Walter acts like a stalker to Bugs when he sings Wonderful Bugs, but he doesn’t have a crush on Bugs, he wants Bugs to be his son-in-law. During the song, he’s shown spying on Bugs and at one point, he hides under Bugs’ bed while he sleeps to listen to how quietly he snores. |
| 713 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: Patricia looks like a chubby Lola with her ears styled into a bun instead of a ponytail. |
| 714 | * WhyAreYouNotMySon: Although Walter loves Lola very much, it’s obvious he’s always wanted a son in addition to a daughter, and he constantly talks about how he loves Bugs and hopes that he’ll marry Lola. |

| 720 | |
| 721 | A turtle who formerly worked as a customer service representative at the Trans-Visitron cable company. He later becomes a scammer and an enemy of Bugs Bunny. |
| 722 | ---- |
| 723 | * AdaptationalDumbass: The original shorts had Cecil being one of the few characters to ever beat Bugs Bunny by outwitting him. He knows the right things to say to get under Bugs's skin and in his second appearance, was able to see through Bugs's PaperThinDisguise, but plays along to exploit Bugs's bruised ego and put him at a disadvantage, [[BatmanGambit counting on the other rabbits being too stupid to realize they're hindering Bugs]]. Here, as a result of being the one to antagonize Bugs, it is Cecil who falls for Bugs's tricks, being actually fooled by his disguises and played like a fiddle. [[spoiler:In his second appearance when he has Bugs and Porky at gunpoint, Bugs exploits his ego by [[JustBetweenYouAndMe making him share the details of his crimes]] and tricking him into sitting back on Daffy's broken recliner, knocking him out]]. |
| 724 | * AdaptationalJerkass: In the original shorts, he only antagonized Bugs when ''Bugs'' was the one being a {{Jerkass}}, and existed to [[BreakTheHaughty knock him]] down [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter a peg]]. In this adaptation, he is given an extremely jerkass personality reminiscent of the various antagonists that justifiably deserve Bugs' KarmicTrickster antics. |
| 725 | * AdaptationalVillainy: He was willing to [[spoiler:kill Bugs and Porky in "Shell Game" to stop them from [[TheyKnowTooMuch exposing his cracked shell fraud scheme]]]], something he would never do in the original shorts. |
| 726 | * BondVillainStupidity: In "Shell Game", he just has to shoot Bugs and Porky, but thanks to his ego is tricked by Bugs to tell them his plan - and activate the old recliner to crash him against a wall. |
| 727 | * ConsummateLiar: All of his scams run on pure lies and nothing that Cecil does in the series is honest. He doesn't learn his lesson the first time as he commits the same self-serving plot in "Shell Game". |
| 728 | * EvilLaugh: He constantly pulls one off in "Shell Game". This is what makes Bugs more and more suspicious of him. |
| 729 | * ForTheEvulz: In "Customer Service", Cecil annoys clients of his cable company for the sheer sake of annoying them. |
| 730 | * HateSink: He only exists in the show for making other people's lives miserable ForTheEvulz and scamming them out of their money. There is no depth to his character that could ever make him likable (unlike [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Daffy]], he doesn’t have any redeeming moments or even a FreudianExcuse). All of this was to make sure the audience roots for Bugs to turn the tables on him. |
| 731 | * {{Jerkass}}: The biggest jerkass in the show. |
| 732 | * LaserGuidedKarma: He pretends to have his shell cracked by Bugs and Porky to scam money out of them. In the episode's climax, he gets his shell cracked for real and is later shown to be arrested in the post credits sting. Also happens in "Customer Service" when Daffy, on his firing kick, briefly fires Cecil for being late from lunch. |
| 733 | * MaliciousMisnaming: He pronounces Bugs's name as "Byoogs Byoony". One could say it's due to ignorance, but he continues to do so even after corrected, suggesting that he does it solely to irritate Bugs. |
| 734 | * ManipulativeBastard: In "The Shell Game", Cecil manipulates Bugs and later Porky into giving him money in order to fix his shell which was "accidentally" broken by them in two completely separate car accidents that he himself set up. |
| 735 | * MoodWhiplash: Thanks to the suburban setting of the series, Cecil pulled this off to [[spoiler:dark effect when he pulled a gun on Bugs and Porky in "Shell Game"]]. |
| 736 | * PsychoticSmirk: He makes one in "The Shell Game". |
| 737 | * ReptilesAreAbhorrent: The sole Looney Tunes character who is a non-avian reptile, and is one nasty piece of work. It's notable in that it's a rare instance a turtle plays the trope straight. |
| 738 | * TheyKnowTooMuch: Was [[spoiler:willing to ''kill'' Bugs and Porky after they learn about his cracked shell scheme]]. |
| 739 | * TookALevelInJerkass: In his first appearance, he was simply a sadistic {{Troll}}, but in his second appearance, [[spoiler: he has become a scam artist who has no qualms about killing people if they find out about his fraud]]. |
| 740 | * {{Troll}}: In "Customer Service", where he intentionally irritates Bugs by randomly cutting off his cable, then when he puts the cable back on, he only gets one channel and it's full of Mexican telenovelas! |

| 747 | * BabysittersNightmare: A variant; in "Father Figures", Porky enters the Father Figure program and is teamed up with him. Henery tells Porky that he goes through father figures like he goes through boxes of chocolate. Porky is determined to prove that he can be a good father figure to Henery, taking him on such activities as [[AGoodOldFashionedPaintWatching watching paint dry and watching grass grow]], even though all Henery wants to do is eat chicken, which Porky keeps ignoring because he thinks it's a metaphor for wanting attention. Porky finally realizes that Henery really did want chicken after Henery bites Foghorn Leghorn at the Royal Oaks Glen Oaks Oakwood Oaks Country Club's father/son tennis tournament, resulting in Foghorn becoming hospitalized. When Porky finally serves Henery some chicken near the end of the episode, Henery congratulates him on being the first father figure who didn't give up on him. |
| 748 | * BrutalBirdOfPrey: Well, not as brutal as he is bratty, but he is willing to eat Foghorn despite being a fellow bird-person. |
| 749 | * DisappearedDad: The fact that he needed a father figure suggests that his birth father is gone. |
| 750 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While he can be quite a brat, he shows off his soft side by accepting Porky as his father figure for being the first to never give up on him. |
| 751 | * PickyEater: In the "Chickenhawk" Merrie Melodies music video, Foghorn tries to get Henery to eat something other than chicken, given that he's a giant rooster, but as a chickenhawk, Henery insists on eating chicken. After unsuccessfully trying to convince Henery to eat Chinese food, fish tacos, honey buns, a hot dog with mustard and sauerkraut, and even Pork(y), Foghorn does manage to get him to try his grandmother's baked beans. Henery ends up enjoying the beans, [[HereWeGoAgain but decides that he needs some chicken to go with them]]. |

| 760 | A female pig that Porky develops a relationship with. |
| 761 | ---- |
| 762 | * AdvertisedExtra: Appeared prominently in early promotional material and merchandising, with at least two different designs. Creator/GreyDeLisle was also originally cast in the role. For some unknown reason, though, her debut was put off until what was essentially the series' eleventh hour, appearing late in Season 2 and speaking in the next episode, which was the ''third-to-last episode''. Exactly why this happened is unknown, though there was clearly some sort of behind-the-scenes politics at play, possibly the executives wanting Porky to [[Main/EarnYourHappyEnding earn his happy ending by suffering greatly]]. |
| 763 | * GirlishPigtails: Black pigtails, like in the original shorts. |
| 764 | * LoveInterest: To Porky, starting with "Here Comes The Pig". |
| 765 | * NiceGirl: She was willing to date Porky, even if he's a StrawLoser. |
| 766 | * OfficialCouple: She begins dating Porky Pig as of "Mr. Wiener". |
| 767 | * SatelliteLoveInterest: Unlike Lola and Tina, there is not much depth to her character but being Porky's girlfriend. Though to be fair, she only appeared in two episodes, so it's justified. |
| 768 | * TownGirls: The Neither to Tina's Butch and Lola's Femme. She's a sweet, generic, GirlNextDoor. |
| 769 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: Merchandise released during season 1 featured her early, unused designs. |
