Casa de Calma is the 7th episode of The Looney Tunes Show. ucUC

Plot

Burrowing through thousands of miles of dirt, Bugs and Daffy hope to arrive at a resort, Casa de Calma, but instead find themselves at a trailer park thanks to Bugs' faulty GPS. Bugs points out Daffy's uncle, who greets Daffy before falling down, prompting Daffy to deny it as the duo resume burrowing and eventually end up at the resort. There, Daffy plans on doing all sorts of activity, but all Bugs plans on doing is reading until he spots Starlett Johansson. Daffy insists he'll get her before Bugs and prepares to jump off a high-dive board, only to be blinded by Bugs, causing the duck to belly flop into the pool, drenching Starlett. Not taking this well, her bodyguard punches Daffy.

In his second attempt to win Starlett over, Daffy spots Bugs in the pool with Starlett and thinks he's trying to steal Starlett from him. Daffy's high-dive catapults Starlett into Bugs' float ring just as he pulls a switch, turning it into an inflatable island. Sinking in the pool, Daffy encounters Starlett's bodyguard, who gives the duck another punch, sending him straight into the pool wall. In Daffy's third high-dive attempt, he ascends a ladder all the way into space and jumps off the board, doing various tricks during his descent. He crashes into the pool floor thanks to Bugs draining the water. As Bugs leaves with Starlett, the now-shattered Daffy is swept up and dumped into a trash can by Starlett's bodyguard.

When Bugs offers Daffy a round of golf, Daffy initially rejects and spots Starlett riding in a golf cart driven by her bodyguard. Daffy then gains interest in the golf round and, after a fruitless argument, sees Starlett golf as well as he becomes impatient with Bugs calculating his swing. Seeing Starlett and her bodyguard drive off for the next hole, Daffy throws the ball and races after her, abandoning the current hole. As Starlett sinks her ball, she proceeds, causing Daffy to recklessly drive in an attempt to catch up but causes Bugs and himself to fall into a sand trap. When a remark from Daffy angers Bugs, Bugs swings a club into the golf cart, shooting it into a water hazard. Daffy gets out and sees Bugs wave to Starlett, but an alligator eats the duck before he can stop Bugs. Getting with Starlett, Bugs walks off in the sunset with her, noting that he lost his partner.

The following day at the beach, Starlett lounges and is protected from the sun by her bodyguard as Bugs builds a mansion-like sandcastle. After mocking the rabbit, Daffy demands that he take him parasailing, and Bugs begrudgingly abides. In the water, Bugs starts the boat and reverses over Daffy. Claiming he should be more careful, the rabbit then speeds forward, yanking the duck with it. After a brief moment of confusion, Daffy activates the parasail and flies as he tries once more to hit on Starlett. Thanks to Bugs turning the boat around repeatedly, Daffy becomes sick and briskly tells Starlett to pay attention to him in a way that angers her bodyguard, who gets on a jetski, walks on the rope holding Daffy to the boat, and punches Daffy before returning to shielding Starlett from the sun. A four-toothed Daffy asks Bugs to bring him down, but when Bugs pretends he can't hear, Daffy shouts to be put back on the beach, Bugs complies by driving erratically to the shore, causing Daffy to crash-land beside Bugs' sandcastle. The drawbridge lands on top of the already-injured Daffy, and Bugs enters alongside Starlett while telling her bodyguard to be wary of the paparazzi. The drawbridge ascends, revealing Daffy holding a camera, earning him even more injury, this time from the reticent bodyguard.

At a spa, Bugs and Daffy lounge around with cucumbers in their eyes while in towels. Daffy sees Starlett enter the massage room, and he and Bugs enter after her. Seeing the respective massagers for him and Bugs, Daffy switches them based on their names, but ends up being roughly handled by a man named Leslie as Bugs is gracefully massaged by a woman nicknamed Joe (her real name is Josephine). As the two exit, Bugs tips Josephine/Joe while Daffy leaves without tipping Leslie, making him noticeably upset. Afterward, Bugs and Daffy retreat to a sauna, where Daffy claims that the current heat isn't enough to soothe his aching back and tries to shovel more coal into the water bucket. Instead, the coal lands on the silent bodyguard's groin, and he easily pick up Daffy, yanks on his legs, and angrily punches him in the face yet again.

Bugs finally becomes so fed up with Daffy falling in love that he hatches a clever plan to fall in love with Starlett instead of Daffy. As the first step, he lures Daffy into a mineral bath that claims it'll take years off a person's age, oblivious to a warning not to bathe excessively. Bugs continues with his plan by leaving Daffy so he could to read until nightfall. Finishing his book, Bugs remembers Daffy's bath and rushes to his whereabouts, where Daffy has transformed into a duckling. Escorting the now-baby duck as part of his plan, Bugs is noticed by Starlett and the two leave for more quality time as the bodyguard handles Daffy in a finally nonviolent way. Later, Bugs drops baby Daffy in front of Daffy's uncle's door as the final phase of his plan. Seeing this, he picks Daffy up and shows the duckling to his wife as Bugs, impressed that his scheme had worked and Daffy is no longer in love, boards a limo next to Starlett.

Trivia

Lesley & Daffy

An early drawing of Leslie's massage.

  • In the first scene of the bodyguard, you can see "LOVE" ton his left fist. In later scenes, the tattoo disappears.
  • "Casa de Calma" means "Quiet House" in Spanish and "House of Calm" in Portuguese.
  • In this episode, it is revealed that Daffy has an uncle who lives in a trailer park. He has a woman living in the trailer with him (who is Daffy's aunt according to the credits) but she remains offscreen throughout the episode.
  • When Bugs pointed out Daffy's uncle, he replied, "I've never seen that man before in my life," indicating that he is somewhat embarrassed by his uncle.
  • The Mary Higgins Clark book Bugs is seen reading My Gal Thursday is a parody of the Mary Higgins Clark novel My Gal Sunday.
  • Daffy and Bugs burrowed underground to get to the resort, similar to how they traveled before together in the classic cartoons such as Ali Baba Bunny (1957) and The Abominable Snow-Rabbit (1961).
  • Starlett Johansson is a parody of real-life actress, Scarlett Johansson.
  • Bugs breaks the fourth wall by asking the audience to "never buy a GPS from a vending machine" and "if he should let Daffy slide". Bugs have been self aware several times like in the classic Looney Tunes cartoons.
  • This episode was originally a rejected Laff Riot pilot episode which was later turned into an episode of The Looney Tunes Show. This explains why this episode is much closer to the tone and style of the classic Looney Tunes shorts in comparison to the other episodes of the series.
    • Unlike the other episodes that contain two or three plots going at the same time, this episode only has one plot going continuously throughout the 22-minute segment.
    • This is also the only episode where Bugs' house is never seen.
  • Running Gag: Daffy getting bad luck throughout the entire episode, except when he is a baby.
