Daffy Duck Slept Here
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daffy Duck Slept Here is a 1948 Warner Bros. cartoon in the Merrie Melodies series, directed by Robert McKimson, starring Porky Pig and Daffy Duck. All voices are by Mel Blanc. The title is a play on the old cliché, "George Washington slept here."
[edit] Plot synopsis
Porky is looking all over the big city for a hotel room, but due to a convention there are no vacancies. He finally secures a room that he will have to share with "another gentleman". His roommate, Daffy, comes in loudly, apparently drunk, and claims to have brought along a friend, a six-foot, invisible kangaroo named "Hymie", a parody of Harvey. Daffy proceeds to sing a high-energy version of "I'm Just Wild About Hymie" (instead of "Harry"), with no apparent qualms that one of the lines is about "the heavenly blisses / of his kisses". Daffy spends the rest of the night annoying Porky: pestering him with questions, hogging the blanket, spilling water from a glass (as Porky momentarily thinks the duck has wet the bed). The exasperated Porky stuffs Daffy into a pillow case, stuttering through various insults (the duck takes particular offense to being called "unsanitary") and drops him out the window, some 30 stories, with a loud crash. Porky then goes back to bed. Daffy returns bandaged, but shakes them off and prepares to take vengeance.
Daffy imitates an alarm clock, then tricks the half-asleep pig into stepping out of a window (still in his nightshirt, plus coat and hat), thinking he's boarding a train, after Daffy (in conductor's cap) repeats the famous Mel Blanc joke announcement from the Jack Benny radio and TV shows, "Train leaving on Track 5 for Anaheim, Azusa and Cuc--amonga!" Daffy pulls the shade, saying it's "too gruesome" to watch. Suddenly he hears train noises, opens the shade, and is stunned to see the still-drowzy Porky somehow pulling away on a train and waving at Daffy, to the tune of California, Here I Come. Daffy turns and tells the audience, "Hey, that's silly! ... I should have bought him some magazines for the trip!" Then he bounces all around the room, "Hoo-Hoo!"-ing wildly as the cartoon irises out.
