History WesternAnimation / TheLooneyTunesShow

* ForWantOfANail: In "Best Friends Redux", it turns out that Bugs becoming friends with Rodney Rabbit was a huge factor in Daffy becoming friends with Bugs. Daffy and Bugs first met each other in a post office when Bugs was delivering a letter to Rodney. Thus when Daffy went back in time to prevent Bugs and Rodney from becoming friends in the episode, he effectively RetGone himself from Bugs' memory as Bugs never went to the post office to deliver a letter. In extension, Daffy RetGone himself from most of his friends and neighbors' memories as well since they only knew about Daffy since he was friends with Bugs.

--->'''Bugs:''' It's the Eiffel Tower./\

* AbsurdlySharpClaws: A Wile E. Coyote short has him being cut to ribbons by the Roadrunner's talons in a ninja-style fight.

-->'''Bugs:''' I like your hair.
-->'''Lola:''' Thanks, heh. They're my ears.

* ElevatorGag: In "Butte E. Fail", Wile E. Coyote is climbing a cliff to get at the Roadrunner. He feels around for a hold and stumbles onto an elevator on the cliff wall, which he then takes to the top.

** Bugs uses this trope to get Daffy's attention by telling [[Film/SupermanTheMovie Superman's origin]], except with Bugs Bunny replacing Superman. It backfires, big time.
** There's actually several shoutouts to DC Comics: Daffy claims to be Batman, also wears the costume, there's a similar looking Wonder Woman mannequin in Bugs and Daffy's home, and Bugs mentions the magic word "ComicBook/{{Shazam}}" from Captain Marvel. (And Bugs apparently ''is'' Batman.)

** The entire opening of the episode "Devil Dog" is a huge ShoutOut to the opening of ''Film/JurassicPark'', as well as the first cartoon in which the Tasmanian Devil ever appeared.

** Another horror movie shout out is when we see a point of view of shot from Taz, which is reminiscent of "The Crate" from Film/{{Creepshow}}.

** In the Wile E. Coyote/Road Runner episode "Silent But Deadly" both Road Runner and Wily are locked into a direct confrontation with each other, it's laced with ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' overtones - Wily's costume akin to Scorpion's outfit, destructive weapons, a dark moonlit night with a fatality to frost the cake!

--->'''Bugs:''' It's the Eiffel Tower.
--->'''Lola:''' The world...will never...know...

** The Coyote-Roadrunner short "Heavy Metal" features Wile E. Coyote building [[Film/IronMan1 a suit of armor in a cave with a box of scraps.]]
** Another Coyote-Roadrunner short "Another Bat Idea" has Wile E. Coyote dressed up in a Batman suit complete with explosive Batarangs, Bat Grappling Hook, a cape that flies, and a small shoutout to Creator/AdamWest.

** In the [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner Road Runner-Coyote]] 3D short "Unsafe at Any Speed", it references ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' and ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''.

--> '''Bugs:''' Did you sleep well?\\

--> '''Bugs:''' "Daffy? Oh, wait, he's gone. He's gone all week! That's seven glorious days without a crazy person in my life."
--> *[[CloudCuckoolander Lola]] drives up.*

** As quoted from Bugs, "Daffy, you're a mean-spirited, self-absorbed, disturbed little weirdo, but for whatever reason you're my best friend."

--> '''Bugs:''' [[CharacterCatchphrase Of course, you realize]], {{this means war}}.

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: In "[=SuperRabbit=]", Foara asks Zod why they have to make Kal-El kneel before them. Why not just dispose of him and take over the Earth?

* WrongInsultOffence: In "That's My Baby'', Bugs calls Daffy 'a bummer' after he refuses to go to lunch with him and Porky. Daffy's response is "No. Porky's the bummer. I'm a jerk."

* YouAreGrounded: In "Rebel Without a Glove" Lola's father grounds her to her room for wanting to date a bad boy.
-->'''Walter:''' Go to your room!
-->'''Lola:''' I don't even live here anymore.
-->'''Walter:''' ''(beat)'' Well, go to your old room that your mother turned into a scrapbooking room!

Out of nowhere, Warner Bros. Animation announced a DirectToVideo ''Looney Tunes'' movie in 2015, about Bugs and WesternAnimation/LolaBunny globe-trotting the world to retrieve an invisibility spray Lola invented before their enemies get hold of it first. The result, ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunesRabbitsRun'' was made by much of the same team as ''The Looney Tunes Show'' and similar enough in tone that some consider it a DTV SpiritualSuccessor.

* EnemyMine: Sylvester and Tweety work together to escape the Tasmanian Devil when it gets inside Granny's house.

%%** Bugs can be this DependingOnTheWriter.

[[folder:Tropes A]]

** Speedy does never seem to remember Porky's name, so he calls him "Pinky".

* AccidentalProposal: In "Members Only", Bugs is planning to break up with Lola. as he approaches the table, he trips and drops a mint under chair. As he kneels down to pick it up, Lola assumes he is proposing and immediately accepts.

* CatchPhrase:
** Bugs' is {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in the first episode.
** In "Monster Talent", everyone in town treats Bugs like "I like it" is his new Catch Phrase, much to the rabbit's consternation.

* EmbarrassingAdGig: This show has Bugs Bunny appear in a televised commercial for Pizzarriba, casually stating, "I like it." In-universe PopCulturalOsmosis makes this phrase into Bugs Bunny's ''ad hoc'' CatchPhrase, which disturbs him. Even a squad of firefighters arriving to quell a fire at Bugs's house pause to ask Bugs to repeat the "I like it" phrase.

--> '''Bugs:''' [[CatchPhrase Of course, you realize]], {{this means war}}.

* TeamPet: Taz has been regulated to this role with Bugs as the owner, and by the end of "Devil Dog" actually becomeS a recurring pet.

** Bugs uses this trope to get Daffy's attention by telling [[Film/{{Superman}} Superman's origin]], except with Bugs Bunny replacing Superman. It backfires, big time.

* PaintItBlack: In "Rebel Without a Glove", Bugs loses his signature white gloves, which turns him into a NervousWreck because he feels they define his personality. As a last-ditch replacement, he purchases some black leather gloves, which causes his personality to transform into that of a NinetiesAntiHero, resulting in him being a {{Jerkass}} to everyone around him.

* {{Irony}}: In "You've Got Hate Mail", Daffy accidentally sends out an email detailing everything he dislikes about everyone he knows. The person with the most angry response is [[NiceGirl kindly old lady]] Granny, who flattens Daffy in one punch. The person with the most docile response is the HotBlooded Yosemite Sam, who believes that everything Daffy wrote about him was [[JerkassHasAPoint harsh, but valid]], and tries to change his ways in response to reading it.

* SettingUpdate: The entire ''Looney Tunes Show'' revolves around this trope as a soft reboot of the original. The setting of the show is updated to reflect the current 21st Century, and the 2010's decade the show was made in. This is exemplified through the characters having smartphones and the internet and other examples of modern, 21st Century technology, using modern, updated vernacular, and having the storyline partially reflect and satiring modern, 21st Century culture.

* ArtisticLicensePolitics: During the episode "Semper Lie," [[spoiler: Bugs is rescued from the Albanian prison camp when the U.S. Marine corps performs a raid on said prison. This is in spite of the fact that Albania became a NATO member state (and thus a U.S. military ally) in 2009, a full three years before the episode had aired.]]

This show is not to be confused with the Cartoon Network installment show that aired the original shorts.
