Do you think Looney Tunes is still funny?

Foghorn Leghorn - "That boy's about as sharp as a bowlin' ball."

Yosemite Sam - "Quiet, Rabbit! I'm a thinkin'... And my head hurts..."

Donald Duck - "Yoiks! And away!" <Bam!>

Hilarious!

:lol:

Definitely. I loved the Looney Tunes when I was a kid, and I still do.

Especially Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner ones :techman:. Bugs and the rest of the gang come in second to those, but are still worth the watch and are priceless.
 
I love those bits in the Coyote/Roadrunner chase scenes where the action suddenly freezes and fake Latin sounding names like Devious Ingenius Coyoteus and Birdius High-ballius appear right below them. :lol:

Me too :lol:. So random and so funny. On a side note, I remember a few episodes where Wile actually talked... in a British accent (iirc). It was different, but I didn't mind it.

Anyone else remember those ones?
 
I remember this one line from Wile who (after getting beaten senseless) wandered around going "How do you do I am a vegetarian my name is Mud...IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE???" :guffaw:

And it was not with a British accent.

It was a rather urbane hoity-toidy accent: "Wile E. Coyote, SOOper GEEnius." Only in a couple of Bugs Cartoons, though, never in a Road Runner cartoon. And he also spoke in the sheepdog cartoons, but with a basic American accent.
 
Oh yes I LOVE Looney Tunes still to this day. To me though it's the classics that really have me laughing my butt off. Classics never seem to die. My favorites are Wile E. Coyote and that silly Roadrunner who the poor Coyote never seems to get. He's always really close..just no cigar. And I love Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny arguing about which season it is. :) And of course there's Sylvester and Tweety Bird.."I tawt I taw a putty tat". :D Hell, my Dad even laughs at Wile E. Coyote so you know it's gotta be funny!
 
I love the golden age of animation, so obviously I love Looney Tunes. I'm a much bigger Popeye fan though

Chuck Jones Looney Tunes is some of the funniest stuff to come out of the 20th Century. The facial expressions just made the cartoons. I think I laugh harder now because I "get it" a lot better as an adult.

I agree. Chuck Jones did some of the best Looney Tunes cartoons ever -- "Duck Rabbit Duck", "Duck Dodgers" (which, BTW, is Mr Garibaldi's second favorite thing, even if Delenn didn't get it...), the Roadrunner and Coyote -- just great stuff.

If you haven't read it, his biography "Chuck Amuck" is very good, too.

Ah, I don't know why I thought it was a British accent... *scratches head*...

I see. Forgot about those. I'll have to try and watch them if they're on Cartoon Network sometime.
 
I still enjoy watching the Looney Tunes, although I tend to avoid watching them on broadcast TV now that I've learned how heavily censored and edited they are. There's been a few times where a Daffy or Bugs cartoon has just stopped with no resolution because someone thought it was too violent or un-PC for today's audiences. It's sort of like that DVD of 1970s-era Saturday morning cartoons WB put out a few weeks ago that has a disclaimer - and I'm not making this up; go to your Wal-Mart and look for "WB Kids Favorites" with Yogi Bear, Hong Kong Phooey and Josie and the Pussycats on the cover and see for yourself - saying the content may not be suitable for children! :rolleyes:

Just watched a batch of Bugses over dinner. It's possible that Buccaneer Bunny is the funniest cartoon ever.
