Ding Dog Daddy is a 1942 color Merrie Melodies cartoon, directed by Friz Freleng and written by Tedd Pierce.

Plot

A dim-witted dog (voiced by Pinto Colvig), whom after having no luck with romancing other female dogs, falls in love with a metal statue of a female dog in a garden, failing to realize that "Daisy" is indeed a sculpture. Whenever the dog kisses Daisy, lightning strikes and sends a shock through his system, which he takes as a sign of her passionate love for him. The hero constantly has to contend with a vicious bulldog who is guarding the gate to the garden. After Daisy is carted away in a truck marked "Scrap Metal for Victory" to contribute to the American effort in World War II, the hero runs frantically to the munitions depot, calling Daisy's name, only to find a bomb labelled "Daisy". As he cries, "Oh, what have they done to you? They've changed you!", the bomb explodes in his face, leading him to cry out happily, "WWWWWOOOOWWWWW! Huh Huh! She hasn't changed a bit!"

Goofs

  • The American Turner "dubbed version" replaces the 1941 MM end music with a 1939-1941 ending cue, although the European Turner "dubbed version" retains the original ending cue.
  • When the female dog bluntly rejects the goofy dog "Nah, I wouldn't like to be your girl-!", there appears to be an abrupt cut-off in her dialogue, where after she her line ends with "girl", her mouth moves without her saying anything before completely finishes her line of dialogue.
