Daffy Duck: Difference between revisions

* [[Deuteragonist]]

* [[Dirty Coward]]: A self-confessed "craven little coward", though will occasionally defy his fears [[Berserk Button|if promises of fame and fortune are brought into the situation]].

* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Daffy was originally a mindless heckler who went about his antics for no clear motivation, and was adorned with a pudgy, tiny design. Clampett began fleshing out Daffy's character later on, before Jones, Freleng and McKimson settled into their own interpretations of the waterfowl.

* [[Embarrassing Middle Name]]: Daffy's had several middle names, though none of them official:

* [[Four-Fingered Hands]]

* [[Fur Is Clothing]]: In "The Wise-Quacking Duck", confronted with the oven, he distracts his antagonist by performing a strip-tease routine with his feathers.

* [[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).

* [[Mata Hari]]: Who else but [[Meaningful Name|Hata Mari]]?

* [[Money Fetish]]: Would do just about anything to get money.

* [[Multiple Choice Past]]: Chalk it up to [[Negative Continuity]]. He was raised by a little girl in the short "Nasty Quacks", grew up in an orphanage in ''[[Yet Another Christmas Carol|Bah, Humduck!]]'', and was raised by Granny (along with [[Spinoff Babies|all the other characters]]) in ''[[Baby Looney Tunes]]''.

* [[Non Sequitur Thud]]: Most notably "[[Duck Amuck]]".

* [[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 (Animation)|Daffy Duck and Egghead]]''.

* [[The Scrooge]]: Plays a modern variant in ''Bah Humduck, A Looney Tunes Christmas Carol''.

* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Manly Man to Porky's Sensitive Guy.

* [[Show Some Leg]]: Both [[Mata Hari|Hata Mari]] and the [[Femme Fatale]] in "The Super Snooper" try this, although the former is more successful.

** After having [[Took a Level In Jerkass]], he arguably leaned even further into this trope. In some of his bouts against Speedy and Bugs, he is an outright genuine villain (in comparison to the more playful [[Screwy Squirrel]] he usually was in the above examples), but still usually the primary focus.

* [[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.

* [[Word Salad Lyrics]]: His [[Talkative Loon]] version of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" in "Boobs in the Woods". (It's basically a rewrite of a similar song sung by the Bugs Bunny prototype character in "Hare-Um Scare-Um".)
