actually, this was referred to earlier by whoever it was that posted he wanders around muttering “I am Elmer J Fudd, millionaire, I own a Mansion und a Yacht”
and the tag of it was
“I may be a cwazy wabbit, but I’m not going to Alcatwaz!”
Because it is obviously more important to make drek like Loonatics.
That way, Hollywood Execs can give “creative input”. Which of course makes the whole thing better. :smack: :rolleyes: 
I always thought that many (not all) of the Animaniacs cartoons were of this quality. It is one reason I watched them, because they reminded me of the 'toons from my youth.
BTW–check my Sig Line for more on this topic.
O we’re the boys of the chorus
We hope you like our show
We know you’re rootin’ for us
But now we have to gooooooooooo…
Thuuuuuuuuuuuh Five O’Clock Whistle’s on the brink
Thuh whistle won’t blow and whaddaya think?
My papa’s still in thuh factory
Cuz he don’t know what tiiiiiiiiiiiime it happens ta be!
Don’t know the name of the song, but I think I found the 'toon:
Animaniacs came the closest. IT was an excellent effort with some excellent new characters and humor built on multiple levels. Bright colors for the very young, Lots of slapstick for the grammar school set and lots of wordplay and movie references for the Teen & Adult audience.
Up until August of this year Nick Toons was showing them every night at 6:30pm. I re-watch most of them with my kids. They are 8 & 5 and all 3 of us loved them. The kids would sing along to the theme song. My daughter had to be the 8 year old in 2005 imitating Mindy and say “Love you, bye bye” and walking off. My son thought Wacko was the greatest. Any Pinky & the Brain was a treat for all of us. Good Feathers was a huge treat for me, I forgot how funny they were.
I really think they captured a lot of the spirit of Termite Terrace. 
It’s so funny how many of us quote some of the same lines.
In addition to “Shut up, shutten up” and “You might rabbit, you might”, I also say “Da back please, da back”, but I’ve forgotten which one that’s from. I just know that Bugs said it.
Besided the obvious ones with Bugs and Daffy, etc. I also love the ones with the two mice and the cat (“You are a gazelle” “I-I’m a gazelle”) and Beaky Buzzard (“Oh no no no no no”).
Oh and Marc Anthony’s kitten? Cutest. Kitten. Ever.
I hope I can give my child-to-be an appreciation of Looney Tunes. I’ve got the DVDs. We’ll have to have Boomerang on at all times. All children need to see Looney Tunes. It says a lot for a 50-60 year old cartoons to be able to make a 35 year old laugh out loud.
“Da back, please da back” is from the one with two guys marooned on an island desparate for food - BB thinks the pot is a hot tub and asks to be ‘wet down’ as one of the guys is basting him
Actually, I hadn’t realized there was a second page to this thread when I posted. My mistake.
I still find myself laughing when I randomly conjure up [deadpan british butler]“Your Thomas Hawk, Sir.”[/deadpan british butler]
What’s Opera, Doc?
Bunny of Seville
One Froggy Night
Are all among my favorite all time viewing pleasures.
Marc Anthony and the Kitten was comedy gold.
Other favorites include, but are not limited to:
The cat that was constantly scared into locking itself to the ceiling when the dog sneaks up on it and barks (they must’ve owned a lab even though the dog was some kind of hound).
I love the two dogs in the house of the future.
There is one with a Jack Benny mouse and Jack Benny actually has a cameo at the end of the cartoon.
Daffy was a brilliant creation and almost never failed to amuse.
Good times.
I remember a number of Travelogue and informational style shorts that always featured bad puns – I loved those and the follow the bouncing ball sing alongs.
Ahhh. . .to be young at heart.
I don’t think this great one has been metioned yet. Bugs is down south in the Confederacy and Yosemite Sam is the Confederate General. Bugs comes up to Sam, saying, “Suh, the Yankees are in Chattanooga” and then falls over. Sam becomes alarmed and immediately rides off.
Scene shifts to a baseball park with Sam leveling a rifle at the New York dugout, where we just see several pair of eyes peering out in fear. “The first Yankee that sets foot out of that dugout is gonna get it.”
Bugs Bunny with that big red monster…
"An interesting monster must have a interesting hairdo!” he says just before putting up the monster’s hair in dynamite curlers.
In the Easter Rabbit episode “Easter Yeggs”, Elmer Fudd says:
"I’m waiting for the Easter Wabbit, and when he comes in with his wittle basket all fwuffy and cute… BANG. Easter Wabbit stew. He he he he.
“I can’t miss with my Dick Tracy hat!”
I had a professor in college who showed “Duck Amuck” as a perfect example of existentialism.
My second favorite. First favorite is “Hillbilly Hare”, where Bugs becomes a square dance caller, and the two hillbillies have to do whatever he says - “Kick your partner, hit him in the head, hit him again, that critter ain’t dead” - then they jump into a hay baler - “Whirl whirl, twist and twirl, jump around like a flying squirrel, Now don’t you cuss and don’t you swear, come right out and form a square” and they come flying out as hay bales.
What sustained brilliance. I can’t remember a bad Looney Tunes cartoon, and the Road Runner and Wiley Coyote have the classic form of Greek tragedy.

Nobody has mentioned “The Honeymousers,” which was a dead-on spoof of “The Honeymooners”. A later cartoon had characters patterned after Gleason and Carney, who were bums on a train, when Bugs hops in the train car. “Fooooooooooooooood!”
And the circus penguin that Bugs takes back to Antarctica never fails to crack me up.
So why aren’t these on DVD? It’s much better than the tons of other crap that make it to DVD EVEN BEFORE THE SERIES GOES INTO SYNDICATION!
I’d totally buy that.
I always liked the theme of the “portable hole”. They would throw this black circle on the ground and it would be a hole through the ground. Anyone else remember those?
[Nitpick]The “follow the bouncing ball sing alongs” were not Looney Toons. They were from Paramount’s cartoon divisions (i.e., Max Fleischer and Famous Studios).[/Nitpick]
