![]() Elmer is exhausted, telling Daffy that he wants all of the "push-button nonsense" removed and tries to go upstairs and take an aspirin, but cannot do so because his stairway has been removed. Daffy shuts off the machine and casually refers to the noose as the " Alcatraz Ascot" as if it were a type of neck tie. Daffy tries to demonstrate it, but mistakenly pushes the unmarked button, causing the machine to put Elmer in a noose ("Help! Get me down!"). Elmer spots an unmarked red button, saying in his distinct voice, "I think I'll push this wed one." Daffy stops Elmer, shouting, "No, no, no, no, no! Not the WED one! Don't EVER push the WED one!" Elmer pushes another button that reads " Burglar Alarm" and a mechanical dog comes out of the wall which bites him in the leg, and he screams in pain.ĭaffy then takes Elmer into a bedroom and shows him a device which will automatically tie a neck tie, from the options of Bow, Four-in-hand, Five-in-hand, False Granny, Windsor, Smindsor and an unlabeled option. So Daffy agrees to let Elmer push a button. Daffy tries to continue the demonstration, but Elmer objects, saying that something bad happens to him whenever Daffy pushes a button. Elmer becomes angry, telling Daffy that " so angwy, burning up!" which again activates the fire extinguisher and Elmer is doused with another bucket of water ("I tried to warn you!"). Daffy quickly deactivates it, then asks Elmer if he is tired of looking at his dirty windows Daffy then summons a machine which covers Elmer's window with bricks, and says that he'll "never have to look at those dirty windows again". Daffy tries to adjust the device but the adjustment causes it to start removing the plaster ("Oh! My walls are wuined!"). Elmer simply says that he would scrub them, though Daffy pushes a button marked " Wall Cleaner" and a robotic device emerges to clean the walls but it removes Elmer's wallpaper instead (humorously defacing a portrait of a captain in the process by removing all but the captain and his underwear). Daffy suggests what Elmer would do if the walls were dirty. Undaunted, Daffy points out the garbage disposal, which is revealed to be a pig which is housed under the kitchen sink (presumably because of budget cutbacks).ĭaffy then shows Elmer the "main control panel" which operates all of the new appliances. Daffy encourages Elmer to bask in the kitchen's "treasure trove of work-saving appliances" and demonstrates a new knife sharpener which ends up destroying the blade on one of Elmer's knives. Probably needs adjusting", then guides Elmer into the kitchen. Daffy states "It's, uh, very sensitive to heat. The chair then automatically puts a cigar in Elmer's mouth and lights it, but the smoke activates a robotic fire extinguisher from another room which douses Elmer with a bucket of water. Elmer likes it at first, but Daffy pushes a button and Elmer receives an aggressive massage, which dazes him. Daffy then guides Elmer to a massaging chair. Elmer sees that his house is different and asks Daffy what he's done, but Daffy quickly pushes a button and a machine removes Elmer's hat and coat. Daffy greets Elmer at the front door and welcomes him to his new future-antic push button home. Later that day, Elmer hitches a ride in a van from Duluth and returns home. Despite Elmer's protests that he has his own car, he is placed on a non-stop bus to Duluth. Elmer tries to speak but is repeatedly interrupted by Daffy, who grabs Elmer by the arm and escorts him to a bus to take him to the office. Daffy visits Elmer Fudd at his house as he is preparing to leave for work, and says that Acme has authorized him to install, at no cost, a complete line of ultra-modern automatic household appliances (on a 10-day free trial). Reprising a salesman role that Daffy previously played in Daffy Dilly (1948), The Stupor Salesman (1948) and Fool Coverage (1952), Design for Leaving opens with Daffy as a fast-talking door-to-door salesman from the Acme Future-Antic Push-Button Home of Tomorrow Household Appliance Company, Inc. ![]() 4 in the Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition at the Century of Progress, the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago.
