** Technically speaking, that would make him something like a slave owner, since he isn't eating them (in fact, he beats up Charlie for suggesting it). However, other cases of Porky eating food made from pigs do exist, like in "Paying the Piper" where he mentions that his sister smokes ham, in "Porky's Tire Trouble", his lunch includes a sausage and "Porky's Midnight Matinee" has him knock over his lunch chasing an ant, resulting in a slice of ham landing on his face.

* In ''Cheese Chasers,'' Hubie and Bertie O.D. on cheese, and feeling nothing left to live for as they can no longer stand cheese want Claude Cat to eat them. Claude gets traumatized in turn and wants Marc Antony to massacre him. None of the antagonists bother to explain ''why'' they want to be eaten/beaten up, and Marc Antony can only deduce, "It just don't add up!!" He goes running for the dog catcher.

** Both of these episodes (and any other cartoon episode like them) could have been over almost instantly, if the suicidal character had just kept the fact that they wanted to die to themselves; using "Cheese Chasers" as an example, the biggest mistake the mice made was telling Claude they wanted him to eat them, when he was perfectly willing to do just that a second a go.

** Well, actually roadrunners in real life are omnivorous. Plus, their diet mostly includes invertebrates, rodents and small reptiles, so this thought is more or less NightmareRetardant.

** A consistency is while the audience don't find Daffy's performances remotely entertaining, they find his pain and humiliation ''very'' entertaining. The audience in "Show Biz Bugs" only applaud with his final act where he literally ''kills'' himself, and J.B. Cupish in "Daffy Dilly" only laughs when Daffy makes a fool of himself. Looney Tunes creators such as Chuck Jones specifically retooled Daffy into a ButtMonkey because they found his former ScrewySquirrel archetype obnoxious. In other words, they found Daffy far less applause-worthy as a performer than a punching bag.

*In "Little Red Riding Rabbit" unlike in the original tale, the wolf was not interested in the slightest in Little Red Riding Hood, instead trying to eat Bugs Bunny alone. In real life wolves rarely eat humans (only if they are starving and have no other option) but eat rabbits all the time.

* In "Barbary Coast Bunny" Nasty Canasta is portrayed as a total contrast from his "Drip Along Daffy" self, devolved from a terrifying hulking brute to a conniving fat oaf. In that cartoon he was against Bugs Bunny. From [[StrawLoser Daffy's]] perspective, Canasta was an unstoppable menace, from [[BornWinner Bugs']], he's just another bumbling jerk.
