Daffy Duck is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons, often running the gamut between being the best friend or arch-rival of Bugs Bunny. Daffy was the first of the new breed of "screwball" characters that emerged in the late 1930s to supplant traditional everyman characters, such as Mickey Mouse and Popeye, who were more popular earlier in the decade. Daffy appeared in 129 shorts in the Golden Age, third amongst Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons, behind Bugs Bunny's 166 appearances and Porky Pig's 152 appearances.
Virtually every Warner Bros. cartoon director put his own spin on the Daffy Duck character - he may be a lunatic vigilante in one short, but a greedy glory hound in another. Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones both made extensive use of these two very different versions of the character.
Daffy was #14 on TV Guide Magazine's list of top 50 best cartoon characters and was featured on one of the issue's four covers as Duck Dodgers with Porky Pig and the Powerpuff Girls (all of which are Time Warner-owned characters).

Transcripts[]
Daffy Duck in PARTY.MOV[]
(We see the text, PARTY.MOV, which transforms into a bloody format.)
Tweety Bird: (offscreen) Bor-ing! What else is on?
(Tweety Bird flips through some channels, and stops on a picture of Daffy Duck. A narrator with a dramatic-sounding voice begins talking in the style of a documentary.)
Narrator: Daffy Sheldon Duck was the first true celebrants of the looney world. Over the course of his life, the limelight he experienced broadcasted his most intimate moments to a sensationalist public, and the world watched as he transformed from an innocent pop icon loved by millions into a disastrous cautionary example about the dangers of an insatiable addiction to partying.
(Clips from the actual "Looney Tunes" are shown. The title card of the show, "True Merrie Melodies Story," then appears on the screen.)
(We see then the text, "DAFFY SHELDON DUCK," followed by some camera footage of Daffy Duck (dressed like a vest) chugging down a gallon of beer at a night club. Mac and Tosh are also there, cheering him on.)
Narrator: Daffy Duck's downward spiral began in 2009, on her twenty-first birthday.
Mac and Tosh: (background) Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!
(Daffy Duck vomits on both Mac and Tosh.)
(Daffy then walks out of the night club, drunk.)
Narrator: With new found freedom and his inhibitions entirely abandoned, he was left to explore a frightening night club world without a single notion of moderation.
(Daffy Duck passes out, and a paparazzi of people zoom in to take pictures of him on the ground.)
Daffy Duck: (mumbling, slowly) No, don't shoot my handsome purple prince...
Narrator: Wherever the party took him, the paparazzi shadowed his relentlessly, eager to document his tragic over-indulgence.
Daffy Duck: (mumbling) I think I'm getting my period...
(Daffy sprays blood all over the paparazzi.)
(We then see a photo of Daffy Duck, Mac, and Tosh with duck lips, then one of Daffy wih Jerry Cantrell of "Alice in Chains.")
Narrator: After a brief fling with Alice & Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell in 2010, Daffy Duck's partying escalated from drinking to heavy drug use.
(Tweety Bird is shown in an interview.)
Tweety Bird: He started chasing that yellow bird. Not me, 'cause I'm a yellow bird, but I mean, like, heroin. Oh, it's a metaphor, look it up, you have the Internet! But I mean, come on, everyone knows drugs are dangerous. (Tweety ironically takes out a bong, and smokes it.) (coughs) This isn't a drug! (snorts)
(Daffy Duck is shown sitting on a park bench, looking completely stunned.)
Narrator: Daffy's experimentation with cocaine also took its toll.
(Daffy's ridiculously huge eyes start twitching; he taps his foot multiple times; the tip of the feathers of his hair wobbles; and his hand taps on the bench uncontrollably. Petunia and Garrett Hunter walk by, just when Daffy starts to explode.)
Daffy Duck: (shouting, speaking quickly) You know what I can't stand? Internet piracy! How would you like it if musicians stole from you? (turns to Garrett Hunter) What if Cannibal Corpse stole your precious glasses? (turns to Petunia) And you! What would you do if Ringo Starr just waltzed into your house, and stole your... uh, favorite dress!
(Petunia looks frightened.)
Petunia Pig: I think I'd mostly just be confused?
(A video of Daffy performing a sex act on a not-yet-identified rooster is shown.)
Narrator: In 2011, the scandal reached its peak, when explicit footage leaked onto the Internet, featuring Daffy performing sex acts on a currently unidentified partner.
(Daffy stops performing his sex act, and looks at his partner.)
Daffy Duck: Yeah, that feel good, baby?
Foghorn Leghorn: Eeeyup!
(The cover of a magazine, known as "The National Merrier", is shown with a picture of Daffy wearing sunglasses and a trench coat. Behind his is the picture of him performing a sex act on Foghorn Leghorn. The cover also say, "D-DUCK SUCKS FAT ROOSTER COCK.")
Narrator: The tabloids were merciless.
(Tweety Bird is still getting interviewed.)
Tweety Bird: Oh, he'd fuck anyone. Chicks, dudes, didn't matter. Fat guys, skinny guys, guys who climb on rocks, dogs, cats, squirrels, bugs, snails. He fucked a snail! I watched him fuck a snail once. That sounds weird, right, just hearing me say it? Imagine how weird it was to see it. (loudly) He fucked a snail!
(A dark blue background with a tape recorder is shown.)
Narrator: As the partying continued to become more extreme, Daffy became belligerent, and lashed out at her friends; (Daffy Duck is heard repeatedly saying Tweety Bird's name.) on several occasions, calling them in the wee hours of the morning.
Daffy Duck: Tweeeettttyyyyy...
Tweety Bird: What?
Daffy Duck: Tweeeettttyyyyy...
Tweety Bird: What?
Daffy Duck: Tweeeettttyyyyy...
Tweety Bird: What?
Daffy Duck: Tweeeettttyyyyy...
Tweety Bird: What? Who is this?
Daffy Duck: It's Dafffffffyyyyy
Tweety Bird: What do you want?
Daffy Duck: I always thought you were cute. Come over and kiss me.
Tweety Bird: I think I'd rather stick my dick in an anthill.
Daffy Duck: I want you... to get some beer... get some oxycontin... come to my house...
Tweety Bird: Let me stop you right there because I'm not going to do any of this. It's 3 AM.
Daffy Duck: Come on birdie, I thought we were friends.
Tweety Bird: Well, no offense friend, but I hope you're buried alive.
Daffy Duck: (grunts) Hang on... there's this stupid bitch staring at me...
SILENCE
Daffy Duck: Oh wait, that's me, I'm looking in a mirror.
SILENCE
Daffy Duck: Hang on, I gotta go talk to this mirror, I'll call you back, Tweety.
HANGS UP
Tweety Bird: AM I THE ONLY SANE ONE IN THIS CRAZY WORLD OF TECHNICOLOR LOONEY WEIRDOS?
(Bugs Bunny is shown in an interview.)
Bugs Bunny: I thought it might motivate Daffy to get straightened out if we got a bunch of his friends together and sat him down. Not because I care about him, but, you know... Elements of Loonatics.
(Bugs' shown dragging a drunk Daffy to a room at the rehab center.)
Narrator: And so Bugs set his plan into action.
Daffy Duck: (shoves Bugs aside) Don't touch me, motherfucker.
(Bugs look all over the place to see if the other main looneys are there. He first sees Jackie, lifting his legs, sitting next to Barnyard Dawg (who is still a decorative toaster cozy). Jackie looks up, and waves hello.)
(Bugs looks again and sees Mac, who is pregnant while smoking, sitting next to Tosh, who is texting on his phone.)
Tosh: I'm texting my dog.
Bugs Bunny: What kind of turnout is this?! (Bugs pulls onto the screen, and whispers to Tweety.) Tweety, this is supposed to be an intervention! Where is everylooney?
Tweety Bird: Taz is in a coma, Porky Pig's being held captive by Mexicans, Wile E. Coyote's in the nuthouse, and Road Runner is dead. Any more questions, smart-ass?
(Daffy Duck vomits on Tweety Bird, who is completely annoyed by this.)
Tweety Bird: (moans) I knew I should've stayed in bed today. (audience laughs)
Bugs Bunny: Daffy Duck, you need help. You're addicted to parties!
Daffy Duck: Shut up, you're just jealous 'cause boys think I'm handsomer than you! You have a big rabbit face!
(Bugs' head looks like a real rabbit face.)
Bugs Bunny: No, I don't! (makes a rabbit sound)
Daffy Duck: (sad) You guys aren't my friends. My only friend is 40 oz of 190 proof straight vodka.
(Daffy starts drinking his vodka. The gulping sound has a low and deep sound, and, eventually, it gets high and shallow. Bugs (whose head turned back to normal) and Tweety (who is still covered in vomit) look angry, and then eventually amazed.)
Tweety Bird: That's impossible. Fuck, me, Daffy, you are amazing!
(Daffy Duck passes out on the floor, and everyone stares in pity.)
Daffy Duck: (groans) I think I'm having my period.
(Daffy sprays blood all over Tweety.)
Tweety Bird: Oh dear god, it GOT IN MY MOUTH! You got any more fluids you wanna spray on me, you stupid c**t?
Bugs Bunny: Yeah, this could've gone better.
Mac: It's twins, in case anyone's gonna ask.
(Mac is shown in an interview, rubbing his pregnant belly while smiling.)
Mac: I'm gonna name 'em Thomas and Joseph.
Narrator: In a PR attempt to be perceived as more of a victim of circumstance, Daffy released an autobiography entitled, "My Daddy Made Me Put Glass In My Tonsils", (The said autobiography appears onscreen. The cover depicts Daffy Duck trembling in fear, as tall man (who's supposed to represent his father) is about to beat him.) describing in great detail his relationship with his father, the Reverend Dummy Andrew Duck.
(Daffy's parents, Danica Elizabeth Duck and Dummy Andrew Duck, are shown in an interview.)
Dummy Duck: Don't believe a word this book says. I didn't insert glass into my son's genitals, ok? (reads from autobiography) I didn't force him to eat his own hair. I did not hit him over the head with a Sega Dreamcast in a fit of drunken hysteria. And I did not lock him in the basement and blast "Blood on the Dance Floor" for seventeen hours straight, when he refused to say the Lord's Prayer. (looks away) What is that, a band? I don't even know!
(Daffy Duck's shown in an interview.)
Daffy Duck: Yes, I lied about my father. But I had a good reason. Nobody was paying any attention to me.
(Sad music plays, as photos of Daffy Duck at ages one, five, and seventeen are shown.)
Narrator: Daffy Duck's story is a tragic tale of how fame, money, and indulgence can bastardize any of us. If something as pure and adorable as a fluffy black duck can be tempted into a sinful life of self-destruction, none of us are safe.
(Daffy Duck is shown in a mugshot, looking very pale and ill.)
Narrator: After an arrest for attempting to shoplift large quantities of ammonia and pseudo-ephedrine in April of 2012, Daffy is currently once again undergoing rehabilitation, and his future is uncertain.
(The narrator is finally shown in person, sitting on a couch stroking Daffy Duck, who is lying in his lap.)
Narrator: You might ask yourself why things like this can happen. Are we, the public, to blame? Is it our sadistic lust for watching these giants fall and crumble, that pressures them into their ultimate downfall? And finally, why do we, as the media, choose to report all of this to you? The answer is simple: because there is not a single thing happening in this world right now that's more important than the personal lives of celebrities.
(Ironically, the scene cuts to Looney Town, which is in complete destruction. Gossamer and Hugo are shown having sex, while the R-Runner 5000 reveals that it learned how to duplicate itself; as thousands of tiny robots are flying everywhere saying, "Crush. Kill. Destroy. Swag.")
(Scene goes back to the narrator.)
Narrator: Daffy Duck has brought smiles and joy to so many looneys throughout the years. With how exhausting it can be to bring happiness to others, perhaps it's no surprise that he seeks parties as an escape from her stressful life. Regardless of it all, one thing is certain: we should all be far less judgmental of this innocent, handsome creature.
(As the scene fades out on Daffy Duck being stroked, the screen then goes black. As soon as the show ends, the narrator bends over and whispers to Daffy.)
Narrator: Psst, hey, um, hm, what, uh, what are your rates?
Daffy Duck: (looks up with a smug look on his face) Ten for a tuggie, twenty for a blowie, and twenty-five if the cameraman's gonna watch.
(A trailer for SWAG.MOV starts with the text (in bold letters) saying, "NEXT TIME... ...ON THE EPIC CONCLUSION!")
(Scene goes to Looney Town in total annihilation. Not only is it caused by Gossamer, Hugo, and the R-Runner 5000 clones, but also by a tornado and meteors that are falling from the sky.)
(The text then says, "WILL ROAD RUNNER BE ABLE TO SAVE LOONEY TOWN?")
(Scene goes to Road Runner sitting under a tree (still dead, with the afro he got from MAGIC.MOV) with a bored-looking Tweety Bird poking him with a stick.)
(The text is then shown in big letters saying, "PROBABLY NOT!!!")
(The text finally says, "DON'T MISS... THE LOONEY TUNES.MOV SERIES FINALE! SWAG.MOV!")
(We see the text, "YOU JUST WATCHED AN ANIMATED PARODY OF LOONEY TUNES ON THE INTERNET," along with the scary Wile E. Coyote trademark from the previous episodes.)
(The HOTDIGGEDYDEMON.COM logo appears, along with the credits.)
