Daffy used to be funny and yet his personality just works in one kind of comedy
Donals is the best part of everything he ever appeared, even shitty spin-offs and shows for toddlers, and is more versatile
Sebastian Reed
Old school Daffy tanks everything Donald throws at him and makes Donald go insane by the end.
New school Daffy becomes a punching bag and gets himself hurt more.
Evan Cruz
In cartoons Daffy > Donald
In comics Donald >>> Daffy
Daniel Nelson
A challenger appears
Wyatt Taylor
LT>Disney, but Donald>Daffy
Leo Murphy

Xavier Allen
They're both retarded in thier own ways
Nathan Reyes
Very much agree. At least in Golden-Era Looney Tunes, Daffy is funnier than anything Donald ever appeared in. Donald (and Disney) was always too tame to go overboard into the really memorable visual humor that Looney Tunes perfected.
Donald as an adventure-strip/cartoon character though is tremendously entertaining.

>Donals is the best part of everything he ever appeared, even shitty spin-offs and shows for toddlers, and is more versatile
Agreed
Jace Murphy
Don't make me choose.
Ryan Hall
So basically Daffy is a specialist in one genre, while Donald is a jack of all trades kind of character?
Blake Howard
Daffy is a master on its field, but Donald is just too good in a great variety of situations.
Nolan Hall
Daffy wins thanks to Duck Dodgers.
Logan Lewis
I dunno, cartoon Donald is great too. Then again I've not seen much cartoons of Daffy alone.
Aaron Reyes
I recently watched Who Framed Rogers Rabbit and their piano dueling scene was awesome.
Colton Ward
This is the only answer
Ryan Cooper
Ducktales >>>>>> Duck Rodgers

Ive never seen a Donald Duck cartoon in my entire life while Looney Tunes is easy as shit to find.
Robert Moore
If you are incapable of finding Donald Duck Cartoons on youtube you might actually be retarded.

Jace Rogers
Okay fair point. How about “in everything he ever appears in that doesn’t Star Scrooge”?
Oliver Roberts
To be honest, never thought Donald (and by extension, his family) was funny in anything ever.
Lincoln Fisher
Donald wins because he's fought both Hitler and Sephiroth.
Ethan Robinson
>Daffy with maximun Looney-ness
>Donald with maximum rage
Dex vs Str
Lincoln Thomas
>he fought Sephiroth
This is a lie, Sora fights Sephiroth alone both times in KH. Useless duck would just die the moment Sephiroth swings it anyway.
Jordan Reed
Did Looney Tunes or Daffy even have any type of notable comic?
Anthony Allen
Emotional support
Easton Russell

I would say the two characters are incomparable.
No, it doesn't. Looney Toons has always been very different from Disney cartoon shorts - in style of humor, in characters, in scenarios, and in animation style. Both have their classics, and while the two companies did compete during the same time periods for the same audiences, the two were not equivalents.
For example, here's an early Daffy Duck cartoon:
dailymotion.com
Notice how Daffy Duck's personality is almost like that of a entertainer, while Egghead (early Elmer Fudd) acts like the everyman. While both acknowledge the audience, Egghead does so while keeping in character ("Sit down, there's a duck in here!" as if the fictional interruption disturbs the fictional hunt), but Daffy Duck breaks character to wink at the audience. ("Hold your seats, folks! Here we go again!") Daffy Duck is crazy in the context of the world he inhabits, but if this was to be taken as a vaudeville stage play, he'd just be a scenery chewer that enjoys being the clown for applause. Egghead is like the audience, and a satire of the average joe, and Daffy Duck is the gadfly that exposes the average man's oafishness.
Disney handles it differently:
youtube.com
Disney prefers main characters that represent the audience, not the gadfly. Donald is the everyman, and his rage is the everyman's rage. Most people think of themselves as calm until provoked, and Donald Duck represents that. His existence is not one of satire but simply everyday frustrations exaggerated and vented vicariously. We've all been Donald Duck at one point. That's why he's relateable.
We want to be early Daffy or Bugs Bunny - the gadfly - but we pretty much are Donald or Egghead/Fudd.
Late Daffy is more antagonistic, but he's simply matured with the times and adapted to being Bugs Bunny's straight man.
youtube.com
TL;DR - Daffy vs Donald is apples vs oranges.

>No, it doesn't.
Ignore this. I had to remove an >implying portion for the character limit.
