Do you think Looney Tunes is still funny?

I just happened to catch a few Looney Tunes shorts on the 'net a few days ago and still found many of them downright hysterical.

I watched the famous Operation: Rabbit when Wile E. makes numerous attempts to capture Bugs, but is foiled every single time - naturally. Then I saw the other where Daffy plays Robin Hood. That whole, "Yoinks and awaaaaay!" got a few good laughs out of me still. :lol:

They certainly don't make cartoons like this anymore!
 
Holy crap, yes. I have all the DVD collections, and even pulled all the Bugs Bunny cartoons off them to burn my own BB collection disks. They have never lost their classic hilarity for me.

I count Bugs, Groucho, and Hawkeye Pierce as my sarcastic, iconoclastic role models.

Poor Daffy. For once, he actually means well!

"Yeah, you're so smart! If I was a rabbit, what would you do?!"
 
My grandmother used to laugh her head off.
I don't think they ever made me laugh and I could not stand the roadrunner, in fact I remember a few times hoping the dam thing would get eaten.
 
The old stuff? Can I get a "hell yeah"?

Have they tried making "new" Looney Tunes? I know with some other cartoons, the modern or latter day versions were nowhere near as funny as the classics.
 
Undoubtedly. Looney Tunes is still hilarious.

Yes, and it's actually pretty good. Not as great as the classics, but better than expected, at least in my opinion.

Yes the new Looney Tunes is quite good.

Growing up, I was big fan of Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. I didn't realize until recently that Wile E. used to speak on a regular basis. I think I recall several times during the Road Runner shorts, there would be the rare occasion when he'd stop, turn to the camera, and address the viewer -- but VERY rarely, if I recall. But, I love that Super Genius a lot more now. :)
 
Loony Tunes are some of the funniest things ever created. Timelessly funny. The ones that made me laugh my ass off when I first saw them still make me laugh my ass off. My favorites are Foghorn Leghorn and that sheep dog and wolf that punch a time clock before they beat each other senseless.
 
The new looney tunes has pretty good writing, but terrible voices. Everyone sounds wrong. The last good show with Looney tunes characters was Duck Dodgers. Great writing and great voice over.
 
The Termite Terrace gang were brilliant when they skewered classical music and opera (“The Rabbit of Seville,” “What’s Opera, Doc?”).

And who could forget Chuck Jones’ western spoof “Drip-Along Daffy”?

Unfortunately, some of the Warner Brothers cartoons have suffered from silly censorship on television. In “The Big Snooze,” Bugs enters the dream of a sleeping Elmer Fudd by taking sleeping pills (the bottle says “Take Dese and Doze”). That bit has been cut from the televised version, leaving the viewer to wonder just how Bugs got into Elmer’s dream.

Wile E. Coyote spoke in some of the earlier cartoons. I don’t believe he spoke in any of the Road Runner shorts. They were certainly funnier when the characters were mute — except for the Road Runner’s taunting “beep-beep” (although it sounded like “meep-meep”).

Looney Tunes kick butt over the tripe that passes as "cartoons" today.

That’s because they were made by creative geniuses like Tex Avery, Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones. And because they were made to entertain movie theater audiences of all ages, not just kids.

Some times felt the writers were a bit too mean to ol Wile E. on occasions (and a bit repititious).

Of course there was one time when he actually did catch the Road Runner then holds up a sign that says "Now what do you want me do with him?".

Never cared for Pepe le Pew.

And wasn't Speedy Gonzales also the victim of censorship?
(don't see how he was a negative stereo time - he always got the better of the Gringo cat).
