Daffy Duck (1965-1968)

Daffy Duck is one of the major characters of the classic Looney Tunes cartoons, and the second major Looney Tunes character to be introduced, after Porky Pig.

While Daffy used to be likable in the original Looney Tunes shorts, he unfornately in 1965 has been horribly flanderized from a greedy and jealous antihero into a straight-up evil villain with little to no redeeming qualities at all. Granted, He after July 1948 may have been a greedy, selfish, spotlight-stealing jerk, but at least he was nowhere near as much of a monster as he is here.

He will try anything in order to get what he wants, and doesn't care about anyone else. Even though this trait was previously seen in a few cartoons like "The Iceman Ducketh", it is used at this point and is most notable starting with "Moby Duck". Almost all the Daffy & Speedy shorts such as "Well Worn Daffy" and "Assault and Peppered", as well as "Tease for Two" (his only pairing with the Goofy Gophers) are the worst offenders for using this scenario as an example. In fact, it's just not funny at all..

In fact, his pairings with Speedy Gonzales and the Goofy Gophers as enemies appear to be a horrible mismatch due to having very poor chemistry with them, and his enemy rivalry with Speedy and the Gophers feels very forced, especially when you realize that he was once a more sympathetic character in the original Looney Tunes cartoons back in 1937.

Bad Stuff He did

 * In "The Iceman Ducketh", He tried to capture Bugs Bunny so he can trade animal furs for cash.
 * In "Moby Duck", he refused to share any of the food with Speedy Gonzales.
 * In "Assault and Peppered", he whipped poor Mexican mice for starving on his property, to the point that one of the Mexican mice he whipped had his sombrero break into two because of how hard the beating action he did to those mice.
 * In "Well Worn Daffy", he outright refused to share the water from the a desperately needed well with Speedy and his mice buddies without even caring whether they'd die of thirst for no other reason than pure maliciousness. Furthermore, when he draws all the water he wants, Daffy then attempts to destroy the well in spite of the vicious pointlessness of the act, just to make the Mexican mice suffer.
 * In "Go Go Amigo", he threatens a local radio station at gunpoint so that Speedy and his friends couldn't listen to music at his own electronics store.
 * In "Swing Ding Amigo", he tried to ruin Speedy's A-Go-Go Club which interrupted his sleep.
