XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

TheLittleSongbird Being a massive Daffy Duck fan and someone who likes Elmer very much, their chemistry while not as legendary as the one between Elmer and Bugs Bunny is always entertaining as well, 'A Pest in the House' is a real treat and one of their best and funniest.The animation is beautifully done, Chuck Jones' style being unmistakable. It's very vibrantly and brightly coloured, there is plenty of rich detail in the background art and all three characters are well drawn especially Daffy.While there may be some bias, seeing as he has as has been said many times always been my personal favourite of the regular Looney Tunes composers (an opinion that is shared by many), Carl Stalling's music is lively, lush, filled with high-voltage energy and character and once again he shows an unmatched ability to not just fit with but enhance the action.'A Pest in the House' is never less than very funny, an absolute riot at its best. The dialogue has plenty of the looney wildness and razor sharp wit, while the gags are visually inventive and beautifully timed. The repeated gag has enough variety to stop it from being repetitive or tired too.Daffy is hilarious here and demonstrates that he works much better when manic than when he is greedy. Sure, he is a jerk but in an enjoyable sense rather than an irritating one. One does feel sorry for poor Elmer, as he suffers as a result of being blamed for Daffy's antics, as well as the businessman in a situation that anybody staying in a hotel with noisy guests can relate to. The voice work from Arthur Q. Bryan and especially Mel Blanc is superb.Overall, one of Daffy and Elmer's best and funniest. 10/10 Bethany Cox

tavm With this cartoon the second consecutive Daffy Duck one I've seen in which he's in his prime, I've now completely recovered from the mediocre one he made with Speedy in the '60s I watched before them. He's a bellhop who unwittingly (or maybe not) disturbs a man who just wants quiet while he sleeps but keeps hitting Elmer the manager as a result of the duck's shenanigans! And this guy's room number is 666! LOL! Hilarious from beginning to end, this Chuck Jones entry just kept me guffawing in due time. I especially loved hearing Mel Blanc's singing as both Daffy and a drunk in the next room when they're both warbling! A Pest in the House is well worth the time for anyone who loves classic Looney Tunes. P.S. How surreal was it to hear Arthur Q. Bryan as both Elmer and that man who threatens to "bust you right in the nose!"?

slymusic "A Pest in the House", directed by Chuck Jones, is one of the funniest Daffy Duck cartoons ever made. Elmer Fudd is the manager of a hotel where Daffy is employed as a bellhop. A tired old heavyset businessman checks in and requests nothing but a peaceful, quiet sleep. Well, pal, you've got Daffy Duck on the premises, and you think you're going to get a good night's sleep?! Two highlights: First, Daffy hears a joke that is so funny he has to wake the poor guy up and tell it to him! And second, Daffy attempts to silence an inebriated tenant next door singing "Nobody Knows How Dry I Am", but instead, Daffy is heard taking a big swig and then joining in the song.With "A Pest in the House" like Daffy Duck, how could we not feel sorry for this poor old guy who just wants to GET SOME SLEEP?! It makes me wonder how many people can relate to this kind of situation. The frustrated look in that man's bloodshot eyes is all that is needed to convey his disappointment, and Elmer Fudd is the unfortunate recipient of punches to the face for Daffy's unintentional iniquities.

bob the moo Back in the fifties, there was a labour shortage and firms were forced to hire whoever they could. It is for this reason that Daffy finds himself working as a bellhop for Elmer Fudd. When a guest arrives requiring peace and quiet to catch up on sleep but Elmer has to deal with the fact that Daffy is insane.Being a massive Daffy fan, nothing saddens me more than to see his late 60's stuff (with the like of Speedy Gonzales), so to recover from one such cartoon I returned to this cartoon to find Daffy in suitably `crazy duck' mood. The plot here has a running gag where the guest returns to the front desk to punch Elmer; this works pretty well but it is the actions of Daffy that are the funniest bits of the film.He is a great character, but he is at his best when he is crazy. His noisy actions are imaginative and hilarious throughout and he dominates the short. Both Fudd and the guest are good but they only really act as punctuation between Daffy's hilarity.Overall this is proof, if proof was needed, that Daffy was never better than when he was crazy and off the wall. This short is a simple cartoon with a funny running gag but it is Daffy's craziness that makes it such fun to watch.
