Mild-mannered newspaper reporter Cluck Trent overhears a television program and mistakenly believes the villain on the show is real. So he changes into his super-powered alter-ego Stupor Duck and flies off in search of the fictional villain. He finds himself in one mess after another in his attempts to foil what he thinks are the villain's plans but are really something else entirely, like a building being demolished and a rocket being sent to the moon by the government.Hilarious Daffy Duck parody of Superman. Being a lifelong fan of Supes, I naturally adored this short. It's a hoot with Daffy making an idiot of himself repeatedly as only he could. The animation is wonderful with nice colors and good action. The voicework from Mel Blanc and Daws Butler is great. A funny short that Daffy and Superman fans will want to check out.

I love Looney Tunes and I love Daffy Duck, always have. And I really liked Stupor Duck. I agree it is corny, some of the names and one or two of the puns may either make you laugh, cringe or both as it did with me. The story is simple but well told and goes at a good pace.The animation is also very nice and colourful with lovely backgrounds and colours and all the characters are drawn nicely, and the music is full of energy and bombast. The writing while corny(in an entertaining way) is witty and clever, and I loved the gags, there are a number of them and they all work, and Daffy's facial expressions.Daffy is the star of the show, and as always he is vastly entertaining. Mel Blanc's vocals are sublime as well. Overall, great fun. 9/10 Bethany Cox

This takeoff on the 1950s television show, "The Adventures Of Superman," has its share of corny laughs, especially if you are familiar with that famous show, its introduction each week and its characters.Daffy Duck is "Stuporduck," disguised as mild-mannered reporter "Cluck Trent," etc. You almost wince when these things are said! The writer of this cartoon, Tedd Pierce, and the director, Robert McKimson, plug themselves in the story. That, and some other little things - subtle jokes such as Stuporduck adjusting his shoulder pads to look more manly - made this a fun cartoon to watch. The main jokes are "fair;" it's the little stuff that was appreciated, at least by me.This good-vs.-evil story pits Stuporduck against "Aarvard Ratnick," the evil Russian (our enemy is this Cold War era). Everything Daffy does, of course, is a disaster. The ending is almost guaranteed to give you a laugh.

I saw "Stupor Duck" in the compilation "Daffy Duck's Movie: Fantastic Island". When Daffy Duck and Speedy Gonzales - stranded on an uncharted island - find a wishing well, Daffy wishes to be Super Duck so that he can fly off the island. The only problem is, he gets turned into Stupor Duck, who bungles every mission...mainly due to the fact that his enemy doesn't even exist (he heard "Ratnik" on a TV show that the man in the next room was watching). So, he spends the cartoon getting himself into various and sundry embarrassing situations, all of which result in him getting maimed somehow. Anyway, this might not be the best cartoon that the crowd behind the Looney Tunes cartoons ever created, but it's great to watch just to see what happens to Daffy. Will he ever triumph?! I agree: they need to find better places to put buildings.
