Awesome / Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner

• In "Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z", the Coyote dons an Acme Bat-Man's outfit and jumps off a cliff, hoping to fly. At first it looks like it will have the expected consequences, with Wile E. panicking as he falls. But then, he gets the hang of it, locks his arms in an outstretched position, and the Bat-Man wings work perfectly, with the Coyote flying like a bat out of hell. Of course, he gets overconfident, fails to look where he's going, and crashes into a cliff face, trashing the wings and resulting in him taking yet another fall. But for one brief moment, an Acme product worked!
  • Later in the same short, the Coyote attaches a pair of bicycle handlebars to an Acme Jet Engine.... and again, it works. Of course, it fails in the end, due mainly to Wile E.'s own foolishness, but it was great while it lasted.
• In "Zipping Along", the opening of the short is pretty awesome as the Road Runner happily races a high-speed passenger train on a set of tracks parallel to the desert road.
• One of the Beep Beep, The Road Runner comic book stories had Wile E. actually catch the Road Runner (and his sons) by installing an ice cube maker in a suit of armor on a scorchingly hot day and waiting for them to tire out in the heat. Of course, the birds manage to escape in the end.
• Awesome Music: Barbara Cameron's incredibly catchy theme song from the 1966 TV series.
• How about the simple fact that, no matter how spectacularly he fails, how many times he's foiled by his own gadgets, how much the Road Runner torments his failures to no end, how much he is thoroughly, utterly screwed by the universe and even the laws of physics themselves, the Coyote never quits?!
• In "Tired and Feathered", the Coyote actually catches the Roadrunner by its tail feathers. It's only brief, but it's not often he catches the bird without even using an Acme product, which don't even help him in anyway.
