Daffy Duck is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes series of cartoons. Most of his cartoons were directed by Chuck Jones and his voice was provided by Mel Blanc.

Unlike Bugs Bunny who represents victory. Daffy Duck represents defeat. He is well known for messing up situations that he is in. He appears with Bugs Bunny in a number of cartoons in which Bugs ends up in the advantage. He also appears with Porky Pig in a number of parodies of television and movie genres of the 1940's and 1950's.

In his early career he was merely irascible, not unlike Donald, but Jones's direction revealed a deeper duck. His appearance in Duck Amuck (1953) where an animator torments him by constantly changing his clothing, location, appearance, and even shape, is accounted a classic of filmmaking. At then end, the animator is revealed to be Bugs.
