  1. Daffy Duck first appeared in 1937 and is one of the funniest Looney Tunes characters, alongside Bugs Bunny. He’s a bit of a drama king, is pretty paranoid, and is in constant competition with Bugs Bunny, who lives rent-free inside his brain. He isn’t levelheaded or moderate, which is always funny, says Jamin.[2] And that leads to some pretty hilarious slapstick comedy!
