  • CARTOON EVOLUTION #26 - Elmer Fudd
    I take a look at the history and evolution of Elmer Fudd, the dopey “chicken-brained” hunter of the Looney Tunes, and one of the earliest antagonists created for the series. With origins in an earlier character known as Egghead, Elmer spent many years rotating through primitive designs. Eventually, Elmer would emerge as the original adversary of Bugs Bunny, before going on to appear in some of the most beloved Looney Tunes cartoons of all time - continuing today as one of the longest-running characters, where he continues to change in design and personality.
    I discuss how Elmer has evolved over time, alongside other Looney characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester the Cat, Yosemite Sam, Marvin the Martian and the Space Jam franchise! I also spotlight how animators have continually changed his look, appearance and personality over time. Here's my look at Elmer Fudd (and her predecessor, Egghead) through the years!

    The thing I like most about Elmer Fudd, and this does depend on the writer of the short, is that he's not actually malicious or villainous. His rivalry with Bugs stems from him being a hunter, or in some cases, just being fanatically obsessed with getting revenge. All the while, he's sometimes just a reasonable guy that just wants to get through the day. Look at "Don't Axe Me." He's in his most sympathetic portrayal possible in that short. Married to a sweet, little old lady version of himself, they're church people that invite the Reverend over. Daffy comes off like a jerk in this one, and Elmer wouldn't even bother hunting him if Barnyard Dog didn't goad his wife into suggesting a duck dinner. What I really liked was his deleted scene in Back in Action. Daffy pitches a Batman-esque movie starring himself as a super hero, and Elmer in a Joker like role. After the pitch, the actual Elmer starts crying hysterically about how he doesn't want to be a scary clown version of himself. Even though in a later scene in the finished movie, he says "I was secwetwy evil ahh awong," while chasing Bugs and Daffy around the Louvre. It's a great contrast with actually malicious, downright evil, constantly angry Yosemite Sam. One wants to do him harm because it's a living or revenge for constantly being made a fool of, the other's just naturally violent and angry.

      But that’s the problem,his role as a idiotic hunter isn’t interesting in my opinion,that’s why I prefer Sam,with his more interesting intricate personality,and ability to make funnier laughs,he has much more chances to be funnier,and better than Elmer ever was,after rabbit of Seville,with the exception of what’s opera doc,elmer hardly appeared,because people had gotten tired of his idiotic boring personality . At this time, however Sam was flourishing.That’s because Friz used Sam in more creative roles,such as a prison guard,knight,or even a hunter.Elmer was just a hunter,and that’s why he failed,he was just a boring hunter,who everyone got bored of by 1950.

      @Ryan Ward I just found it really bizarre they went through so many different iterations of the character's design before they settled on the "default" Elmer. I wasn't as huge a fan of the fat Elmer, though I do realize it was based on Arthur Q Bryant himself, a larger man.

    Elmer Fudd is without a doubt one of my Favorite _Looney Tunes_ characters, from his catchphrase _"Be vewy, vewy quiet. I'm hunting Wabbits. Hahahaha."_ to his unique sense of humor in the various Bugs Bunny shorts and to top it off he was Bugs Bunny's first reocurring antagonist (2nd if you count Porky Pig in "Porky's Hare Hunt") before the debuts of Yosemite Sam, Marvin the Martian, and Taz.
    Elmer may have his cartoon critics, including Friz Freleng who called him a "naive pea-brained simpleton", but that's the point of Elmer Fudd, he is a simpleton and that adds the charm and humor to the character when he is paired with Bugs, Daffy or both of them in the various Looney Tunes shorts. Without Elmer Fudd, we wouldn't be getting Sam, Marvin and Taz in the later shorts.
    Thank you so much Dave Lee for the long-awaited Cartoon Evolution of Elmer Fudd and going over his Cartoon Evolution history. My favorite incarnation of him were the ones by Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones, especially in the former since I laugh my butt off in the various shorts such as the Fat Fudd shorts (Wabbit Twouble, The Wacky Wabbit) and Corny Concerto.

  • @zixserro1

    I never realized how much Elmer was just straight-up bullied by Bugs for no reason in earlier shorts. In the newer Looney Tunes Cartoons, it feels like characters mess with him unprovoked for no reason about half the time. I hadn't thought of it as an inherent part of the character going that far back, but I suppose that is the case. It still feels kind of bad, though, especially when there are shorts where he is bullied by characters after showing that he himself is a bad person, giving justification for being abused.

      There are two instances where Elmer actually defeats Bugs, one is in Rabbit Rampage where Bugs becomes his victim as Elmer (revealed at the end) to be the animator who torments him, like he did with Daffy in Duck Amuck. The other is Hare Brush when Elmer thinks he is a rabbit and sent into insane asylum and Bugs who gets there, switches places with him and the psycatrist thinking that Bugs really IS Elmer drugs him and through hypnotist convinces Bugs that he is Elmer (being a millionaire, owning a mansion and a yatch). Later when Bugs hunts for Elmer in a role reversal, a goverment agent arrests Bugs for tax evasion (which the real Elmer was guity of the crime). Elmer then turns to the camera saying "I may be scwewy wabbit, but I'm not going to Alcatwaz".

    Elmer as mini-me in Space Jam 2 was a stroke of genius! Thought it was a tad unnecessary and silly not gining Elmer his gun in the new HBO Max shorts but I understand the intentions of the animators for going that way. He wasn't always an armed hunter in the classic shorts and was still funny.

    Another great rundown, Dave. As a life-long Looney Tunes fan, born in the late 1970s, when random LT shorts would turn up on TV very-young-me would sometimes get a bit mixed up and confused over Elmer regarding his early often changing appearance and characteristics (as well as sometimes being a "changes to fit the story" sorta character); and as such that same young-me maybe even mistook him for Porky Pig on odd occasion. As I got older I loved piecing together origins & developments of characters; I'm surprised a "Fudd Family Tree" has never been hinted at by WB or by fans, to try and explain and incorporate some of those early looks, as "relations".
    Although those shorts were already 50+ years old when I first saw them, I always saw Elmer as being designed to be rather "old man in younger man's body"-ish, out of fashion and already dated in the way he spoke. I think also perceived his early sometimes squinty eyes to suggest he had poor vision, Mr. Magoo-style, which is one reason he never quite caught Bugs. I'd have to think hard what my favourite Elmer short is, but I've always particularly loved him in the hunting trilogy, some of the best Looney Tunes ever made.

    It's funny to think about that whenever Elmer seems to have shot Bugs (such in A Wild Hare, The Old Grey Hare and What's Opera Doc, though the latter two Elmer actually hit Bugs with a laser gun and lightning respectively, though the former doesn't really kill him but faking it like other times while the latter seems to have really killed him, Bugs only gets "revived" to say "Well, what did you expect from an opera, a happy ending?") even if his intention as a hunter was to kill Bugs all along, Bugs overdramatic death acting turns on Elmer's sympathy, giving him guilt over killing him causing to cry out of regret, shame and sadness. However at the start of one cartoon, he holds his gun at Bugs' rabbit hole, ready to shoot and does fire away, unaware that Bugs was behind him, talking like he was in his hole. Bugs once again faking dying, which does tugs Elmer's heart stings yet again but when Bugs says "I'm gonna kick the bucket!" and does it literally, Elmer cheer for his success and sings "The Wabbit kick the bucket" until Bugs join on the singing, realizing that he was tricked.

To answer your question on what my favorite Elmer Fudd appearance would be, probably either A Pest in the House or Rabbit of Seville. Both outstanding shorts that show him in different roles and have him paired with different characters.

    I love Elmer Fudd's hunting outfit on Chuck Jones. I wish they would made a new series of Looney Tunes back to their original morphing forms called "Looney Tunes World of Mayhem: The Series" directed by Eric Goldberg or the directors from Animaniacs. Also, this series can be animated by Toon Boom Animation. What'd you guys think?
    Here are the voice cast:
    Eric Bauza - Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Marvin the Martian, Pepe Le Pew, Barnyard Dawg.
    Bob Bergen - Porky Pig, Tweety Bird, Sylvester Jr.
    Jeff Bergman - Elmer Fudd, Sylvester, Foghorn Leghorn, Ralph Wolf.

    Elmer's not as dumb as most people think he is. In the cartoon where he's in an asylum because he believes he's a rabbit. Bugs traded places with him and ends up living Elmer's millionaire life. Bugs Elmer ends up being arrested for tax evasion.
    Elmer has the last line, and the last laugh:
    "I may be cwazy, but at least I'm not going to Alcatwaz!"
