== [[Looney Tunes]] ==
* Why does Elmer Fudd hunt? Ignore his lack of success against Bugs for the moment and consider three of the all-time classic cartoons, in which Bugs and Daffy argue about which of them is to be hunted. (It's the [[RabbitDuck Season! DuckRabbit Season!]] [[Trope Namer]], after all.) Every time Daffy loses such an argument, ''he gets shot'', yet recovers nicely with nothing more than some bill readjustment. Clearly Elmer's not out for game. Perhaps sport, then? (In contrast, Yosemite Sam has also hunted Bugs on at least one occasion, but he explicitly intends to cook him, as proven when the second half is devoted to putting Bugs in the oven.)
** Somewhere in the hunting trilogy (forget which one) this is explicitly covered when Bugs and Daffy take turns reading duck and rabbit recipes in an effort to get Elmer excited. The little guy just shrugs. "Sowwy fellas, but I'm a vegetawian. I just hunt for the sport of it!"
** He's very devoted to his hobby.
*** It's the first one; [[Rabbit Fire]].
** Not to mention the fact that [[My God, What Have I Done?|he cries whenever he's fooled into thinking he's finally killed Bugs Bunny.]]
*** There's another where a mountain lion hides out in his home to escape hunting season. There's other animal trophies. And they all run away when hunting season's over. Elmer's comment: How long it took. [[For the Lulz]] indeed.
** In one short, it's for sport, in another, it's for stew. [[Negative Continuity|Of course...]]
Line 21:
** Since Pepe's entire schtick is based around the fact that he doesn't realise ''he'' smells -- or at least, smells bad -- no, not really.
*** In one of the shorts he makes a comment implying that he does know he smells ("When you are a skunk, you learn to hold your breath for a long, long time")
** [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It|He's A Man, He Can't Help It]]
* What is with all those trucks that sometimes run over Wile E. Coyote? How is it the drivers don't see a coyote in the middle of the road?
** Who says they don't? It's a wild coyote vs. a truck. There's no danger that a coyote's going to damage the truck, so you just keep on going. That's kinda how roadkill works.
