Top 10 (Minor) Looney Tunes Characters
#10 – Hippety Hopper
Kicking off our list is a baby kangaroo. Or a giant mouse, depending on who you ask. All poor Sylvester the Cat wants to do is prove his unparalleled mousing skills. But, he keeps getting his clock cleaned by this innocent and unsuspecting Australian animal. Sufferin’ succotash!
#9 – Goofy Gophers
I challenge you not to find this pair of British gophers adorable. Mac and Tosh are ultra-polite little rodents who are usually trying to gather themselves some food. Don’t get them mixed up with Disney’s Chip ‘n’ Dale, who are just flat out rude. Indubitably!
#8 – Speedy Gonzales/Slowpoke Rodriguez
Speedy Gonzales and his cousin are polar opposites: Speedy is billed as the fastest mouse in all of Mexico, while Slowpoke Rodriguez is, well, the slowest. They both have their own ways of dealing with Sylvester, but they both emerge victorious. Man, that cat just can’t catch a break.
#7 – Tasmanian Devil
Don’t get in Taz’s way. This whirling ball of mayhem is always hungry and always on the lookout for food. But don’t worry: he’s not very bright and can barely spit out a sentence, so there are definitely ways to outsmart this destructive tornado of an animal.
#6 – Yosemite Sam
When Bugs Bunny proved too clever and wily for his original nemesis, Elmer Fudd, he needed a new adversary. Enter rabbit-hating gunslinger Yosemite Sam: he’s quick to anger and even quicker on the trigger, so he provides Bugs with some not-so-friendly competition.
#5 – Michigan J. Frog
He sings, he dances, he tightrope walks, he wears a top hat: is there nothing this frog can’t do? Well, he can’t sing in front of an audience, and that causes some problems.
#4 – Marvin the Martian
Our buddy Marv is another one of Bugs’ most annoying enemies and is intent on global destruction. Instead of being blustery and intense like Yosemite Sam, Marvin the Martian is a more calculating menace. However, he has failed to thwart the rabbit, and that makes him very angry! Very angry indeed!
#3 – Pepé Le Pew
This stereotypical French skunk may think he’s a suave romantic, but he’s a horndog, plain and simple. That unfortunate girl cat with the white stripe painted down her back is no match for Pepé when he’s in the throes of l’amour, but his terrible odor is definitely a turnoff.
#2 – Wile E. Coyote/Road Runner
Coyote may be clever and persistent, but the Road Runner is just fast. Their longstanding game of cat-and-mouse involves absurd and contrived contraptions, and usually results in injury for the Coyote. At least they keep the Acme Corporation in business. Genius, pure genius.
#1 – Foghorn Leghorn
Taking the top spot on our list is one of the few Looney Tunes characters to actually bother wearing boxers. Foghorn Leghorn is an arrogant southern boy who is constantly tussling with the Barnyard Dawg, and singing unintelligible versions of “Camptown Races.” Considering how annoying he can be, he has a pretty short temper when others get on his nerves.
