Egghead Rides Again is a 1937 Merrie Melodies Warner Bros. film directed by Tex Avery.

Plot

Energenic Egghead is bouncing around pretending to be a cowboy until his obnoxious cadence gets him kicked out of the apartment complex he's living in. While on the street he finds an ad for a wanted cowboy in Wyoming. He applies and goes through various training sessions, but fails them all. Egghead, believing uselessness decides to leave, but the expert cowboys give him a different job: cleaning up after the cows and horses.

Trivia

This is the first appearance of Egghead, who many think later evolved into Elmer Fudd. His voice and personality would vary from cartoon to cartoon. In this film, he's very Daffy Duck-like, and even speaks with a voice resembling Daffy Duck's. His original personality was inspired by radio comedian Joe Penner. Mel Blanc provided the voice of Egghead, and Billy Bletcher voiced some of the cowboys.
