{{quote|''"Now we're going to watch one of my favorite cartoons about a pathetic Coyote who spends his life in the ''futile'' pursuit of a sadistic roadrunner, who mocks him and laughs at him as he's repeatedly '''crushed''' and '''maimed'''! ''I hope you enjoy it!''"''|'''George Newman''', [["Weird Al" Yankovic (Music)|Weird Al's]] character in ''[[UHF (Film)|UHF]]''}}
An extremely popular series of ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' short subjects made by [[Chuck Jones]] during [[The Golden Age of Animation]], the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner shorts are centered on the titular duo as the smart but obsessive coyote does everything within his power (and uses everything within the ACME catalog) to capture the Road Runner for dinner. Despite the penchant for formula and sporadic entries in the original theatrical lineup, the shorts have remained extremely popular to this day, lasting for 40 shorts in the classic era, with new shorts being created recently for theaters!
Line 188:
* [[Strictly Formula]]: Popular as the shorts are, they're best watched in small doses, as they tend to feel really, really samey if you watch all of them back to back.
* [[Suddenly Voiced]]: At those rare occasions Wile E. ''does'' talk, he speaks in a very refined voice, as well as revealing the fact that he's an [[Insufferable Genius]].
* [[Super

* [[Super Speed]]: The Road Runner.
Line 195:
** There are plenty of [[YouTube]] videos where Wile E. actually does eat the Road Runner.
** He also catches Road Runner in "The Solid Tin Coyote", [[Yank the Dog's Chain|Doesn't work out]]
* [[Technicolor Eyes]]: In the shorts by Matthew O'Callaghan, Wile E.'s are [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]], and the Road Runner's are turquoise.
* [[Those Wily Coyotes]]
* [[Three Dimensional Episode]]: "Coyote Falls", "Fur of Flying", and "Rabid Rider".
