'''''Duck Dodgers''''' was a 2003-2005 animated TV series based off the classic 1953 [[Looney Tunes]] short, ''[[Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century]]'', by [[Chuck Jones]]. The series aired on [[Cartoon Network]].

It was especially notable among [[Looney Tunes]] properties as the main star was not [[Bugs Bunny]], but [[Daffy Duck]], as Captain Duck Dodgers: a [[~~Ted~~ ~~Baxter~~]] now forced into full-on [[Genius Ditz]] mode as the noble defender of the Galactic Protectorate... while still being kind of a [[Jerkass]]. All of which led to the unusual situation of the main character filling the role of both [[The Hero]] and [[The Millstone]], as nearly half the situations to be resolved were directly Dodgers' fault to begin with.

He is paired with [[Porky Pig]], who reprises his role as the sensible competent and [[~~Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|~~Eager Young Space Cadet]]. The show also stars returning opponent Marvin the Martian as [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]] Commander X-2.

''Duck Dodgers'' also had several cameos by established Looney Tunes stars with appropriate science fiction trappings ([[Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner|Wile E. Coyote]] played a very obvious ''[[Predator]]'' [[Homage]] in one episode), often using them to lampoon or satirize the very genre they were portraying in classic Looney Tunes style. The episode "The Green Loontern" is notable for featuring the [[Green Lantern]] characters from [[DC Comics]] after Duck Dodgers accidentally gets Hal Jordan's outfit at the cleaners.

* [[Visual Pun]]: In the theme song, the line, "Duck Dodgers, he's fighting tyranny," is timed with an image of the Martian Queen. Her name? Tyr'ahnee.

'''Dodgers''': Okay.

'''Sinestro''': Don't be such a sanctimonious fool! You don't realise the - did you say "okay"?
