Carrotblanca: A straight-up parody of the classic movie, probably the funniest thing in it is that Looney Tunes are so barren of female characters that it has to have Bugs romance Penelope Pussycat. Tweety, your Peter Lorre isn't as funny as you think it is. #looneytunestubi
Chariots of Fur: Chuck Jones does Coyote and Roadrunner to a classical-flavored score. The signs are starting to get a bit much. Might as well be talking. I did like the instant road gag, though. #looneytunestubi
Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers: Pretty much what it sounds like, as Greg Ford takes on cheap TV animation. Daffy filled with bullet holes is genuinely horrific, and I also like Bugs being chronically overbooked. #looneytunestubi
(Blooper) Bunny: Daffy, Elmer and Sam get together to celebrate Bugs' 51 1/2st anniversary. We then cut to earlier in then day to see how many takes it took. Very meta, filled with in-jokes, this is possibly the first WB cartoon meant for hardcore fans. #looneytunestubi
Box Office Bunny: Bugs has a cineplex built over his home, and ends up being chased by usher Elmer Fudd. They then run into Daffy. Jeff Bergman is now the voice of most major characters. I liked Daffy avoiding the "Duck Season" stuff for once. #looneytunestubi
The Night of the Living Duck: An homage to Clampett's Great Piggy Bank Robbery, Daffy knocks himself out by accident and ends up a crooner to an audience of monsters. The song, with vocals by Mel Torme, is the big highlight. Mel Blanc's final WB cartoon before his death. #looneytunestubi
Soup or Sonic: From the Bugs Bunny's Bustin' Out All Over TV special, and easily the best Roadrunner short post-64, and maybe the best post-69 short. A really classic cartoon, this ends with the Coyote finally catching the Roadrunner... sort of. LOTS of held-up signs in this. #looneytunestubi
Bugs Bunny's Christmas Carol: Part of the Bugs Bunny's Looney Christmas Tales TV special, this has Yosemite Sam as Scrooge, which fits less well than you'd expect. Bugs has to rig the ghost haunting, and Sam's change of heart is very unbelievable. #looneytunestubi
Snow Excuse: Tubi, why? Why have one more 60s Daffy/Speedy short out of order? Sigh. Speedy is freezing in the snowy mountains and needs wood. Daffy has wood, but is 60s Daffy. Has a very awkward "if you can't beat em" ending that is at least vaguely interesting. #looneytunestubi
The Duxorcist: Greg Ford's Daffy short from 1987, the first theatrical short for the Looney Tunes since 1969. Daffy is a supernatural expert called in to exorcize a gorgeous female duck, who is possessed by spirits. A fantastic cartoon, with a Daffy that isn't wacky or greedy. #looneytunestubi
The Yolks on You: From the Daffy Duck's Easter Egg-citement TV special. Miss Prissy lays a gold egg, and Daffy and Sylvester fight over it. Honestly, seeing a cartoon starring Daffy and Sylvester after all these years is pretty unique. Nice Foghorn prelude too. #looneytunestubi
Portrait of the Artist as a Young Bunny: From the Bugs Bunny's Bustin' Out All Over TV special, this is Chuck Jones remaking Bob Clampett's The Old Grey Hare, though I think if you said that to his face you would regret it. Elmer's cork machine gun is a scream. #looneytunestubi
The Chocolate Chase: From the Daffy Duck's Easter Egg-citement TV special. Just what we needed in 1980, another Daffy/Speedy cartoon. Mostly awful, but I did enjoy Daffy's happiness at the "symbol of authority", his little hat. #looneytunestubi
Daffy Flies North: From the Daffy Duck's Easter Egg-citement TV special. Daffy tries various ways to not have to fly north, settling eventually on a horse. The horse, though, does not want to. The animation for this definitely reminds you it's cheap. At least Daffy isn't angry. #looneytunestubi
Spaced Out Bunny: From the Bugs Bunny's Bustin' Out All Over TV special. The first time Marvin has been named, believe it or not. I kind of prefer the cartoon before Marvin shows up, when it's Bugs being incredibly silly around nature. #looneytunestubi
Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24½th Century: A cut-down version of the segment from Daffy Duck's Thanks-for-Giving Special, missing about 3 minutes. Still funny, though I prefer Daffy when he's doing egotistical roleplay than when he's being a coward or shooting at Porky. #looneytunestubi
Fright Before Christmas: This should be Bob McKimson's Christmas short, but he had passed away, so Friz Freleng directs the Tasmanian Devil for the first time. Taz accidentally becomes Santa and visits Bugs and his nephew. Clyde's list for Santa is fantastic. #looneytunestubi
Freeze Frame: We're now in 1979, and Chuck Jones is making Coyote/Roadrunner cartoons again. This was part of the Bugs Bunny's Looney Christmas Tales TV special. The Coyotre chases the Roadrunner into the snowy mountains. Love the dogs. #looneytunestubi
Shamrock and Roll: The final Merlin the Magic Mouse cartoon, and the only one where he's not in control. He and Second Banana are outwitted by a leprechaun. Feels off given the rest of the series. Still, it got in the old "Oh, really?" "No, O'Reilly" joke. #looneytunestubi
Rabbit Stew and Rabbits Too!: Another attempt by Alex Lovy to do new characters, but he left, so McKimson finished it. Why use these two when you have Bugs Bunny and the Coyote? Or Roadrunner and the Coyote for that matter. An incredibly pointless cartoon. #looneytunestubi
Fistic Mystic: Merlin and Second Banana end up in a Western town, where they fight the tough guy in a boxing match. Second Banana far more talkative here, sounding like the tough guy he is. Merlin leans more into WC Fields, too. #looneytunestubi
Hippydrome Tiger: Cool Cat and Colonel Rimfire invade Le Mans. Rimfire's elephant is somehow now a thinking robot rather than just a vehicle. Best part of the short is that the reruns changed the title to 'Hippodrome Tiger' to avoid seeming like they supported hippies. #looneytunestubi
Feud with a Dude: Hatfields and McCoys are fighting again, and Merlin the Magic Mouse manages to unite them... against him. Honestly, this wasn't half bad. Again, I like how Merlin is a WC Fields sham magician who can in fact do real magic. #looneytunestubi
3 Ring Wing-Ding: Cool Cat and Colonel Rimfire in a circus. Rimfire's last appearance chronologically, though Tubi's not chronological, so... I did like the break in case of fire where they just get a bucket of water to the face. #looneytunestubi
Bugged by a Bee: This still isn't great, but Bob McKimson does Cool Cat MUCH better than Alex Lovy. He's occasionally cool. Very occasionally. Cool Cat, a tiger, attends a human college, where the human cheerleaders all root for him. The bee does all the heavy lifting. #looneytunestubi
Flying Circus: Barely a cartoon at all, this has an American WWI flying ace, who is basically Cool Cat only a human, against a German pilot. Has soem live action footage of an army at the end, which is at least distracting. #looneytunestubi
See Ya Later Gladiator: The final Daffy/Speedy cartoon, as well as the final WB cartoon with any classic characters. Daffy and Speedy time travel to Nero's age. The time travel effects were very 60s pop art. #looneytunestubi
Chimp & Zee: Alex Lovy's final WB cartoon before he went back to Hanna Barbera, this was - again - meant to introduce new characters but WB closed before they could do anything else. I was amused at how fast the huter finds the "extremely rare" monkey. #looneytunestubi
Big Game Haunt: Presumably because Cool Cat was already not working out (he is very much uncool throughout this short), we get introduced to a ghost, Spooky, who screams "character debut". Alas. Also, Spooky is a very solid ghost. #looneytunestubi
Skyscraper Caper: DAFFY CAN FLY! HE IS A DUCK! WE'VE SEEN HIM FLY COUNTLESS TIMES! WHY IS HE IN DANGER OF FALLING OFF A SKYSCRAPER? (cough) Sorry. Seeing Daffy and Speedy actually like each other throughout is unique. #looneytunestubi
