Daffy starred in 130 shorts in the golden age, making him the third-most frequent character in the ''Looney Tunes''/''Merrie Melodies'' cartoons, behind Bugs Bunny's 167 appearances and Porky Pig's 153 appearances.

Elmer J. Fudd is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Bros. ''Looney Tunes''/''Merrie Melodies'' series and the archenemy of Bugs Bunny. Elmer Fudd's aim is to hunt Bugs, but he usually ends up seriously injuring himself and other antagonizing characters. He exhibits the speech sound disorder known as rhotacism, replacing his Rs and Ls with Ws thus referring to Bugs Bunny as a "scwewy" (screwy) or "wascawwy (rascally) wabbit." Elmer's signature catchphrase is, "Shhh. Be vewy vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits", as well as his trademark laugh. The best known Elmer Fudd cartoons include Chuck Jones' work ''What's Opera, Doc?'', the Gioachino Rossini, Rossini parody ''Rabbit of Seville'', and the "Hunting Trilogy" of "Rabbit Season/Duck Season" shorts (''Rabbit Fire'', ''Rabbit Seasoning'', and ''Duck! Rabbit, Duck!'') with Fudd, Bugs Bunny, and Daffy Duck. An earlier prototype of character named Elmer had some of Fudd's recognizable aspects before the character's more conspic ...
