Duck Amuck

Widely regarded as one of the best cartoon shorts of all-time, 1953's "Duck Amuck" features an increasingly agitated Daffy Duck (Mel Blanc) constantly breaking the fourth wall and speaking directly to the unseen artist who forgets to draw the scenery (leaving the Duck against a blank background), or, when drawing something, varying it (or Daffy himself) in wildly inconsistent ways making it impossible for Daffy to tell a story.

And, to the delight of the audience, things only get worse for the duck as our unseen animator (revealed in the closing scene) begins sadistically screwing with the poor Daffy even more. Featuring only the voice of Mel Blanc, "Duck Amuck" has added to the National Film Registry, and, in 1994, was voted #2 of The 50 Greatest Cartoons: As Selected by 1,000 Animation Professionals (losing out to that rascally rabbit one last time). Poor Daffy.
