Wow, yeah, that was the best I've seen of Seinfeld in... well actually that might be the best.

Daffy isn't stupid. He just doesn't give a shit. He, more than any other character, defines his own reality, even if that reality only exists in his head. This clip gives you a glimpse of that, but the rest of the episodes explore that theme even more. He does what he wants and doesn't care much what other people think. This is what makes him awesome, but there's ramifications as well.

It's a fairly mature concept for a 'kids' cartoon (as iTunes categorizes it). That's partly why I think the show is brilliant. This isn't a show that simply recreates the old cartoons, nor does it try to make the Looney Tunes into a more modern kids cartoon. This show is squarely aimed at people who grew up with these cartoons and are now ready to see how those characters act in more mature situations. Yes, to a certain degree, it is basically Seinfeld with Looney Tunes characters. But I'm OK with that. It's a nice blend. And a hell of alot better than Space Jam.

I also don't like the show - but mostly because it just isn't FUNNY. I've watched entire episodes and never so much as chuckled. It just doesn't have any real zip. The rebooted Scooby Doo cartoon has more humor in it. And what they are doing to Bugs Bunny is just a crime. He has gone from being a wise-guy protagonist to being a flavorless straight-man. He isn't funny at all.

But I have to disagree (a little) on Daffy. Daffy was only the 'clever, crazy' character for about a third of his animated shorts - and those were all in the beginning of his career as a character. After a while, he shifted from 'crazy/clever' into a variety of roles. Heck - he was even the 'bad guy' in a lot of the Speedy Gonzalez shorts.

I agree with you. I liked him a lot better when he was absolutely zonkers. Some of my favorite DD shorts are the ones where he is an obnoxious, loony pest and Porky Pig is the frustrated by what he's doing. Those were where Daffy was at his best.

The video is OK. The show really just blows chunks. It takes some of the funniest cartoon characters America ever created, and turns them into an episode of Seinfeld without the humor. Hopefully they figure this out at some point and fix it. I like the Road Runner / Wiley shorts though - they actually are funny and keep the characters true.

Anyone trying to pass ironic judgement while smoking is probably in the wrong field of work.

Ridiculous, it's the absolute correct line of work... it's where the understanding of vice's, hypocritical and mixed with sarcasm = comedy.
What would you prefer? Jerry Seinfeld boring comedy... "Hey, what's up with airline peanuts, those packets are impossible to open?"

I disagree, there are plenty of ways of adding nuance to a performance. Smoking is simply ... killing yourself.

One of my favourite Seinfeld moments.
