| Daffy Duck and Egghead | comment |
The one short that practically kicked off the Screwball Squirrel-type cartoon, "Fred" Avery's "Daffy Duck and Egghead", a Merrie Melodies short from January 1, 1938, while not the first in which Daffy Duck appears, is the first one in which Daffy is named, the first one in which Elmer Fudd (or rather, a prototypical version of him named Egghead) goes hunting, and the prime example of early Daffy Duck at his daffiest. Full of great gags, a song from Daffy and perfect pacing, it's a classic short to behold. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| Daffy Duck and Egghead / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Egghead's mannerisms are based on comedian Joe Penner. Midway through the cartoon the two are broke up by a turtle mimicking radio comic Harry "Parkyakarkus" Einstein. | |

Stealth Pun | |
| Daffy Duck and Egghead / int_1e7c47ab | comment |
Stealth Pun: Hidden behind some reeds, Egghead reaches up, pulls a cord, and the reeds fold down in slats, allowing him to see. They are, of course, duck blinds. | |

Chekhov's Gag | |
| Daffy Duck and Egghead / int_22cf50f9 | comment |
Chekhov's Gag: During Daffy's version of the below song, at one point, his reflection joins in. At the very end of the cartoon, when Egghead finally catches him, this same reflection rescues him from Egghead. | |

The Cover Changes the Meaning | |
| Daffy Duck and Egghead / int_3f1f6c04 | comment |
The Cover Changes the Meaning: The original "Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" implies the Merry-Go-Round broke by simply not stopping and was otherwise an enjoyable extra long ride, Daffy's version implies the Merry-Go-Round began spinning faster and faster and faster and being stuck on it drove him mad. | |

Mad Hatter: When Egghead says, "That duck's crazy!" Daffy's response is "You're tellin' me!" (He subverts it later, though: "I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!") | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Daffy Duck and Egghead / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Daffy's collar is blue instead of white. Daffy doesn't really use his famous lisp, except when he sings "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down", and even then, only a slight lisp is heard. | |

Tree Cover: Parodied when Egghead wonders aloud about any other hunters being present. Several pop out from the background from both a tree and the tall grass to answer Egghead affirmatively. | |

Bowdlerization: The infamous moment when Egghead shoots a member of the audience that was distracting him from his hunt was cut when aired on Cartoon Networknote (American feed only; overseas Cartoon Network channels have this uncut, though Cartoon Network America has aired this uncut once), Boomerangnote (American feed only; overseas Boomerang channels have aired this uncut), and the former WB network. | |

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy | |
| Daffy Duck and Egghead / int_a796d2a6 | comment |
Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: An interestingly justified version. Egghead must have been a top graduate of the academy. To sum it up, his aim is so awful that he can't hit the apple on Daffy's head, even when Daffy is standing in front of the gun, with the apple directly in front of the barrel. (Amusingly, he can hit the broad side of a barn.) Upon this Epic Fail, Daffy promptly fits Egghead with dark glasses, a cup filled with pencils, and a sign that reads, "Blind." | |

Amusingly Awful Aim | |
| Daffy Duck and Egghead / int_e0e3397e | comment |
Amusingly Awful Aim: Egghead tries to shoot Daffy, with Daffy teasing him by putting an apple over his head a la William Tell. However, Egghead misses every single shot, even as Daffy steps closer with each shot. When Egghead misses at point-blank range, Daffy puts sunglasses on him, hangs a sign that reads "blind" around his neck, hands him some pencils to sell, and walks away sighing, "Too bad." | |
