Simon’s Cat in ‘Double Trouble’
Daffy Duck is a Lazy Metal Wizard
(You’re not dreaming, this is an actual segment from the new Loony Toons series)
The idea of a new Loony Toons series was one of utter bullshit to me…until they went and did something as awesome as this. Simply titled Daffy Duck: The Wizard, this clip will bring out any headbanger’s inner child between four minutes of metal music.
Mixing everyday technologies with Daffy’s hugely inflated ego, Warner Bros. made the single greatest Loony Toons clip of the year. It’ll make you want to throw on a denim vest and throw up a pair of Dio sized devil horns.
Rock on Daffy.
