Looney Tunes/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: Tweety. It doesn't help that his first appearance was pink.

* [[Weird Al Effect]]: A lot of the characters (particularly Pepe Le Pew and Foghorn Leghorn) are based on near-obscure celebrities that people these days wouldn't recognize without thinking of the Looney Tunes. Pepe Le Pew is based on French actor [[wikipedia:Charles Boyer|Charles Boyer]], while Foghorn Leghorn is based on [[wikipedia:Senator Claghorn|Fred Allen's "Senator Claghorn" character]].

* [[What an Idiot!]]: It's a wonder Private Snafu wasn't declared 4F due to mental incompetence.

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?]]: A lot of people (particularly the ones who grew up seeing the [[Edited for Syndication]] broadcasts of the Looney Tunes on Saturday morning TV, after school on weekdays, or on Cartoon Network before 2004 and have never seen the cartoons made before 1948, including the World War II-era shorts and the Private Snafu cartoons) will be surprised to discover that the Looney Tunes has a lot of humor that is either not appropriate for children or will fly over the heads of children and those who know nothing of the pop culture or history at the time. In that regard, the Looney Tunes can be seen as ''The Simpsons'' or ''[[Family Guy]]'' if either show was a 5-7 minute short shown exclusively in theaters before a feature film, right down to the fact that all three are or have been shown on TV [[Edited for Syndication|with jokes and scenes cut for time and/or content]] and are readily available on DVD or online with these "offending" scenes intact.
