• Alternate Character Interpretation: Some see Daffy as a Villain Protagonist, others see him as a Jerkass Woobie.
• Anti-Sue: Daffy Duck in the second half of season 1.
• Awesome Music: The intro theme. An upbeat, jazzy remake of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down"? Yes please.
  • Also, "El Queso Bandito". Catchy and cements Speedy Gonzales as a fleet-footed Badass.
  • We are in Love.
  • Heck, every Merrie Melodie thus far can count for this!
  • Daffy Duck the Wizard.
    • It's also a Moment of Awesome, what with the epic animation.
  • President's Day, which is like a mix of Animaniacs and MAD.
  • Pizzaribba!
  • Casting my vote for Grilled Cheese
• Badass: Speedy Gonzales. "El Queso Bandito" paints him as a fleet-footed Robin Hood since birth, and "Devil Dog" shows him taming the Nightmare Fuel laced Tazmanian Devil without batting an eyelash.
• Base Breaker: "Casa de Calma." Some fans liked it for how it harkens back to classic Looney Tunes formulas, but at the same time, it was hated by other fans for that reason as well.
• Broken Base: Lola Bunny has been a Base Breaker since she was introduced in Space Jam. Her incarnation here is seen by her original detractors as being a great improvement, while others who grew up with and liked her from her introduction fifteen years ago generally see her original self as superior.
  • This whole show is one between those who hate it because it is nowhere near as good as the original shorts or Tiny Toon Adventures, and those that love it for the different direction it is taking from the older cartoons.
• Cargo Ship: Apparently between Elmer Fudd and grilled cheese.
• Crazy Awesome: Daffy the Wizard, and you know it!
  • Lola can sometimes be this.
• Creator's Pet: Arguably Daffy. He gets the most screentime out of any character, yet is loathed by a good portion of the fanbase.
• Critic Proof: Despite being torn apart ^{[dead link]} by critics, the show has gained generally positive fan reaction and is very popular on Cartoon Network.
• Dude, Not Funny: The way Daffy treats Porky. The writers were probably going for a Cartman/Butters dynamic, but failed horribly.
  • The fact that Porky's lonliness and depression is usually Played for Laughs.
  • Some of the jokes about Daffy being mentally ill can cross the line.
• Ear Worm: Marvin's song I'm a Martian.

Marvin: My name's Marvin, I'm a martian, la la la la le la la le le lu!

• • Chickenhawk.
  • Table For One, big time.
  • We Are In Love.
  • Be Polite!
  • and Ohhhhhhhhhhh, I BLEW MY STACK!!!
  • You look at me, you're looking at the cock of the walk.
  • Behold the Wizard and his unspeakable power!
• Ensemble Darkhorse: Pepe Le Pew.
  • Marvin the Martian as always.
  • Tina Russo.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Daffy makes a big deal about Porky stealing his fries. Doesn't that remind you of a certain other Cartoon Network show?
• Ho Yay: You could easily say the premise is that Bugs and Daffy are married, and nothing would change at all. It doesn't help that in the first episode they're on an Expy of The Newlywed Game. And of course their opponents, the Goofy Gophers, have long been an embodiment of Ambiguously Gay.
  • After 'Double Date,' we should just make a separate page for this. Here's the short and long of it: Daffy wings an romantic evening for two, so who is the first person he asks? Bugs. If that wasn't enough, when Bugs clarifies that a 'romantic evening' means a date, Daffy turns and asks Porky to a date. The kicker is when Porky accepts. And waits outside his house. With flowers. Even the SONG from that episode, 'Be Polite,' had gratuitous amounts of Ho Yay, but that's to be expected when you're dealing with Mac and Tosh.
    • With respect to the two latter, the song "You like/I like" takes things even further.
• Jerkass Woobie: Daffy, in earlier episodes. The writers weren't sure if we should hate him or pity him.
• Memetic Badass: Foghorn in the "Cock Of The Walk" song
  • Daffy "The Wizard" Duck in "The Wizard" song
• Memetic Mutation: I took a gander at the millage page, saw that Double M was missing so I built up my rage and Ohhhhhhhhhhh, I BLEW MY STACK!!!
  • Memetic Badass: The Wizard is undeterred!
• Moral Event Horizon: Daffy may not be a villain, but he crossed the line when he tricked Porky into giving him all his life savings, leaving him broke.
• Paranoia Fuel: We Are In Love.
• Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Lola has been better received in this show because she actually has a something of a Looney Tunes-appropriate personality now, rather than the Ms. Fanservice Tomboy she was before. Now she is the huge opposite, which happens to be a modestly dressed Motor Mouth and Valley Girl who owns a Hammerspace Purse that throws Bugs for a loop.
• Relationship Writing Fumble: Oh COME ON! Is Bugs going out with Lola? Or are he and Daffy in a rocky marriage?
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Online fans of the classic shorts and 90's revivals were skeptical about this update. Then they saw the leaked images, and they were not pleased. This also happened months before the show premiered. Cartoon Brew is a classic case--it covered the show in several blog posts, each receiving 200-plus replies!
  • The news that Joe Alaskey wouldn't be returning to voice Bugs Bunny (or indeed, anyone) got this reaction. It would probably have been a lot worse if not for the fact that they brought back Alaskey's predecessor, Jeff Bergman to pick up the role -- although Alaskey is near-unanimously regarded as the better voice artist, Bergman still has plenty of fans.
• The Scrappy: Daffy, for his Too Dumb to Live moments and It's All About Me persona and being a Straw Loser. The writers pretty much go out of their way to make him unlikable.
  • He also seems to be a carciature of people with mental problems, something many viewers find to be Dude, Not Funny.
    • Made even worse because in earlier episodes he was actually funny, (kinda) sympathetic, and was implied to be going through some major Character Development ("That's My Baby" and "Beauty School" were huge Pet the Dog moments). Then came "The Float" and all hope was lost. But he's gotten better in season 2.
  • Lola's starting to become this to some who think her blatant stupidity and stalker tendencies are less endearing now. And she, like Daffy, caused Porky to fail his Driver's Test twice.
  • Bugs is this to a few viewers, for having a vastly different persona than what we're used to, and the fact that most other characters are Straw Losers to him.
• Seasonal Rot: The 2nd half of the first season isn't considered as good as the 1st.
• Unfortunate Implications: Pepe le Pew... he's been married seven times, and after episode two, possibly eight. This might also be a slight Mythology Gag for Pepe's first cartoon, "Odor-Able Kitty," in which it was revealed that Pepe was really named Henry, didn't have a French accent, and was married with two kids.
• Take That, Scrappy!: Lola's treatment in-show is possibly this, as her original debut was reviled by many fans.
  • Porky beating up Daffy in "The Float". Admit it, he had it coming.
• Tough Act to Follow: The show producers intentionally lead this series in a different direction from the original shorts in an attempt to avert being compared to them, similar to how James Cameron shifted the Alien series from horror to action with the second film--this was because the producers had accepted that it was impossible to live up to the original cartoons. Some fans were pleased with this decision, some were not.
• Uncanny Valley: Daffy's "beak job". Brr...
• The Woobie: Bugs Bunny has pretty much become this in the show, being stuck as the Only Sane Man.
  • You will feel bad for Porky Pig. He might be the biggest woobie in Looney Tunes history.
