Catch Phrase / Looney Tunes

• General
  • More often than not, the exact same quotes from both celebrities and popular movies of the time would be referenced verbatim by different characters in several different cartoons.
  • "Ahhhh, shaddup!": Often used by Forghorn Leghorn and Sylvester, but there are occasions where other characters (Porky, Yosemite Sam, and a few minor characters) will use it for themselves.
  • "He don't know me very well do he?"
  • "Mother..!"
• Bugs Bunny:
  • "What's up, doc?"
  • Lampshaded in The Looney Tunes Show, when the final question to win a game show is what Bugs' catchphrase is, and Daffy can't remember it.
    Daffy: That's your catchphrase? "What's up, Doc?" What does that even mean? We don't even know any doctors!
  • And lampshaded again when Bugs goes to see a doctor about his anxiety.
    Doctor: Don't say it.
    Bugs: What's up, Doc?
    Doctor: You said it.
  • "I knew I should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque."
  • "Ain't I a stinker?"
  • "Of course, you know/realize this means war." (Stolen from Groucho Marx)
  • "What a maroon"

• Daffy Duck:
  • "Woo hoo woo hoo woo hoo"
  • "You're despicable!"
  • "Anyone for tennis?" (An Abandoned Catchphrase used in a trio of Chuck Jones cartoons made during the duck's transitional phase, The Ducksters, Rabbit Fire, and Drip-Along Daffy.)
• Elmer Fudd:
  • "Be vewy vewy quiet. I'm hunting wabbits."
  • "Aw shucks."
  • "You wascally wabbit!"
  • (after seeing through Bugs' disguises) "Hey you're that scwewy wabbit!"
• Foghorn Leghorn:
  • Foghorn is notorious for adding I say, in the middle of his sentences, especially when addressing someone.
  • "That's a joke, son!" (This catchphrase was one of many character traits borrowed from "Senator Claghorn," a character on Fred Allen's radio show played by Kenny Delmar.),
  • "Nice boy but he doesn't listen to a word you say".
  • "Look at me when I'm talking to you boy/son/gal!"
  • "Pay attention boy/son/gal"

  • "I'm a chicken hawk. I'm after chicken."
  • "Are you gonna come quietly or do I hafta muss ya up?
• Marvin the Martian:
  • "That makes me very angry."
  • "Isn't that lovely?"
  • "Ohhhh, myyyyyyyyyyy...."

  • "Sufferin' succotash." - Sylvester (Occasionally used by Daffy as well.)
• Yosemite Sam:
  • Sam usually declares who he (or his alter ego of the week) with a pretty descriptive adjectives. He's also prone to spitting out Angrish when he's miserable, especially in later cartoons.
