History WesternAnimation / ElmerFudd

* AdaptationalBadass: The ''[=Elmer Fudd/Batman=]'' crossover has Elmer going toe-to-toe with Gotham's protector himself, but rather than a pathetic, slow-witted schlub, he's an accomplished hunter and a former professional killer who handles a mean shotgun. As such, during their brief encounter, he puts up more of a fight than most of the goons Batman runs into.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: This is pretty much Elmer Fudd's reaction whenever he thinks he's finally killed Bugs. No matter how hard he's been trying throughout the episode to shoot Bugs he always breaks down in tears when he thinks he's finally done it, calling himself a murderer, which calls into question why he's a hunter in the first place.

* Crow's Feat

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After the death of Arthur Q. Bryan in 1959, a replacement wasn't readily available (Creator/HalSmith sounded too different and Creator/MelBlanc wasn't comfortable with doing the voice). As a result, Elmer's appearances only got three more appearances until he was completely phased out in 1962 after ''Crow's Feat'', [[ActorExistenceLimbo where he has no lines]].

* TeamRocketWins: [[spoiler:He was able to get his revenge on "that wascawy wabbit" in ''WesternAnimation/RabbitRampage'' and ''WesternAnimation/HareBrush''. And then there's ''What's Opera, Doc?'', wherein he [[OnlyMostlyDead seemingly]] ''kills'' Bugs. He also outwitted Bugs in one of their Tang commercials.]] Besides all that, he tended to have a better success rate when his opponent was someone other than Bugs. His win/lose ratio against Daffy was pretty even, and in "Crow's Feat" he is more than a match for two nuisance crows. He also makes a meal out of a murderous rooster (albeit accidentally) in "Each Dawn I Crow".

* TheVoiceless: He doesn't speak in "Good Night Elmer", "Crow's Feat" and "WebAnimation/ToonMarooned".

* WesternAnimation/ACornyConcerto

* ObfuscatingStupidity: In ''What's My Lion?'', a Lion hides in Elmer's lodge during the hunting season, putting his head through the wall to pretend to be a trophy. Throughout the short, Elmer gets injuring it on the grounds that it's already dead and stuffed, but at the end, [[spoiler: after Elmer gets [[NewhartPhonecall a phone call and reveals that hunting season is over]], the lion - along with all other animals that had posed as animal heads as well - leaves the lodge, only for Elmer to reveal that he knew all along and set a new record, with it taking only three hours to get all those animals out of there.]]

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After the death of Arthur Q. Bryan in 1959, a replacement wasn't readily available (Creator/HalSmith sounded too different and Creator/MelBlanc wasn't comfortable with doing the voice).

* Manchild: He would throw fits up until WesternAnimation/TheStupidCupid .

* GooGooGetup: In "WesternAnimation/TheStupidCupid" Elmer is clad in nothing but a diaper.

* CardCarryingVillain: In Film/LooneyTunesBackinAction, he admits that he's secretly evil.

* CatchPhrase: "Shhh- be vewy vewy quiet. I'm hunting wabbits."

* SnobbyHobbies: "Hare Brush" establishes that Elmer Fudd is a millionaire who owns a mansion and a yacht. He also enjoys hunting, as he's commonly seen trying to shoot Bugs Bunny and/or Daffy Duck.
