Tease for Two is a Looney Tunes cartoon animated short starring Daffy Duck and the Goofy Gophers (in their final appearance). Released August 28, 1965, the cartoon is directed by Robert McKimson. The voices were performed by Mel Blanc.
The cartoon marked the final theatrical appearance of the Goofy Gophers during the original Golden Age of Animation era. Unlike previous Goofy Gophers cartoons where Stan Freberg voices Tosh, Blanc voices both Mac and Tosh.
The title is a play on the phrase "tea for two."
Plot
The map of fortune hunter Daffy Duck indicates that gold is located at precisely the spot where the Goofy Gophers live. When Mac and Tosh refuse to leave and defend their home, Daffy decides that violent means are needed to involuntarily remove what he considers pests. The Gophers fight back by giving Daffy first explosives, then ordinary rocks painted like gold, the latter of which fools Daffy into thinking he actually struck gold.
Trivia
- Mel Blanc, who supplied Daffy's grunting, recycled it from the 1963 short Chili Weather when Sylvester grunted to lift a can off his head. He also supplied Charlie Brown's grunting in You're the Greatest, Charlie Brown and You're In the Super Bowl, Charlie Brown, and the same grunt was also heard in Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown by Linus, and by the Pink Panther on more than one occasion.
- This would be the final 3 cartoons where Daffy was not paired with Speedy Gonzales.
- This is the only short starring the Goofy Gophers in which Mel Blanc voiced both Mac and Tosh.
