Drip-Along Daffy (1951) watch online HD

The graphics set this one up. We see decked-out cowboy Daffy Duck riding on a beautiful horse and the screen reads: "Western-type hero." Following him is Porky Pig riding a donkey. It says, "Comic Relief." Then, after some Monument Valley-type scenery, we see "Lawless Small Town." The sign says, "Snake-Bite Center: population 350, which quickly changes to 349 followed by another sign that comes out saying, "sheriff wanted." The next thing we see is the cemetery where the sign reads, "Population: 23,472,987 sheriffs."

You get the picture. This is a rough town where the small ice-cream booth is called "Custard's Last Stand" and horses are even shooting each other!

Daffy is going to clean up this "one-horse town." Well, he does...... sort of. This is one of the funniest cartoons I have ever seen - just fabulous. Great artwork, too!

Followed-up by My Little Duckaroo, Drip-Along Daffy is one of my favorite cartoons. Daffy is the star, playing a Western-type hero who becomes sheriff of a town in disarray, accompanied by his one-man fanclub, comedy relief in Porky Pig. The antagonist is Nasty Canasta, the core of all the trouble. So if our inept hero can rid the town of Canasta in a one-on-one shootout, all the problems will be solved. With Daffy responsible for the fate of the town, the prospect seems bleak, doesn't it? The animation is excellent. Jones' simple use of subtle expressions is at its glorious best here. Canasta can't really be called a character since he's just a one-dimensional prop, part of the background for Daffy and the show-stealing Porky. For any fan of the greedy, overly confident Daffy, a must-see.

Especially the opening of this cartoon is terrific. Daffy Duck becomes sheriff in a town where someone gets shot every second, what we see in the opening sequence. Porky Pig is his helper. There is one big villain and in a man to man duel Daffy and the villain will decide who will live and who will not. Porky has an important role in that part.

A very nice short with, like I said, an opening sequence that will make you laugh many times. The other parts of the short are nice, although not hilarious. With Daffy things do not go as planned and that gives Porky the chance to make us laugh a couple of times. A fun cartoon. Mel Blanc as the voice of Daffy Duck and Porky Pig.

Daffy Duck is the `western hero type' and Porky Pig his `comedy relief' sidekick. They arrive in a `typical lawless town' to find violence and lawlessness is rife. Things get off to a shaky start but Daffy soon learns that all the crime comes from one man - a man that Daffy must face up to.

I'm a really big fan of Daffy Duck and always feel that he is at his best when he is in his early persona of being manic and wacky. Even when he becomes more cynical and greedy he still manages to be one of my favourite Warner Brothers characters. Here he is played as a bit of a pompous duck, so a touch of his later side here; he is the butt of most of the gags as he tries to be heroic but really flops. The material is reasonably good as he is defeated again and again by the main outlaw; it isn't hilarious but Daffy takes it well.

He doesn't carry the film himself though; in fact Porky actually does a great deal of the hard work and manages to slowly steal the cartoon from under Daffy. Daffy is still good though, but the fact that he is the joke here takes away from him being the leading character. The outlaw is a nice bit of stereotypical animation and works on that level - but you wouldn't call him a character in that way.

Overall this isn't hilarious but it works as a nice little western spoof. As a Daffy fan it was difficult to see him being the brunt of every joke here, but he works it well. Not a great example of Daffy at his best but still worth seeing; Porky also continues his habit of stealing scenes from Daffy despite always playing a minor role.

Drip-Along Daffy is great fun from start to finish. While it is essentially a nice cartoon, a lot of it is hilarious. Helped hugely by some excellent artwork and a rousing Western theme tune, the plot tells of Daffy, portrayed as a rather inept hero trying to clean up "the one horse town" and his struggles with Nasty Canasta. A vast majority of the gags are verbal, and delivered flawlessly by Mel Blanc. But the scene with the drinks is absolutely hilarious and the showdown is a real treat.

While Daffy serves his part well as the inept hero, it is Porky really who steals the show as his sidekick. Particularly when he uses a miniature toy nutcracker to help Daffy to defeat Nasty Canasta. Overall, this cartoon is very enjoyable. 8/10 Bethany Cox

"Drip-Along Daffy" is a superb Daffy Duck/Porky Pig cartoon Western directed by Chuck Jones. Daffy (labeled as "Western-Type Hero") and Porky ("Comic Relief") travel on horseback to a corrupt little town, which they hope to clean up. As you might expect, Daffy is full of arrogant confidence about his abilities as a sheriff, but he is completely ineffectual! The unshaven Porky, meanwhile, is just on hand as Daffy's stooge, but Porky ultimately becomes the hero of this cartoon.

Here are my favorite scenes from "Drip-Along Daffy" (don't read any further until after you have seen this cartoon). Among plenty of opening sight gags is an intersection where stoplights control the gunfight traffic. Watch how Daffy and Porky physically react to the brew they drink. During Daffy's showdown with Nasty Canasta, the numerous Western camera angles are FANTASTIC; Porky uses a miniature toy nutcracker soldier to help the ineffective Daffy defeat his archenemy.

Carl Stalling's music score for "Drip-Along Daffy" is GREAT! Listen, for example, to the wonderful piano accompaniment as Daffy enters the saloon. Or how about Porky's song "The Flower of Gower Gulch" during the opening credits?

With an unmistakable Western theme, this Daffy Duck short is almost bursting with gags, some of them only all right, but most of them are very good! With the characters good, the plot good, the setting good and the jokes good - how else could this Daffy Duck episode live up to a good standard. Oh yes - why not the theme and the hero!?

This episode introduces Daffy Duck as a "Western Type Hero" and Porky as a "Comedy Relief". Then a "Lawless Western Town" is introduced and as we see the town-folk are not doing well at all. Just when all hope seems lost, Daffy Duck shows up on his trusty steed with his sheriff star badge and he gallops to the rescue! He and Porky have got a very funny and surprising adventure ahead of them.

Good for Daffy Duck fans interested in the little black duck's modern episodes and for people who like funny western cartoon shorts, enjoy "Drip-Along Daffy"! :-)

Daffy Duck along with comedy sidekick Porky Pig go to a old west town only to discover the local sheriff is dead. So Daffy becomes the new sheriff and has to fend with the likes of Nasty Canasta. While not among the best of Looney Tunes that I've seen, it's still pretty good. Also it's nice to hear Porky's last line which is cut whenever the short airs on television. I never really understood that, by the way, you have gun play throughout the short AND an implied joke of panther's urine, but a joke about cleaning up horse poo is a no no?? Now that IS looney. This funny cartoon is on Disk 2 of the "Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1". It also has an optional commentary track as well as a music-only track.

My Grade: B

Of all Chuck Jones's brilliant genre spoofs featuring Porky Pig and Daffy Duck, 'Drip Along Daffy' is one of the best loved and is only dwarfed by the classic duo of 'Robin Hood Daffy' and 'Duck Dodgers in the 24th ½ Century'. A hilarious parody of Westerns, 'Drip Along Daffy' finds Daffy all too willingly taking on the role of cowboy hero. A bewhiskered Porky, we are informed by a caption, is the comedy relief. This proves to be somewhat of a misnomer as it is in fact Daffy who provides the majority of the laughs as his heroic posturing is quickly diminished by his trademark buffoonery and a frightening encounter with villain Nasty Canasta. Despite some impeccably timed physical comedy, the biggest laughs in 'Drip Along Daffy' come from the verbal gags, a particularly on form Mel Blanc nailing every line with hysterically accurate observation. I find myself particularly floored every time by Daffy's disbelieving "You wouldn't dare", as he witnesses Nasty Canasta's horrifyingly toxic drink being mixed. 'Drip Along Daffy' is another typically classy Jones film which shows exactly why he's such a treasured director. Porky's final line is the icing on the cake.

Our favorite duck goes into an old Western town to clean it up. The number of dead sheriffs is off the charts. He and Porky come in and what follows are a series of great moments. When he confronts the bad guy, he is faced with a literal monstrosity. There are great visuals, like a place called "Custard's Last Stand." Overconfident, Daffy find himself saved by an interesting event.

"Drip-Along Daffy" is an American cartoon from 1951, so this one has its 65th anniversary this year. The director is Chuck Jones, writer is Mike Maltese and these two, along with lead (voice) actor Mel Blanc, worked on many Warner Bros. cartoons together. This one here is among the more known ones. It has Daffy Duck come to a western city where law is absent and we witness his attempts to restore order. But he could be nicer to his "comic relief" deputy sheriff Porky. In the end, the good prevails though and everybody (except the bad guys) is happy. I enjoyed the watch here. It is not too memorable before Daffy enters the picture, but then it gets fairly funny. The devilish drink sequence is the film's highlight. Pretty enjoyable despite (or because of?) the absence of Bugs this time. Go check it out.

Hilarious western parody directed by Chuck Jones and starring Daffy Duck as a "western type hero" and Porky as his "comedy relief" sidekick. The duo try to bring law to a lawless town which doesn't sit well with notorious outlaw Nasty Canasta. Porky sings an amusing song called "The Flower of Gower Gulch." So many funny parts of this one. Love all the signs for the people and places. The horse wearing a mask and holding up the blacksmith for horseshoes may be the most priceless gag I've seen all year. Some very funny dialogue from Daffy. Great voice work from Mel Blanc. Lively music from Carl Stalling. The animation is excellent with nice colors and well-drawn characters, backgrounds, and action. It's a real classic; one of my favorite Daffy & Porky shorts.

Okay. This Warner Bros. cartoon is not the greatest one ever made. It doesn't have the best animation in a Looney Tunes cartoon, nor does it have any scenes that stand out among the others. But, in my opinion, it is one of the most hilarious cartoons to ever be produced. Something funny is occurring in every second of this highly enjoyable cartoon.

The cartoon opens with several hilarious jokes involving guns, all taking place in the old west. Porky and Daffy then enter the cartoon, with Daffy Duck attempting to prove himself a hero. Then, a funny but fairly emotionless villain named Nasty Canasta offers Daffy an alcoholic(and perhaps toxic) drink that causes Daffy to get drunk after only a couple of sips. Once Daffy sobers up, he becomes angry and proposes a showdown with Nasty Canasta. As it turns out, however, Porky Pig shoots Nasty Canasta before Daffy has a chance. Porky becomes sheriff, and asks Daffy to literally clean up the "one-horse" Western town.

This is one of the most hilarious Looney Tunes ever produced, with a really well-written script by Michael Maltese and impeccable timing by Chuck Jones. VERY FUNNY

Drip-Along Daffy (1951)

*** (out of 4)

Daffy Duck and his comedy relief Porky Pig arrive in a lawless town so Daffy decides to become sheriff and clean the place up. Before he can do that he must deal with the ruthless Nasty Canasta. This spoof of the Western genre is a winning entry into the Merrie Melodies series and I'm sure fans of the genre will get a nice little kick out of it. It's certainly not the best the series ever offered up but it's still 7-minutes worth of nice entertainment. The best thing about the movie is of course Daffy who really goes all out in his maniac-type of way. The scene involving the mixed drinks was priceless as was another sequence when Daffy first kicks through the bar doors. Being from Jones I always look for that small little thing that some might not notice and this time out it was the great whiskers on Porky.

. . . is a precious birthright gift, NOT to be taken lightly or polluted by TV personalities desperately tackling foreign tongue-twisters with spraying spittle in their misguided Crusade to be "Politically Correct," we learn again in this ahead-of-its-time animated short from the 1950s, DRIP-ALONG DAFFY. About 5:46 into this 7:20-minute-long cartoon, Sheriff Daffy Duck gives outlaw Nasty Canasta an ultimatum beginning, "Listen, hombre, if you're not out of town by sundown . . . !" Only Daffy pronounces the second (as subtitled) word here to rhyme with "Bomber," NOT the PC "Bombay." Though those toothy TV jackals would content themselves to use the latter enunciation, Daffy's straight-talking from the hip translates this H-Word of dubious origin into proper Americanese. Daffy's challenge leads to Canasta's downfall, presaged by a series of camera angle viewpoints later stolen Carte Blanche by the director of Gary Cooper's definitive American Western, HIGH NOON. Today's parents would be well-advised to inoculate their kids with Classic Looney Tunes, before America gets just as contaminated as France.

This cartoon from director Chuck Jones and starring Daffy Duck ("western-type hero") and Porky Pig ("comic relief") is a hilarious spoof of westerns that dominated kiddie matinées for years. Daffy is the new sheriff in town assigned to get rid of Nasty Canasta. A favorite sequence is Canasta ordering a certain drink that requires the bartender to wear a steel mask as the liquid is so poisonous that the ice run away in fear! When Daffy gets his glass, he gives it to Porky who seems all right after swallowing it. Daffy then gets another serving, takes it, then gets a funny look on his face as he suddenly starts to recite "Mary Had a Little Lamb" with Porky then saying the next line with the same look! There's a twist ending that vindicates Porky that I won't reveal here. All in all, Drip-Along Daffy is one funny cartoon.

I remember in a documentary about Chuck Jones, he talked about having created the various kinds of camera angles for "Drip-Along Daffy" (as Daffy and the criminal approach each other). Obviously, this is just a cartoon, so they didn't really have camera angles, but it just goes to show the magic of these cartoons. And believe me, what happens here is really whacked-out, with Daffy trying to become a sheriff in a lawless Old West town, but Porky has his own plans.

So, if nothing else, this is a solid addition to the pantheon of classic Looney Tunes cartoons. You just can't beat this kind of stuff.

Yes, he is lucky that there's only one horse.
