Since we had one for Mickey Mouse and Classic Disney, I figured we should probably have one for the Looney Tunes.  *

One of my all time favorite shorts has to be Duck! Rabbit! Duck! Just the insanities of Daffy's actions in trying to prove what season it actually is, is pure Crowning Moment Of Funny.

"Daffy Duck and Egghead."

"Duck Soup To Nuts"

"Daffy Duck Hunt."

"My Favorite Duck"

"Riff Raffy Daffy"

"Yankee Doodle Daffy"

See a pattern arising?

Also, "Porky Pig's Feat," for being hilarious and the only time Porky, Daffy and Bugs appeared in the same cartoon. And worth noting is "To Duck Or Not To Duck" for being the only time Daffy and Elmer... ahem... "matched wits." Also, heavy Characterization Marches On for Daffy in Porky Pig's Feat.

Oh, and "Falling Hare," basically Bugs vs an Old School Daffy Expy.

And, getting off the Daffy Duck adoration for a second... "The Hasty Hare"

"Haredevil Hare" and "Hareway To The Stars"

"Tortoise Beats Hare"

That's all I can think of for now. There's more. Loads more.

I forget the exact name of the short, but the one where Wile E. Coyote talks to Bugs Bunny. Walks up, sets up a door in front of the rabbit-hole, and knocks. "Hello. My name is Wile E. Coyote, and I'm here to eat you. You have no chance of escape, for I am a supergenius, as my business card will show."

Well, not those words exactly, but that's the gist.

"Operation Rabbit," I think...

  • Wile E: "Now don't try to get away, I'm bigger, faster, more cunning, and larger than you are, aaaand... I'm a genius, while you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to Kindergarten. I'll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers."
  • Me: Oh, he is so goin' down.

I was dying laughing when That Guy With The Glasses gave a shout out to that in Kickassia.

Also:

"WILE E. COYOTE! SUUUUUPER GEEEEENIUS!"

Speaking of large hams, I forgot "The Dover Boys Of Pimento University," and a living embodiment of hammy hilariousness that is the entire cast, really, but especially Dan Backslide.

Best line from that episode "Why, you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten."

It's funny because kindergarten does have an entrance exam.

That's a good one. Sorry about my faulty memory regarding the speech.

Either The Great Piggy Bank Robbery, Duck Amuck or Draftee Daffy. Probably The Great Piggy Bank Robbery. Maybe Falling Hare?

I hate to be on the popular band-wagon, but I do love What's Opera, Doc?, although I don't think it's all that ground-breaking and original, since the main idea came from "Herr Meets Hare." I'm very fond, in general, of the work of the underrated Robert McKimson, including "Bedeviled Rabbit," "Hillbilly Hare," "Ducking the Devil," and "Stupor Duck." (I like McKimson's rather plump versions of the Warners characters.) I'm also very fond of Frank Tashlin's Plane Daffy.

[up][up] I like a lot of Mc Kimson's work too, especially regarding Bugs or Daffy. "Rebel Rabbit" and "Easter Yeggs", while not exactly the most in-character moments for Bugs are hilarious and Mel Blanc at his best.

"Daffy Doodles" and Design For Leaving" NEED to be mentioned on here too. The latter arguably features some of Elmer's funniest dialogue.

"Porky In Wackyland", "Dog Collared" and "Kitty Cornered" are hilarious Porky shorts as well by Mc Kimson and Clampett (for the latter "The Wise Quacking Duck" and "Baby Bottleneck" likely also deserve a mention).

I love Riff Raffy Daffy. It's such a forgotten gem.

I swear, I've never seen that cartoon rerun, I only found out about it while looking through Wikipedia's list of Daffy cartoons and watching random ones on youtube.
