Lucky Ducky is a 1948 American animated cartoon from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It was directed by Tex Avery, animated by Walt Clinton (here credited as Walter Clinton), Preston Blair, Louie Schmitt, and Grant Simmons, with musical direction by Scott Bradley.

George and Junior notice the leaking, and as George covers the hole with his hands, water starts coming out of his ears, but are stopped by Junior, who covers George's with his hands. Suddenly, water starts coming out of George's ears, and is stopped by George, who stops the water by using Junior's nose like a faucet. George uncovers the hole, and the duckling honks his nose, laughs, and dives back in. George points his gun into the hole, and tries to shoot the duckling, but fails when the duckling snaps it shut with a
