One of only three humans in the regular cast (the others being Yosemite Sam & Tweety's owner Granny). The [[Butt Monkey]], often [[Too Dumb to Live]]. An avid hunter, thus Jones' favorite adversary for both Bugs & Daffy, reaching a peak in the iconic

'''Debut:''' "Elmer's Candid Camera" (1940), Jones.
'''Tropes related to Elmer Fudd:'''
* [[Affably Evil]]: Generally nice guy when not trying to blast (not-so-)
* [[Anti-Villain]]
* [[Arch Enemy]]: [[Bugs Bunny]]
Line 57 ⟶ 61:
* [[Foe Yay]]: Always seems to fall for Bugs' crossing dressing antics, no matter how paper-thin they may be.
* [[Harmless Villain]]
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Who would have guessed that the same Elmer Fudd that seemingly can't tell the difference between an actual woman and Bugs Bunny in a dress [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2auI6Uz3D8I was an expert in economics]? <ref> At least, when [[Executive Meddling]] brought on by the [[Red Scare]] forced him to be.</ref>
* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: But of course.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: This is pretty much Elmer Fudd's reaction whenever he thinks he's finally killed Bugs. No matter how hard he's been trying throughout the episode to shoot Bugs he always breaks down in tears when he thinks he's finally done it, calling himself a murderer. [[Fridge Logic|Which calls into question why he's a hunter in the first place]].
** About Elmer being a hunter despite feeling sorry for the animals he killed: in "Rabbit Fire," it was established that Elmer is a vegetarian and he hunts for the sport of it.
*** Granted Elmer's usual "kill" amounts to shooting Daffy's bill off, his victim usually unharmed outside being somewhat annoyed.
* [[One Mario Limit]]: ''Both'' of Elmer Fudd's names have become separate terms in the English language that refer to him. In Amateur Radio, a type of those new to the hobby are known as "Elmers", in allusion to his slurred speech and [[Gosh Dang It to Heck|"swearing"]]. In firearms communities, "Fudd" refers to old hunters, who hunt purely for sport instead of subsistence, that will [[The Quisling|happily sell all other gun owners up the river politically]] so long as they can keep their hunting arms. Despite their sporting focus, Fudds aren't considered particularly skilled with guns (often to the point of [[I Just Shot Marvin in the Face|being more dangerous to things other than their target]]).
* [[Team Rocket Wins]]: {{spoiler|Actually got his revenge on "that wascawy wabbit" in
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]
Line 655 ⟶ 660:
* [[Femme Fatale]]
* [[Furry Female Mane]]: she has a tuft of blonde hair on the top of her head.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Tina, Daffy's girlfriend; their relationship is opposite to that of their male "counterparts", with Tina playing the [[Straight Man]] to Lola's antics.▼
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: the purpose of her introduction.
** [[Denser and Wackier]]: The purpose of her characterization in ''[[The Looney Tunes Show]]''.
* [[Humanoid Female Animal]]
* [[Motor Mouth]]: In ''[[The Looney Tunes Show]]'', Lola demonstrates a tendency to ramble on for long periods of time, much to the listener's (usually Bugs's) annoyance.▼
* [[Petting Zoo Person]]: In ''[[The Looney Tunes Show]]'' and ''[[New Looney Tunes]]''.
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: The way WB has marketed her since her debut in ''[[Space Jam]]''.
* [[The Renaissance Age of Animation]]: Ironically made her debut in the last few years of that period.
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Almost certainly added to the regular Looney Tunes line-up because of this. Before her, the most common female Looney Tunes characters were Penelope and Granny.
▲* [[Motor Mouth]]: In The Looney Tunes Show, Lola demonstrates a tendency to ramble on for long periods of time, much to the listener's (usually Bugs's) annoyance.
