Looney Tunes - S1950E3

#15 - Boobs in the Woods (Season 1950 - Episode 3)

After establishing Daffy's 'daffy' nature (by having him wander through a countryside singing a nonsense song and doing silly things), he dives into a lake. Later, Porky pulls up and sets up camp, intending to enjoy the countryside. He first tries making a painting, but is stopped when Daffy poses, 'ruining' the scenery. Daffy bicycles out on an invisible bike (a noticeable goof is when he says "So long, Rembrandt", Daffy's mouth doesn't move). Daffy then comes back in and tells Porky that he doesn't want 'his' lake painted, but he doesn't 'own' the mountains in the background. As he walks off, Daffy comes back in again, dressed as 'The old man in the mountains' - trying to get the mountains out of Porky's painting.

Prissy follows the truck to a nearby city, determined to regain her egg. She grabs it from a woman in a house and flees.

These penalties include Porky being crushed by the Rock of Gibraltar, rained upon by Niagara Falls, tied up and blown up with dynamite, severe pounding with a mallet, thrashing by a gorilla, threatened by a buzz saw, crushing by safes, and other forms of abuse. In the end, however, Porky wins 26 million dollars and 3 cents which he uses to buy the radio show (costing exactly $26,000,000.03!) and then submits Daffy to the same penalties that he had received earlier. Daffy is then tied to a special sawing machine. There's an iris out as Daffy screams, "Have you got a doctor in the balcony, lady?!"
