Looney Tunes.
Daffy says, as he opens up a parachute, "Here's a wrinkle Errol never thought of." That would be the swashbuckling movie hero Errol Flynn. Daffy uses his full name earlier when he says, after jumping out of a window and missing the horse underneath, "That's funny. That never happens to Errol Flynn."
On ABC, Cartoon Network, the syndicated "Merrie Melodies" show, Nickelodeon and the now-defunct WB! station, the scene at the end where Daffy references the Scarlet Pumpernickel's suicide was removed either partially (on ABC, Merrie Melodies and Nickelodeon: Daffy shooting himself was replaced by a shot of the outside of J.L.'s office) or completely (on Cartoon Network and the WB: CN would either freeze-frame the $1000 kreplach over Daffy's line "Is THAT all?!" and then cut to Daffy on the floor, or fade out to end after Daffy says "Is THAT all?". The WB used the latter CN version).
J.L., the man Daffy Duck is reading his script to, refers to Jack L. Warner, the then studio CEO and one of the founders of Warner Brothers Pictures. He is credited for being in charge of productions for films made at the studio since 1918. His name can be seen on the opening logo of various films made by Warner Brothers Pictures in the late 1930s and the 1940s, and also as producer up until the early 1970s, ending with the 1967 musical Camelot (1967) for Warner Brothers, and two films distributed by Columbia Pictures, which include the musical 1776 (1972) and the western Dirty Little Billy (1972), both made in 1972.
