====Pairing of Daffy and Porky in parodies of popular movies, 1951β1965==== While [[Bugs Bunny]] became [[Warner Bros.]]' most popular character, the directors still found ample use for Daffy. Several cartoons place him in parodies of popular movies and radio serials; Porky Pig was usually a [[comic relief]] sidekick. For example, Daffy in ''[[The Great Piggy Bank Robbery]]'' (1946) as "Duck Twacy" ([[Dick Tracy]]) by Bob Clampett; in ''[[The Scarlet Pumpernickel]]'' (1950), Daffy was the hero and Porky Pig was the villain. In ''[[Drip-Along Daffy]]'' (1951), named after the [[Hopalong Cassidy]] character, throws Daffy into a [[Western film|Western]] with him labeled "Western-Type Hero" and Porky Pig labeled "Comedy Relief". In ''[[Duck Dodgers in the 24Β½th Century]]'' (1953), a parody of ''[[Buck Rogers]]'', Daffy trades barbs (and bullets) with [[Marvin the Martian]], with Porky Pig retaining the role of Daffy's sidekick. In ''[[Rocket Squad]]'' (1956), a parody of ''[[Dragnet (franchise)|Dragnet]]'' and ''[[Racket Squad]]'', Daffy and Porky Pig pair up once again. Daffy also played ''[[Stupor Duck]]'', a parody of the ''[[Adventures of Superman (TV series)|Adventures of Superman]]'' television series. ''[[Robin Hood Daffy]]'' (1958) casts the duck in the role of the legendary outlaw [[Robin Hood]] with Porky Pig as [[Friar Tuck]]. [[China Jones]] (1959) named after [[China Smith]], has Daffy in [[Hong Kong]] playing the role of a private investigator.
