Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

. . . to realize that the always prophetic Looney Tuners were cramming in loads of their mainstay Warner Bros.' warnings into THE DAFFY DOC about U.S. Presidents--THEN (1938) and NOW (2016). Warner's Animated Shorts Seers realized that Americans NEVER would KNOWINGLY stand for Commanders-in-Chief whom "paid their water bills" sitting down! That's why DAFFY DOC is packed full of wacky Iron Lung scenes, in an effort to BLOW THEIR WHISTLE against President Frank "The Wheezing Wheeler's" declining health, resulting from a bout with Iron Lung Disease (aka, polio) which left him incapable of pacing his Oval Office (but which was totally COVERED UP by a Corrupt Media). Speaking of Number One Sitters, DAFFY DOC tells you all you need to know about the coming of Crooked Hillary/Obamacare in less than seven minutes. Daffy Duck shows "Patient" Porky Pig that that promise about "keeping your own doctor" is a TOTAL LIE! Daffy actually bludgeons a perfectly healthy Porky to get the pig into a hospital bed, appointing HIMSELF as Porky's new doctor! (Warner is asking WHY any porky young American in the pink of health SHOULD BE FORCED TO PAY for medical services they do not need.) These Looney Tuners then foreshadow this week's outrageous 200% increase in Hillarycare's Premiums by having Daffy trying to take a literal arm and left off Porky in payment for unneeded and shoddy medical services! Please see THE DAFFY DOC immediately, and vote next week for someone who "drains the gecko" STANDING UP!

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.

Daffy Duck is one of my favourite cartoon characters, so coming across The Daffy Doc on Youtube by chance I decided that with little else to do that I'd watch it. The story is on the routine and Porky's role is best described as a cameo. But the animation is fine, crisp and clean with good, if later much more refined, character designs. The music is lively and energetic with lovely orchestration. I also liked the humour very much. Some of the signs and dialogue may come across as corny and silly by today's standards, I for one found them most amusing, while the sight gags are a lot of fun with the operation and inflated lung gags absolute classics. Daffy here is terrific with a manic and witty personality that really shines. Porky is pleasant to see but he isn't really given all that much to do. Mel Blanc's voice characterisations are great, even if they'd mature later.Overall, a very enjoyable cartoon. 8/10 Bethany Cox

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.
