Tweety Bird, the Road Runner and often Bugs serve a purpose, they’re the foil to the antihero, you’re not supposed to like them. You’re supposed to like Speedy Gonzales, but I don’t. ---

> [@Biffy\_the\_Elephant\_Shrew](#): > > Not to be confused with [Hoppity Hooper](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoppity_Hooper). I vaguely remember him. I was quite young, we were at my grand parents and - if I remember correctly - the plot revolved around a large bird that would come and carry people away. And one of the characters - likely “Uncle” Waldo P. Wigglesworth - taught him to stop. The cry “Big Birds Don’t Grab People” came into play. Years and years pass and I don’t recall too much (obviously), but even into my 40s my dad would say: Big birds don’t grab people! In his best approximation of the character. ---

> [@Proudest\_Monkey](#): > > Don’t all the Pepe Le Pew cartoons have the exact same plot? Or maybe I’ve only seen one repeated over and over. Cat gets accidentally striped, Pepe falls for Cat thinking she’s a skunk, Cat hates Pepe’s rank smell and tries to ditch him repeatedly. Is that the only one? If so it’s the only one I’ve ever seen. I’ve gotta defend Pepe, not for his behavior (of course), but because Mel Blanc’s voice characterization’s a riot, his songs are fab, and he has better puns than Bugs. ---

Pepe Le Pew. I hated him as a kid, and still do. ---

My vote goes for Taz. I wasn’t a big fan of the baby Hawk cartoons either. LOVED Speedy. Porky was funny, I still remember the haunted house cartoons (one with Granny, another one with Porky)… poor Sylvester was so scared… > [@Proudest\_Monkey](#): > > Don’t all the Pepe Le Pew cartoons have the exact same plot? Or maybe I’ve only seen one repeated over and over. Cat gets accidentally striped, Pepe falls for Cat thinking she’s a skunk, Cat hates Pepe’s rank smell and tries to ditch him repeatedly. Is that the only one? If so it’s the only one I’ve ever seen. There are a couple where the Cat DOES fall for him, but is nauseated by his odor. And a couple where she decides to take the plunge and get herself all stinky in order to be next to him. Of course, just as she is doing that, _he_ decides to clean up and smell nice. In those cases, it ends up with him running from her stench. I like Pepe. BTW, I thought it was Duck Dodgers in the 24 and a half centuries. ---

The coyote/roadrunner cartoon were my least favorite. I’d go get more cereal while they were on. Oddly, I liked they W.E. Coyote and Bugs cartoons. ---

You mean where Wile E. talks? Yes, those are good. There’s one later exception, though; 1963’s _Hare-Breadth Hurry_ in which Bugs Bunny subs for the Road-Runner and Wile E. is mute. Bugs is a real prick in that one. ---

> [@Mr\_Shine](#): > > I agree with this, but I must cast my vote for Pepe Le Pew, not only a borderline rapist but even taking him on his own terms he’s not the least bit funny. 😕 What’s **not** funny about a species-flexible horny skunk with a stinking-bad Maurice Chevalier ahk-sannt?! (See, the funny part is, there are no [skunks](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunk) in France! But there **are** plenty of horndogs who never bathe or shave or or use deodorant! 🙂 ) ---

I’ve always felt that Tweety Bird deserved a solid thwack with a lead tennis racket. The roadrunner was a pain in the ass, but nowhere near as obnoxious as Tweety. ---
