That's not true. He's been portrayed as selfish (early Daffy wasn't, just literally "looney" and crazy [check out the 1930s and 1940s cartoons he was in]), but he's never been stupid to the point of not knowing what Bugs' fav veggie is or of his catchphrase, especially when he's probably used the phrase himself. That's out of character.

Also, I thought it was strange that he didn't know who Superman was. He's teamed up with Superman in the past! Heck he's a member (sorta) of the Green Lantern Corps! And it seems that later on (according to the clips) that he apperantly is aware of Batman.

It's like you people don't know how either cartoons or jokes work.

*Turo602* · 05-05-2011, 04:17 PM

Yeah, I did notice that he was too stupid but it's Looney Tunes. I don't take character development serious with this show. It's always been a goofy funny show. As long as the show isn't boring and can make me laugh and of course the characters aren't too far from what I know them to be then I'm good with this show.

Everything else than CGI'd Wile E. Coyote looked good! Porky Pig and Daffy in court cracked me up

*AT-Man* · 05-05-2011, 07:14 PM

By the way...

...that door...

**Jester** · 05-05-2011, 07:28 PM

Nope. Only one ep out. It premiered on monday and will air every monday night at 8pm on Cartoon Network.

**Jester** · 05-05-2011, 07:50 PM

June Foray was also...
Natasha Fatale
Nell (Dudley Do Right)
Jane Kangaroo (Horton Hears a Who)
Iggy Nutmeg & Grandmaa Nutmeg (Heathcliff 1980)

Also the only other female voice Warner Brothers also used in the classic cartoons was Bea Benaderet (Betty Rubble, Petticoat Junction)

As for the new series, I'm glad they put Merrie Melodies as an intermission segment.

Are u refering to the shorts that have been played in theatres since last year?

**Jester** · 05-05-2011, 11:19 PM

You say that like I've been in a theater since last year.

Seriously, I can't remember the last movie I saw in theaters....
EDIT: Just asked my wife...Toy Story 3. So less than a year...18 June 2010-ish

The good looney tunes.
Daffy has all ways been self-centered, arrogent and naive. Not retard or special.

**Jester** · 05-05-2011, 11:57 PM

He didn't come off as "special" too me.

I'm sorry. Was I talking to you?

That was the whole point. He's so self-centered that he doesn't notice the most obvious things about others because all he cares about is himself. GEEEEEEEEEEEEE WHIZ.

Also arrogant.

Yeah, that was odd too. Personally, the "best Daffy" is the early one. I liked when he was crazy and insane. The main thing I like about this Daffy, though, is that he is coming across as Bugs' friend, and not as a rival to try and one-up. I never did care for that, 'cept for Duck Season, Wabbit Season shorts.

I'm curious why out of all of the characters, why his character ended up being changed the most in personality over the years. Everyone else is more or less the same. Even Elmer Fudd, despite singing about a "Gwilled Cheese Sandwich".

Of course we know how a joke works, but like I said, it was odd for Daffy's character, because he's not particularly stupid. Self-centered Daffy would've known those things. I just felt they should've done that with something else or did so in a different way to get the joke across. The premise was funny to me, but Daffy not knowing those two things, was just too off for me. He wasn't even coming across as self-centered to me. He was coming across as being literally stupid.

I guess I could watch it too. Like I said, the premise was funny (not a first with Bugs and Daffy anyway, as there has been an older cartoon where the two were pitted together to win a prize because their names were drawn on some best friend show), but I just hated the fact that they had Daffy mess up on those two particular questions when he's imitated Bugs before.

Wow, Bea Benaderet! I forgot she was also another female voice actress for Warner Bros, also uncredited, just like June Foray was. I wonder if they started having June take over for any roles Bea may have been doing when she died.

So these things have been shown in theaters? Wow. I haven't been to the movies since...2008, I think.

When did that awkward Harry Potter 6 movie come out?

The CGI Road Runner/Wiley Coyote ones have been shown in theatres at least.

Oh and interesting to note that according to the character bios on the show's website Speedy owns a pizzaria...um....then why was he mooching food off Bugs and Daffy?

Other interesting notes:

Mac and Tosh own an antique store (Is it called 2nd Time Around?

)

Gossamer is now the Witch's son (her name is Lazeh...which is Hazel backwards) and is currently attending middle school

Taz is uh Bugs' pet...

Pepe apperantly has tons of ex-wives (oh that'll be fun...how many are cats I wonder?)

Yosemite Sam lives next door to Bugs and Daffy

Marvin went to high school with Daffy. He was the nerdy foreign exchange student.

Impossible. Bea Benaderet died in 1968, while she was doing Petticoat Junction.

I was referring to voice roles she might have been doing at the time or might have done at the time. I know she died while doing Petticoat Junction. For example, Betty Rubble. I know the original run of the series ended prior to her death, but could June have taken over for her in the versions after that? Okay, I know she didn't, but that's the type of stuff I was referring to.

Sorta like how Jim Cummings took over for Sterling Holloway after he died for some of his roles.
