Added DiffLines:
* ValentinesDayEpisode: "Don't Look Now" (Avery, 1936).
* VerbalTic: Fog- ah say, Foghorn Leghorn. Leghorn, that is.
** Also Bugs Bunny's habit of calling everyone either "Doc" or "Mac"
* VictoryByEndurance: In "Gorilla My Dreams", Bugs Bunny is being chased by a gorilla. Just when things seem hopeless for Bugs, he finds that by the time the gorilla has caught him he was too tired to beat him up and falls over exhausted.
* VillainProtagonist: Bugs in the early shorts. He was a completely unsympathetic character that would pick on people for the heck of it. He became more good natured later on, though due to the [[HarmlessVillain harmlessness of most of his foils]], he was still a master of DisproportionateRetribution.
** WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck is the resident villain protagonist of the Looney Tunes, as he is usually [[SpotlightStealingSquad the focus of the shorts he's in]], and post {{Flanderization}}, he is a frequent antagonist.
* VillainousBreakdown: Daffy suffers one in "Duck! Rabbit, Duck!" after being shot by Elmer one too many times.
-->'''Daffy:''' (raving) Shoot me again! I enjoy it! I love the smell of burnt feathers! And gunpowder! And cordite! I'm an elk -- shoot me! Go on, it's elk season! I'm a fiddler crab -- why don'tcha shoot me?! It's fiddler crab season!
** Elmer breaks down in this way in ''WesternAnimation/WhatsOperaDoc'' after being duped by Bugs disguised as Brunhilde. He then unleashes [[DisproportionateRetribution his fury and the elements on Bugs]]:
--->'''Elmer:''' I'LL KILL THE WABBIT!! AWISE, STORM! NORTH WINDS, BWOW! SOUTH WINDS, BWOW! TYPHOONS! HUWWICANES! EARTHQUAKES! [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking '''SMOG!!!''']]
* VisualPun: A staple. Usually in the form of a character turning into a lollipop with the word "Sucker" emblazoned across it, a donkey with the word "Jackass" on it, or a heel with the words "First Class Heel" on it (in those days, a "heel" is what we would call these days a "jerk," "bastard," "asshole," or "douchebag").
* VomitDiscretionShot: Despite being seasick many times in "Tweety's S.O.S.", we never actually see Sylvester vomit.
* VocalEvolution: There are many examples, but the one that stands out the most is how Mel Blanc portrays Bugs from proto-Bugs Bunny to the voice we all know and love.
** Marvin the Martian's first voice in "Haredevil Hare" is higher pitched. Mel Blanc deepened it in the next cartoon, "The Hasty Hare", and kept it that way for the remaining cartoons.
* WartimeCartoon: Actually helped to set the zany, fast-paced tone of the rest of the series. Well known examples are ''WesternAnimation/TheDucktators'', ''WesternAnimation/AnyBondsToday'', ''WesternAnimation/TokioJokio'', ''WesternAnimation/RussianRhapsody'', ''WesternAnimation/BugsBunnyNipsTheNips'', ''WesternAnimation/HerrMeetsHare'', ''WesternAnimation/PlaneDaffy'' and ''WesternAnimation/DaffyTheCommando''.
* WatchOutForThatTree: In ''WesternAnimation/RobinHoodDaffy'', to prove that he is Robin Hood, Daffy tries to rob a passersby of his gold by swinging at him from a tree, only to crash into another tree. This also becomes an OverlyLongGag, as the duck keeps crashing into tree after tree, effectively alternating between hilarious and painful to watch.
-->YOINKS... AND AWAAAY! ''(wham!)''
* WeaponJr: In "The Old Gray Hare", there's a flashback where Baby Elmer has a pop-gun which he fires at Baby Bugs. The episode also begins with an elderly Elmer obtaining a RayGun.
* WeirdCrossover: Even before Creator/WarnerBros. absorbed Creator/DCComics, DC had the license to print Looney Tunes comics. In 2000, DC launched the four-issue series ''Superman and Bugs Bunny'' wherein the wacky Dodo bird (from ''Porky in Wackyland'') meets Mr. Mxyzptlk, and they form a partnership to wreak havoc on both universes.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Inverted. It's usually Sylvester trying to gain the approval of his son, Sylvester Jr.
* WetCementGag:
** One short had Hippety Hopper jumping into wet cement, to the anger of the worker paving the sidewalk.
** On the WesternAnimation/BugsBunny cartoon "Homeless Hare", a construction foreman falls into wet cement, completely submerged except for his cigar. The worker smoothing down the cement doesn't notice when he falls, and simply keeps smoothing, plucking out the cigar to smoke it.
** One Creator/ChuckJones cartoon involving ''WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner'' has the coyote smooth a large square of fresh concrete across a roadway, aiming to bog down the bird in the stuff. Instead, it's [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] when the Road Runner's insane speed parts the concrete down the middle, splashing the nearby coyote with the stuff. The [[ButtMonkey poor coyote]] takes about six steps away in defeat when the concrete hardens around him, turning him into a LivingStatue.
* WeSellEverything: Considering the company ACME stands for A Company that Makes Everything, and their label is on many of the things used by the characters, it's a case of this trope.
** The Acme Company is seen for the first time: in live-action form, curiously enough in ''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction''. Since the head of the company is evil in this movie, Bugs and Daffy get everything they need from a conveniently placed Walmart instead.
* {{Whammy}}: Every time the cat in Robert [=McKimson=]'s ''Early To Bet'' loses to the bulldog at gin rummy, he has to spin a "penalty wheel" and suffer whatever physical punishment it lands on (from a cabinet file corresponding to the wheel number).
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Or in this case, the monkey. In the Sylvester and Tweety cartoon, "Canary Row," Sylvester lures an organ grinder's monkey away with a banana before clubbing him in the head off-screen and stealing his clothes. You'd think there should be a scene where after Sylvester's latest attempt at catching Tweety fails, [[BrickJoke the organ grinder and the still-injured monkey return to exact their revenge on Sylvester]]. That never happened.
* WholeEpisodeFlashback: "Wild Wife", which concerns a frazzled housewife describing her hectic day to her skeptical husband.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Bugs
* WickedWitch: Witch Hazel
* WingedSoulFliesOffAtDeath: A frequently conclusion.
* TheWorstSeatInTheHouse: "Porky's Baseball Broadcast"
** Tex Avery's "Screwball Football" has a doozy. The gunshot everyone thinks means the end of the game turns out to be from a toddler who guns down the man next to him who has been sneaking licks of his ice cream cone.
* XylophoneGag: And they ''always'' fall for it.
** And the song is always "Those Endearing Young Charms."
* YourTomcatIsPregnant: Daffy, a male duck, somehow manages to actually lay a golden egg in ''Golden Yeggs''!
