Porky Pig: Now, w-where did I put that screwdriver? I bet I l-left it in the oven.
[Looks inside oven with a lit match]
Porky Pig: Ah, h-here it is.
Daffy Duck: No accidents in the home, eh? You should never use a match to look in the oven.
Porky Pig: Oh, f-f-fiddlesticks.
Daffy Duck: You should use a flashlight, like so.
[Peeks inside oven with flashlight; it explodes]
Daffy Duck: Must have been a short in my battery.

Featured review
"Now, where did I put that screwdriver? I bet I left it in the oven."
Amusing Daffy & Porky short directed by Robert McKimson. Daffy's a pushy door-to-door insurance salesman who fails to sell Porky an insurance policy because Porky says he never has any accidents. So Daffy decides to make Porky have some accidents but his attempts backfire every time. Love the opening credits to this one. The animation here is nice with well-drawn characters and backgrounds. Lovely colors are a plus. Nice music from Carl Stalling. Great voice work from the legendary Mel Blanc. Most of the gags are worth at least a chuckle and a few will give you some solid laughs. The final bit would've been funnier if they hadn't telegraphed it so hard. As far as Daffy & Porky cartoons go, it's not one of their best but far from their worst.
