My wife = best wife ever
May. 7th, 2009 09:37 pmMy wonderful wifey borrowed a whole bunch of classic Looney Tunes on DVD from her library for me :3 We watched (of course) all of the Daffy episodes, skipping to the Chuck Jones ones (again, of course), and OMG LOVE XD They didn't have the Robin Hood one, though, which sucks because the only version ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caitirin has seen of that one was on YouTube and the sound was off, which totally ruins it because all the humor is music and sound-effect based. But still! Duck Dodgers and the 24 1/2 Century! The Scarlet Pumpernickel! Drip-Along Daffy (It's lucky for him this IS a one-horse town!) XD And, of course, Deduce, You Say, which sent me into rhapsodies. Because clearly either Chuck Jones or Mike Maltese is a Doyle fanboy.
caitirin: Like Elaby.
elaby: n_n
Evidence of this (Chuck Jones and Mike Maltese being one, not me, because that's obvious to anyone... fangirl, of course):
- Porky!Watson's opening is classic. "I recall in my notes of the cases with which I assisted the remarkable Doorlock Holmes that it was the year blah blah blah..."
- There's a whole narration of Daffy!Holmes's eyes, and how they take on the sharpness associated with his singular gifts when viewing evidence, etc. etc. I don't recall any of the popular media Watsons expounding about Holmes's eyes very often, so this is clearly a canon in-joke.
- Porky as Watson also makes it clear they're basing this on canon and not on, say, Nigel Bruce, because Watson's the capable one here. And there's also a snide reference to the dumbification of Watson.
Daffy *to Porky while he's getting the villain to politely confess*: "Quit your bumbling!"
Porky: *sideways glance a la Chuck Jones* Holmes can't abide bumbling.
- Daffy to the Shropshire Slasher: "I'm brown as a nut and fit as a lath!"
Stamford to Watson in STUD: "You are as thin as a lath and as brown as a nut."
Tell me that's anything other than a direct (even obscure-ish) canon reference. Those boys knew their ACD XD *delight*
