Canasta card game tonta doll series#

But when Daffy puts Canasta in irons and tries to take him away, he finds that he can't move Canasta from the spot he is standing. Porky then suggests to Daffy that he should just arrest him, to which Daffy agrees ('well, you may have something there comedy relief'). Canasta then sends Daffy through the table in response to Daffy's challenge to an arm wrestling match, to which Daffy responds, 'I think you're pretty tough, don't I?'. First Daffy is asked if he plays cards, to which the game is ended abruptly when Canasta cuts the deck with a meat cleaver. What follows is the humiliation of Daffy again and again through different gags and challenges. Challenged to play cards, Daffy departs and returns in new cowboy garb (but sans mask), confident of victory. He finally grabs the attention of Canasta after offering a helpful suggestion to his card game ('Say, why don't you play your red jack on the black queen?'). Daffy then vies for the attention of Canasta, leaving the scene and returning first as the whip-wielding (and stereotypically Mexican) 'Frisco Kid', then in a suit reminiscent of Superman's as 'Superguy.' Again failing to grab his attention, Daffy suggests other identities he could take, names parodying heroes of the time ('Captain Hideo? The Green Fathom? Mark of Zero?'), but none interest Canasta. Look, see my mask? It's a very nice mask.'), who still sits peacefully at his table dealing cards. Upon proclaiming himself the Masked Avenger, Daffy fails to grab the attention of Canasta (stating 'Didn't you hear me, I said I was the Masked Avenger. When we first see Nasty Canasta he is sitting peacefully at a table playing cards. Porky, now the town sheriff, comments 'Lucky for him it is a one horse town.'Ĭanasta returns in My Little Duckaroo.

The next day, Daffy is shown wearing a sanitation worker's uniform and pushing a dumpster, and comments about how he has cleaned up the 'one-horse town'. The townspeople come out cheering, and Daffy assumes that they are cheering for him, but Porky is the hero of the hour. Canasta picks up the doll, chuckling, until the doll points its gun at Canasta and fires, sending Canasta to the ground. Daffy and Canasta start walking towards each other, the street deserted, when Porky winds up a small British soldier doll and lets it go towards Canasta.

Eventually, Daffy challenges Canasta to a showdown in the street. A few seconds later, Daffy and Porky exhibit wild side effects, turning green, reciting Mary Had a Little Lamb in childish voice and mannerism, and acting like they're both motorized. Canasta downs the drink with no side effects (other than his hat flipping), and when Daffy gets Porky to take the drink with seemingly no side effects, Daffy downs his as well. Canasta then intimidates Daffy with a drink made of various poisons and toxic materials (so 'hot', when two ice cubes are put in, the ice cubes jump out, yelping). Daffy tries to intimidate Canasta with his gun, but Canasta just bites off most of the gun and swallows it ('Hmm. Smith, then Mel Blanc took the role for his second appearance, with Daws Butler voicing him in Barbary Coast Bunny.ĭaffy Duck is about to take a drink at the bar when Nasty Canasta, playing on the flatness of two-dimensional animation, walks in past his 'Wanted' poster. Like other similar antagonists in Looney Tunes, he is a typical 'dumb muscle' but is relatively more criminal in his personality and much more intimidating, especially in his nearly superhuman physique and threatening use of his revolver pistols. Created by animator Chuck Jones, Canasta is depicted as a tough, hulking, and brutish-looking outlaw (normally with a cowboy theme).
