1This ''is'' one of the funniest ''WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck'' shorts, so what did you expect?
2----
3* Daffy's BreathlessNonSequitur as the background changes from a farm to the arctic.
4-->''(to the tune of "Old [=McDonald=]") Da-ffy Duck, he had a farm / E-I-Ay-I-O / And on this farm he had an igloo / E-I, E, I... ohh...'' (speaking) Would it be too much to ask if we could make up our minds? Hmm?
5* [[TalkingWithSigns "Sound, please!"]]
6** When the animator obliges, Daffy strums a chord on the guitar, resulting in machine-gun fire, and then an old-timey car horn, then throws it down to the ground accompanied by a bullet ricochet, and a donkey braying.
7** Daffy's expression the first time he tries to speak when the sound is being messed with (when he opens his mouth but we hear a rooster crow and clucking). Then we hear kookaburra noises and a little kitten mew.
8** And then Daffy getting angry with his eyes turning red before he screams and jumps around, before yelling, '''''"[[{{Angrish}} AAAAAAHHHBBBLBLBLBLBBLB]] -- AND I'VE NEVER BEEN SO HUMILIATED IN ALL MY LIFE!"'''''
9** Capped off with Daffy realizing that his ability to speak is back, and shooting a DeathGlare at the animator.
10* When Daffy asks for some scenery, the animator draws a crude black-and-white background.
11-->'''Daffy:''' [[SarcasmMode That's dandy, ho ho. That's rich, I'll say.]] Now how about some color, stupid?!\
12(''The animator [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor starts painting Daffy in a variety of garish colors]]'')\
13'''Daffy:''' HEY! NOT ''ME'', YOU SLOP ARTIST!
14* Daffy's reaction to being turned into a bizarre monster:
15-->That's strange. All of a sudden I don't quite feel like myself. ''[The animator paints a mirror]'' Oh, I feel ''all right'', and yet I... I, uh... ''[Daffy catches a glimpse of his reflection]'' '''EEEEK'''!!! ''YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT!''
16** Take a look at the flag on Daffy's tail as he's turned into a monster. It's [[RebusBubble a picture of a screw and a baseball]]. A [[DontExplainTheJoke screwball!]]
17** What prompted Daffy being turned into a monster was being rubbed out from the variety of garish colors except for his beak and eyes.
18--->'''Daffy:''' [[UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan Well? Where's the rest of me?]]
19* This dialogue:
20-->[--Hey! Come here! Come here! Give me a close-up! A close-up!--] ''(The screen irises in on Daffy's location, but doesn't zoom in)'' [--''This'' is a close-up?!--] ''(beat)'' [-''A CLOSE-UP, YA JERK!'' '''''A CLOSE-UP!'''''-]\
21''(The camera zooms in to his bloodshot eyes)''\
22Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin.
23** In one version of the Italian dubbing, Daffy calls the first 'close-up' 'a dead man's portrait', referring to the Italian tradition of putting a photo of the deceased on their grave.
24* Halfway through the short, we get this sequence, it's his primal rage and screaming which makes it one of the most hilarious uses of the BigNo ''ever'':
25-->'''Daffy:''' ''(exhausted)'' ... Alright, let's get this picture started!\
26''(THE END card cues up)''\
27'''Daffy:''' ''(pushing the card off screen)'' ''NOOOO,'' '''NOOOOOOOO!!!'''
28* And when the animator turns out to be WesternAnimation/BugsBunny. This revelation is the absolute cherry on the cake.
29-->'''Bugs Bunny:''' ''(snickers)'' Ain't I a stinker?
