"Our pwedator is still at it. Too thick-headed to know when to quit."

"Wild King Dumb" is a Looney Tunes webtoon starring Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner.

You can watch it here.


"Wild King Dumb" provides examples of:

  • Attack the Tail: After Wile E. gets run over by the Road Runner at the beginning, his knife gets tossed into the air and lands on his tail, causing it to fall off. Thankfully, no bit of gore is seen.
  • Binomium ridiculus: The Road Runner is labeled as "Birdius Tastius"; Wile E., on the other hand, is labeled as "Poultrius Devourius".
  • Black Bead Eyes: The mailman who briefly appears is a variant, since if you look closely, he has blue bead eyes.
  • Blinding Camera Flash: What causes Wile E. to screw up his attempt with the ACME Shaver Scooter is Elmer Fudd (and several other cameras) taking pictures of him with flashes bright enough to temporarily blind him until he rolls off into thin air.
  • Hollywood Magnetism: Wile E.'s final attempt is to get the Road Runner to eat bird seed jumbled with iron pellets and crush him with a mailbox (that Elmer Fudd is hiding inside) using an electromagnetic crane. This ends horribly when a truck, driven by the Road Runner, hits the mailbox and ends up attracting it and the magnet... with the Coyote grasping on it.
  • Idea Bulb: Double subverted. Recovering from the mishap with the turbine engine, Wile E. then gets a new idea, complete with the light bulb appearing over his head... only to briefly forget it as it disappears... then he remembers it again as it reappears.
  • Instant Home Delivery: Immediately after the mailman leaves, the crate containing Wile E.'s first order (a turbine engine) lands on top of its receiver.
  • New Job as the Plot Demands: Elmer Fudd is the narrator of the documentary.
  • Pain-Powered Leap: The turbine engine's exhaust doesn't just give Wile E. a nasty burn to his derrière, it sends him launching high into the sky before he falls back down again.
  • Photo-Booth Montage: It doesn't involve an actual photo booth, but when Wile E. tries to get the turbine engine to move, Elmer Fudd, hiding in a mailbox, photographs him doing that.
  • Rump Roast: Wile E., after he starts up the turbine engine, while standing atop of it.
  • Talking with Signs: Culminating the Photo-Booth Montage listed above, Wile E. holds up a "Yipe!" sign when the turbine engine starts up and burns his rear end.
  • Wildlife Commentary Spoof: The webtoon features Elmer Fudd doing a wildlife documentary on Wile E. and the Roadrunner.
