Fudd will kick Winnie the Pooh’s ass.
If you start bringing other A.A. Milne characters into it, it’s only fair to bring Bugs, and all the Brits are toast.
Elmer Fudd kills himself first, so Elmer wins.
Wait, by “Fight to the Death” you do mean a race to get there first right.
Have you considered that Bugs is usually powerless against “good” or “innocent” characters? I’m not sure that the annoyance factor of the denizens of the 100 acre wood would be sufficient to overcome this weakness of Bugs’.
Now, if we could just get Pooh to accept Little Red Riding Hood on his team, Bugs might have a chance…
Pooh is difficult to kill. I’m giving him the edge here.
Pooh…if he’s prepared.
(I can’t believe that I got to use that line. Thank you Jebus!!!
I think you’d have a hard time getting Pooh focused on the whole “fight to the death thing.” He might see a bee, or a balloon, or suddenly remember an appointment with Wol that he forgot to go to three days earlier and wander away. So, he might not show up for the fight. Or stay long. Meanwhile, Elmer would probably have injured himself while preparing for the fight and due to the lack of decent medical care in the Hundred Acre Wood would probably die on his own. Which, in a fight to the death, is kind of a forfeiture.
So, once you located him, you’d get to tell Pooh that he had won.
Insofar as people are expressing actual opinions, I’m reading the vote as 7-4, Pooh.
Hmph.
No, I’ve never heard of that. Would you have an example?
Several. The first that comes to mind is when Bugs meets up with the circus penguin in 8 Ball Bunny. This is the best example I can think of a time when Bugs seriously could NOT do anything mean or wrong to someone he perceived as “good” or in need of protection. A similar theme shows up with Frigid Hare, though it’s not as clear. It’s hard finding examples, though, because Bugs very rarely interacts with innocents. Some other examples would include those times when he’s telling tall tales to young rabbits (sorry I can’t think of enough details to make a search for those worthwhile…) where the young rabbits hit him left and right with zingers.
The majority of his antagonists are annoying, to say the least, if not outright villains. And against those no holds are barred. It may be his own nature, or the laws of the cartoon universe, or (most likely) an extension of the Hayes Code - Bugs never really goes after an innocent. The only exception I can think of to this rule is Little Red Riding Hood. But, she had to get really annoying through the whole short before he let loose on her. I really cannot imagine how Bugs would be able to view Pooh as anything but an innocent of the first water.
ETA: Am I really digging up cites for a serious discussion of the rules of Bugs Bunny’s abilities, as demonstrated in the classic shorts? :rolleyes:
No, don’t answer that.
I’m glad I’m already calling myself an Otaku, though. 
He does leave him at the South Pole rather than return him to Hoboken. But I digress; the Bugs reference is merely to assert that the conflict should include only Winnie the Pooh and Elmer Fudd, lest another character be used a deus ex machina to alter the outcome as desired.
Pooh is apparently not capable of violence. When he and his entourage appeared in the Kingdom Hearts games, their parts of the game were non-violent. The Winnie the Pooh cartoons I’ve seen were completely devoid of violence. Pooh doesn’t have an “always wins mojo” like Bugs Bunny; therefore Elmer is not pre-destined to lose.
Elmer, on the other hand, is a chronic fuck-up. How much of that is because he is inherently inept and how much of it is due to Bugs’ mojo, therefore, is the key. If, absent Bugs, he is even marginally competent he should defeat Pooh quite easily.
Don’t piss off ther Pooh. That’s all I can say at this time.
Fudd will win. He has that shotgun, and Pooh has…honey?
What are they fighting about? What’s their motivation? Fudd would get angrier if provoked. Has Pooh ever been violently angry?
Take a good look at this picture (SFW, production still from the movie).
Note the bags under the eyes, the familiar way that he holds the rifle even while wearing that outfit. A born killer, I tell you. Fudd never had a 1000 yard stare like that.
Yes, but as Fudd gets angrier his coordination, already poor, ends up in the toilet. And Pooh has never been told that he’s being hunted by a vegetarian, just for the sport of it, before. That might be enough to get him angry.
(Of course, it’s more likely to get Fudd and Pooh sidetracked into a discussion of just what a vegetarian might be. At which point, someone’s head would explode when they get to the idea of someone who objects to eating meat hunting for pleasure. I don’t know who’s head it would be. But someone’s head would.)
It’s only one cartoon that I’m aware of where Elmer announced his vegetarianism, but I just can’t imagine him hunting Pooh to eat the fluff on the inside. So, whether this Elmer is the vegetarian one, or not, he’s unlikely to be planning to hunt Pooh for the dinner pot.
Original quote is from “Bored of the Rings,” a book written by the Harvard Lampoon–they deserve all credit. The names of Elmer and Pooh have not have been changed so as to comply with the subject of the OP.
…Pooh then responded by pulling out a .38 and emptying it in Elmer’s direction. He would have finished Elmer off then and there, but pity stayed his hand. “It’s a pity I’ve run out of bullets ,” he thought.
Huge apologies to the Harvard Lampoon for my altering their work in this shameful way, but when ya gotta, ya gotta…
Elmer Fudd has a “Must Fail” thing going on while Winnie the Pooh “can come to no true or lasting harm.”
If it comes down to a fight to the death, Elmer will spend hours or days, failing to kill Pooh. Pooh might not even become aware that he is actually in danger and eventually, Elmer’s “Must Fail” will lead to his own accidental death and thus a Winnie the Pooh victory.
Jim *This is my best analysis utilizing my years of deep study in the science of Cartoon physics and Mass Media Tropes. *
As Pooh is making his way down the hallway to finally leave the Disney temple, he notices that his teachers (Peter Pan, Christopher Robin, Eeyore, and the others who have trained him) are standing along the hallway to the outdoors. They have their sleeves pulled up, each exposing burn scars on each arm (Right arm—Disney trademark, Left arm–Cleaning instructions.
Pooh enters a small room which has the door that will take him outside. There are 2 stone stands in the room.
On his left side, he sees a boiling pot of honey. This pot has the trademark and cleaning instructions engraved into it… He realises that he must carry and place the boiling honey pot to the Right stand, which wll activate a counterweight that will open the door to the outside.
Thinking to himself “Oh Bother ,” he shakes back the sleeves of his red T-shirt, grasps the pot of boiling honey, and carries it across the room, placing it on the Right stand. The door opens, and Pooh staggers out of the door, and falls face first into a snowbank, with his forearms (now scarred with the Trademark and cleaning instructions, just as his teacher’s arms were) pressed firmly into the snow.
Elmer is going to get his ass kicked bloody if he starts anything.
They get one look at each other and decide to make love, not war.
What? You always knew. Both of them.
