▲=== Daffy Duck (and his cartoons) have shown the following tropes: ===
* [[Acme Products]]: Daffy has been known to use these a few times.
* [[Alliterative Name]]
Line 317 ⟶ 318:
* [[Amusing Injuries]]
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type V
* [[Ash Face]]: Most infamously in the short "Rabbit Fire".
* [[Attention Whore]]: While the motivation of this trait has changed over the years, this has always been a consistent aspect of the character.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: While his over-the-top insanity was [[Cloudcuckoolander|usually fairly harmless]], he certainly [[Beware the Silly Ones|had his moments of this]], especially in "The Daffy Doc".
* [[Badly-Battered Babysitter]]: "The Up-Standing Sitter"
** Any time he has to watch his own kids ("Wise Quacks") or his eggs ("Quackodile Tears").
Line 325 ⟶ 326:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Most later interpretations, especially Chuck Jones' version, to the point of playing the [[Straw Loser]] in the series. It gets [[Deconstructed]] however, in ''Back in Action''.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: The [[Walter Lantz]] cartoon star [[Woody Woodpecker]] was, shall we way, "inspired" by Daffy's early screwball incarnation.
** He was even voiced by [[Mel Blanc]] in his first few appearances, and his debut cartoon "Knock Knock" ended in ''the exact same way'' as "[[Daffy Duck and Egghead]]".
* [[Carnivore Confusion]]: The Warner Bros. standard. This gets really bizarre in later cartoons like "Duck Soup to Nuts" and "Daffy Duck Hunt", where Daffy is almost as anthropomorphized as Porky.
* [[Catch Phrase]]:
** "You're desthpicable!"
** "[[Annoying Laugh|Woo hoo-hoo-HOO-hoo-hoo!]]" (while bouncing around like a maniac)
** "Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Century!"
** "Sufferin' succotash!" (pronounced "Thufferin' thuccotash!") quite often in earlier shorts, before it was given to the similarly-voiced Sylvester the cat.
* [[The Chew Toy]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Especially in earlier shorts, even the later more ambitious versions aren't all that stable at times.
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: Not only was he ''not'' conniving and arrogant in his early appearances, but he actually said Bugs Bunny ''was his hero''. Oh how the times have changed.
* [[Chick Magnet]]: Not an aspect that is always stressed but Daffy has had plenty of women fall for him. The gorgeous red headed duck Femme Fatale from "The Super Snooper" fell for him at first sight, lavished him with kisses and wanted to marry him right away. Another female in "The Duxorcist" allowed him to kiss her only moments after they met. Even Hatta Mari in Plane Daffy, who attempted to seduce him got turned on the second time they kissed. The Martian Queen Ty'ranee in Duck Dodgers loved him as well. ''[[The Looney Tunes Show]]'' pairs him with Tina. Not only that but there have been many times Daffy has been shown to be married to different female ducks with lots of kids. He is easily the most sexually active character out of the entire Looney Tunes crew.
** Possibly lampshaded in an old Gold Key comic story ("The Charming Chump") after he gets a talkative [[Abhorrent Admirer]] in the form of Debbie Duck:
{{quote|"Why am I so irresistible?"}}
Line 368 ⟶ 369:
* [[Harmless Villain]]: In most of his antagonist moments with Bugs and Speedy.
** [[Not-So-Harmless Villain]]: He could strive to be semi competent against Speedy at times however (see below).
* [[He-Man Woman Hater]]: He claims to be one in "Plane Daffy". It doesn't stop [[Ms. Fanservice|Hatta]] [[Non-Mammal Mammaries|Mari]] from trying to seduce him (and succeeding).
* [[Henpecked Husband]]: In ''The Henpecked Duck''.
** He also refers to himself as "a henpecked duck!" in "The Stupid Cupid", probably in reference to the aforementioned cartoon. Pretty much ''any'' time he's shown married, he's this. In "The Super Snooper", {{spoiler|he actively refuses to get involved with the gorgeous [[Femme Fatale]], even after she proves her innocence, for fear of letting it happen again: "She's got that ol' ball-and-chain look in her eyes!"}}
Line 381 ⟶ 382:
* [[It Amused Me]]: Rather consistantly in his earlier [[Screwy Squirrel]] years. He became more ambitious and "self prethervational" in his callousness in later shorts (though that doesn't mean he doesn't still enjoy it).
{{quote|"Survival of the fittest--and besides, it's ''fun."''}}
* [["I Want" Song]]:
** "Daffy Duck's Rhapsody" was partially this:
{{quote|''I would read the latest book''
Line 392 ⟶ 393:
* [[Jerkass]]: More and more so as time progressed, Chuck Jones actually revolved his interpretation around the term "Selfish".
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: He does have his moments on occasion though.
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: Astonishingly enough, Daffy is actually this to the rest of [[Speedy Gonzales]]' [[Rogues Gallery]]. While still highly comical in tone, the situations Speedy was placed in were sometimes a lot more dire against Daffy, who stands as the only villain [[Not-So-Harmless Villain|competant]] ([[Took a Level
** What about ''whipping poor mice'' in "Assault and Peppered"?
** And keeping mice from drinking out of a well [[For the Evulz]] in "Well Worn Daffy"? (And unlike Sylvester, does a formidable job fending Speedy off).
Line 403 ⟶ 404:
** "The Daffy Doc": "Where's a patient? Where's a patient? I gotta find a patient. I ''gotta'' find a patient."
** "[[Henpecked Husband|The Henpecked Duck]]": "Yes, m'love. Yes, m'love. YES, M'LOVE. ''YEEEEESSSSS'' M'LOVE!"
* [[Mata Hari]]: Who else but [[Meaningful Name|Hata Mari]]?▼
* [[Money Fetish]]: Would do just about anything to get money.
* [[Morally-Ambiguous Ducktorate]]
Line 411:
* [[Oh, No, Not Again]]: In "The [[The Exorcist|Duxorcist]]":
{{quote|"Oh brother! Not ''another'' [[Funny Schizophrenia|schizophrenic]] dame!"}}
* [[Phrase Catcher]]: In the older shorts, someone would always have to [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] "that duck's" insanity in some way, at which point Daffy would pop up and [[Mad Hatter|tell them that they were right]].
* [[Pooled Funds]]: Any time he got his hands on some cash.
* [[Rage Against the Author]]: "[[Duck Amuck]]"
Line 421:
* [[Screwy Squirrel]]: Daffy Duck pre-flanderization though he still retains it as another part of his personality, also an [[Ur Example]] of the entire trope. It's especially prominent in ''[[Daffy Duck and Egghead]]''.
* [[The Scrooge]]: Plays a modern variant in ''Bah Humduck, A Looney Tunes Christmas Carol''.
* [["Seen It All" Suicide]]: "[[The Scarlet Pumpernickel]]"
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Manly Man to Porky's Sensitive Guy.
Line 432 ⟶ 433:
* [[The Dark Age of Animation]]
* [[The Golden Age of Animation]]
* [[The Millennium Age of Animation]]
* [[The Renaissance Age of Animation]]
* [[This Loser Is You]]: Chuck Jones dreamed of being Bugs Bunny, then woke up as Daffy Duck.
* [[Throw the Pin]]: ''Speedy Ghost To Town''
* [[The Cameo]]: Daffy's head [https://web.archive.org/web/20130826060630/http://clxcool.deviantart.com/#/d4zdr3b can be seen] on a building in the movie [[Cool World]].
* [[Took a Level
* [[Took a Level In Kindness]]: In ''Bah Humduck, A Looney Tunes Christmas Carol'' in accordance with [[Yet Another Christmas Carol|nearly all variations of the story]]. Also in ''Bugs Bunny In King Arthur's Court'', despite taking the role of a greedy king, Daffy is noticeably tamer and bored with his role, passively helping Bugs and even willingly giving him his crown by the end of the film.
{{quote|'''Daffy:''' Who ever heard of a duck being king anyway?}}
Line 445 ⟶ 446:
* [[Traveling Salesman]]: In several shorts.
* [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]]
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: In the three [[Tex Avery]] Daffys, and some of the [[Bob Clampett]] directed shorts.
** After having [[Took a Level
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Type 2 with Porky, and Bugs, and Speedy... Usually the very people Daffy is trying to victimize in some manner are actually the closest he has to actual friends.
* [[With Friends Like These...]]: Again with all of the aforementioned three.
Line 454 ⟶ 455:
''Oh, you can't bounce a meatball, though try with all your might,''
''Turn on the radio, I want to fly a kite!'' }}
* [[Word, Schmord]]: "[[Ali Baba Bunny|Consequences, schmonsequences]]--[[Money Fetish|'long as I'm rich]]."
* [[Worthy Adversary]]: Subverted against Bugs, where he was even more [[Harmless Villain|harmless]] than Elmer. Oddly enough played more straight against Speedy, though still bumbling, existing as the sole villain to actually defeat, or even so much as invoke fear into the rodent. Even plays the trope's traditional chemistry, with Daffy, in almost a rare case of continuity, gaining a softer spot for Speedy in later shorts.
* [[Women Prefer Strong Men]]: In the short "Muscle Tussle," Daffy's girlfriend is swept off her feet by a muscular beach hunk.
* [[Yet Another Christmas Carol]]: Filled the "Scrooge" role in ''Bah Humduck! A [[Looney Tunes]] Christmas''.
* [[
