History WesternAnimation / PepeLePew

* DubSpeciesChange: Brazilian dubs change Pepé into an opossum.

* AdaptedOut: The only major Looney Tunes character who does not appear in ''Film/SpaceJamANewLegacy'' (though he does appear in a deleted scene that was partly shot). He does also not appear in "WesternAnimation/TinyToonsLooniversity" and "WesternAnimation/BugsBunnyBuilders" following the character's official retirement by Warner Bros. in 2021.

Pepé Le Pew is one of the more famous WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes characters, although he's not quite as big as some of the other "core" cast members of the series. He first appeared in the [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation 1945]] short ''WesternAnimation/OdorAbleKitty'', although it wasn't until the 1949 short ''WesternAnimation/ForScentimentalReasons'' that the standard formula for his skits were set in stone.

* SpiritualSuccessor: On ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', there's Fifi La Fume, who acts just like Pepé (except that she likes it when men go after her), right down to mistaking black and white striped animals for male skunks (though it was revealed that she has a crush on Pepé Le Pew on an episode where Elmyra mistakes Fifi for a cat). However, she is much different than Pepé in other aspects, most notably that she interacts with the other Tiny Toons much more often (while Pepé rarely interacted with any of the other Looney Tunes in the Golden Age shorts. Modern revivals either don't have Pepé at all or do have him interacting with the other characters), is a lot more fleshed out character-wise, doesn't chase people nearly as often as Pepe did, and actually uses her stink as a weapon (although later on Pepé himself would sometimes use this trait in a way, such as in ''Film/SpaceJam'').

* AnythingThatMoves: So long as it's black and white striped (and even when it's not), such is the case in a lot of the modern revival Looney Tunes media, such as the DC Comics and ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'' (in which Pepé goes after human women). ''Past Perfumance'' (from 1956) is probably the only Golden Age Pepé cartoon that showed that [[spoiler:he will still go after a cat, even after learning that she was never a skunk to start with]]. And in ''Scent-imental Over You'', for no real reason, he actually is willing to disguise himself as a ''dog'' to return a Chihuahua's affections. "I am stupid, no?"

* DepravedBisexual: At best, Pepé fits this trope (at worst, he's a StalkerWithACrush who goes after AnythingThatMoves as long as it's black and white striped. The D.C. Comics have him as either/or, depending on writer). In 1951's ''Scent-imental Romeo'' had Pepé make out with a human man inside a Tunnel of Love ride. The man is so traumatized that he signs up for the French Foreign Legion and passes out. ItMakesSenseInContext... sort of.
