* HouseSquatting: Speedy's family as lived in the run-down house for generations. Unfortunately, even though he was there first, Daffy wants him out, even refusing to listen when Speedy suggests they share the house.
* HowWeGotHere: The entire cartoon is more or less an explanation for the opening credit scene, and where the title comes in.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Jerkass}}: Somewhat justified on Daffy's end, as he understandably doesn't want mice infesting his already-dilapidated house. Goes way into overdrive, however, when he goes as far as to ''try to blow up the entire house'' just to get rid of Speedy.

* VeryFalseAdvertising: Downplayed. While the realtor admits to Daffy that the hacienda is slightly run down, he grossly understates just ''how'' run down it is. The photo in its advertisement makes it appear to be in fairly decent shape. But, in reality, the house is completely falling apart.

'''The Astroduck''' is a 1966 ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short (6 min.) directed by Creator/RobertMcKimson and starring WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck and WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales.

Daffy has just bought a run-down Mexican hacienda as a retirement home. The house, however, already has an inhabitant -- Speedy, whose family has lived there for generations. Not wanting a bothersome rodent in his house, Daffy tries to get rid of Speedy, eventually resorting to dynamite, with unfortunate results.
