Line 746:
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Though a lot of major and minor Looney Tunes characters have been this on occasion, Pepé Le Pew is possibly (nay, undisputedly) the only character whose schtick is this (along with [[Handsome Lech]], [[Mad Love]], [[Chivalrous Pervert]], [[Abhorrent Admirer]] [for both sexes], [[The Masochism Tango]] [1953's "Wild Over You"], [[Black Comedy Rape]] [if you believe Dave Chappelle and those uptight [[Moral Guardians]]], a pinch of [[No Guy Wants to Be Chased]], some [[The Hunter Becomes the Hunted]] for taste, and a nice helping of [[Double Entendre]])
* [[Stock Audio Clip]]: The Roadrunner's "Meep Meep".
* [[Stock Footage]]: Abuses this enough to [https://web.archive.org/web/20070923212001/http://looney.goldenagecartoons.com/miscelooneyous/reused/ get a whole page] tracking virtually every usage of this trope in the original shorts!
** The first opening to The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show (i.e. the one without the new Darrell Van Citters animation) reuses the Bugs and Daffy song and dance animation from The Bugs Bunny Show's opening.
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: To the point where they [[Stock Footage|recycle the same explosion footage]] at almost every opportunity.
Line 846:
* [[Turtle Island]]: In "The Ducktators," an Emperor Hirohito duck places a sign on a turtle, who gets mad and beats him up with said sign (despite that the duck briefly stops him to show a button that reads, "I am Chinese"—a reference to Chinese-American immigrants who were mistaken for Japanese and were put in internment camps because of it).
* [[Uncancelled]]: A few times. The first was in 1953 when WB temporarily closed the cartoon unit for a few months, due to a variety of factors like the 3-D fad; the unit opened a few months later. The next was in 1963 when WB, facing increasingly stiff competition from TV and less theaters running theatrical shorts before movies, shut the cartoon unit down again. From 1964 to 1967, cartoons were produced at DePatie-Freleng instead. In 1967, production resumed at Warner Bros. but only two years later, the cartoon division was shut down for good.
* [[Uncle Tomfoolery]]: The reason why there's a collection of cartoons called [https://web.archive.org/web/20101202202204/http://looney.goldenagecartoons.com/ltcuts/censored11/ The Censored Eleven], though there are some WB cartoons with extensive black stereotypes in them that ''aren't'' part of this collection, but have been banned from syndication all the same.
* [[Unexplained Recovery]]:
** A [[Running Gag]] involves characters like Wile E. Coyote getting seriously injured and then being perfectly fine in the next scene with no explanation as to how they recovered from their injuries.
