Looney Tunes are AWESOME.

[That Matt Guy]

I love all of them, and like all of us I'm sure, have watched them a billion times. It's really hard to pick out just one or two that I really like, but here are a couple.

I just started buying the Golden Collection DVD sets. The earlier releases are now a quarter the price they were on release. The archive begins!

Probably not, Blanc's head would have exploded doing those to very similar voices talking in the same toon.

I'd say about when Chuck Jones became a bigger and bigger director for the LT... Daffy's original inception was a total goof ball (the Clampett cartoons), and as Chuck took over the character, he turned him into something I'd liken to a has been celebrity trying to stay on top, while someone else takes his spotlight (Bugs). Bugs was also absolutely Looney at that time too, and not the sly "Dress up as a woman to save my own tail" kind he grew into.

BTW. Have Daffy and Sylvester ever appeared together or teamed up?

There WAS one... it's pretty rare and obscure (as it was one of the 1960's Friz Freling LT shorts made a while after Warner Bros's animation studios closed down, under his Depatie-Freling studio)... but there was one where Daffy and Sylverster are after a special egg that got mixed up into a pile of regular ones (I can't remember if it was a gold egg painted white or what ever else it could have been). If I could remember the name (It had the word Yeggs in the title) I'd look up more info on it.

to be honest I liked Daffy the best as the greedy oppertunist, and Bugs as the slick wiseass dressing up in drag to fool people!!

this one is one of my favs EightBall Rabbit:



this this is the first time Bugs is paired up with that adorable penguin. My favorite quotes in this short?

Hoboken?! OOOOOOoooohhhhh diiiiiiieeeeen' again!

I leave you alone for a few minutes and what happens? You end up on the menu

this one is a classic Southern Fried Rabbit I loved how bugs used Yosemety Sam's rasicm to to get the best of him



This had to have had one of the best and most hilarious endings to a Luney Tunes short ever

and my all time favorite I don' think this needs any description, it by far the best short ever IMO Hillbilly Hare:

Here is a clip of the short your talking about, but I can't remember the name of it either.

One of the best episodes in Looney Tunes history, poor Yosemite Sam he just can't win with those cannons

Ah, yes... that's the one. I wanna call it "Scrambled Yeggs." I only saw it once. Usually from that era, the Speedy Gonzales cartoons were replayed more (before the unpleasantness with PC groups)

EDIT- I just found out the titleThe Yolks on You. man, I am WAAAAAY off... turns out, this cartoon's from 1980, not the 60's.

I wonder how Mel did feel about using that similar voice. Of course, we all know his Daffy Duck is slightly sped up a little. Seems his Daffy's lisp is a little less wet and sloppy.

I really like how Joe Alasky (the usual recast for both characters) differentiates between the two, if you actually sit down and compaire them. His Sylvester is a little more gruff and lower pitched, while his Daffy seems to be just a slight bit nasal and airier. Of course, that's something that's hard to describe in a vocal sense.

Anyway, I just picked up Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, and I have to say, the jokes are a lot more sophisticatred (and even dirty) than I remember... 2 of my favorite examples are:

In "It's a Plaid Plaid Plaid Plaid World" when the Scottsmen lose their kilts, they have to wear actual dresses and skirts. Angus MacRorrrrrrry mumbles, "Ain't that a cryin' shame?" to which an old Scottsman, trying to hear better says, "WHAT?!?! Did he say Crying Game?"

And "The Cat who Knew Too Much" when Granny arrives back from the Mardis Gras parade with beads saying, "The things I had to do to get these." Dang, that Granny is a slut.

Oh man, I can't begin to explain my love for Looney Tunes. I think the comedy is so great and stands up so well against time because these cartoons weren't made for kids specifically, they were made for theater-goers, which would be anybody. Between my brother and myself we have all 6 of the Golden Collections, and for anyone thinking about getting them, it's definitely worth it if you enjoy the cartoons. These aren't just rush job slapped together sets, WB spent a lot of time and money restoring the cartoons and trying to find original title cards instead of the blue ribbon titles that replaced many of them. They're also loaded with documentaries and commentaries on lots of the cartoons. It's a shame that they've canceled the golden collections after this last 6th volume came out, but they did make a statement saying they would continue to release them but in what format and on what schedule is anybody's guess.

BTW. Have Daffy and Sylvester ever appeared together or teamed up?

Just one more thing to add to this...there is another 1950 cartoon The Scarlet Pumpernickel that teams these two against one another, but not in their traditional characterizations
