History YMMV / PorkyPig

* VanillaProtagonist: As the series gained its trademark wackiness, down to earth Porky had increasing difficulty grabbing the audience compared to abrasive newcomers such as Bugs and Daffy. As such his own series gradually fizzled and he was reduced to a co star to the rest of the ensemble. For some, this is part of Porky's appeal, as let him be a strong [[TheStraightMan Straight Man]] to others' shenanigans.

* HarsherInHindsight: Porky's stutter was originally created by his original voice actor Joe Dougherty who had a stutter in real life. Joe actually had great trouble controlling it and it lead to problems with the recording process of the shorts and lead to him being replaced by Creator/MelBlanc. Joe spent the rest of his life in obscurity, to the point where there isn't even any photographs of him anywhere. The fact that Porky's defining character trait is what lead to the death of his original voice actor's career is pretty damn sad.

* MyRealDaddy: Porky's creator Creator/FrizFreleng actually used the character rather sparsely throughout the series (even admitting later he wasn't that fond of using him), with other directors, perhaps most notably Creator/BobClampett, more responsible for developing what would be his finalized personality.

* DerangedAnimation: WesternAnimation/PorkyInWackyland is the TropeCodifier, while WesternAnimation/PorkyInEgypt has some elements of this.

* NightmareFuel: See DerangedAnimation for more clarity.

* TheScrappy: Apparently, according to several WB sources, Porky Pig is a Scrappy to many creators and executives of the series, explaining his lack of spotlight. Director Frank Tashlin in particular thought Porky was "a terrible character", and resented most of his filmography being devoted to him compared to more abrasive and flexible characters like Bugs and Daffy. It also didn't help that by the 1940's, Porky had become more of GrumpyBear than the cute protagonist he started out to be. Less prominent with actual fans and animation buffs, who often rate Porky's cartoons highly and consider him underrated.

* TheWoobie: Very often.
