Needless to say, most of the new characters only lasted three years, aside from Cool Cat, Colonel Rimfire, and Spooky, who appeared in ''WesternAnimation/TheSylvesterAndTweetyMysteries'' and ''WesternAnimation/TweetysHighFlyingAdventure'' and later ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunesCartoons''.

* NeverLiveItDown: While Daffy Duck's reputation for being a grouchy JerkAss in the 1960s "Daffy vs. Speedy" shorts isn't wholly undeserved, the exact extent of it can get exaggerated. Sometimes he goes after Speedy for no good reason, but in a lot of the shorts Daffy is merely a PunchClockVillain who's either been specifically hired to get rid of Speedy or is having to deal with him in the normal course of whatever job he's holding, and there are even a few where Daffy isn't really antagonistic at all.[[note]]Most prominently "Skyscraper Caper", where he's actually friends with Speedy, and "A Haunting We Will Go", where Daffy spends most of the storyline not having any animus towards or even realizing he's dealing with Speedy, who disappears from the plot as soon as he finds out.[[/note]]

* UnintentionallySympathetic: [[UnintentionallySympathetic/LooneyTunes Has his own page]].
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Some characters could sometimes fall victim to this (not that it made them any less funny, of course):
** "WesternAnimation/CannedFeud": It might come off as a surprise to learn we're actually supposed to ''root'' for the mouse that pointlessly torments Sylvester left and right (with the intent of ''starving him to death'' no less). Even worse, Sylvester had no intention of hurting him.
*** The character, referred to as Brownie Mouse by some sources, appeared in several other Sylvester shorts, most of them only nominally better than the above. Brownie was essentially [[Franchise/TomAndJerry Jerry]] at his worst with the negative aspects punctuated, being a smug little vermin who had nothing against taking his offense above and beyond self defense or even, as in "Canned Feud", just skipping the "he started it" mentality altogether. He even got away with tormenting Bugs Bunny in "WesternAnimation/RhapsodyRabbit".
** Also "Gonzales Tomales" where, angered by Speedy stealing their girls, the male mice trick Sylvester into thinking he's called him out for a fight. Sylvester dares him to just try it, upon which he gladly beats him to a pulp. Sylvester, the supposed villain of the story, was the only sympathetic character of the bunch (among Speedy's homewrecker tendencies and the rest of the mouse population resorting to murderous measures of revenge), yet still ended up the sole loser.
*** "Mexican Cat Dance": Speedy, despite being the supposed "good guy" in this cartoon, is little more than a bully, constantly tormenting and humiliating Sylvester for no reason other than sheer entertainment.
** "WesternAnimation/LongHairedHare": While nobody would argue that Giovanni Jones is anything more than a violent hot-head and pompous {{Jerkass}}, the rather extreme measures WesternAnimation/BugsBunny takes to exact revenge on him (with the ending bordering on murder) make it ''very'' hard to root for him.
*** In fact, this trope is what led to the creation of Yosemite Sam. Elmer Fudd was so pathetic that Bugs came off as a mean-spirited bully in some shorts featuring the two, so the animators needed an even bigger and more belligerent {{Jerkass}} to be Bugs' victim.
*** Early Bugs Bunny shorts are even worse, where Bugs is a {{troll}} tormenting others, who aren't trying to even hurt him, seemingly for his own amusement. "WesternAnimation/WabbitTwouble" and "Elmer's Pet Rabbit" are pretty bad in this regard. Directors made restraints on the character afterwards, making clear [[KarmicTrickster he couldn't attack without being victimized first]] ([[DisproportionateRetribution though to what degree varied]]).
** According to Chuck Jones, Wile E. Coyote is always meant to be an IneffectualSympatheticVillain. Too bad there are numbers of people who don't feel that way.

** Insisting that the original theatrical shorts [[AnimationAgeGhetto are for kids]] is definitely a way to get fans angry at you. While it saw success with kids when ''WesternAnimation/TheBugsBunnyShow'' was released, and it was a part of many people's childhoods, the series was never really for kids in the first place, with humor that is either not appropriate for children or will fly over the heads of children and those who know nothing of the pop culture or history at the time. Not only that, there are scenes with either extreme violence or ValuesDissonance that have been [[EditedForSyndication edited when aired on television]]. The likes of "WesternAnimation/HollywoodStepsOut", "WesternAnimation/BacallToArms", "WesternAnimation/WildWife", and "WesternAnimation/NormanNormal1968" are definitive proof of this, as they all deal with more adult themes and subjects, the first of which features cameos by countless celebrities that most people born after TheFifties wouldn't know.
