This is a particularly good Daffy and Elmer cartoon. There will be spoilers ahead:
This is a very funny short with a simple but effective premise. It sets up a basic situation where there is potential conflict and then introduces an irritant to exploit that potential for conflict in order to get laughs.
Much to Elmer's sorrow, there's one constant running gag, a punch line of sorts, all through this short and Daffy is the trigger with Elmer the unfortunate "beneficiary" of Daffy's misplaced enthusiasms. If I were the tired businessman, duck would be on the menu. But Daffy is like a kid brother. No matter what he does here, he always seems to get away with it, while you get grounded for a month because of what he did. Life isn't fair.
Would someone please send an ice bag, some aspirin and bandages to the front desk? This short is relatively easy to find, is on one of the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection sets (Blu-Ray/DVD) and is well worth watching. Most recommended.
