Here’s the rules: must be a Looney Tunes or Looney Tunes affiliated cartoon. Also, the character either must have appeared in more than 1 cartoon, OR the character must have been the lead of the cartoon in which he/she/it appeared. Tiny Toons do, unfortunately, count.

Easy ones first:

1- Bugs Bunny  
2- Daffy Duck  
3- Foghorn Leghorn  
4- Dawg (Foghorn’s pal)  
5- Yosemite Sam  
6- Elmer J. Fudd  
7- Tasmanian Devil  
8- Buster Bunny  
9- Marvin the Martian  
10- Babs Bunny  
11- Plucky Duck

Take it away, Dopers.

Well, you didn’t limit us to one, but I’ll be nice and only name a few.

1. Wile E. Coyote
2. The Road Runner
3. Pepe Le Pue (sp?)
4. That poor black cat that always gets a white strip painted on it that he chases after. I mean, for God’s sake, he was essentially a stalker/potential rapist, and we LAUGHED at it!

You mention the gangsters, but not the Irish Cop?

“Would I turn the gas on if my pal Muggsy was in there?”  
“You might, rabbit…you might.”

Has anyone named the two feuding hillbillies yet? The ones that Bugs has squaredancing as they fight?

Dude, come on.  
Where’s the fun in that?

The idea is to name one each, right?

Then if you’re so cool that you know fifty off the top of your head, you can still sit on the thread and shit out names one by one!!!

Right!
