Looney Tunes is a series of theatrical cartoon shorts, produced by 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.

Episodes[edit]

Picture Season Episode number Episode name Reference
2 27 "Principal Charming" Marge tells her sister Patty that she has to wax the mustache on her upper lip because, "...you don't want to go out on your first date looking like Yosemite Sam". Yosemite Sam is a villainous cowboy in the Looney Tunes universe, known for his large moustache.
Third Race Call.png 3 39 "Bart the Murderer" Bart begrudgingly and sarcastically picks a horse called "Don't Have a Cow" to win a horse race. Two of the other horses in the race are called "Sufferin' Succotash" and "Ooh, Ain't I a Stinker?", which are catchphrases of respectively Sylvester the cat and Bugs Bunny. Another horse is called "That's All Folks!", which is the catchphrase of Porky Pig and appears on-screen at the end of Looney Tunes cartoons.
Homer Alone Looney Tunes Bart.pngHomer Alone Looney Tunes Homer.png 3 50 "Homer Alone" The Brat'us Don'thaveacow'us & Homo Neanderthel'us scene makes a reference to a typical way many Road Runner cartoons start off, where the Coyote and Road Runner freeze frame during a chase while a subtitle gives their supposed Latin names for a few seconds.
4 69 "Lisa's First Word" When toddler Bart hears baby Lisa say "Bart" as her first word, he exclaims "Sufferin' succotash!", Sylvester's catchphrase.

Rock Bottom Correction - LBJ - Yosemite Sam.png 6 112 "Homer Badman" One of the corrections made by Rock Bottom is "Lyndon Johnson did not provide the voice of Yosemite Sam".
Hark to the Tale of Nelson.png 127 "Lemon of Troy" While Martin sings "Hark to the Tale of Nelson", he prances and skips around Nelson in the same way as Chester the terrier with Spike the bulldog in the shorts Tree for Two and Dr. Jekyl's Hide.
Itchy and Scratchy Looney Tunes.png 7 146 "The Day the Violence Died" The Itchy and Scratchy cartoon appearing near the end of the episode has Itchy chasing Scratchy in a desert landscape at super speed, resembling the Road Runner cartoons.
Alfline up.png 8 163 "The Springfield Files" Marvin the Martian appears in a line-up of aliens and utters his catchphrase This makes me so angry, when he and the others aliens are told to leave again.
167 "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show" June Bellamy, the voice of Itchy and Scratchy, claims she did the voice of the Road Runner, but the studio had her record only one "meep". To avoid having to pay her more (to record two "meep"s), the studio then doubled the "meep" in playback to produce the Road Runner's characteristic "meep-meep". June Bellamy herself is a parody of Looney Tunes voice actress June Foray.

283 "Tales from the Public Domain" In the "D'oh, Brother Where Art Thou?" segment Captain Horatio McCallister plays the Greek sea god Poseidon and torments Homer's ship by creating a wave. McCallister then grins: "Ain't I a stinker?" This is a direct reference to the classic Warner Brothers cartoon "Duck Amuck" (1953), in which Daffy Duck is tormented by an invisible animator, who turns out to be Bugs Bunny in the end, grinning: "Ain't I a stinker?"
Bugs Bunny postage stamps.png 15 316 "The President Wore Pearls" Homer showed Lisa Bugs Bunny postage stamps.
