'''''Looney Tunes''''' is a series of theatrical cartoon shorts, produced by {{W|Warner Brothers}} since the 1930s. These cartoons are famous for launching characters like Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck, Tweety & Sylvester, Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, the Tasmanian Devil, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn,... and many others. Since the 1950s, the cartoons continued their popularity broadcast on television. ''Looney Tunes'', as one of the most influential cartoon series of all time, has naturally been referenced in ''[[The Simpsons]]'' many times.
