Good Noose

Good Noose is a 1962 Looney Tunes short directed by Robert McKimson.

Plot
Daffy Duck stows away on a ship and must convince the captain that he is a magician to avoid being hanged.

Why It's Despicable?
The plot heavily revolves Daffy Duck trying to avoid being hanged. Due to the short's plot, it ended up getting the cartoon banned in the United States under the fear of young viewers attempting to imitate the actions done in the short, and was almost forbidden on HBO Max.

The Captain and Mr. Tristan are EXTREMELY unlikeable characters, even more so than Tom's owner from the Gene Deitch shorts of Tom and Jerry. The captain has a utter lack of empathy towards the stowaways he hangs, Daffy Duck included, and displays traits of a high-functioning psychopath, while his pet bird, Mr. Tristan (equally lacking empathy) is an annoying, obnoxious and impatient spoiled brat who's voice will get on your very last nerve.

In fact, they are so vile, that they make Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go, look so entertaining. Even Lawyer Goodwill from "The Case of the Stuttering Pig" wasn't so despicable as these two characters.

There's literally a scene of them holding a disturbing cheerful façade with sick smiles in front of an islander, who is completely oblivious to the mess Daffy Duck is in on the ship.

The short introduces complete, but notoriously bland music scoring from William Lava. William Lava's music is highly contradictory to that of Carl Stalling's and Milt Franklyn's, and is (minus the title card music of this short) highly ill-fitting, dissonant, and lacks the rhythm and pace from the previous cartoons that makes the music feel upbeat and vibrant.

Daffy and Mr. Tristan's chemistry with each other is weak and ends up feeling as a mismatch between each other, not unlike Daffy's pairings with Speedy Gonzales.

The cartoon's gags are rather not funny, but harsh and disturbing. They are easily predictable as well, such as Daffy using an inflatable fish out of his hat to satisfy the captain.

There is a very disturbing scene where Mr. Tristan cruelly locks up Daffy in a chest for 10 whole days. Daffy's appearance after the chest is opened after the 10 days is also very grotesque, and sympathy-inducing to look at.

In addition, when Mr. Tristan is called out by Daffy for switching boxes on the poor duck, Mr. Tristan GLOATS about it...

At the end, Daffy attempts to blow up Mr. Tristan via a disappearing act trick, but ends up blowing up the entire ship, causing him to get attached to a noose by the captain.

In real-life, stowaways wouldn't really be hanged for jumping aboard vehicles, just kicked off or arrested by the police. This makes the Captain and Mr. Tristan's actions even more vile, because they could also be hanging  innocent people  or even the  homeless , and all of this is done without remorse.

It is often considered to be the worst Daffy Duck solo short to be directed by Robert McKimson.
