10 Classic Daffy Duck Cartoons

The beloved Warner Bros. animated water fowl character Daffy Duck made his first appearance 72 years ago, when the short Porky’s Duck Hunt first aired on April 17, 1932. Somehow, in the decades since, his brand of insane, non-squiturial humor has aged terrifically. As proof of his timeless humor, and in celebration of his momentous contributions to American animation history, Listicles offers these 10 Classic Daffy Duck Cartoons to pass your Friday.
