Synopsis

Cupid (Elmer Fudd) is on the prowl around the farm. With his ever-accurate arrows, he spreads love to sometimes unwilling recipients. But when he sets his sights on Daffy, the duck wants no part of it. When Elm...erm...Cupid fires the largest arrow at his disposal at the hapless duck, Daffy falls for the nearest hen...who happens to be the main squeeze of the cock of the walk...

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . that just because you fall in love with something doesn't make it RIGHT! For instance, Elmer Fudd as the title character here notices that a bulldog is harassing a cat, so he pumps a Love Connection Arrow into the canine's butt. The mutt immediately adopts the accents of Pepe LePew when that skunk is wooing Penelope. However, Rover's feline victim is NOT amused, as she's shown well on her way to shooting herself in the head the nine times necessary to commit cat suicide once and for all. The rest of Elmer\Puck's Forced Matings are equally tragic misfires. Notice that Warner did not title this lesson as BRILLIANT CUPID, or even SILLY CUPID. The Looney Tuners went out on a limb to make an editorial judgment here: Elmer's insistence on trying to pound square pegs into round holes makes him a STUPID CUPID! Warner is preparing America for a day when that DSM Cookbook at Psychology Today is taken over by the Man-Boy Love Connection (an actual group numbering many shrinks among its members). On that day, Americans will realize that they've been totally bamboozled to "grow" toward tolerating, accepting, and abetting a moving target of "inclusion" which finds them dipping a toe into the Lowest Circle of Hell by the 21st Century. Like frogs in a pot brought to a slow boil, we failed to jump out as the water warmed until our goose was cooked! Just don't say that we weren't warned here by Warner's STUPID CUPID.
TheLittleSongbird I really enjoyed The Stupid Cupid. Admittedly it is a little on the bizarre side, but it is quite funny as well. The cartoon does start off a little slow, but there is a lot that more than makes up for it. The story is simple but fairly effective. The animation is very nice, with lovely colours and good character features. The music is my favourite asset though, it was put to perfect use and quite pleasant and quirky to listen to. The dialogue particularly that of Daffy's is funny, while there are some interesting sight gags such as the cat shooting herself and we see her shooting each of her nine lives and Daffy falling in love with a chicken. Elmer's facial expressions were pretty funny too. Elmer is still dim-witted and clueless, and while he looks and sounds different(being voiced by Mel Blanc rather than Arthur Q. Bryan) he is a good foil, while Daffy is lots of fun as always.Overall, an enjoyable cartoon, not perfect but worth watching. 9/10 Bethany Cox
Mightyzebra I really enjoyed this Daffy Duck and Elmer cartoon (with Elmer as Cupid in a nappy). It has cheerful animation, good music, interesting themes and entertaining storyline and I love the references to "The Henpecked Duck", a cartoon which had been made 3 years before this and is one of my personal favourites. This cartoon is also one of my favourites, but I would like it much more if it did not have its mainly boring, silly, slapsticky beginning which is only worth watching for people who do not know about Cupid and need to understand what Cupid does (but not why, that is never explained...).Anyhow, in this cartoon, Elmer, as Cupid, is just about to randomly shoot Daffy Duck when the little black duck spots him and complains about the last time he was shot, how he fell in love with a horrible wife (like in "The Henpecked Duck") and had too many children for him to cope with. However, later, Cupid re-shoots him anyway. Daffy falls in love with a chicken, of all people, who is already in love... Crazy capers commence...I recommend this cartoon to people who like fun, old Looney Tunes and who like a romantic, maniac and crazy Daffy Duck. Enjoy "Stupid Cupid"! :-)
Lee Eisenberg We often see images of Cupid shooting people with arrows and making them fall in love, but what if the people didn't want his arrows? That's the premise of Frank Tashlin's "The Stupid Cupid". In this case, Cupid (played by Elmer Fudd) shoots people with arrows with suction cups...and the subsequent love is more like the sort of relationships that one would expect to see in the 1970s.Anyway, when the little guy prepares to shoot Daffy Duck, Daffy resists and explains how their encounter the previous year led to Daffy's unhappy marriage and excess children (needless to say, Daffy says this at near breakneck speed). Finally, Cupid manages to shoot Daffy, and...well, let's just say that what follows is the sort of stuff that I couldn't have even predicted in a classic Warner Bros. cartoon! I just gotta wonder how much fun they must have had creating this stuff.So, while this may not have been the greatest cartoon that they made, it's certainly a hilarious one. Preceding the main plot line, there's even one of the "now I've seen everything" gags (if you're unfamiliar with these, then you'll understand it once you see the cartoon). Really funny.
