The Looney Tunes Show/Headscratchers

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Since when did Elmer Fudd became disturbingly obsessed over grilled cheese?
    • Since it was funny.
      • Besides -- ten to one it'll never be mentioned again outside that song, at least not on this show.
    • He is a vegetarian after all (he hunts for sport) so his sandwich options are limited
    • Because a hunter has to do something to cure himself from the boredom of living in the suburbs with no forests around.
    • Because he was out of french fries.
    • Because Sex Sells, as does Does This Remind You of Anything?.
  • Not really an issue, but... Pepe has been married seven times by episode two... Penelope and his unnamed first wife back when he was called "Henry" aside, who were the other five? Thoughts on this?
    • Every other female character on the show.
      • Or male.
    • He could have remarried the same wife/ex-wife several times, as well. Fall in lust/love, get married, get bored, start chasing somebody else, get caught, get divorced, realize how much he misses his old flame, resume the chase, get married... rinse and repeat.
      • Hate to admit it... but that sounds like Pepe... though perhaps that's better than him moving on to the next girl... over... and over... and over...
      • This is of course assuming that Pepe ever even met Penelope in this continuity, and given the fact that he has been divorced multiple times even if he did know her their relationship probably didn't last long. Pepe in the original cartoons was portrayed as a Casanova through and through, even when in hot pursuit of Penelope (or some derivative cat) he makes mention of his interest in other girls, so clearly these 7 marriages are the logical extreme that Pepe would go to if he ever actually did get the girl. Hell there was one episode where Pepe was clearly heartbroken over a failed relationship and joined the Legionnaire to get his mind off of it, he obviously goes through many girls.
    • Or they could just be characters we've never seen ... we've never seen Bugs' dentist either, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have one.
  • Is Lezah supposed to be the same character as Witch Hazel or a completely different one?
  • So, was there any given reason for why the show was changed from "Laff Riot" (what the show was originally going to be, the one episode that was made surviving as this shows "Casa De Calma") to this? Cause if Casa De Calma is anything to go by, that would have been the much MUCH better show.
    • Two reasons. 1.) "Laff Riot" was going to have a completely different concept than the "sitcom" premise it has now. It was going to be just bunch of random skits like Animaniacs only with the Looney Tunes, so the different title would also reflect how it would be a different kind of show. 2.) "The Looney Tunes Show" is clear, tells you exactly what it is, and is thus the most marketable.
      • I didn't mean the title change, I meant why was the show changed from the skit based format to what it is now. Its pretty evident why the title changed after they made it a totally different show.
      • Well, they changed the format mainly because the original format just doesn't work today like it did back with the Animaniacs. This way it is going more with what people like today (or what execs assume people like today), without feeling like it's trying to hard to raise the old series from the dead.
  • In the prison episode, why was everyone continually harassing Porky just because he wasn't wearing any pants? He at least wears a shirt, but Daffy and Bugs are stark naked.
  • Porky seems to be on hard times lately, so what's Bugs, Daffy and Speedy's answer? Get a girlfriend! ...they say this in more than a few episodes too! Why do they love that phrase so much? When you take into account that Tina doesn't lessen Daffy's antics, Lola's belligerent behavior unnerves Bugs, and Speedy's hypocrisy, being the one without a girlfriend himself - one would think they'd have better constructive advice, especially when Porky already had two women beforehand.
    • Well, the Speedy example doesn't count since he isn't shown to have any real problems in life. From the episodes I've watched, he's the only one who isn't a complete Jerkass or filled with social problems.
    • Rule of Funny
  • In the episode when Daffy is freaking out over his 'beak bump' and demands that Bugs tell him his flaws, Bugs says he's narcissistic, a sociopath, and possibly a psychopath. One small problem with that, Sociopathy is a form of psychopathy, or at least according to the psychology text book which may possibly be innacurate but I'll assume otherwise, and narcissism is a usual characteristic of sociopathy. So, why did they list all three things, when only sociopathy would be needed, since it would count both in?
    • It's just more insulting that way.
    • I don't think Bugs is a psychology expert.
    • In laymen's terms, "psychopath" carries implications of Ax Crazy. What Bugs was saying is, Daffy's a sociopath...who might possibly snap and kill people, too, he wouldn't be surprised.
  • In the pizzeria episode, why did Bugs lock Marvin alongside the others? Marvin would have done a good job if not for Daffy's meddling.
    • Bugs had no way of knowing that, he wasn't in the back to see that happen.
