Yankee Doodle Daffy 1943 (dir Friz Freleng)

Say what you want but I've always hated Yankee Doodle Daffy from the day I say it as an 8 year old. It irritates the hell out of me. Banal plot, shallow and horribly animated.

Porky works as a talent scout and plans to take a half day, in order to play golf. In rushes Daffy announcing that his client, Sleepy la Goon is a star in the making. As Porky just wants to play golf, he ignores Daffy and runs away. No matter where Porky goes, Daffy is right behind talking about La Goons talents.

In the end Porky relents and know he'll get some rest if he sees what la Goon offers.

La Goon, a minature, version of Daffy with a huge lollipop and straw hat inhales and begins to sing in a rich voice. But then he stumbles halfway through in a coughing fit.

and that's it.

not funny
not clever
quite juvenile.
