Corn on the Cop is a 1965 Merrie Melodies short directed by Irv Spector.
== Title ==
The title is a play on "corn on the cob."
== Plot ==
On Halloween night, Granny is shopping for candy at a local grocery store. The next customer is an armed robber, who is wearing a blouse and skirt identical to the real Granny. Policemen Daffy and Porky are given the suspect's description and attempt to apprehend the robber.
Daffy and Porky tries to capture the robber, but ends up fumbling every of their attempts. An annoyed Granny, who has no idea what is going on, mistakes the inept policemen for mischievous trick-or-treaters and mistakes real trick-or-treaters for juvenile delinquents, while the robber, who is hiding out in a vacant apartment in the same building in which Granny is living, also foils every attempt by Daffy and Porky. When Daffy tries to get to Granny's room using wooden boards, Porky finds the nails bent and decides to remove it and replace them, but the inept pig ends up making Daffy fall instead.
Eventually, Granny figures out what is going on and catches her "double." After giving the suspect a spanking, she hands him over to Officer Flaherty. Flaherty commends Granny for catching the robber, after which Granny tells him "there are two other juvenile delinquents" who should be sent home to their parents, referring to Daffy and Porky, but when she asks for their addresses, Daffy gives her their precinct address and begs her to back off.

== Goofs ==
* When Porky makes his comment on Daffy's bad carpentry while taking out the wooden bridge's nails, his mouth is not moving.
== Censorship ==
* On both ABC and The WB, the part where Daffy is shot in the face by the robber dressed as Granny was cut.http://www.intanibase.com/gac/looneytunes/censored-c.aspxhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P56B87lk_Ps The scene plays out as if the robber ran off while Daffy and Porky was arguing about getting credit for the apprehension.
== Notes ==
* This cartoon marks several milestones for the classic Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies series:
** This short is the final theatrical pairing of Daffy Duck and Porky Pig during the Golden Age of American Animation.
*** This is also the only such cartoon during the time that the Warner Bros. cartoons were being produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises.
** This is the final official appearance of Porky in the Golden Age of American Animation. Porky would appear via reanimated stock footage from "Robin Hood Daffy" in "Mucho Locos" the following year.
** This is also the final appearance of Granny in the Golden Age of American Animation.
** This is the only time that Irv Spector, who was mostly known as a story artist, ever directed a theatrical short. Previously, he had largely worked as a writer for Paramount's Famous Studios cartoon studio.
* This is one of the few DePatie-Freleng era shorts to not feature Speedy Gonzales with Daffy Duck, the other two being "Suppressed Duck" and "Tease for Two".
* This short also reveals Granny's actual last name ("Webster") as mentioned in the closing when Daffy and Porky's superior police addresses Granny by her last name.
** Also in this short, Granny is voiced by Joan Gerber instead of June Foray.
