Looney Tunes/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Complete Monster]]: Lawyer Goodwill from "The Case Of The Stuttering Pig".

** The trapper from "Porky In The North Woods".

** If most of Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn's scores don't count as CMOA, I don't know what does!

* [[Dork Age]]: Every cartoon produced [http://looney.goldenagecartoons.com/miscelooneyous/1960sarticle.html in the 1960s] after the WB animation studio initially closed its doors.

* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: Speedy Gonzales, despite being perceived as an [[Ethnic Scrappy]] by Cartoon Network and even banned from airing, was very popular with Latin Americans, Mexicans to be more specific.

** Speedy is also very popular in Germany itself, enough to have gotten his own show there in the '70s, complete with its own unique [[Memetic Mutation|(and often remixed)]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfEDO1uZxVA theme song].

** Because of this and [[The Weird Al Effect]], a lot of old tunes from the '30s and '40s are only remembered at all because they were sung in a ''Looney Tunes'' short.

* [[Growing the Beard]]: Initially, the Looney Tunes started as shameless ripoffs of Disney's success and Merrie Melodies was just made to sell Warner Studio's sheet music (it's the 1930s version of the music video). That all changed after [[Harman and Ising|Hugh Harman and Rudolph Ising]] parted ways with Leon Schlesinger, forcing him to assemble a new staff--many of them important in shaping the studios future. While the shorts still remained Disney like in nature, Tex Avery and Bob began going against the status quo of animation, starting with Tex's landmark short "Gold Diggers of '49" where he started taking advantage of cartoons being able to do anything and use them as vehicles for gags. It's generally agreed that things vastly improved as a whole when Tex Avery and Bob Clampett began to direct, as they were both a big part of shaping the Looney Tunes sense of humor we know today. However, it's the '40s that are often seen as the high point in the studio's history (ironically, Avery had left WB in 1941, but his influence had already been established).

* [[Unpopular Popular Character]]: Daffy

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

* [[Were Still Relevant Dammit]]: Much of WB's use of the characters since the '80s can be seen as a form of this.

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