History WesternAnimation / LooneyTunes

* PickOnSomeoneYourOwnSpecies: The "Rabbit Season/Duck Season" cartoons (and some of the Bugs/Elmer cartoons that are basically a remake of "A Wild Hare") invariably contain variants on this.

* MimeAndMusicOnlyCartoon: Many of their cartoons are dialogue free. Some examples:

** Cat Feud
** Curious Puppy, Dog Gone Modern, Snow Time For Comedy, Stage Fright (all starring two dogs)
** Double Chaser
** Good Night Elmer
** High Note
** Holiday For Shoestrings
** Much Ado About Nutting
** Peck Up Your Troubles
** The Bird Came C.O.D.
** Baton Bunny
** Rhapsody in Rivets
** Rabbit Stew And Rabbits, Too

* MoodyMount: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBhlQgvHmQ0 Yosemite Sam's camel]] and his dragon in the medieval episode.

"Looney Tunes", the generic term by which all Warners animation is now known and sold, is a brand name more than anything nowadays, but is most heavily associated with the "classic" theatrical shorts and only [[FanonDiscontinuity begrudgingly]] to what's been done to the characters since, e.g. [[SpaceJam this]], [[LooneyTunesBackInAction this]], [[BabyLooneyTunes this]], and most emphatically [[LoonaticsUnleashed this]]. [[DuckDodgers This one's okay though.]] [[{{Taz-Mania}} As is this.]] The Tunes have been the mascots of the Six Flags theme parks for years.

* {{Prehistoria}}: Most notably ''Caveman Inki'' and especially ''Wild Wild World''

Warners ceased production of the classic series in 1964 and outsourced new cartoons to other entities in something of a DorkAge until 1969; a Revival of new production of the classic cartoons occurred during the 90s. Moving to television in 1960 with the original incarnation of the [[TheBugsBunnyRoadRunnerShow The Bugs Bunny Show]], the Warners' shorts took a level in ubiquity. Various repackagings became staples of the American [[SaturdayMorningCartoon Saturday morning]] schedule for the next forty years, reintroducing themselves through the generations, until they had permanently entered the collective consciousness.

** WHICH Schultz? The one from "Daffy the Commando" or the one who has a suspicious resemblance to Yosemite Sam from "Big House Bunny"? Note that both of those shorts were directed by FrizFreleng.

* HoYay: Bugs and Elmer, to occasionally worrying levels.
** But perhaps even more overt with the "Goofy Gophers".

* MimicryOfSoundEffects: Bugs does this at least twice: in "High-Diving Hare", where he tricks Yosemite Sam into thinking that he did the high-dive, and in "Baby Buggy Bunny", where he mimics the sound of a light switch, prompting Baby-Face Finster to hit him on the head with a baseball bat.

** And let's not forget the SpinoffBabies series: ''BabyLooneyTunes''. [[spoiler:([[YourMileageMayVary Maybe]], some would not want to remember it ''at all''.)]]

* MisterMuffykins: Petunia's dog in "Porky's Romance". The mean-spirited little beasty annoys Porky so much that [[spoiler:he ends the short with a literal KicktheDog moment]].

*** The epithet "jackass" has been used on W-B cartoons before. In 1946's ''By Word Of Mouse,'' Babbitt tells Catstello (both as mice) that if his plan to get the cheese doesn't work, "I'll...I'll be a jackass!" It doesn't, and Catstello hammers it in ("Jackass! Jackass!! Yer a jackass!! Hee-haw!"). 1950's ''Mississippi Hare'' has Col. Cornpone asking Bugs "If'n I had four legs and went 'hee-haw,' what would I be?" Bugs: "Why, you'd be a jackass." (Resulting in one of Bugs' perfectly timed duels.)

** Pretty much the entire dream sequence of Elmer Fudd's after Bugs Bunny invades it in the BobClampett short "The Big Snooze" (Clampett's very last short for Warner Bros., by the way).

* InSpace
* InspectorZenigata: The Sheriff in the "Bunny and Claude" cartoons.

* [[EverythingsBetterWithBunnies Evewything's Better With Wabbits]]

** [[{{Narm}} "A runabout! I'll steal it! No one will ever know!"]]

* {{Crossover}}: Sylvester, Elmer Fudd, Mama Bear, Henery Hawk and Porky Pig all appear in Daffy's ''The Scarlet Pumpernickel.'' Daffy appears in Foghorn Leghorn's ''The High And The Flighty.''

* MulliganTheHeadsman: Doctor Quack in ''The Daffy Doc''

* CatchThatPigeon: Well, Roadrunner, canary, rabbit, duck, white-striped black female cat...
