To me the early Daffy Duck is kind of like director David Zucker (Airplane!, Naked Gun series, Scary Movie 3) in a way that all the gags are coming at you at a rapid pace, and either they all connect and are hilarious, or it all just falls short. In my opinion, the jokes and gags in Yankee Doodle Daffy fall short. Daffy goes from one old song to the next trying to sell the talents of Sleepy LaGoon, a young protégé, to talent scout, Porky Pig. There were very few funny moments in the cartoon, such as when we're introduced to Sleepy and the classic signs Sleepy used to describe Daffy (Screw + Baseball = Screwball). Other than that, Daffy is just annoying in this cartoon. I was glad when it was over. Daffy's done much better.
