Bugs Bunny sucks.
Of course you know, this means war.
Actually, the line is “You do realize, of course, this means war”.
He used the line more than once–he may have said “Of course….”
Actually, it’s either, “of course you know…..” or “of course you realize…..” he’s said it quite a few times.
BUGS FTW!!!!
PWNED!
He said it both ways. He said it often. He always won. And so…..having RE re disposed of da monster……..
AH, my favorite one! “Don’t go up there, it’s dark!”
“My,I’ll bet you monsters lead such INteresting lives….now let’s dip our patties in the water!”
Maybe no fart jokes, but plenty of transvestite fun.
and all the racist jokes you could ever want.
Do any of you giwls have this pwobwem??
I always loved all of the subtle smoking and drinking references. Carrots in a cigarette case? Kids will never notice!
Any cartoon character comes close to having anything like that today, and you know some douchebag idiot will complain.
Of course this is also why many of these cartoons are not allowed on TV any more. When’s the last time you saw Speedy Gonzales zipping around?
Never since he was replaced by his Americanized counterpart, Rapid Dave.
FamGuy ftw
I hear Speedy is still huge in Mexico – but we can’t see those cartoons in PC USA
Or, indeed, in the UK.
its not big here in mexico
Back then, when Bugs Bunny was first invented, EVERYBODY’S parents, aunts, grandparents, etc., smoked and drank. It was the 40s and 50s for crying out loud! Just watch the movies from back then. And anyway, we kids didn’t care about those references. We just thought it was funny and didn’t read anything into it.
And yet they allow trash like Spounge Bob and Flapjack (or whatever the hell it is) on TV….Thanks to netflix and other media my kids will know the joy of Looney Tunes (among others) and not some make-your-kids stupid, gross, nonsense, sorry excuse for cartoons ,shows! Hard to believe what they deem(deam?) Okay and what is not Okay. =/
And violence!
yeah? so?
A lot lest violence than Grand theft auto…
LESS (I have no idea where the ‘t’ came from)_
You had a little Shakespearean slip …
You wanna talk about violence? Have you wacthed half the so-called cartoons they have today??
At least Bugs Bunny was mostly prat-falls and things you could tell were fake.
Although I do think he is the reason PETA was formed…..
Well, it was just a different kind of slapstick. Things blowing up in people’s faces. Sledgehammers to the head. That sort of stuff.
Sounds like today’s pro wrestling.
You young whippersnappers! Go watch “What’s Opera Doc?” on You Tube, and learn what real comedy is all about.
And get off my lawn!
Whats Opera Doc!!! Absolutely classic!!!
Be vewy quiet, I’m hunting wabbits. . .!
Yeeeaaahhhhhh??
Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit!
I killed da waaaabbiiiiittt… *sniff*
“Wif my speah an’ magic howmet!”
(Man, transcribing Fudd seems dangerously close to LOLspeak)
“Yes, magic howmet, an I’ll give you a sawmple!”
Remember June Bugs, when Cartoon Network would have that Bugs Bunny marathon in June?
What’s with all the soapbox-type “lols” lately? I’m a bit tired of the preaching.
agreed…
Also agreed. It seems rare to see one that is just funny, like the “How to Lift Heavy Boxes Properly” lol yesterday.
Yeah, oh for the times when things were funny around here.
Damn straight. I come here for comedy, not to learn life lessons. Sheesh.
Well, here’s your life lesson for today:
-
There is no difference between comedy and a good life lesson. If it weren’t for the lesson, it wouldn’t be funny.
-
Stick that in your dynamite-laden pipe (provided by Acme, Inc.) and smoke it!
It comes across as “if I personally don’t like it, it’s garbage”. So arrogant.
And by that I’m agreeing with you.
i will agree, blowing off a guys head with a cartoon gun at point blank range = much funnier then fart jokes! (I’m being serious by the way)
He was a self-professed Stinker though
Q: What’s invisible and smells like rotten carrots?
A: Bunny farts!
Thing is, bodily function jokes were considered offensive back then, so they’d most likely have used plenty of fart jokes if they’d been allowed.
Racism was okay and transvestism wasn’t taken seriously (not that it didn’t exist, but it was a more innocent time so far fewer people knew of it), which is why Warner Bros. cartoons included both. Absolute silliness was the humor of the day, so it was considered funny for Wile E. Coyote to fall off of a cliff and get back up with a body like an accordion. It wasn’t the violence, it was the unreal silliness that made it funny back in those days. All the hoopla about how violent it was came later from the ultra-sensitive morons who think everyone blindly does everything they see on a screen.
“All the hoopla about how violent it was came later from the ultra-sensitive morons ”
Of course, that’s also where all the hoopla about how racist it was came from, too.
Seriously. The “Bugs vs. Hiawatha” ones were FUNNY. And I say that as a part-Iroquois.
Also, Speedy Gonzalez. Most sterotypes of Mexicans are more along the lines of his cousin, “Slowpoke Rodriguez.” So Speedy was almost a positive role model.
Then there’s that… aborigine guy? Okay, so “Unga bunga bunga inga dings binga BUN-Gaa” wasn’t the best dialogue, seeing someone turn plaid is still funny.
Being an unstoppable and clever badass is a positive role model. GO SPEEDY!!!
I remember Carlos Mencia’s comment about the Taco Bell dog.
“Lassie, that b!tch couldn’t talk! But the little beaner dog could…”
Ah, “Everything was Better Back in the Day Week” continues…
*yawn*
not so disdainful as to keep yer mouth shut though.
People very often express disdain. Perhaps you were thinking of apathetic?
Better than “Everything Women Like is Stupid, Because Men are Smarter and Better”, which seems to be about 50% of this blog.
when did they make bugs bunny in 3D? and why?
Hooray for Bugs Bunny and Wyle Coyote. I cannot stand Jim Carry and his butt/fart jokes.
Yes and no. LOL I like Bugs. *looks around for idiots* *finds none, surprisingly*
He’s (dun dun dun) APPROPRIATE XD
Hear hear to both comments!
which nation would that be then, numbnuts?
Oh yes, because having a main character be a transvenstite with a gun constantly being shoved in his face is much more suitable than fart jokes for children. *eyeroll* Not to mention the assasin-like/murderous personality of Wile E. Coyote. In fact, I want my kids to grow up to be just like him! If they did, they too could learn to just try and kill everyone that pisses them off. Yay to our country! I certainly don’t want my kids to learn that farting can be funny. No, that’ll ruin them for life. And then when they die, they’ll go to hell.
Addendum: In case this was just bad sarcasm, I apology. My tolerance for stupid is way low today and might have mistaken your post for idiocy. Have a nice day.
…
*apologize
Damn typing fail.
It was my attempt at sarcasm, yes.
I obviously didn’t perform up to standards as my post was somehow taken seriously.
You are clearly delusional. No one said anything about which cartoons made the best role models for children. The argument here is just that fart jokes are lame, while the Looney Toons’ jokes were genuinely clever. The writers and animators broke new ground with their exaggerated reactions (turning into an accordion after a fall, their heads flattening under a mallet, their giant eyes and splayed tongue in reaction to pain) and silly ideas (giant sling-shots, bending the barrel of a gun to curve the bullet back to the shooter, dressing in drag to confuse an attacker). It’s getting a laugh out of the unexpected and the absurd, not just bodily functions.
Also, Wile E. Coyote is not someone most children would look up to anyway. He always fails in his attempt to catch his dinner, and that is where the humor comes from. If anything, the karmic message is that violence never works, and only comes back to hurt you in the end. Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd’s feud teaches children to use their own cunning to outwit their adversary, not resorting to violence. Regardless, if your children cannot separate fiction from reality and develop violent tendencies after watching cartoons, I don’t think the problem lies with Bugs Bunny.
I was actually attempting humor and sarcasm in post, I didn’t expect to actually be taken literally. x_x
Don’t worry, I took it as a joke.
Of course, I also still have that glimmer of hope that people aren’t actually that stupid.
How did people not get you were being sarcastic?
I didn’t get that it was sarcastic at all, but that’s only because there are enough real idiots out on this here Intarwebz that it’s hard to tell a good fake from the real thing.

Fortunately, I’ve learned to read to the bottom of the quoted thread before posting.
lame
Ain’t I a stinker?
Win!
being 24 i’m probably leaning more into the fart joke era. however, i do remember cartoons/movies/books that didn’t rely on fart jokes. while i find fart jokes funny, i can still appreciate more…intelligent humor from other cartoons. (i’m speaking in general, not just about loony tunes, so i’m not saying violence/racism is intelligent.)
Really? I’m 20 and I grew up with Looney Tunes and MGM cartoons. It was on all the time on Saturday mornings.
Same here, and I’m 14.
back in my day, remember when, etc.
HAHA geez, you guys are totally looking way too far into this
I was just saying I like looney tunes more than the dumb new cartoons nickelodeon and cartoon network are pumping out lately.
It’s so hilarious how you people get so worked up over little captions.
(btw, I’m 17 sooo, even I liked things better ‘back in the day’ and I wasn’t even there XD )
AMEN!
Also, Ted Turner should do time in JAIL for editing the original Looney Tunes Cartoons! Oh the Horror!!!
Nothin’ wrong with fart jokes. But the Warner Brothers cartoons were brilliant (before the 1960s).
And they had their share of off-color humor. It was more or less subtle, ’cause they had to elude the censors. I heard Bob Clampett’s widow speak one time (he worked for WB in the early early days), and she said they used to throw in gags that they KNEW wouldn’t get past the censors, in the hopes that slightly less rude gags in the same cartoon would seem tame by comparison. Once or twice the sacrifice gags got through, as well!
Those were brilliant cartoons. Little masterpieces.
That stuff goes on even today.
The guys that make South Park constantly do that, throw some of the worst stuff at Comedy Central, knowing that they will reject it, so something a little less tame, but still quite bad can be put right in front of them, and passed on through, since “it wasnt as bad as what they presented us the last time”
24 frames per second = win. (Warner and MGM in the day)
10 FPS = fail. (Hanna-Barbera etc…)
That being said, Cartoon Network has turned out some screamingly funny stuff. They have learned to work within the whole TV limited animation standard and make it work for them, actually make it part of the joke. Space Ghost, Aqua Teen, Sealab etc…..wonderful stuff. And let’s not forget The Brak Show…heh.
“…and all in favor of the name ‘Ephraim the Retarded Rabbit’?”
Yay, I Family Guy watcher!
*a Family Guy watcher
I’m obviously not on the ball today. o_O
Lovelovelove Looney Tunes, but I laugh at fart jokes, too. I blame my dad. XD Anyway, Looney Tunes is the ultimate win. Grew up on it, still my favorite.
Hey, now, let’s have some love for Freakazoid and Pinky & the Brain here… and Earthworm Jim. Any series that could sustain a running haggis joke is worth watching.
freakazoid sucks. your opinion is wrong.
No fart jokes, but plenty of blatant racist remarks and costumes. I think I prefer potty humor.
Grow a skin?
Anyone who can be butthurt from a cartoon needs some help.
The problem I see is more and more, modern cartoons (and shows/channels in general) are playing towards the lowest common denominator. You can still have a fart joke with some wit behind it, but most people today don’t seem to get that wit/cleverness is part of humor. It’s like they’re trying to be subtle with a 20 lb. sledgehammer.
no fart jokes, but plenty of racist ones.
All funny, of course.
Well whatever anyone says Looney Tunes will always be some of the best cartoons out there. Joke-wise and animation-wise. I mean, Chuck Jones?! Amazing! And we can’t forget Mel Blanc, either. He voiced practically all the Looney Tunes characters. There really were a lot of trailblazing people working for the animation/entertainment industry back in the day. There’s a lot for newbies coming into the field to live up to (like me).
There might not have been fart jokes…but there was A WHOLE LOT of cross-dressing….and kisding while cross-dressed
You all mention cross-dressing and race jokes as if they aren’t funny…
-
…except that they are.
-
-
-
-
and so are fart jokes.
Of course, most of the best jokes in the Looney Tunes cartoons were more subtle and sophisticated, like the choice of music. “Over the Waves” when Sylvester is balancing on the streetcar power lines, “The Marriage of Figaro” on any number of occasions, etc. How many of us recognize all kinds of classical music simply because we watched Bugs Bunny? Not to mention the pseudo-history. Remember Bugs sailing to America with Christopher Columbus? Or fighting against Sam von Schmamme the Hessian in the Revolutionary War?
And Spongebob Squarepants.
-
As for the Coyote, what *I* learned from him was that one should never give up, one should treat explosives with great respect, and that safety precautions were important. You think the Coyote was violent? He never blew anyone up but *himself*! That’s exactly what they teach in gun safety courses. “Respect this or *you* get hurt.”
-
And most of the time, regardless of the means, it’s the “bad guys” in those cartoons who take all the flak, at least in the early ones. Once the rivalries were established, the writers were free to make Tweety and the Road Runner a little more antagonistic, and Elmer and Bugs switched roles. I have an early cartoon where Bugs is clearly a jerk, more to the tune of Woody Woodpecker (and even has that staccato chortle).
-
In the end, I think the final determination that makes me give a cartoon a Thumbs Up or Down depends upon a single thing:
-
Was it fun to watch?
-
Looney Tunes was fun, and still is. Many of the Disney movies are fun. Pixar movies are fun. Dreamworks movies are usually fun. Beverly Hills Cop was fun (first two only, kthx). Family Guy is *usually* fun. South Park is hit or miss for me. Simpsons is nearly always fun, even though it’s just as heavy-handed as South Park is. I think the writing is better. Many toons like Thundercats or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Transformers were fun in the beginning, until the writers ran out of ideas and the voice/animation quality went to hell.
-
Hell, even Beavis and Butt-head was pretty fun for a while. It just got played out. I mean, they’re really a one-joke team, but it was hilarious while it lasted.
-
Well, that’s enough cartoon analysis for tonight. I’ll part with this note: As a former avid cartoon watcher, don’t assume that kids only pick up on the worst of what a show has to offer. I learned a lot of GOOD things from Looney Tunes… by understanding that these were examples of what NOT to do.

My two-year-old LOVES Bugs Bunny.
god, i hate these posts that are so preachy. get a life, stop complaining and move on or do something about it.
Maybe you should take your own advice. Get a life, stop complaining, and move on or do something about it.
No fart jokes, just extreme racism and crossdressing. =D

There’s hardly any racism in Bugs Bunny cartoons. I’m not saying there’s none, but it isn’t common.
blah blah blah…as keish would say
