History WesternAnimation / YakkyDoodle

* HeelFaceTurn: The episode "Foxy Proxy" sees Fibber morph from an enemy trying to eat Yakky to being his protector. The turning point occurs when he finally captures the duck, puts him in a pot, and sticks him in the oven. When he hears Yakky banging on the pot lid and crying out for his mama, Fibber emotionally relents saying, "Oh, I can't do it! I-I can't!" He even saves Yakky from another fox in the episode!
* HollywoodToneDeaf: Yakky often tries to sing and in one episode, his lack of ability to do so was a plot point. He seems to have a particular predilection for the old Vaudeville song "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay."

* EnemyMine: In their only appearance together, Fibber and Alfy end up teaming up.

* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Fibber Fox does not handle the VoicesAreMental episode very well.

* VoicesAreMental: In this case a mad scientist switches Yakky and Chopper. The voices go with them.

Yakky is a small duck who doesn't have a Momma and often gets himself into adventures -- a lot of which involve someone trying to eat him (usually Fibber Fox or Alfy Gator). His best friend is a dog named Chopper.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Alfy Gator is one for Creator/AlfredHitchcock. He even explains his traps as Hitchcock would introduce an episode of his show. In addition, the voice of Fibber Fox is close to that of Creator/ShelleyBerman, while Chopper's is modeled on Creator/WallaceBeery. Not to mention that Yakky sounds quite a bit like WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck.

* RoguesGallery: Fibber Fox, Alfy Gator, and a cat who talks just like Fibber.

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Chopper just wears a neck tie. Alfy wears only a bowtie.

* CivilizedAnimal: Chopper, Alfy, and Fibber count as examples. They fulfill their species roles (the last two as predators), live outside (or in Chopper's case in a doghouse), and tend to behave like animals. However, the first two are AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimals while Fibber is a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal, and they do talk.

* {{Outlaw}}[=/=]TheRustler: In the short "Baddie Buddies", Yakky encounters a rough and tough wild west outlaw and cattle rustler, who despite claiming to be merciless has too much of a soft heart to shoot an innocent duck, so he lets Yakky wander on unharrassed. Yakky, thinking that he's cool, repeatedly tries to befriend the man, to the outlaw's annoyance since Yakky is distracting him from his criminal acts and putting him at risk. After Yakky finally gets him imprisoned, the two do wind up spending time together in jail.

It's honestly a wonder no one used this as a parody yet, having them meet.
