Wile E. Coyote's schemes of the day include dropping a washtub on the Road Runner and putting a lit stick of dynamite inside, a sledgehammer, bird seed on railroad tracks, tying himself to a balloon while lunging towards the bird with a harpoon, a bundle of dynamite with a detonator, a grand piano and last but not least, an elaborate Rube Goldberg-esque device.

'''Hook, Line and Stinker''' is a 1958 cartoon in the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' series, directed by Creator/ChuckJones and starring his iconic duo, WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner.
Wile E. Coyote's schemes of the day include dropping a washtub on the Road Runner and putting a lit stick of dynamite inside, a sledgehammer, bird seed on railroad tracks, tying himself to a balloon while lunging towards the bird with a harpoon, a bundle of dynamite with a detonator, a grand piano and last but not least, an elaborate Rube Goldberg-esque device.

* BladeOnAStick: Tying himself to a balloon in the air, Wile E. then lunges towards the Road Runner with a harpoon in hand. However, he misses and flies into a storm cloud that strikes him with lightning.

* DropTheWashtub: A rare American example of this trope. Wile E. seemingly traps the Road Runner by dropping a washtub on him and sticking in a lit stick of dynamite, but it's revealed that the Road Runner hasn't been trapped and he escapes again, and when Wile E. crawls under the tub to see what's inside, he sees the dynamite stick and unsuccessfully tries to defuse it by slamming the tub on it. The explosion that ensues then distorts the washtub into a tube, trapping Wile E. in the process (save for his head and feet).
