* MoodSwinger: A frequent gag.

** ''Bugs Bunny Superstar'' (1975), a {{documentary}} narrated by Creator/OrsonWelles and featuring nine '40s cartoons in their entirety along with interviews of Freleng, Avery, and (especially) Clampett.
** ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie'' (aka '''The Great American Chase'') (1979), the first of several {{Compilation Movie}}s combining footage from vintage shorts with newly-animated bridging material. This one, directed by Chuck Jones and featuring only his cartoons, is "hosted" by Bugs Bunny from his mansion as he expounds on the history of "the chase" in animation.
** ''The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie'' (1981), directed by Friz Freleng and only featuring his work. It was broken into three separate stories (one was a remake of "Devil's Feud Cake", one was a crime drama parody, and the final was an awards ceremony), and was the first compilation to build a (more-or-less) coherent storyline by weaving old and new material together.
** ''Bugs Bunny's Third Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales'' (1982), directed by Freleng and mostly made of his work, but also featuring material from some Jones shorts. Unlike the previous entry, it consisted of one long story: Daffy and Bugs competing to be the best book salesman but constantly getting sidetracked on the way to their selling locations, with Bugs ending up forced to read stories to Yosimite Sam's bratty son. It was the first of the compilation films to feature Robert [=McKimson=]'s work (a brief clip of "Aqua Duck" is seen towards the end).
** ''Daffy Duck's Fantastic Island'' (1983): The [[SarcasmMode fan-favorite]] character combination of Daffy and Speedy also got a movie, built around a parody of ''FantasyIsland''.
** ''Daffy Duck's Quackbusters'' (1988), directed by Greg Ford and Terry Lennon, the last of the compilation movies and generally regarded as the best. It had the strongest plot (which was about Daffy opening a ghost-catching/exorcism company with Bugs and Porky) and the animators took care to imitate the old animators so the transition from bridging sequences to the classic cartoons was smoother. It's also the only Looney Tunes film to exclusively use Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn music for the bridging sequences. The rest used new music from a variety of composers.
** ''Film/SpaceJam'' (1996): The first fully original Looney Tunes film, [[RogerRabbitEffect combining animation and live action]]. See its entry for more info.
** ''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction'' (2003): Again, see its entry for more info. Of note, a planned series of new theatrical shorts being developed around this time was cancelled due to this film's lackluster box office performance.
* MovingBuildings: The episode "Designs for Leaving" has WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck outfit Elmer Fudd's home with modern gadgets. One of these is an elevator that lowers the second story... which crushes everything in the first story. Also, the BigRedButton that Elmer is warned not to push [[spoiler:lifts the entire house hundreds of feet up in the air, in case of tidal waves. And, Daffy has yet to install the little blue button to bring it back down]].
* MrImagination: Ralph Phillips, in "From A to Z-Z-Z-Z" and "Boyhood Daze"
* MultipleDemographicAppeal: Despite syndication packages in America and the rest of the world labeling the Looney Tunes as "kiddie fare," even going so far as to edit gags deemed too "adult." However, there are videos and [=DVDs=], both official and unofficial, that preserve these "adult" gags uncut for all to see.
* MundaneWish: The genie in "A-Lad in His Lamp" tries to prevent Bugs from making one of these. But Bugs gets so irritated with his constant interruptions of his wishes that he tells the genie to cut it out. Ironically, Bugs ends up wishing for a carrot, which is pretty mundane.
* MurderInc: ''WesternAnimation/CoalBlackAndDeSebbenDwarfs'' has a scene of the Queen calling "Murder Inc." to "black out So White." Murder Inc.'s rates for killing people are: $1.00 for killing anyone, 50 cents (half-price) for killing midgets, and, since the cartoon premiered around the time that America was involved in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, free for killing Japs.
** The rat-faced Mexican villain from 1938's "My Little Buckaroo" will put anybody on the spot for $2.75. Mothers-in-law: $2.50.
* MusicalEpisode: "Swooner Crooner".
** "Katnip Kollege".
* MustacheVandalism: Many, many times. One example:
** "Daffy Doodles" has Porky Pig as a policeman and Daffy Duck as a mustache vandal. When Daffy finally gets arrested and imprisoned at the end of the cartoon, Daffy tearfully repents and promises he'll never draw another mustache... he'll draw beards instead.
* MyCard: Wile E. Coyote's "Super Genius" card
** Owl Jolson's, too, in "I Love to Singa".
** The hotel manager in "Porky Pig's Feat" hands Daffy his card. Daffy punches it into paper dolls.
-->'''Daffy:''' You've had your coffee ration for this week, Robespierre!"
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone?: Elmer Fudd's reaction whenever he ''thinks'' he's finally killed Bugs. No matter how hard he's been trying throughout the episode to shoot Bugs he always breaks down in tears when he thinks he's finally done it, calling himself a murderer. Which calls into question why he's a hunter in the first place.
** The dog in ''Hare Ribbin''' (1944) goes through similar contrition after taking a bite out of the rigged Rabbit Sandwich. When he wails "I wish I were dead!", Bugs hands him a gun and he blows his brains out, only to rise, stop the iris out and say "This shouldn't happen to a dog!" (Clampett's director's cut of the cartoon has Bugs shoving the gun in the dog's mouth and pulling the trigger.)
** Another example done by Elmer in the end of WesternAnimation/WhatsOperaDoc.
* MythologyGag: The name of the high-rise building in which Porky lives in ''Porky's Pooch'' (1941): Termite Terrace. (Of note, all the backgrounds in the cartoon are live-action photographs.)
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: The ending of [[WesternAnimation/AllThisAndRabbitStew "All This And Rabbit Stew"]].
* NameDrop: This exchange from the Bugs Bunny cartoon ''French Rarebit'' (1951):
-->'''Bugs:''' Of course if you ''really'' want something good, you can't beat a good old Louisiana back bay bayou bunny bordelaise...à la Antoine.
-->'''Chef Francoise:''' À la Antoine?! You mean ''ze'' Antoine of New Orleans??
-->'''Bugs:''' I don't mean Antoine o' Flatbush!
** Antoine's actually exists in New Orleans. It's at 713 St. Louis St. and has been in business since 1840.
* NeckLift: Bruno the bear does it to WesternAnimation/BugsBunny in "Big Top Bunny". So does Gossamer (aka "Rudolph") in ''Hair-Raising Hare.''
* NegativeContinuity: Completely. In many series, characters meet each other for the first time in every cartoon, and any "facts" given about a character in one cartoon (like Elmer being a vegetarian in "Rabbit Fire") are for that cartoon only and aren't intended to carry over into subsequent instalments.
** In ''Lighter Than Hare'', Yosemite Sam is an alien with tons of robots whose trying, not to hunt Bugs Bunny, but abduct him. He also wears an astronaut suit and helmet instead of a cowboy hat, but otherwise looks exactly the same.
* NeverWakeUpASleepwalker: One short involved a Fox disguising itself as a Guard Dog using this trope to smuggle chickens out, counting on the real Guard Dog's fear of causing him to his advantage.
** Another, "The Unbearable Bear" featuring Sniffles the Mouse, involves a policeman chasing a burglar in his own home, but both parties trying to stay quiet because the policeman's wife is sleepwalking. Though it's more because they're both afraid of what she'll do to them if she wakes up.
* NewJobAsThePlotDemands:
** Porky frequently switches jobs, as does Daffy.
** Also, this is partially Yosemite Sam's whole schtick. While he started out as a Western outlaw, he later became whatever antagonist the short needed (but always kept his tiny bandit mask).

* NewspaperDating: Elmer in "The Old, Gray Hare"
%%Nightmare Fuel examples belong in their own section. Do not post them here.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Some RealLife [[BigBad Big Bads]] were humiliated -- particularly around World War II, when all of their cartoons had the characters fighting against UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, Joseph Goebbels and his Nazi regime or Japanese soldiers, like in ''WesternAnimation/TokioJokio'' and ''WesternAnimation/BugsBunnyNipsTheNips''. In a more friendly fashion, Hollywood celebrities such as Creator/HumphreyBogart, Music/FrankSinatra, and Music/AlJolson were often lightly mocked.
** Prior to Creator/AbbottAndCostello being caricatured as cats (later mice) as "Babbitt & Catstello," Creator/LaurelAndHardy were caricatured as crows in pursuit of a grasshopper in ''A Hop, Skip And A Chump.''
** Music/BingCrosby tried to stop release of "Bingo Crosbyana" (1936, Freleng) because it depicted him as a vainglorious cowardly fly.
** Friz Freleng is caricatured as the astronomer who loses his mind after seeing what he saw in his telescope in ''The Hasty Hare.''
** The Gremlins in Bob Clampett's ''WesternAnimation/RussianRhapsody'' are caricatures of Warner cartoon staffers.
** The tour guide character in "Little Blabbermouse" and "Shop Look and Listen" is a caricature of Creator/WCFields.
** The two castaways in "Waikiki Wabbit" (1943) were caricatures of animator Ken Harris and storyman Michael Maltese. The two even furnished the voices to their cartoon counterparts.
** Jackie Gleason and Art Carney, as their Series/TheHoneymooners characters Ralph Cramden and Ed Norton, were caricatured as hobos in ''Half Fare Hare''. In fact, they Honeymooners cast were caricatured as mice in Bob [=McKimson=]'s three Honeymousers cartoons ("The Honeymousers," "Cheese It--The Cat" and "Mice Follies").
** "People Are Bunny" has a caricature of Art Linkletter, then the host of the NBC game show ''People Are Funny'' and CBS's ''Art Linkletter's House Party''. Here he's called Art Lamplighter.
** "Person to Bunny" had Edward R. Burrows, a parody of famous journalist [[Film/GoodNightAndGoodLuck Edward R. Murrow]].
* NoEnding: Quite common - a lot of the shorts were just abruptly cut in the middle of the action.
** In the case of "The Heckling Hare" it was ExecutiveMeddling.
** In ''Hare-Um Scare-Um'' (1939), hunter John Sourpuss tells proto-Bugs Bunny that "I can whip you and your whole family!" A bunch of bunnies arrive to take him up on the challenge—then the film cuts off. In the original ending, the looney rabbits beat Sourpuss up on-camera, eventually driving him looney himself. Though no hard evidence has been found, it's often speculated that the scene was deleted for being too similar to the ending of ''Daffy Duck And Egghead'' one year prior. The footage has been restored to the cartoon for Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 2.
** "Ride Him, Bosko!" is probably the standout example; [[BreakingtheFourthWall the animators]] just [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere up and leave]] without showing if Bosko rescues Honey or not.
* NoFourthWall: ''Every single'' cartoon breaks the fourth wall at last once. WesternAnimation/DuckAmuck is one of the most famous and insane examples ever made.
* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: Is used quite often whenever a female AbhorrentAdmirer goes after one of the male characters. Was also used in three Pepé Le Pew cartoons (1949's "For Scent-imental Reasons," 1952's "Little Beau Pepé ," and 1959's "Really Scent"), proving to modern audiences that, yeah, Pepé may be seen as a "rapist," but he's not a KarmaHoudini (in those instances at least).
* NoMoreForMe: In "Who's Kitten Who?", Hippety Hopper hops by a man on the sidewalk. The man immediately drops a bottle of alcohol from his pocket and nervously walks away.
** When a shrunk-to-the-size-of-a-mouse Gossamer in "Water, Water Every Hare" enters a mousehole, kicks the mouse out and puts up a sign that says "I quit!," the mouse drops a bottle of booze and says "I quit, too!"
** Lampshaded by Daffy in "Rabbit Seasoning" after he pokes out of the hole he and Bugs are hiding in and Elmer blasts him:
-->'''Bugs:''' You go up and act as a decoy and lure him away.
-->'''Daffy:''' (''dazed'') No more for me, thankth! I'm drivin'!
-->'''Bugs:''' Ah well, like they say, never send a duck to do a rabbit's job.
* NoOSHACompliance: Ralph is a wolf who's job is to eat sheep. Sam is a guard dog, whose job is to prevent Ralph from eating sheep. They both use the same punch clock, but the activities usually involve Ralph being injured at the end of the shift. [[{{Understatement}} Not that this is the only example]].
* NonMammalMammaries: Hatta Mari in "Plane Daffy"
* NonSequiturThud: Lots of them, some of which are the funniest and most memorable lines in the shorts. Daffy seems to be the most common victim.
--> '''Daffy''': And the lights went out, all over the world! ("Stupor Duck")
--> '''Daffy''': Starkle starkle, little twink, up above the skating rink! ("Swing Ding Amigo")
--> '''Daffy''': No more for me, thanks! I'm drivin'! (Rabbit Fire)
** Visual non-sequiturs: The penguin trio of "The Penguin Parade" (1938) stop their song midway to make grotesque faces at us; Bugs making a fruit salad on Elmer's head in ''WesternAnimation/RabbitOfSeville''.
* NoSympathy: In "Greedy for Tweety":
--> '''Nurse Granny''': And how's the doggie's limb this morning? ''(Granny pats Hector's leg, who emits a pained groan)'' Oh, still tender, eh? Well, maybe that'll teach you to stop chasing the pussycat. ''(to Sylvester)'' And how's the... pussyfoot today? ''(pats Sylvester's leg, who also groans)'' Oh, still sensitive? Well, maybe now you'll leave that little birdie alone. I hope this teaches both of you a lesson.
* NotRareOverThere: In "The Bee-deviled Bruin", Papa Bear nearly gets himself killed trying to get honey from a hive in a tree outside his home. Eventually, he gives up and asks for a bottle of ketchup. Mama Bear goes to get it... from a cupboard filled to the brim with jars of honey.
* NotSoRemote: In "Big House Bunny," Sam Schultz eagerly digs his way out of his cell and up into what appears to be a lush jungle. In fact, it's the collection of potted plants house in the Warden's office.
* ObviousStuntDouble: Used in the short "A Star is Bored", where Daffy is Bugs' stunt double for any dangerous scene. He's dressed in a rabbit outfit but you can still see his duck face.
* OffModel: Not uncommon, particularly in Creator/BobClampett's shorts, where he gave the animators leeway in deviating from the model sheets in favor of a specific action or expression. However, there was plenty of unintentional off model, such as one scene from "Hare Lift", where Yosemite Sam briefly turns into a robot when he is wearing his parachute! Explanation: As Sam got smaller and smaller plummeting to the ground as the parachute opened, the animation of the automatic pilot, who abandoned the plane just moments before, was used.
** The size difference between Daffy and Speedy seemed to fluctuate wildly, especially in the Alex Lovy-era shorts. [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/looneytunes/images/3/37/Skyscraper_Caper_SS_2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20131024024355 One particularly glaring instance]] is in "Skyscraper Caper" when Daffy walks by Speedy's house; Speedy is drawn ''much'' larger than he should be.
* OffscreenTeleportation: The minah bird is a master of this.
* OhCrap: Wile E. Coyote, Private Snafu, Ralph Wolf, and ThoseWackyNazis do this a lot. Even Bugs Bunny gets a few every now and then.
* OneShotCharacter: Many, many examples. In fact, Merrie Melodies started as a revolving door of one-shot cartoons and characters. Here are just some examples:
** Meatless Flyday (featuring a slap-happy spider trying catch a fly)
** Fresh Airedale
** The Foxy Duckling
** A Hick, a Slick, and a Chick
** Bone Sweet Bone
** Corn Plastered
** Early to Bet (The Gambling Bug was only seen once)
** Sleepy Time Possum
** Rabbit's Kin (Pete Puma was only seen once in the original LT shorts)
** Much Ado About Nutting
** Wild Wife
** Goo Goo Goliath
** Pizzicato Pussycat
** The Hole Idea
** WesternAnimation/OneFroggyEvening (this one's debatable, since it got a sequel in 1995)
** Mixed Master
** Rocket-Bye Baby
** Three Little Bops
** A Waggily Tale
** To Itch His Own
** Mouse-Placed Kitten
** The Mouse That Jack Built is sort of this, as it stars radio personality Jack Benny as a mouse. He also appeared (as "Jack Bunny") in Malibu Beach Party
** High Note
** The Mouse on 57th Street
** Nelly's Folly
** Martian Through Georgia
** I Was a Teenage Thumb
** Now Hear This
** Bartholomew vs. The Wheel
** Senorella and the Glass Huarache
** Flying Circus
** Rabbit Stew and Rabbits Too! (though it was intended to be a series)
* OpenSesame: "Uh... open... sarsaparilla? Open Saskatchewan?"
** Also, "Abracadabra," and "Hocus Pocus," which transformed one of Bugs' villains (vampire Count Bloodcount, from 1963's ''Transylvania 6-5000'') into and out of his bat form, respectively. Bugs eventually found great joy in torturing the vampire with such linguistic madness as 'Abraca-pocus' and 'Hocus-cadabra', which caused the villain to transform into a half-bat, a half-man and various other combinations. "Newport News" turned him into Witch Hazel (Bugs: "Oh, brudder... I can do better than that!"), and "Walla Walla Washington" turned him into a two-headed vulture.
* OrMyNameIsnt: Subverted in "To Duck or Not to Duck": "There's something awfully screwy about this, or my name isn't Laddimore... and it isn't."
** Yosemite Sam does this several times as well, such as in "Mutiny on the Bunny" ("I'm-a sailin' with the tide, or my name ain't Shanghai Sam... and it is.") and in "Big House Bunny" ("You'll do fifty years, or my name ain't Sam Schultz!").
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Count Bloodcount in ''Transylvania 6-5000''.
* OutGambitted: Daffy, Elmer, and Yosemite Sam always get caught in this trope.
* OutlawCouple: Bunny and Claude
* OverlyLongGag: "Naughty But Mice": Sniffles repeatedly telling the electric shaver to stay put while he got the medicine. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that Sniffles was drunk.
* OverlyPolitePals: Mac and Tosh, the Goofy Gophers.
----
* MadLove: Pepé Le Pew, though there are some examples of this from the Bugs Bunny cartoons.
* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: In "From Hare to Heir", Yosemite Sam plays the nephew of a king who is desperate for money. Bugs comes by his castle offering him 1 million pounds if he can prove himself a man of mild temper (with penalties deducted from the sum for every time Sam loses his cool). After failing to control his fits of rage, Sam decides the easiest solution is to simply off Bugs and make it look like an accident. Needless to say, he fails in rather spectacular fashion.
* {{Malaproper}}: In "Thumb Fun", Daffy says he's going to get Porky slapped with a "habeas corpuscle".
** In "Daffy Doodles", he tells Porky to wait till [[UsefulNotes/JEdgarHoover J. Edgar Who's-Its]] hears about this.
** Bugs Bunny in "Roman Legion Hare" (which for some unknown reason has been left out of Cartoon Network's screenings of the cartoon):
-->'''Bugs:''' Like the Romans say, "E Pluribus Uranium!"
* MauriceChevalierAccent: French characters will always talk with this accent, like the villain Blacque Jacques Shellacque in ''WesternAnimation/WetHare''.
* MeatOVision
* MechanicalHorse: Or something along those lines is used briefly in "One More Time".
* MerchandiseDriven: Some of the theatrical shorts made in the 90s (like "Carrotblanca" and "Superior Duck") contain tons of cameo appearances by characters like Foghorn, Taz, Tweety, and Marvin. This was apparently done so Warner Bros. could sell more limited edition cels of those characters at their Studio Stores.
* MetronomicManMashing: The adorable little Chicken Hawk does this to Foghorn Leghorn OnceAnEpisode.
* MickeyMousing: So much so that there are musical accents to something as simple as characters blinking. Arguably, though, this is part of the charm of the music.
* MimeAndMusicOnlyCartoon: Many of their cartoons are dialogue free, or fairly close to it. Some examples:
** Any Road Runner short that isn't "Zip Zip Hooray" or "Road Runner a Go-Go" (the only vocal is RR's "beep beep!")
** Cat Feud (1958)
** Prest-o Change-o (1939), Curious Puppy (1939), Dog Gone Modern (1939), Snow Time For Comedy (1940), Stage Fright (1940) (all starring two dogs. Only vocals in "Dog Gone Modern" are the house welcoming the two dogs.)
** Double Chaser (1942)
** Good Night Elmer (1940)
** High Note (1960)
** Holiday For Shoestrings (1946)
** Much Ado About Nutting (1953)
** Peck Up Your Troubles (1945)
** The Bird Came C.O.D. (1942) (only vocal is "Mm-mm")
** Baton Bunny (1959)
** Rhapsody in Rivets (1941)
** Joe Glow the Firefly (1941)- only vocal is "GOOD NIGHT!" at the end.
** Rabbit Stew And Rabbits, Too (1969)
** No Barking (1954) - save for Tweety's lines at the very end.
** Mouse Warming (1952) (for the most part)
** Go Fly a Kit (1957)
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: "'''SCHULTZ'''!"
** Also, K-9 could count as this to Marvin.
* MindScrew: Some syndicated versions of "The Up-Standing Sitter" inexplicably replaced the 1948 Looney Tunes outro with the "Bugs In Drum" outro from "Hare Tonic" and "Baseball Bugs"... with the 1937 Merrie Melodies closing music rather than the 1941-1946 Looney Tunes closing music (also, Bugs' "And That's The End!" line is muted out). What the hell?
* MindYourStep
* MinoredInAssKicking: The professor in "By Word of Mouse"
* MirrorRoutine: In "The Prize Pest", Daffy and Porky (dressed in a frightening costume) briefly imitate each other's actions in a doorway.
--> '''Daffy''': Suffering catfish! I didn't realize I was ''that'' hideous! (realizes) I'm ''not''! (does a wild take, screams, and runs away)
** In "Attack of the Drones", Daffy does one with a replica robot. At the end of it, Daffy gets blasted anyway.
* MisplacedWildlife: The Chinese roadrunner in "War and Pieces," Playboy the Penguin on "Frigid Hare"
* MissingEpisode: While there aren't any shorts missing, many of the original prints containing their original title cards are lost. There's also an ending scene from ''The Stupid Cupid'' that's currently lost.
* MisterMuffykins: Petunia's dog in "Porky's Romance". The mean-spirited little beasty annoys Porky so much that [[spoiler:he ends the short by kicking it through the closing iris]].
* MixAndMatchCritter: The chicken/turtle hybrid from "The Good Egg".
* MoodSwinger: A frequent gag.
** In "Daffy Duck Hunt", Daffy pretends to be shot and wails "I'm-a goin', Iiiiii'm a goin'..." only to turn chipper: "Goodbye now!" In the same short, he emerges from the freezer dressed in a scarf:
--> '''Daffy''': What a trip. What a trip! Blizzard all the way. Snow twenty feet deep, but we had to get the serum through. It was mush, mush, mush all night. ''(grabs Barnyard Dawg and pushes him around the kitchen)'' Come on! Mush! Mush! Mush! Mush! Mush! ''(slams Dawg into the door)'' Suddenly the glacier cracks! There's a roar! Tons of ice! No escape! AAAGGGGHHH!!!!.... How's things been with ''you''?
** "Knighty Knight Bugs": When Bugs is informed he must retrieve the singing sword or be executed, he goes from laughing incredulously to crying.
* MoodWhiplash: Lampshaded in ''WesternAnimation/WhatsOperaDoc'':
-->'''Bugs Bunny:''' Well, what did you expect from an opera? A ''happy'' ending?
* MoodyMount: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBhlQgvHmQ0 Yosemite Sam's camel in "Sahara Hare"]] and his dragon in "Knighty Knight Bugs".
-->'''Sam''': "Whoa, dragon, WHOA!!"
* MotionBlur: Speedy, Road Runner, anyone who needed to leave/arrive in a hurry.
** In a host segment of ''The Bugs Bunny Show,'' Bugs demonstrates a cartoon "zip" out of and into a scene (complete with vibration to a stop upon entering), the zip-out in regular speed and in slow motion.
* MotorMouth: Sniffles the Mouse, at least in his later shorts.
** Foghorn Leghorn is a Motor Syrinx.
** Long (and deservedly) forgotten Little Blabbermouse (cartoon of the same name and "Shop, Look, And Listen").
** Shorty from "Rabbit's Kin". His voice is actually Mel Blanc's normal speaking voice, sped up to a high pitch and really fast speed.
* TheMovie: Quite a few, actually:
** ''Bugs Bunny Superstar'' (1975), a {{documentary}} narrated by Creator/OrsonWelles and featuring nine '40s cartoons in their entirety along with interviews of Freleng, Avery, and (especially) Clampett.
** ''The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie'' (aka '''The Great American Chase'') (1979), the first of several {{Compilation Movie}}s combining footage from vintage shorts with newly-animated bridging material. This one, directed by Chuck Jones and featuring only his cartoons, is "hosted" by Bugs Bunny from his mansion as he expounds on the history of "the chase" in animation.
** ''The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie'' (1981), directed by Friz Freleng and only featuring his work. It was broken into three separate stories (one was a remake of "Devil's Feud Cake", one was a crime drama parody, and the final was an awards ceremony), and was the first compilation to build a (more-or-less) coherent storyline by weaving old and new material together.
** ''Bugs Bunny's Third Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales'' (1982), directed by Freleng and mostly made of his work, but also featuring material from some Jones shorts. Unlike the previous entry, it consisted of one long story: Daffy and Bugs competing to be the best book salesman but constantly getting sidetracked on the way to their selling locations, with Bugs ending up forced to read stories to Yosimite Sam's bratty son. It was the first of the compilation films to feature Robert [=McKimson=]'s work (a brief clip of "Aqua Duck" is seen towards the end).
** ''Daffy Duck's Fantastic Island'' (1983): The [[SarcasmMode fan-favorite]] character combination of Daffy and Speedy also got a movie, built around a parody of ''FantasyIsland''.
** ''Daffy Duck's Quackbusters'' (1988), directed by Greg Ford and Terry Lennon, the last of the compilation movies and generally regarded as the best. It had the strongest plot (which was about Daffy opening a ghost-catching/exorcism company with Bugs and Porky) and the animators took care to imitate the old animators so the transition from bridging sequences to the classic cartoons was smoother. It's also the only Looney Tunes film to exclusively use Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn music for the bridging sequences. The rest used new music from a variety of composers.
** ''Film/SpaceJam'' (1996): The first fully original Looney Tunes film, [[RogerRabbitEffect combining animation and live action]]. See its entry for more info.
** ''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction'' (2003): Again, see its entry for more info. Of note, a planned series of new theatrical shorts being developed around this time was cancelled due to this film's lackluster box office performance.
* MovingBuildings: The episode "Designs for Leaving" has WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck outfit Elmer Fudd's home with modern gadgets. One of these is an elevator that lowers the second story... which crushes everything in the first story. Also, the BigRedButton that Elmer is warned not to push [[spoiler:lifts the entire house hundreds of feet up in the air, in case of tidal waves. And, Daffy has yet to install the little blue button to bring it back down]].
* MrImagination: Ralph Phillips, in "From A to Z-Z-Z-Z" and "Boyhood Daze"
* MultipleDemographicAppeal: Despite syndication packages in America and the rest of the world labeling the Looney Tunes as "kiddie fare," even going so far as to edit gags deemed too "adult." However, there are videos and [=DVDs=], both official and unofficial, that preserve these "adult" gags uncut for all to see.
* MundaneWish: The genie in "A-Lad in His Lamp" tries to prevent Bugs from making one of these. But Bugs gets so irritated with his constant interruptions of his wishes that he tells the genie to cut it out. Ironically, Bugs ends up wishing for a carrot, which is pretty mundane.
* MurderInc: ''WesternAnimation/CoalBlackAndDeSebbenDwarfs'' has a scene of the Queen calling "Murder Inc." to "black out So White." Murder Inc.'s rates for killing people are: $1.00 for killing anyone, 50 cents (half-price) for killing midgets, and, since the cartoon premiered around the time that America was involved in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, free for killing Japs.
** The rat-faced Mexican villain from 1938's "My Little Buckaroo" will put anybody on the spot for $2.75. Mothers-in-law: $2.50.
* MusicalEpisode: "Swooner Crooner".
** "Katnip Kollege".
* MustacheVandalism: Many, many times. One example:
** "Daffy Doodles" has Porky Pig as a policeman and Daffy Duck as a mustache vandal. When Daffy finally gets arrested and imprisoned at the end of the cartoon, Daffy tearfully repents and promises he'll never draw another mustache... he'll draw beards instead.
* MyCard: Wile E. Coyote's "Super Genius" card
** Owl Jolson's, too, in "I Love to Singa".
** The hotel manager in "Porky Pig's Feat" hands Daffy his card. Daffy punches it into paper dolls.
-->'''Daffy:''' You've had your coffee ration for this week, Robespierre!"
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone?: Elmer Fudd's reaction whenever he ''thinks'' he's finally killed Bugs. No matter how hard he's been trying throughout the episode to shoot Bugs he always breaks down in tears when he thinks he's finally done it, calling himself a murderer. Which calls into question why he's a hunter in the first place.
** The dog in ''Hare Ribbin''' (1944) goes through similar contrition after taking a bite out of the rigged Rabbit Sandwich. When he wails "I wish I were dead!", Bugs hands him a gun and he blows his brains out, only to rise, stop the iris out and say "This shouldn't happen to a dog!" (Clampett's director's cut of the cartoon has Bugs shoving the gun in the dog's mouth and pulling the trigger.)
** Another example done by Elmer in the end of WesternAnimation/WhatsOperaDoc.
* MythologyGag: The name of the high-rise building in which Porky lives in ''Porky's Pooch'' (1941): Termite Terrace. (Of note, all the backgrounds in the cartoon are live-action photographs.)
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: The ending of [[WesternAnimation/AllThisAndRabbitStew "All This And Rabbit Stew"]].
* NameDrop: This exchange from the Bugs Bunny cartoon ''French Rarebit'' (1951):
-->'''Bugs:''' Of course if you ''really'' want something good, you can't beat a good old Louisiana back bay bayou bunny bordelaise...à la Antoine.
-->'''Chef Francoise:''' À la Antoine?! You mean ''ze'' Antoine of New Orleans??
-->'''Bugs:''' I don't mean Antoine o' Flatbush!
** Antoine's actually exists in New Orleans. It's at 713 St. Louis St. and has been in business since 1840.
* NeckLift: Bruno the bear does it to WesternAnimation/BugsBunny in "Big Top Bunny". So does Gossamer (aka "Rudolph") in ''Hair-Raising Hare.''
* NegativeContinuity: Completely. In many series, characters meet each other for the first time in every cartoon, and any "facts" given about a character in one cartoon (like Elmer being a vegetarian in "Rabbit Fire") are for that cartoon only and aren't intended to carry over into subsequent instalments.
** In ''Lighter Than Hare'', Yosemite Sam is an alien with tons of robots whose trying, not to hunt Bugs Bunny, but abduct him. He also wears an astronaut suit and helmet instead of a cowboy hat, but otherwise looks exactly the same.
* NeverWakeUpASleepwalker: One short involved a Fox disguising itself as a Guard Dog using this trope to smuggle chickens out, counting on the real Guard Dog's fear of causing him to his advantage.
** Another, "The Unbearable Bear" featuring Sniffles the Mouse, involves a policeman chasing a burglar in his own home, but both parties trying to stay quiet because the policeman's wife is sleepwalking. Though it's more because they're both afraid of what she'll do to them if she wakes up.
* NewJobAsThePlotDemands:
** Porky frequently switches jobs, as does Daffy.
** Also, this is partially Yosemite Sam's whole schtick. While he started out as a Western outlaw, he later became whatever antagonist the short needed (but always kept his tiny bandit mask).

* NewspaperDating: Elmer in "The Old, Gray Hare"
%%Nightmare Fuel examples belong in their own section. Do not post them here.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Some RealLife [[BigBad Big Bads]] were humiliated -- particularly around World War II, when all of their cartoons had the characters fighting against UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, Joseph Goebbels and his Nazi regime or Japanese soldiers, like in ''WesternAnimation/TokioJokio'' and ''WesternAnimation/BugsBunnyNipsTheNips''. In a more friendly fashion, Hollywood celebrities such as Creator/HumphreyBogart, Music/FrankSinatra, and Music/AlJolson were often lightly mocked.
** Prior to Creator/AbbottAndCostello being caricatured as cats (later mice) as "Babbitt & Catstello," Creator/LaurelAndHardy were caricatured as crows in pursuit of a grasshopper in ''A Hop, Skip And A Chump.''
** Music/BingCrosby tried to stop release of "Bingo Crosbyana" (1936, Freleng) because it depicted him as a vainglorious cowardly fly.
** Friz Freleng is caricatured as the astronomer who loses his mind after seeing what he saw in his telescope in ''The Hasty Hare.''
** The Gremlins in Bob Clampett's ''WesternAnimation/RussianRhapsody'' are caricatures of Warner cartoon staffers.
** The tour guide character in "Little Blabbermouse" and "Shop Look and Listen" is a caricature of Creator/WCFields.
** The two castaways in "Waikiki Wabbit" (1943) were caricatures of animator Ken Harris and storyman Michael Maltese. The two even furnished the voices to their cartoon counterparts.
** Jackie Gleason and Art Carney, as their Series/TheHoneymooners characters Ralph Cramden and Ed Norton, were caricatured as hobos in ''Half Fare Hare''. In fact, they Honeymooners cast were caricatured as mice in Bob [=McKimson=]'s three Honeymousers cartoons ("The Honeymousers," "Cheese It--The Cat" and "Mice Follies").
** "People Are Bunny" has a caricature of Art Linkletter, then the host of the NBC game show ''People Are Funny'' and CBS's ''Art Linkletter's House Party''. Here he's called Art Lamplighter.
** "Person to Bunny" had Edward R. Burrows, a parody of famous journalist [[Film/GoodNightAndGoodLuck Edward R. Murrow]].
* NoEnding: Quite common - a lot of the shorts were just abruptly cut in the middle of the action.
** In the case of "The Heckling Hare" it was ExecutiveMeddling.
** In ''Hare-Um Scare-Um'' (1939), hunter John Sourpuss tells proto-Bugs Bunny that "I can whip you and your whole family!" A bunch of bunnies arrive to take him up on the challenge—then the film cuts off. In the original ending, the looney rabbits beat Sourpuss up on-camera, eventually driving him looney himself. Though no hard evidence has been found, it's often speculated that the scene was deleted for being too similar to the ending of ''Daffy Duck And Egghead'' one year prior. The footage has been restored to the cartoon for Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 2.
** "Ride Him, Bosko!" is probably the standout example; [[BreakingtheFourthWall the animators]] just [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere up and leave]] without showing if Bosko rescues Honey or not.
* NoFourthWall: ''Every single'' cartoon breaks the fourth wall at last once. WesternAnimation/DuckAmuck is one of the most famous and insane examples ever made.
* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: Is used quite often whenever a female AbhorrentAdmirer goes after one of the male characters. Was also used in three Pepé Le Pew cartoons (1949's "For Scent-imental Reasons," 1952's "Little Beau Pepé ," and 1959's "Really Scent"), proving to modern audiences that, yeah, Pepé may be seen as a "rapist," but he's not a KarmaHoudini (in those instances at least).
* NoMoreForMe: In "Who's Kitten Who?", Hippety Hopper hops by a man on the sidewalk. The man immediately drops a bottle of alcohol from his pocket and nervously walks away.
** When a shrunk-to-the-size-of-a-mouse Gossamer in "Water, Water Every Hare" enters a mousehole, kicks the mouse out and puts up a sign that says "I quit!," the mouse drops a bottle of booze and says "I quit, too!"
** Lampshaded by Daffy in "Rabbit Seasoning" after he pokes out of the hole he and Bugs are hiding in and Elmer blasts him:
-->'''Bugs:''' You go up and act as a decoy and lure him away.
-->'''Daffy:''' (''dazed'') No more for me, thankth! I'm drivin'!
-->'''Bugs:''' Ah well, like they say, never send a duck to do a rabbit's job.
* NoOSHACompliance: Ralph is a wolf who's job is to eat sheep. Sam is a guard dog, whose job is to prevent Ralph from eating sheep. They both use the same punch clock, but the activities usually involve Ralph being injured at the end of the shift. [[{{Understatement}} Not that this is the only example]].
* NonMammalMammaries: Hatta Mari in "Plane Daffy"
* NonSequiturThud: Lots of them, some of which are the funniest and most memorable lines in the shorts. Daffy seems to be the most common victim.
--> '''Daffy''': And the lights went out, all over the world! ("Stupor Duck")
--> '''Daffy''': Starkle starkle, little twink, up above the skating rink! ("Swing Ding Amigo")
--> '''Daffy''': No more for me, thanks! I'm drivin'! (Rabbit Fire)
** Visual non-sequiturs: The penguin trio of "The Penguin Parade" (1938) stop their song midway to make grotesque faces at us; Bugs making a fruit salad on Elmer's head in ''WesternAnimation/RabbitOfSeville''.
* NoSympathy: In "Greedy for Tweety":
--> '''Nurse Granny''': And how's the doggie's limb this morning? ''(Granny pats Hector's leg, who emits a pained groan)'' Oh, still tender, eh? Well, maybe that'll teach you to stop chasing the pussycat. ''(to Sylvester)'' And how's the... pussyfoot today? ''(pats Sylvester's leg, who also groans)'' Oh, still sensitive? Well, maybe now you'll leave that little birdie alone. I hope this teaches both of you a lesson.
* NotRareOverThere: In "The Bee-deviled Bruin", Papa Bear nearly gets himself killed trying to get honey from a hive in a tree outside his home. Eventually, he gives up and asks for a bottle of ketchup. Mama Bear goes to get it... from a cupboard filled to the brim with jars of honey.
* NotSoRemote: In "Big House Bunny," Sam Schultz eagerly digs his way out of his cell and up into what appears to be a lush jungle. In fact, it's the collection of potted plants house in the Warden's office.
* ObviousStuntDouble: Used in the short "A Star is Bored", where Daffy is Bugs' stunt double for any dangerous scene. He's dressed in a rabbit outfit but you can still see his duck face.
* OffModel: Not uncommon, particularly in Creator/BobClampett's shorts, where he gave the animators leeway in deviating from the model sheets in favor of a specific action or expression. However, there was plenty of unintentional off model, such as one scene from "Hare Lift", where Yosemite Sam briefly turns into a robot when he is wearing his parachute! Explanation: As Sam got smaller and smaller plummeting to the ground as the parachute opened, the animation of the automatic pilot, who abandoned the plane just moments before, was used.
** The size difference between Daffy and Speedy seemed to fluctuate wildly, especially in the Alex Lovy-era shorts. [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/looneytunes/images/3/37/Skyscraper_Caper_SS_2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20131024024355 One particularly glaring instance]] is in "Skyscraper Caper" when Daffy walks by Speedy's house; Speedy is drawn ''much'' larger than he should be.
* OffscreenTeleportation: The minah bird is a master of this.
* OhCrap: Wile E. Coyote, Private Snafu, Ralph Wolf, and ThoseWackyNazis do this a lot. Even Bugs Bunny gets a few every now and then.
* OneShotCharacter: Many, many examples. In fact, Merrie Melodies started as a revolving door of one-shot cartoons and characters. Here are just some examples:
** Meatless Flyday (featuring a slap-happy spider trying catch a fly)
** Fresh Airedale
** The Foxy Duckling
** A Hick, a Slick, and a Chick
** Bone Sweet Bone
** Corn Plastered
** Early to Bet (The Gambling Bug was only seen once)
** Sleepy Time Possum
** Rabbit's Kin (Pete Puma was only seen once in the original LT shorts)
** Much Ado About Nutting
** Wild Wife
** Goo Goo Goliath
** Pizzicato Pussycat
** The Hole Idea
** WesternAnimation/OneFroggyEvening (this one's debatable, since it got a sequel in 1995)
** Mixed Master
** Rocket-Bye Baby
** Three Little Bops
** A Waggily Tale
** To Itch His Own
** Mouse-Placed Kitten
** The Mouse That Jack Built is sort of this, as it stars radio personality Jack Benny as a mouse. He also appeared (as "Jack Bunny") in Malibu Beach Party
** High Note
** The Mouse on 57th Street
** Nelly's Folly
** Martian Through Georgia
** I Was a Teenage Thumb
** Now Hear This
** Bartholomew vs. The Wheel
** Senorella and the Glass Huarache
** Flying Circus
** Rabbit Stew and Rabbits Too! (though it was intended to be a series)
* OpenSesame: "Uh... open... sarsaparilla? Open Saskatchewan?"
** Also, "Abracadabra," and "Hocus Pocus," which transformed one of Bugs' villains (vampire Count Bloodcount, from 1963's ''Transylvania 6-5000'') into and out of his bat form, respectively. Bugs eventually found great joy in torturing the vampire with such linguistic madness as 'Abraca-pocus' and 'Hocus-cadabra', which caused the villain to transform into a half-bat, a half-man and various other combinations. "Newport News" turned him into Witch Hazel (Bugs: "Oh, brudder... I can do better than that!"), and "Walla Walla Washington" turned him into a two-headed vulture.
* OrMyNameIsnt: Subverted in "To Duck or Not to Duck": "There's something awfully screwy about this, or my name isn't Laddimore... and it isn't."
** Yosemite Sam does this several times as well, such as in "Mutiny on the Bunny" ("I'm-a sailin' with the tide, or my name ain't Shanghai Sam... and it is.") and in "Big House Bunny" ("You'll do fifty years, or my name ain't Sam Schultz!").
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Count Bloodcount in ''Transylvania 6-5000''.
* OutGambitted: Daffy, Elmer, and Yosemite Sam always get caught in this trope.
* OutlawCouple: Bunny and Claude
* OverlyLongGag: "Naughty But Mice": Sniffles repeatedly telling the electric shaver to stay put while he got the medicine. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that Sniffles was drunk.
* OverlyPolitePals: Mac and Tosh, the Goofy Gophers.
