12
13	Porky Pig was the first true star character to be adorned on the Franchise/LooneyTunes and [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Merrie Melodies]] franchises[[note]]WesternAnimation/{{Bosko\|TheTalkInkKid}} fans in the back, please sit down[[/note]], and an icon of animation. This lovable swine has earned recognition for his cute looks, his [[PorkyPigPronunciation legendary stutter]], and his many escapades with fellow screwball WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck. He has starred in the second most cartoons in the two franchises, with 159 appearances in the original theatrical cartoons, second only to WesternAnimation/BugsBunny's 168 short lineup and ahead of WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck's 129 short lineup (although he shared 42 shorts with Daffy).
14
15	Porky Pig as a character was instrumental in saving the Creator/WarnerBros cartoon studio from going under -- by [[MediaNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation 1935]], the studio had been in the doldrums after studio founders Creator/HarmanAndIsing left, taking early star character Bosko, the Talk-Ink Kid with them to Creator/{{MGM}}, leaving them with four things -- the names "Franchise/LooneyTunes" and "[[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Merrie Melodies]]", "ThatsAllFolks", and a worthless, hastily cooked up {{Expy}} for Bosko, the incredibly bland Buddy. Suffice to say, the studio was in serious need of a kick in the pants, so in an effort to save the studio, Creator/FrizFreleng cooked up a batch of FunnyAnimal characters based on the ''[[Film/TheLittleRascals Our Gang]]'' series of shorts, as well as his childhood memories, who all made their debut in the Merrie Melodies cartoon "WesternAnimation/IHaventGotAHat": the troublemaking Beans the Cat, cute little Kitty the Cat, Ham and Ex the twin puppies, Oliver Owl the bookworm, and a pudgy little piglet with an uncontrollable stutter, intended as the sidekick for Beans.
16
17	While he barely had over a minute of screentime in said short, Porky was an immediate hit with audiences – the first real star character the studio had. However, the studio seemed to think that Beans the Cat was going to be their next big character, so they tried a second cartoon, "WesternAnimation/GoldDiggersOf49", with young director Creator/TexAvery at the directing helms, starring Beans and a heavily redesigned Porky as his sidekick. Once again, the pig won out as the next big thing, thus establishing him as the official mascot of the studio, while Beans and the rest of the "Our Gang" -derivative ensemble quickly faded away. He even replaced Bosko's farewell to the audience at the end of the proper Looney Tunes series and immortalized "Th-th-th-th-th-that's all, Folks!". His line remains famous to the 21st century.
18
19	However, Porky's popularity was not to last--for another star stole his thunder two years later, in one of Porky's most beloved cartoons: "WesternAnimation/PorkysDuckHunt". The star in question was a crazy darnfool WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck.
20
21	Around the late 30's, Porky would start becoming a more fleshed out character, especially in the hands of Creator/BobClampett, who made him a more peppy, youthful individual who frequently went on adventures across the world, resulting in some very interesting trips, especially his journey to the home of the fabled Do-Do bird in "WesternAnimation/PorkyInWackyland". Creator/FrankTashlin would also make several shorts with Porky, portraying him as having an innocent every-man type personality.
22
23	While Daffy foreshadowed Porky's downfall in popularity, when WesternAnimation/BugsBunny arrived in 1940, it became clear that Porky's days as a major star were coming to an end. Fortunately, he still managed to appear in plenty of his own shorts, and eventually became the tagalong of WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck, starring in classics like "WesternAnimation/RobinHoodDaffy" and "[[WesternAnimation/DuckDodgersInTheTwentyFourthAndAHalfCentury Duck Dodgers]]". He's currently appearing in ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunesCartoons'', so at least he's getting a ''bit'' of work.
24
25	Here's a bit of interesting trivia for you: there are only THREE (or depending on how you feel about "WesternAnimation/PorkysHareHunt" and "WesternAnimation/DumbPatrol", five) of the original theatrical cartoons that have starred Porky Pig and WesternAnimation/BugsBunny together – "WesternAnimation/ACornyConcerto", "WesternAnimation/PorkyPigsFeat", and ''WesternAnimation/AnyBondsToday''.
26
27	On a side note, Creator/HarmanAndIsing had already cooked up their own pig character in the early 30's as an {{Expy}} for their WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse [[CaptainErsatz wannabe]] Foxy. This character was called "Piggy", although he was just another non-descript run of the mill Mickey Mouse clone, with nothing in common with Porky.
28
29	Joe Dougherty (a man with a real stutter) was his original voice. The role was quickly taken over by Creator/MelBlanc, who has said his version of the stutter suggested the grunting of actual pigs. Unlike the rest of his co-stars, who have had various actors voice them depending on the director and producer, Porky has the unparalleled distinction of almost always being voiced by Creator/BobBergen, and has been for decades.

33	All Merrie Melodies cartoons up to "Nothing But The Tooth" and color Looney Tunes ("My Favorite Duck" to "Little Orphan Airedale") were syndicated to TV through a.a.p. (Associated Artists Productions). The black-and-white Looney Tunes ("Golddigers Of '49" to "Porky's Cafe") were part of the Sunset/Guild package. All others were either shown on network TV (''The Bugs Bunny Show'' or ''The Porky Pig Show'') or syndicated through the ''Porky Pig And Friends'' package.

368	!!Tropes R-re-r-rel-re-re-rel-re-re-pertaining to the Character:
369	* AlliterativeName: As with many of Warner Bros.' animated characters including Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.
370	* ArtEvolution: By the time Bob Clampett directed the Porky Pig shorts, he was considerably slimmed down from his earlier appearances.
371	* BadassAdorable: Porky's not really the fighting type, but on rare occasions where push comes to shove, he can and ''will'' fight back. "Porky's Poultry Plant" is one occasion where Porky not only doesn't cower in fear, but actually takes the initiative to save his hens from a flock of vultures--by chasing them down in an airplane, equipped with machine guns! And he ''wins''. "Little Beau Porky" is another shining hour, where Porky singlehandedly and successfully defends his French Foreign Legion post from Ali Mode and his thieves. "Porky the Gob" has him singlehandedly defending his battleship from an enemy submarine.
372	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Generally a nice guy and has a long fuse, but set that temper off, and you better get clear. "The Ducksters" is the clearest example: even before he wins his prize money, Porky is enraged enough to be ready to punch out Daffy when he is threatened and when Porky does win, he immediately buys out the radio company and gets his sweet revenge with all the sadism he suffered now being lashed out in return.
373	** Another example occurs in ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'' episode "The Float". Here, Daffy screws Porky out of $375,000 in order to buy a yacht (though the duck told Porky it was for a kidney transplant). A suspicious Bugs Bunny climbs aboard the yacht and asks Daffy how his kidney is feeling. When Daffy reveals that [[ILied he lied to Porky]] [[TooDumbToLive so he could get the money for the yacht]], the eavesdropping, ''enraged'' pig proceeds to beat the living tar out of the greedy duck.
374	* BigEater: In his early appearances, his appetite was often his defining characteristic. As he was converted into TheStraightMan however, this trait mostly vanished from the cartoons. It was still one of Porky's traits in some comic book stories.
375	* BrainyPig: He's often shown to be very intelligent, especially when paired with WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck.
376	* BrattyHalfPint: Porky's nephew in "WesternAnimation/PorkysNaughtyNephew". He constantly messes with his uncle for kicks, such as swatting him with a toy shovel (and unwittingly smacking him with a real shovel), pretending to drown in shallow water and then laughing at Porky when he falls for his trick, and then dumping a truckload of sand on top of him. That said, he ''does'' help his uncle win a swimming race by tricking him into thinking his toy sailboat is a shark fin and then reveals his charade after he won--or rather, tries to, as it turns out to the horror of both of them that there really ''was'' a shark in the water.
377	* BreakoutCharacter: Porky hardly had any screen time and a small role in "I Haven't Got A Hat", and he was meant to be a sidekick to Beans. However, his likable StraightMan role and distinct voice made it clear who the real star was.
378	* BurningWithAnger: In "My Favorite Duck", where he literally ignites into a full-on fireball after being wound up by Daffy too many times.
379	* ButtMonkey: Porky wound up as this often, especially in his later cartoons. This got toned down as his co-stars started to gain their own luckless streak. He played TheFool when paired with Sylvester and became Daffy Duck's HyperCompetentSidekick after the former evolved into a luckless SmallNameBigEgo. In comparison to these two, Porky generally took very few lumps in his later years. Until ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'' and ''WesternAnimation/WabbitALooneyTunesProduction'' where he reverts to being a Butt Monkey.
380	* CastingGag: In both Japanese and Mexican Spanish dubs, Porky's respective voice actors (Creator/NaokiTatsuta and Ernesto Lezama) are also the voice of [[Franchise/DragonBall Oolong]], another talking pig.
381	* CharacterCatchphrase: "Tha-th-th-tha-th-th...[[Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction go home, folks]]."
382	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Most of the supporting characters created for Porky, such as Beans the Cat, Gabby Goat, and Petunia Pig, met this fate. Daffy averted this by doing [[BreakoutCharacter the complete opposite]].
383	* TheComicallySerious: Specially when he interacts with Daffy.
384	* CrazyPrepared: Along with a fishing license and a dog license, he also has a license to sell hair tonic to bald eagles in Omaha, Nebraska and a license to use Daffy Duck as a motor.
385	* CriminalDoppelganger: Killer, in "Porky's Double Trouble".
386	* DeadpanSnarker: Especially when paired with Daffy.
387	* DemotedToExtra: As noted above, he was the first big star to emerge from the Warner stable and headlined a number of shorts. Even after WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck first appeared, he was still a star, but his leading roles began to decrease by 1942. While he had a long successful partnership with Daffy, 1943's "WesternAnimation/PorkyPigsFeat" was the last short to give him top billing over the duck. Much of his mid-40s and onward work consisted of Porky playing sidekick to zanier characters, with his own series limping to an end in 1951. In The60s, he only appeared in three more shorts of the classic era (and one of them was just recycled footage from ''WesternAnimation/RobinHoodDaffy''). Even into the 21st Century, his screentime is severely trumped by the other characters. Animator Mike Fontanelli (who works for Creator/WarnerBros) claims that Porky's current downplaying is a result of an unexplained dislike of the character by many Warner Bros. executives.
388	* DependingOnTheWriter:
389	** Though often placed as TheEveryman of the franchise, many shorts placed Porky with some distinctive traits, ranging anywhere from a rather naive and somewhat doormat-ish figure to a neurotic and occasionally violent-tempered fuddy duddy. Both extremes were often provoked by his co-stars. Which persona was used usually depended on how sympathetic the writers wanted them to be in comparison, especially when Porky was paired with Daffy.
390	** In the 1930s shorts, Porky Pig appeared variously as a young child or as a grown-up.
391	* {{Determinator}}: In "Duck Soup To Nuts", he uses a pail to bail out ''an entire pond'' in pursuit of Daffy.
392	* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference:
393	** Those of you who are used to watching his cartoons of The40s and The50s cartoons may be quite surprised to see how different Porky was in his cartoons of The30s cartoons, He was a little kid, as well as morbidly obese in his early appearances. In ''WesternAnimation/WabbitALooneyTunesProduction'' he is noticeably a bit tubbier, similar to his original design from 1935.
394	** This could also apply to the first version of the ThatsAllFolks drum ending, where his design is radically different, especially when you compare that version to the newer, streamlined version used from late-1939 to 1946.
395	* TheEveryman: In contrast to his [[ThePrankster prankster]] co-stars Bugs and Daffy, Porky's an everyday average Joe sort of character. This ultimately came to bite him, as he became increasingly perceived as "the dull one" by comparison.
396	* TheFinickyOne: Certain cartoons, particularly in his later years, portray him more like this, as a way to make him funnier but still evoke his original status as TheEveryman.
397	* TheFool: When paired with Sylvester in Chuck Jones' shorts. The two were paired in three HorrorComedy shorts. In each of them, Porky is completely oblivious to the dangers surrounding them, while a scared Sylvester tries to get them out of the dangerous areas.
398	* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: He wears an open jacket and a bow tie, but is otherwise naked.
399	* HeroAntagonist: As Daffy became more and more the star of the series, Porky started to take on this role in their rivalry. This is particularly evident in shorts where he is an authority figure who is just trying to stop Daffy causing trouble (eg. "Daffy Doodles", Riff Raffy Daffy"). Depending on the level of Daffy's lunacy however, there's sometimes a shade of HeWhoFightsMonsters.
400	* HypercompetentSidekick: To WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck in some of Chuck Jones' later shorts (somewhat in contrast to his other appearances, especially [[TheFool alongside Sylvester by the same director]]).
401	* InnOfNoReturn: "Claws for Alarm", part of the Porky & Sylvester horror trilogy, involves them visiting a run-down inn that's infested with murderous mice, who try their hardest to kill any visitors.
402	* {{Irony}}: Despite creating the character, Friz didn't direct many Porky Pig cartoons in his career- the bulk of them were from the early '40s. His last Porky cartoon in the original theatrical shorts was from 1952, even though both Chuck Jones and Robert [=McKimson=] used the character into the late '50s and early '60s.
403	* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: As his co-stars began to take over the ButtMonkey role, Porky took on a more passive, hyper competent personality. In "Daffy's Inn Trouble" for example, since Porky has the advantage over Daffy the whole time- the RunningGag of the short is that Daffy keeps bungling his efforts to drive business away from Porky's hotel. Even more so in "Robin Hood Daffy" which is almost a full-on role reversal of their earlier dynamic, with Porky now heckling a luckless and frustrated Daffy.
404	** Also, his trademark stutter got toned down severely, with none of the "swapping words" jokes that were featured in many of his '40s shorts.
405	* MotorMouth: In his early cartoons, where his stutter was played up considerably.
406	* NiceGuy: Generally, Porky tends to play the kind, even-tempered StraightMan to his fellow toons' wackier personalities.
407	* NoRespectGuy: A RunningGag in his cartoons is how little respect just about everybody gives him.
408	* OnlySaneMan: Especially whenever alongside Daffy.
409	* OvershadowedByAwesome: By both Bugs and Daffy.
410	* PieEyed: In his black-and-white shorts.
411	* APigNamedPorkchop: He is a very well-known example, as he is ''Pork''y Pig. He provides the page image.
412	* PolicePig: Porky is frequently depicted as a police officer in short films.
413	* PorkyPigPronunciation: His characteristic and iconic stutter makes him the TropeNamer.
414	* PrecisionFStrike: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dSyaTbmvT4 Says "son of a bitch"]] after hammering his thumb in a short clip not intended for general audiences.
415	-->You thought I was gonna say "s-suh-son of a bitch", didn't ya? Heh heh.
416	* TheProtagonist: Until WesternAnimation/BugsBunny was arrived in 1940.
417	%%* RedOniBlueOni: Porky is the blue to Daffy's red.
418	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: More so in his early appearances.
419	* RunningGag: Anytime he stumb-b-b-b, uh, stumb-b-b-b, er, stumb-b-b-b...has trouble with a word and uses a similar word (or phrase) instead; in many cases, the substitute is a bigger mouthful than what he was originally trying to say.
420	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Sensitive Guy to Daffy's Manly Man.
421	* ShoutOut: In "WesternAnimation/PorkyInEgypt", the camel's nervous breakdown was inspired by the film ''Film/TheLostPatrol''. In the same scene, the camel references Creator/RudyardKipling's poem "Boots". The scene where he's bathing in an oasis mirage has the camel imitate Hugh Herbert's laugh.
422	* TheSmartGuy: As a secondary character, this is usually his prominent trait. It's especially prominent in his many, many stints as Daffy's sidekick, where he tends to be the smarter, saner member of the duo and thus is exempt from the slapstick.
423	* SpeciesSurname: Just like the other two big stars of the Looney Tunes, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, he follows this theme be being called Porky Pig.
424	* TheStraightMan: While Porky was the first Warner Bros. character to actually have a distinctive personality, he was concieved and usually portrayed as a meek straight man, which made him a rather inflexible lead character for the directors. They usually had to rely on secondary characters to make his cartoons truly interesting, which eventually led to Porky becoming a secondary character himself once characters like WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck became the headlining star of the studio.
425	* ThatsAllFolks: [[strike: TropeNamer]] TropeCodifier, as [[WesternAnimation/BoskoTheTalkInkKid Bosko]] is technically the TropeNamer, since he said the lines first. When Porky first became the star of the Looney Tunes, Joe Dougherty had such a hard time saying Porky's lines that this tag had to be replaced with the words being written onto the screen. When Mel Blanc took over as Porky, he took over saying the lines.
426	* {{Tritagonist}}: Ever since WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck and WesternAnimation/BugsBunny showed up.
427	* TooDumbToLive: In the Porky/Sylvester "horror trinity" of "Scaredy Cat", "Claws For Alarm" and "Jumpin' Jupiter", Porky's status as TheStraightMan is amped up to the point that he refuses to believe anything weird or dangerous is going on, slowly Flanderizing into borderline IRejectYourReality levels by the final instalment. This actually gets increasingly creepier; in "Scaredy Cat", he is forced to admit that Sylvester was right and Sylvester saves him ([[YankTheDogsChain only to be knocked out by one last mouse whilst Porky's thanking him]]), but in "Claws for Alarm", he's never clued into the danger but manages to get away safely (TheStinger that some of the killer mice have stowed away with them besides). Finally, in "Jumpin' Jupiter", he winds up getting himself and Sylvester stranded on an alien planet because he never figured out he was being abducted by an alien, even insisting after seeing it face to face it could be nothing more than a "friendly Nava-Joe".
428	* TookALevelInBadass: There are rare occasions where Porky will man up and fight his foe toe to toe, even managing to come out on top. "Porky's Poultry Plant" and "Little Beau Porky" are two such examples.
429	* TookALevelInJerkass: In many of his starring roles from The40s to [[The50s the early 50s]], [[DependingOnTheWriter especially in Chuck Jones and Robert McKimson's shorts]], Porky would usually be rather curmudgeonly and sarcastic. He was even prone to acts of extreme violence, including physical abuse, to get whatever he wanted (whether it be his hunting target, peace and civility, or some other goal), yet somehow never crossed the villain territory that [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Elmer Fudd]] and [[HairTriggerTemper Yosemite Sam]] were in. Granted how justified he is in this behavior varies, since he was paired with [[ThePrankster pranksters]].
430	* VagueAge: In his earlier cartoons, Porky's age was all over the place. Some cartoons, including his debut, ''I Haven't Got A Hat'', depict him as a child. In others, he's an adult (in one of which, he even had an adult daughter). Later cartoons seemed to settle on him being an adult.
431	* VillainOfTheWeek: The early Porky shorts occasionally had one-shot bad guys for Porky to deal with, such as the Streamline Train driver from "Porky's Railroad", the vultures from "Porky's Poultry Plant", Ali Mode from "Little Beau Porky", Sub Zero from "Porky the Gob", and so on.
432	* VitriolicBestBuds: With Daffy. When paired, they often antagonize or insult each other. But they have variously been depicted as pals, business partners, co-workers, or roommates.
433	* VocalEvolution: His voice also sounded different in his initial '30s cartoons, where his stutter was more apparent. This is due to the fact that his original voice actor, Joe Dougherty, had an actual stutter problem. Mel Blanc initially replicated Dougherty when he first took the role, though started adding his own comedic pacing by the 40s. Also, Blanc's voice for Porky started out thinner and slightly deeper, before gradually becoming thicker and squeakier by the color cartoons during the early 40s.
434	* WeirdnessMagnet: Seems to attract all sorts of demented characters, much to his dismay.
435	* WhiteGloves: Usually wears these, though there have been occasions where his hands have been bare.
