Daffy Duck is a Looney Tunes star who now teaches at Acme Looniversity. He is the mentor and favorite teacher of Plucky Duck. On the Looney Tunes shorts, he is depicted as the best friend and occasional rival of Bugs Bunny.
Appearances on Tiny Toon Adventures
In the Season 1 episode Animaniacs, Daffy appears along with Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig as judges for the Acme Looniversity animation festival. Although the Looney Tunes are not too keen on seeing student films (Daffy claims it to be Bugs' revenge for all the Rabbit Season signs he puts up each year), Bugs doesn't give them much of a choice. The shortened version of The Plucky Duck Story becomes a refreshing change of pace after Shirley the Loon's 17-&-1/2-hour long film Song of the Loon, and thus wins first prize.
In the Season 1 episode Who Bopped Bugs Bunny?, Daffy attends Bugs' award ceremony, but is jealous of both Bugs' 1958 Shloskar and the fact that Bugs is getting another award that night. Sappy Stanley sends a robot copy of himself onstage and disguises himself as a female to kock out Bugs and steal his Shloskar undetected. He also spray-paints a fake award to frame Daffy for the crime, as Daffy has always been jealous of Bugs. Daffy gets arrested, but the Tiny Toons, knowing Daffy was innocent, try to solve the mystery for themselves. As Buster and Babs pester Stanley, Plucky Duck and Hamton J. Pig try unsuccessfully to rescue Daffy by disguising themselves as ninjas. Ungrateful that Plucky and Hamton tried to rescue him, Daffy tells them "Nice try, nin-jerks!" Plucky whispers to Hamton, "Next semester, I'm getting Foghorn for my mentor". Despite the fact that Stanley gets arrested at the end of the cartoon, Daffy, Plucky, and Hamton are not immediately released and are stuck making license plates. After making a license plate that says THE END, Daffy complains "This ending is despicable!"
