Best Warner Brothers Cartoon Character

Foghorn Leghorn is my personal favorite, but Daffy seems like the more perfectly formulated character.

sam sheepdog, the internet hardman of the farm

ralph wolf as spockpuppet

Oh damn, this is so impossible. I wish this had been set up as a deathmatch instead of a poll.

oh, ILX contrarians! This is about as difficult as Best Marx Brother.

Bugs, of course. Separated into major and minor characters would have been better.

actually, you probably need three tiers - cuz who the hell is going to vote for Michigan J. Frog vs. Bugs or vs. Tweety?

I wish I could find the sheepherders vs. ranchers free-grazing Looney Tune.

is the three bears the really dumb son that always pisses off the dad and the mom that goes "ohh henry..."

i thought that was mgm

is this the chicken that would sing and all the hens would swoon? I remember him being skinnier.

He was my favorite when I was a kid.

that's not a chicken, that's Foghorn Leghorn

he is skinnier. he is wearing a coat that was popular at the time.

thats not foghorn leghorn, you ball.

roosters are chickens, and that is NOT foghorn

I voted for Michigan J Frog!

i think it is, guys. here's the link

I've had good times with all these guys, though. xpost

yeah look at the caption under it on the Foghorn page
Rhode Island Red (Foghorn's rival and college chum) with some hen friends

also Foghorn's hands are white

Looney Tune rockists

sorry guys, my error.

if i had to choose, it's Yosemite Sam mostly for the phrase long eared galoot.

Bugs, so obviously it couldn't be more obvious.

On reflection, I can't believe I voted for the frog.

This is a toughie, especially as some of them are double acts. Has to be Wile E. Coyote as he's at least two distinct characters, and the ones he's in are the funniest and most poignant of the WB canon.

I don't care if it's contrarian, Pepé Le Pew is a god to me.

GIS for "The Bunny of Seville" doesn't yield a grab of Bugs rubbing grow tonic into Fudd's scalp with his feet, so just pretend I posted one.

His hind feet, I guess I should specify.

Bugs, obviously, but I voted for Pussyfoot for sentimental reasons.

I voted for Porky, 'cause he's in the mostest greatest toons.

i'm with noodle

tweety was kind of a dick

Man, true!

I remember about 12-13 years ago when WB cartoon wear was the big thing, and Tweety was one of the most popular designs. But I've always hated him and rooted for Sylvester to fuck his shit up right.

Yeah, Tweety is a straight-up douche. Road Runner's kind of asking for it, too.

Kind of? It got to the point where I could barely watch those as a kid, I hated them so much.

Michael OTM. I hated Tweety and Roadrunner and just wanted them to get eaten! Wile E. Coyote is my fave.

At least with Tom & Jerry, Tom occasionally got in a good thwack or two.

I am also failing at a GIS so you'll have to imagine Wile E's business card with "genius" as his profession.

anyone gotta answer for me re the 3 bears

Yes, chaki.

rad thanks im voting for them.

Interesting

lolz Jivin' Bears

I love that Warner Bros had a main character who was an out-of-control rapist.

Doubt Michigan J. Frog is gonna pull in at all but he's forever linked w/the great Leon Redbone in my mind, due to this album cover if nothing else:

http://music.toptenreviews.com/images/album_images/cd471251.jpg

Wish there was a picture of his Chapelle Show incarnation online.

Uh-oh, now I find Redbone's hell of into the minstrel thing. Fuck. I just liked his version of "Ain't Misbehavin'."

IT ALL COMES FULL CIRCLE WITH THIS FROG.

Have to vote Elmer, for his role as Siegfried in What's Opera, Doc?

Henery Hawk is my #1 in the minors.

Michigan J. Frog is cocking awesomes, fuck tha hataz.

He might die, and that's the whole cartoon!

is cool cat the cat who counsels sylvester when he's trying to give up eating birds?

3 bears. the voices were perfect and the dad didn't fuck around

i always hated granny, she be misconstruing shit. she ended up in a birdcage once iirc that was tight.

Henry's wife is perfect, down to the bedroom slippers and Eleanor Roosevelt whine.

i always hated granny, she be misconstruing shit. she ended up in a birdcage once iirc that was tight.

omigod you're fuckin' insane. Granny = animated Dame Judi Dench.

no love for Witch Hazel? I love her knack for laughing uproariously at her own jokes whilst clicking her heels and letting 6000 hairpins fly.

oh my alltime favorite LT is the one where i think bugs and granny's dog(the same dog that foghorn used to fuck with, in spirit) were fighting to see who could stay in the warm house while it was snowing outside, and in the end they threw granny(maybe wasn't the same granny, some old bitch) out on her butt. tight.

this was before denchmania had reached our shores, mind xxpost

Very tough, but I'm going with Foghorn. Honorable mentions: Wile E. and Gossamer

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

RED HAIRED MONSTER WITH SNEAKERS

also, OTM on the 3 bears

the dad cracks me up to this day

I'm torn between gossamer (hair monster) and speedy gonzales

As a kid, Pepé Le Pew because I always wanted him to finally fuck that cat. I never understood why she didn't let him beat it up.

I'm glad Cecil Turtle isn't on there (tortoise bests the hare) or else I would demand a recount.

remember when cartoons could get away with stuff like this?

no, I am not a senior citizen

Foghorn Fuckin' Leghorn all the goddamn way.

son, I say son

FFLATGDW

New internet acronym.

WHERE ARE ANIMANIACS YOU DIRTY MOTHERFUCKERS?

Rock-a-bye rabbit in the hot oven, into my mouth for dinner and shovin'

locked up in the water tower like they should be

:(

maybe this is a good place to ask.. what was the name of the old cartoon with all the idioms.. when then the narrator said 'they painted the town red', the characters literally did. It was one idiom after another.

that was Hanna-Barbara, I think.

"I WAS BORN WITH A SILVER SPOON IN MY MOUTH"

yeah, i gotta find that

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94wkOou-Spo Tex Avery

Avery da man

lolololol 'cat got her tongue'

I voted for Pepé le Pew, who so far has been sadly under-represented on the Looney Tunes Golden Collections. Bugs of course was more versatile and is entirely deserving of his prominence, but Pepé's unflappable pursuit of amour is nothing if not enviable. "C'est la guerre" indeed.

And yet like so many infatuated with the promise of love, when the cat (drenched with stripe washed off) falls for him) suddenly wants him, he high-tails it. This has its truth too.

who the heck?!

It's in "For Scent-imental Reasons" — Pepé has fallen into blue paint and now seems more desirable.

Does he go raper?

Porky!

sir wheeze -

Red Haired Monster with Sneakers' name is Gossamer. He is in the poll.

ive always been partial to daffy. same with donald duck. that scene in roger rabbit where they play on stage together and they each try to outdo one another was awesome.

remember when cartoons society could get away with stuff like this?

Voted Daffy, just for his earlier incarnation(when he was green), where he was a fucking loon who would bounce around and fight nazis and shit, rather than the later craven plotting antagonist Daffy.

okay, maybe not green, but at least, the Bob Clampett version.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_Black_and_de_Sebben_Dwarfs

Daffy Duck = Jack Lemmon

Daffy. but only if it's zany out of his mind 1940's Daffy. Ya Thilly.

Possibly the toughest poll yet

"I must have taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque..."

one of my earliest and fondest childhood memories was of daffy hitting hitler in the head with a huge mallet

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

interesting

Poor showing for Yosemite Sam and the Tasmanian Devil. I'm sure they'd have done better in a deathmatch.

I missed this poll, I think I'd have picked Foghorn Leghorn out of a shortlist of Yosemite Sam, Bugs, Daffy, Foghorn Leghorn and Sylvester.

I love old men who look like Yosemite Sam who have Yosemite Sam T-shirts and Yosemite Sam mudflaps.

i love the idea of them.

tasmanian devil = ruined by overexposure in the 90s

best bugs cartoon = where he's being chased by the gangsters and keeps tricking them into hiding in the stove, then pretending to grill himself as an irish cop, then a real cop shows up and has the exact same conversation with him. funniest shit in history.

yeah that's a great one

I've ALWAYS been such a sucker for Bugs as Leopold in "Long Haired Hare."

"And whatta they do in Tiajuana,
When they wanna snuggle tight,
well...."

But, I voted with the majority on this one.

Daffy is just too awesome, and Bugs gets enough cred as the Looney Tunes poster boy...err, wabbit.

Where's Beaky Buzzard?? He was my favorite.

there is one glaring omission from shakey's list, yo:

what about the justly-forgotten BOSKO?
