The Ducksters (1950) ****


Daffy Duck is a sadistic emcee on a radio game show, subjecting contestant Porky to countless humiliating penalties (boulders, waterfalls, buzzsaws) for failing to identify the name of Cleopatra's aunt or a "passage" (one single note !) from "Rigoletto". But Porky gets his revenge by winning 26 millions (and 3 cents), buying the radio station, becoming Daffy's boss and subjecting him to the same humiliating treatments. A hilarious cartoon with a very dark sense of humor.
