Line 5:
'''''Sylvester the Cat and Tweety Bird''''' are two of the most well known characters in the [[Looney Tunes]] and [[Merrie Melodies]] stable. They had dozens of cartoons together, with Tweety encountering Sylvester at least 48 times during their heyday.
Obviously, these shorts have achieved much popularity, second only to the [[Bugs Bunny|big]] [[Daffy Duck|three]] [[Porky Pig|stars]] of [[Looney Tunes]]. One version of the classic series ''[[The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Show|The Bugs Bunny Show]]'' even gave Tweety Bird top billing along with Bugs in "The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show". They were even popular enough to get their own TV [[Spin
Nowadays, the characters aren't quite as active, but are still a central part of the Looney Tunes cast, currently making appearances in [[The Looney Tunes Show]].
Line 81:
* Snow Business
* A Mouse Divided: First appearance of Friz Freleng's drunken stork character (there ''was'' a drunk stork character in Bob Clampett's ''Baby Bottleneck'', but he was a [[One
* Fowl Weather
* Tom Tom Tomcat: Hardly seen on American television due to the Native American stereotyping
Line 244:
* [[Breakout Character]]: Both Granny and the bulldog character (later coined as Hector) made occasional appearances in initial shorts, and gradually became as much mainstream as the main duo. They are near equally prominant in ''[[Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries]]''.
* [[The Cameo]]: Tweety cameos twice in [[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]].
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Granny is seemlingly harmless, but is much smarter and stronger than she looks.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Tweety became less active in later shorts, the main bulk of which revolved more around a bodyguard or alternate adversary guarding him from Sylvester (usually Granny or Hector).
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Tweety in his earliest appearances was a sadistic trickster who actively fought back against his aggressors. Once Freleng took over direction of the character, Tweety became a genuinely innocent, very passive character.
Line 259:
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: Given Tweety's falsetto voice, many are the people who ''still'' don't know he's a boy. Despite that he's been seen swooning over women.
** It doesn't help in almost every foreign-language dubbed version, Tweety is voiced by women who sometimes don't bother to make him sound ''remotely'' male.
** Thanks to Tweety's notorious history of this, ''[[The Looney Tunes Show]]'' decided to make a gag out of giving him an [[Ambiguous Gender]]. ''Sylvester'' doesn't even know what gender Tweety is until he's [[Gender Reveal|told in a whisper]], at which point he exclaims, "[[The Un
** In an episode of ''[[The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries]]'' Tweety flies into a bird house restroom labeled, "Men". Tweety sticks his head out briefly to explain, "See, folks! I ''am'' a boy!"
* [[Satan]]: A bulldog version of him appears in "Satan's Waitin".
