Wiki.
Tick Tock Tuckered is a 1944 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Bob Clampett. The cartoon was released on April 8, 1944, and stars Porky Pig and Daffy Duck. This is a color remake of the cartoon Porky's Badtime Story (1937), with Daffy filling the role that was previously played by Gabby Goat. A gag from Friz Freleng's cartoon Notes to You (1941) was also reused as well, while a reference to The Dover Boys (1942) is briefly made.
In the film, Porky and Daffy oversleep. They arrive at their work hours later than they should, and are threatened with termination. They resolve to sleep earlier than usual at night, in hopes of being able to wake up early on the next morning. But they are kept awake by animal noises, the brightness of the moonlight, and the effects of a thunderstorm on their house. They arrive at work early the next morning, but they realize that it is Sunday and that the company is closed for the weekend.
