History WesternAnimation / DaffysDiner

* DrivenToMadness: In the middle of the cartoon, Daffy winds up in a trashcan thanks to Speedy [[JumpScare sneaking up behind Daffy and startling him]]. A garbageman comes to pick up the trash, only for Daffy to demand (from inside the trashcan) to be set back down. The garbageman psychotically believes that he has just witnessed "talking garbage" and drives home to Guadalajara "where the garbage, it don't talk."

Daffy owns a food stand in the middle of Mexico that serves nothing but "mouseburgers"[[note]]hamburgers made with mice instead of beef[[/note]]. Because he's running a small business on a tight budget[[note]]in a clearly poor region of Mexico to boot[[/note]], he uses fake rubber mice with a ton of flavoring added[[note]]namely chili peppers, hot sauce, axle grease and ''DDT''[[/note]]. However, when a nasty bandito cat named El Supremo catches on to the ruse, he demands a real live mouse from Daffy. As Daffy ponders the tough spot he's in, such a mouse (Speedy, of course) miraculously comes to his kitchen's backdoor. Thus, starts the chase.

* StockSoundEffects: This was one of the first Warner Bros. cartoons to use sound effects from the Creator/HannaBarbera library.

* RestaurantOwningEpisode: Daffy owns a diner in this cartoon. It's the only time we ever see him in such a role[[note]]although he does play Porky's chef in the 1940 cartoon "Porky's Last Stand"[[/note]]

* [[ArtisticLicense Artistic License: Restaurant Management]]: In RealLife, Daffy would be fined and possibly have his business shut down for not mentioning on his menu that he uses substitute ingredients in his burgers. Likewise, he'd also come under fire from both law enforcement and health/sanitation departments for serving his customers inedible "food" (rubber mice).

* KarmaHoudini: The violent and nasty El Supremo gets no come-uppance whatsoever. But given that Daffy was using FakeFood, this might be a justified example.

* EndOfAnAge: This was not only the last Looney Tunes entry made by De Patie Freleng Enterprises, but also Robert Mckimson's final entry using any of the classic Looney Tunes cast (though he would take part in a few revival projects afterwards). Rudy Larriva and Alex Lovy would direct the remaining Daffy and Speedy pair-ups.
