"Yankee Doodle Daffy" is a Warner Bros." Looney Tunes" theatrical cartoon short released in 1943, directed by Friz Freleng and written by Tedd Pierce. The short was one of the first Technicolor "Looney Tunes" to feature Porky Pig and Daffy Duck.

It was nominated for the 1943 Academy Award for Best Short Subjects (Cartoons).

The title and introductory music are inspired by the 1942 film "Yankee Doodle Dandy", a major hit and a Warner release. Other than the fact of both films being about show business, they have no plot elements in common. This is the first cartoon in the collection that came from public domain.

ynopsis

Daffy Duck, agent to the stars, complete with business card that flashes like a theater marquis, does everything he can to convince Porky Pig of "Smeller Productions" that his preadolescent client "Sleepy LaGoon" can become a star. This annoys Porky, as it is his day off and he has planned to play golf.

Daffy spends most of the cartoon telling Porky about what his client can do, while actually performing various schticks "himself", in his usual wild and frenetic way. After trying various ways to escape, Porky locks Daffy in a huge vault and takes off in a plane only to find out that the pilot of the plane is Daffy. Porky then jumps out with a parachute only to notice the parachute is again Daffy. Porky then gets chased back to his office. Finally, Porky relents and asks to see what his client can do. "Sleepy", a small and droopy-eyed duck who has whiled away the episode slurping a huge all-day sucker which he keeps in a banjo case, finally gets to perform. "Sleepy" begins to sing a song in a strong baritone voice. He starts out well, then tries to hit a high note, and goes into a coughing fit. Iris out.

Quotes

*Daffy: Yes sir, DAFFY DUCK! Personal representative of the most sensational discovery since the Sweater Girl! He's colossal, he's stupendous! One might even go so far as to SAY...he's mediocre!"

*Sleepy LaGoon: (Baritone Singing) "LET SPRING-TIME BLOSSOMS BLO-O-O-O-O-M AGAIN...IN THE GA-A-A-A-RDEN...O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-F...*Loudly hacks and coughs*...m-My Heart! *Coughs to Iris Out.*

References

In the 1988 TV special/compilation "", Daffy refers to his abrupt transition from banjo playing to Carmen Miranda impersonation as his "crossover hit, 'Banjo Chicky-Boom.'"

"Yankee Doodle Daffy" is, additionally, parodied in the South Park episode "The Passion of the Jew", when Stan and Kenny are trying to escape Mel Gibson's house.
