utgard14 Mild-mannered newspaper reporter Cluck Trent overhears a television program and mistakenly believes the villain on the show is real. So he changes into his super-powered alter-ego Stupor Duck and flies off in search of the fictional villain. He finds himself in one mess after another in his attempts to foil what he thinks are the villain's plans but are really something else entirely, like a building being demolished and a rocket being sent to the moon by the government.Hilarious Daffy Duck parody of Superman. Being a lifelong fan of Supes, I naturally adored this short. It's a hoot with Daffy making an idiot of himself repeatedly as only he could. The animation is wonderful with nice colors and good action. The voicework from Mel Blanc and Daws Butler is great. A funny short that Daffy and Superman fans will want to check out.

slymusic Directed beautifully by Robert McKimson, "Stupor Duck" is a fine Daffy Duck cartoon that casts him in the familiar blue suit & red cape, disguised as mild-mannered newspaper reporter Cluck Trent. This short is full of wonderful moments of confidence in Stupor Duck's face as he addresses the audience, which I always love to see cartoon characters do. But, as we've come to learn from the screen character of Daffy Duck, he is completely wrong for the job of a superhero.My favorite moments from "Stupor Duck" include: Daffy crashing through a window (reminiscent of the Three Stooges) and slamming into a building; Daffy leaping over a tall building and getting his cape caught on a flagpole; Daffy mistakenly donning a witch's outfit from the broom closet; and the trapdoor on Daffy's costume opening as he prepares to save a collapsing building.Enjoy "Stupor Duck" on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5 Disc 1. Be sure to laugh out loud at Daffy Duck's incompetence!

ccthemovieman-1 This takeoff on the 1950s television show, "The Adventures Of Superman," has its share of corny laughs, especially if you are familiar with that famous show, its introduction each week and its characters.Daffy Duck is "Stuporduck," disguised as mild-mannered reporter "Cluck Trent," etc. You almost wince when these things are said! The writer of this cartoon, Tedd Pierce, and the director, Robert McKimson, plug themselves in the story. That, and some other little things - subtle jokes such as Stuporduck adjusting his shoulder pads to look more manly - made this a fun cartoon to watch. The main jokes are "fair;" it's the little stuff that was appreciated, at least by me.This good-vs.-evil story pits Stuporduck against "Aarvard Ratnick," the evil Russian (our enemy is this Cold War era). Everything Daffy does, of course, is a disaster. The ending is almost guaranteed to give you a laugh.

jfyoung-1 Daffy Duck had many great cartoons, but some of the best ones were ones in which he played ridiculous parts like in "Robin Hood Daffy" or "Drip-Along Daffy", etc. However, almost all of those cartoons were directed by the late great Chuck Jones. This one, "Stupor Duck", was an exception as Bob McKimson directed it. Yet, it follows the same pattern as Daffy, despite his great power, is hopelessly overmatched as a super hero, especially against a non-existent villain that he overhears on a TV set. The animation on this cartoon is great for 1956 compared to other late WB cartoons. All in all, a Daffy cartoon that is must-see if you are a fan of the little black duck.
