** In an episode of ''TheSylvesterAndTweetyMysteries'' Tweety flies into a bird house restroom labeled, "Men". Tweety sticks his head out briefly to explain, "See, folks! I ''am'' a boy!"

** It should be noted that, unlike other variations of the chase formula such as ''TomAndJerry'' (where the cat was frequently granted LaserGuidedKarma when the victim rather than the bully) Sylvester nearly ''always'' lost, whether his protagonist instigated the feud or not. Ironically the few times he was the victor of the short was when he was ''dishing'' out the ComedicSociopathy (eg. heckling Porky or Elmer in cartoons such as "Kitty Kornered" or "Back Alley Oproar").

* ComedicSociopathy / ForTheEvulz: When Sylvester appeared without Tweety, he sometimes was made a helpless victim of an evil VillainProtagonist. In "WesternAnimation/TreeForTwo", two dogs decide to beat up Sylvester for no reason, although the big one at least gets his comeuppance when he encounters a wild panther instead of Sylvester. Even more disturbing as far as victimization of Sylvester goes is the unpleasant "Canned Feud". In this one, Sylvester's owners go on vacation and forget to put him out. Sylvester finds a cupboard full of canned cat food--but the only can opener is in the possession of an evil mouse, who denies Sylvester the can opener ''for no damn reason'', presumably to starve him to death.

[[caption-width-right:259:Syl and Tweet, in an all too typical scene.]]
'''''Sylvester the Cat and Tweety Bird''''' are two of the most well known characters in the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes and [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Merrie Melodies]] stable. They had dozens of cartoons together, with Tweety encountering Sylvester at least 48 times during their heyday.
Obviously, these shorts have achieved much popularity, second only to the [[BugsBunny big]] [[DaffyDuck three]] [[PorkyPig stars]] of WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes. One version of the classic series ''[[TheBugsBunnyRoadRunnerShow The Bugs Bunny Show]]'' even gave Tweety Bird top billing along with Bugs in "The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show". They were even popular enough to get their own TV SpinOff, ''WesternAnimation/TheSylvesterAndTweetyMysteries''. Tweety also recieved his own DirectToVideo movie, ''WesternAnimation/TweetysHighFlyingAdventure''.
Nowadays, the characters aren't quite as active, but are still a central part of the Looney Tunes cast, currently making appearances in ''TheLooneyTunesShow''.

!!Tropes:
* AntiVillain: Sylvester.
* ArtEvolution: Tweety originally was a pink, featherless baby bird, but the Hays Office insisted that he don a yellow feather coat, due to objections of Tweety being "naked"--and yet they had no problems with PorkyPig not wearing pants!
** In his initial appearences Sylvester was intended to resemble a baggy-pants comedian with a round belly, a low sagging pair of hips and an overly large red nose. This was toned down later, as the early design was hard to animate.
* AscendedToCarnivorism: One short in which Sylvester and Tweety are SnowedIn features a mouse who hasn't eaten in so long he "forgot what food looks like." He takes one look at Sylvester and decides to have him for dinner.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Tweety. ''Film/SpaceJam'' even demonstrated that he can still slip into this time and time again.
* BlackComedy: Used unabashadly in "Satan's Waitin'".
* BreakoutCharacter: Both Granny and the bulldog character (later coined as Hector) made occasional appearances in initial shorts, and gradually became as much mainstream as the main duo. They are near equally prominant in ''SylvesterAndTweetyMysteries''.
* TheCameo: Tweety cameos twice in Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Granny is seemlingly harmless, but is much smarter and stronger than she looks.
* DemotedToExtra: Tweety became less active in later shorts, the main bulk of which revolved more around a bodyguard or alternate adversary guarding him from Sylvester (usually Granny or Hector).
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Tweety in his earliest appearances was a sadistic trickster who actively fought back against his aggressors. Once Freleng took over direction of the character, Tweety became a genuinely innocent, very passive character.
** the Proto-Tweety never had a name in the cartoons he appeared in, but on some of Clampett's model sheets his name was given as "Orson" a reference to Orson Welles.
* FireAndBrimstoneHell: As seen in "Satan's Waitin'".
* HarmlessVillain: Sylvester, at least in the shorts with Tweety.
* HiddenDepths: Despite Tweety becoming softer, fans still speculate that he's still a sadistic being on the inside who takes pleasure in seeing Sylvester get hurt.
* InvincibleHero: Tweety. Though he had a slightly more vulnerable streak than most other WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes protagonists, he was one of very few to come out the victor in ''every'' appearance he made.
* LightFlickerTeleportation: "Greedy For Tweety" did this: Sylvester is in a hospital bed and can't move, having been given sleeping pills. Every time he opens and closes his eyes, the dog appears closer and closer, wielding a club. It's prime NightmareFuel.
* LongRunner
* NeverMessWithGranny: Might very well be the TropeCodifier.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Babbit and Catsello from "A Tale of Two Kitties" are shameless parodies of AbbottAndCostello.
* PingPongNaivete: Just how innocent Tweety is in his dealings with Sylvester is part of the gag. Granny's awareness of Sylvester antagonising Tweety also varies from short to short.

[[caption-width-right:259:Syl and Tweet, in an all too typical scene.]]
'''''Sylvester the Cat and Tweety Bird''''' are two of the most well known characters in the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes and [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Merrie Melodies]] stable. They had dozens of cartoons together, with Tweety encountering Sylvester at least 48 times during their heyday.
Obviously, these shorts have achieved much popularity, second only to the [[BugsBunny big]] [[DaffyDuck three]] [[PorkyPig stars]] of WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes. One version of the classic series ''[[TheBugsBunnyRoadRunnerShow The Bugs Bunny Show]]'' even gave Tweety Bird top billing along with Bugs in "The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show". They were even popular enough to get their own TV SpinOff, ''WesternAnimation/TheSylvesterAndTweetyMysteries''. Tweety also recieved his own DirectToVideo movie, ''WesternAnimation/TweetysHighFlyingAdventure''.
Nowadays, the characters aren't quite as active, but are still a central part of the Looney Tunes cast, currently making appearances in ''TheLooneyTunesShow''.

!!Tropes:
* AntiVillain: Sylvester.
* ArtEvolution: Tweety originally was a pink, featherless baby bird, but the Hays Office insisted that he don a yellow feather coat, due to objections of Tweety being "naked"--and yet they had no problems with PorkyPig not wearing pants!
** In his initial appearences Sylvester was intended to resemble a baggy-pants comedian with a round belly, a low sagging pair of hips and an overly large red nose. This was toned down later, as the early design was hard to animate.
* AscendedToCarnivorism: One short in which Sylvester and Tweety are SnowedIn features a mouse who hasn't eaten in so long he "forgot what food looks like." He takes one look at Sylvester and decides to have him for dinner.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Tweety. ''Film/SpaceJam'' even demonstrated that he can still slip into this time and time again.
* BlackComedy: Used unabashadly in "Satan's Waitin'".
* BreakoutCharacter: Both Granny and the bulldog character (later coined as Hector) made occasional appearances in initial shorts, and gradually became as much mainstream as the main duo. They are near equally prominant in ''SylvesterAndTweetyMysteries''.
* TheCameo: Tweety cameos twice in Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Granny is seemlingly harmless, but is much smarter and stronger than she looks.
* DemotedToExtra: Tweety became less active in later shorts, the main bulk of which revolved more around a bodyguard or alternate adversary guarding him from Sylvester (usually Granny or Hector).
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Tweety in his earliest appearances was a sadistic trickster who actively fought back against his aggressors. Once Freleng took over direction of the character, Tweety became a genuinely innocent, very passive character.
** the Proto-Tweety never had a name in the cartoons he appeared in, but on some of Clampett's model sheets his name was given as "Orson" a reference to Orson Welles.
* FireAndBrimstoneHell: As seen in "Satan's Waitin'".
* HarmlessVillain: Sylvester, at least in the shorts with Tweety.
* HiddenDepths: Despite Tweety becoming softer, fans still speculate that he's still a sadistic being on the inside who takes pleasure in seeing Sylvester get hurt.
* InvincibleHero: Tweety. Though he had a slightly more vulnerable streak than most other WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes protagonists, he was one of very few to come out the victor in ''every'' appearance he made.
* LightFlickerTeleportation: "Greedy For Tweety" did this: Sylvester is in a hospital bed and can't move, having been given sleeping pills. Every time he opens and closes his eyes, the dog appears closer and closer, wielding a club. It's prime NightmareFuel.
* LongRunner
* NeverMessWithGranny: Might very well be the TropeCodifier.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Babbit and Catsello from "A Tale of Two Kitties" are shameless parodies of AbbottAndCostello.
* PingPongNaivete: Just how innocent Tweety is in his dealings with Sylvester is part of the gag. Granny's awareness of Sylvester antagonising Tweety also varies from short to short.
* SamusIsAGirl: Given Tweety's falsetto voice, many are the people who ''still'' don't know he's a boy. Despite that he's been seen swooning over women.
** It doesn't help in almost every foreign-language dubbed version, Tweety is voiced by women who sometimes don't bother to make him sound ''remotely'' male.
** Thanks to Tweety's notorious history of this, ''TheLooneyTunesShow'' decided to make a gag out of giving him an AmbiguousGender. ''Sylvester'' doesn't even know what gender Tweety is until he's [[GenderReveal told in a whisper]], at which point he exclaims, "[[TheUnreveal I was wrong]]!"
** In an episode of ''TheSylvesterAndTweetyMysteries'' Tweety flies into a bird house restroom labeled, "Men". Tweety sticks his head out briefly to explain, "See, folks! I ''am'' a boy!"
* {{Satan}}: A bulldog version of him appears in "Satan's Waitin".
* TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation
** TheDarkAgeOfAnimation
** TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation
** TheMillenniumAgeOfAnimation
* VillainProtagonist: Sylvester, in his shorts with Tweety.
* WartimeCartoon: A Tale of Two Kitties has a Victory Garden appear, Tweety sicks Anti-Aircraft cannons on Catsello in the ending, and tells the duo to '''TURN OFF THAT LIGHT'''.
* WordOfGod: Mel Blanc described the difference between Sylvester and Daffy Duck's voices by saying "Daffy is an impression of a Jewish comedian, while Sylvester is more gentile."
* WriteWhoYouKnow: Creator/BobClampett apparently based Tweety's original design off of his own baby picture.
