Oh yeah? Well, you're another!
Which Looney Tunes character are you?
I admit that I enjoy online quizzes. This one hit the nail on the head.
Of course, the problem with Daffy is that different directors have given him drastically different personalities. This quiz is obviously referring to the "wise-guy" Daffy made famous by Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng; the bitter, jealous Daffy who got tortured by a poison-penned animator in "Duck Amuck", and who got constantly upstaged by Bugs Bunny in "Show Biz Bugs". Yet before these films, in Bob Clampett's hands he was the hyperactive "screwball" Daffy, bouncing around and hooting insanely at the end of each cartoon, hallucinating himself as Dick Tracy in "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery," or operating an infant factory in "Baby Bottleneck." That's the Daffy I love. I mean, I love all of the Bugs-vs.-Daffy films of Jones, but somehow I never find myself rooting for Bugs.

Daffy Duck! You scored 0 Aggression, 28 Sophistication, and 42 Optimism! |
Generally non-aggressive (or perhaps passive-aggressive), vulgar, and pessimistic, you can at times be both highly entertaining and very annoying. While occasionally you might be prone to sudden bursts of chaotic energy, you rarely accomplish much as a result and are often easily discouraged. You have a sophisticated side, but for the most part it is buried under layer upon layer of abrasiveness and vulgarity. The problem is you are probably a very intelligent person and as a result you deserve more than what your situation seems to allow. Jealously and arrogance are the twin albatross you wear around your neck. Try not to let others' success reflect negatively on your self-image, and reject the temptation to elevate yourself by bringing others down. Instead focus on what you would like to do with your life and you may just find hidden talents that you never before realized you had. |
