What Makes Daffy Duck (which has a title card of Daffy Duck in "What Makes Daffy Duck") is a Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon, directed by the short-time director Arthur Davis, and starring Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd and a fox, whom Daffy addresses as "Fortescue." The film is notable as the fourth pairing of Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck, their first pairing being To Duck or Not to Duck and the second being The Stupid Cupid.

The title is a play on Budd Schulberg's 1941 novel What Makes Sammy Run?

Censorship

• When this cartoon broadcast on the former WB Network the following scene is edited: Daffy uses a duckcall to alert the Fox of the female duck (Elmer Fudd in disguise) sitting in the lake. The Fox grabs the duck/Elmer by the neck and starts running. Soon the Fox stops and asks "What kind of a duck is this?", opening up the top-half of the duck and revealing Elmer who points his rifle at the Fox's face and says "Muscwing in on my tewwitowy again, eh? I'm gonna bweak--". The Fox slams the top of the duck costume back down onto Elmer and flees, with Elmer in pursuit yelling, "I'll get you, you cwazy chawactuh!". On the WB!, the scene jumped from Daffy with the duckcall to Elmer running after the Fox and yelling, "Come back here, you cwazy chawacter!". Also cut (by the same channel) was the scene where Elmer holds the Fox at gunpoint after the Fox drowns in his boat. The cut version goes from the Fox drowning to Elmer calling the Fox a "doggone cwook".
