There was a time when Daffy Duck was being licensed for commercial endorsements more often than frenemy Bugs Bunny. One such instance was in 1998, when Frito-Lay hired Daffy to work with Chester Cheetah----as a stunt double.
If anything, we'd already proven that Daffy was meant to be a second banana after all......

I have to say this: I much more prefer Tex Avery and Bob Clampett's "crazy, darn fool" Daffy Duck from the 1940s over Friz Freleng and Chuck Jones' greedy, jerky loser Daffy Duck from the 1950s and 1960s. Thank goodness Cartoon Network's "New Looney Tunes" and HBO Max's "Looney Tunes Cartoons" are bringing Daffy back to his screwball roots.
Seeing as how this was the first time I'd seen this particular ad, I'd have to say they tried to do right by Daffy, but not given enough time.
