The Junkyard Run is a 2001 trilogy of webtoons from Looney Tunes that features Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester Cat, Yosemite Sam and the Tasmanian Devil as they race as a part of the Burbank To Vegas Desert Rally to win the coveted golden anvil.


Contains examples of:

  • Brick Joke: Early into the second episode, Elmer Fudd is seen standing at the roadside, before the force of the passing vehicles drag his clothes away. Later in the episode, he shows up as a traffic officer, pulling Sam and Taz over for speeding.
  • Continuity Cameo: Tweety Bird appears in the third episode.
  • Disguised in Drag: Sam and Taz use this routine when Elmer pulls them over.
  • Eat the Bomb: Yosemite Sam licks an explosive popsicle.
  • Elvis Impersonator: Sylvester and Porky meet one at a Las Vegas chapel.
    Elvis Impersonator: By the power vested in me, I pronounce ya... hitched!
  • Fridge Logic: An In-Universe example. "If we are up here, I wonder who won the race down there."
  • Multiple Endings: The second cartoon had two endings.
    • In a Shout-Out to Thelma & Louise, Porky tells Sylvester that he ate the last can of sardines as they fell into the pit.
    • Porky and Sylvester change their car into a helicopter, leaving Bugs and Daffy behind.
      • The Reality Check DVD chose to use both endings, playing one after another with a transition to make it seem like both events happened.
  • No-Sell: As the flames from the helicopter spewed to Bugs, he is unharmed because he has flame retardant fur.
    Bugs: Good thing we professional drivers have flame-retardant fur.
    Daffy: (pans to a charred and mostly featherless Daffy) Now he tells me!
  • Plot-Sensitive Button: In the second part, Sam presses a button on his wheel that changes between red and green, despite being the same button in the animation. He uses it to both dump a bunch of ice into the road to slip Sylvester and Porky up, and later activate his car's rocket propulsion.
  • Say My Name: Sam yells Taz' name as Taz is getting distracted looking at Daffy.
  • The Speechless: Sylvester and the aliens are the only characters who don't speak.
  • Three-Act Structure: The series consists of three webtoons.
  • Twist Ending: After gaining a huge lead against the other racers, both Bugs and Daffy get sent to a UFO, where two aliens poorly disguised as them win the trophy at Vegas.
