Daffy Duck in Hollywood is a 1938 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Tex Avery, and the last of three shorts he would direct with Daffy Duck. The short was his sixth overall appearance, and his third cartoon in color.The plot is set at Wonder Pictures Studio ("If it's a good picture—it's a WONDER!"), where producer I.M. Stupendous orders one of his directors, Von Hamburger, to rush the latest motion picture through the pipeline. Unfortunately for the portly filmmaker, madcap waterfowl Daffy Duck has decided to pay a visit to the studio, and, for no particular reason, he proceeds to constantly screw up Von Hamburger's attempts to make his movie, which eventually concludes with Daffy stumbling across the studios film library, prompting him to try his hand at making his own movie by randomly grabbing films out of the cans and splicing them together without any rhyme or reason, and switching out his franken-film with the director's finished product.Not to be confused with the short "Hollywood Daffy", nor the video game called "Daffy Duck In Hollywood" (which shares only the setting and character with the cartoon).It is also worth noting that Daffy's oddly assembled "movie" in the cartoon, Gold Is Where You Find It, is generally considered to be an early precursor to the modern remix video phenomenon that we call YouTube Poop. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Early in the film, I.M. Stupendous tells the audience that he thinks Daffy is screwy. Later, Daffy steals Von Hamburger's cigarette and uses the smoke to form the words Warner Bros., after which Daffy says to the audience: | |

Non-Indicative Name: "Gold Is Where You Find It" has no gold to speak of, unless you count it as comedic gold.note However, it does start off with Stock Footage of hydraulic mining, which was used to extract gold in California. | |

Stylistic Suck | |
| Daffy Duck in Hollywood / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: Daffy's movie is a nonsensical mess assembled from movie stock footage, and has more in common with a clip show than anything resembling a real movie. The film doesn't even last two minutes of screen time. | |

Butt-Monkey: Von Hamburger is a pompous and haughty director, but he really doesn't do anything to deserve to be on the receiving end of Daffy's antics, which give him no shortage of trouble while he's making his movie. Fortunately, he gets to turn the tables on Daffy in the end. | |

Hong Kong Dub: Near the end of Daffy's film, when the stock footage of the fat lady says "I'm happy all over, thank you.", her lips aren't even moving. It works in favor of the cartoon's humor (and how slapdash Daffy's movie is). | |

Springtime for Hitler: Despite Daffy's antics and Von Hamburger's fears, "Gold is Where You Find It" completely wins over I.M. Stupendous. Von Hamburger seemed to have gone nuts from the shock, though, as Daffy Duck inherits his position as director, while Von Hamburger becomes as crazy as Daffy! | |

Soundtrack Dissonance: Played for Laughs in Daffy's film, where an upbeat tune of "California, Here I Come" is juxtaposed over a platoon of soldiers walking through a heavy rainstorm. The "Jitterbug" scene features a jazzy, fast paced song playing over a very slow ballroom dance. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Daffy Duck in Hollywood / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Von Hamburger's name is a parody of director Josef von Sternberg. Gold Is Where You Find It was the name of an actual Warners Bros. film from the same year the cartoon was made. The cartoon contains a brief clip of hydraulic mining taken from the movie. The clip of the soldiers marching is from Gold Diggers of 1933. The "Jitterbug" scene is a clip from "Madame Du Barry" (1934). The burlesque girls in the beauty pageant is a clip from the movie "Bright Lights" (1935). The fat lady who wins the beauty pageant in Daffy's movie is taken from Freaks. | |
