BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

tavm This was yet another Bob Clampett-directed cartoon he made for Warner Bros. (or more accurately, independent producer Leon Schlesinger since he hadn't sold his studio to the distributor yet) which featured both Porky Pig and Daffy Duck. Actually, despite featured billing, Porky has way less screen time than the mallard who basically replaces him as the Looney Tunes star though initially, they team up quite a bit during this time. Anyway, Daffy is a doctor's assistant who just is not suitable for the job (neither is his boss when we find out what he's fixing) so he searches for his own patient. Guess who's the unlucky guy? In summary, The Daffy Doc has plenty of visual laughs if you're so in the mood. This was on the Marx Brothers' disc that has Room Service (the A side this cartoon is on) and At the Circus.

ccthemovieman-1 One thing I personally enjoy about these 1930s cartoons are the corny signs that always are posted everywhere. For instance, in the first scene here, we arrive at the "Stitch In Time" hospital, where the sign adds, "As We Sew, So Shall Ye Rip." Yeah, they make you wince with their puns, play-on-words and just plain corniness, but I enjoy them. You'll see this kind of written, dated humor all over in this cartoon, from the Operating Room to Daffy Duck's driver's license plate.This black-and-white early Looney Tunes cartoon features both Daffy and Porky Pig in the same story. Porky doesn't enter the cartoon until the final two minutes. Daffy, who had booted out of the operating room, goes to find a patient of his own. Poor Porky.Overall, a decent cartoon full of slapstick, silliness and cornball material: in other words, perfect for early Daffy Duck. I enjoyed this but I like young kids would like this a lot more.

krorie This is one of the first Warner Brothers cartoons featuring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig together. Daffy is as daffy as always, but porky was really a porker in those days. Apparently director Robert Clampett and Warner decided to put Porky on a diet. In "The Daffy Doc," Porky barely fits in the circle when he exclaims, "Th-th-th-that's all, folks!" "The Daffy Doc" makes it obvious that the zany surrealistic, anarchistic humor of the brilliant Marx Brothers was the inspiration for the Daffy Duck, Porky Pig cartoons, in particular, the slapstick of Harpo. Compare this cartoon with the hilarious operating scene in "A Day At The Races," released two years earlier. The doc is comparable to Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush, while Daffy and Porky fit the characters of Tony and Stuffy.By the time "The Daffy Doc" appeared on the big screen, Daffy had stolen much of Porky's popularity, hence Daffy and not Porky is actually the star of the film with Porky having only a small part near the end. It was Daffy that first introduced the Warner Brothers cartoon theme, "The Merry-go-round Broke Down," a popular song of the day with new lyrics. But, alas, fame is fleeting. The fabulous hare, Bugs Bunny, showed up the same year "The Daffy Doc" was issued.The Warner Brothers cartoon characters are by today's standards politically incorrect, since each one had some sort of speech impediment, such as Porky Pig's stuttering. This highlights the need to keep an open mind in a free society. Think of what the entertainment world would have lost had these animated creations been censored."The Daffy Doc" is filled with sight gags galore. I won't give any of them away but be sure and notice Daffy's qualifications for being a physician in order to operate on Porky, his sheepskin and his license.

wetreefertime this one is funny. i saw it last night when i came home all wasted. its one with the old daffy, those ones are the best i think cuz he is always bein silly. one of the funniest things is right after daffy gets booted for freakin out, and he gets out of the lung, he gets all mad and says "He cant do this to me, i got a sheepskin!". another thing is when they show dr. quack stitching up his "patient" and he says something about daffy being crazy and how he doesn't understand the importance of the procedure. then he pulls the cover off the patient and its a football and he starts playin football. ya gotta see it. and a little reefer wont hurt. peace.
