- This article is about the character. For other uses, see Daffy Duck (disambiguation).
Daffy Duck is an anthropomorphic duck and is one of the main cast of the Looney Tunes theatrical shorts. His voice was originated by Mel Blanc.
When Daffy first debuted in 1937, he was a unique cartoon character at the time, as there had been no one who sported a zany personality like Daffy. Over the years, the character went through several personality changes, ranging from (but not limited to) a wild screwball duck, to a greedy and fame-seeking duck who usually gets the short end of the stick.
Daffy's protégé in Tiny Toon Adventures is Plucky Duck.
In The Looney Tunes Show, he is Bugs Bunny's roommate and best friend.

Behind the scenes
- The origin of Daffy's voice, specifically his lateral lisp, is a matter of some debate. One oft-repeated story was that it was modeled on producer Leon Schlesinger's tendency to lisp. In Mel Blanc's autobiography That's Not All Folks!, he contradicts that conventional belief, writing, "It seemed to me that such an extended mandible would hinder his speech, particularly on words containing an s sound. Thus 'despicable' became 'desth-picable.'"[1]
- In Baby Looney Tunes, Daffy is credited as "Baby Daffy."
- Since Teen Titans Go! To the Movies in 2018, the Warner Bros. Animation logo has Daffy coming out of the logo, going crazy, messing with the logo and running around while laughing before hitting the screen and being pulled away by Porky.
- For Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge instead of Porky pulling him away, it's Scorpion. The original idea was to have Daffy be stabbed in the head by Scorpion's Kunai, which was shot down by Warner Bros.
In popular culture
- Daffy famously appeared alongside Donald Duck in the 1988 Disney film Who Framed Roger Rabbit? where he is seen challenging Donald to piano duel at the bar.
- In the 1989 film UHF, starring Weird Al Yankovic, there is a poster of Bugs and Daffy in his character's apartment.
- In the July 7th, 1994 episode of Top of the Pops, a teenage girl wears a Daffy t-shirt while dancing to Aswad's "Shine."
- In the Family Guy episode "The Story on Page One", After Meg is blown up by a bomb, she suddenly has a beak, which is turned upside down just like Daffy's in "Rabbit Fire".

- Main article: Robot Chicken
- "Rodiggiti:" During "8 Carrot", Daffy is the host of Bugs and Elmer's Rap Battle.
- "Immortal:" In the skit "Porky's", Bugs and Daffy mistake a strip club called Porky's for a place that Porky Pig owns, only to be proven wrong. Although they were appalled by what they saw in the strip club, they immediately go back in.
