Boobs in the Woods is a 1950 Looney Tunes theatrical cartoon directed by Robert McKimson, starring Porky Pig and Daffy Duck.

While on vacation, Porky stops off at a lake to relax and partake of a little painting and fishing. Unfortunately, he finds his serenity disturbed by Daffy, who is just as zany as ever. However, while Daffy drives him nutty with his crazy antics and multiple personas, in the end, it's Porky who gets the last laugh.

Tropes appearing in this cartoon:

  • Bowdlerization: When this cartoon aired on ABC's The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show, the entire scene of Daffy disguising himself as Pocahontas to save Porky from being beheaded was cut. Also cut were the several shots of Daffy getting choked by Porky's car engine.
  • Borrowed Catchphrase: After Porky shows Daffy the permit to treat him as a car engine, Daffy replies, "What a revoltin' development this is!", which was one of Jimmy Durante's catchphrases.
  • Crazy-Prepared: Daffy asks Porky if he has a fishing license. He does. So Daffy asks if he also has a dog license, which Porky also does. Then as a test, Daffy asks if he has a license to sell hair tonic to bald eagles in Omaha, Nebraska. Porky does. And in the end, he also has a license to use Daffy as a motor.
  • Hamster-Wheel Power: After Daffy removes the motor from Porky's car, Porky forces him to pedal the crankshaft. When Daffy complains that he's got no right to do that, Porky shows him a license that proves otherwise.
  • "I Am" Song: The cartoon opens with Daffy singing a song (to the tune of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down", the Looney Tunes theme) about how he's, well... daffy.
    Oh, people call me daffy, they think that I am goony
    Ah, just because I'm happy is no sign I'm looney tuney
    Oh, when they say I'm nutsy, it sure gives me a pain
    Please pass the ketchup, I think it's going to rain
    Oh, you can't bounce a meatball, though try with all your might
    Turn on the radio, I want to fly a kite
    Good evening, friends!
  • It Amused Me: Daffy has no reason to bother Porky while he's just painting a landscape and not bothering anybody. He seems to just do it because it's fun.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: After all the crap Daffy puts him through, Porky eventually gets even in the end.
