Plus, Bugs occasionally manages to foil himself from time to time, which tends to take him down a notch when needed. If not Bugs, I'd probably be Foghorn Leghorn.
If I had to choose one of his antagonists though, it'd have to be Sam or Wile E. Elmer is just too damn stupid for his own good. (Plus, I hear he's gay.) | foghorn?!?! now we're talking, that poor dog...
the difference is the "coyote, raven or even loki" are cool, the have lessons to teach, and are only annoying if you fail to learn their lesson.
...bugs is just some fictional annoying rabbit...i'm sure he'd make a great stew however. 
but i do get a bit daffy...so maybe that's the problem?

Had they left well enough alone, they wouldn't have to deal with him...
I'm a firm believer that Bugs is most defintely one of the manifestations of the Jungian trickster archetype, hence his widespread popularity (present company excepted, apparently.)
Now Foghorn, he torments that dog with no provocation whatsoever, yet you like him just fine...

maybe that's why so many people like him?

Hmm...maybe, but if the people on here are any indication, it's how you look when you get out of the dress that really matters.

I was always a fan of Daffy. What's the philosophical interpretation of that? | |

there's a philosophy to looney toons, i knew they addressed some serious politics for the time, so i guess it's possible...
maybe an admiration for the slightly amusing underdog that's always one upped by an annoying carrot freak?
I'd like to see daffy b*tch slap that rabbit...steal his carrot and beat him over the head with it, dress or no dress.

Daffy had the much drier wit. I mean both bugs and daffy were sarcastic bitches, but Daffy was a bit more... evil... I guess. Or self serving at least. And yeah, underdog is a good word too. | |

Yeah, but that second-fiddle thing was self-imposed. He could have been as big a star as Bugs, but he's self defeating. He's got all the talent, but none of the confidence. That's why he always falls short of Bugs...

Or ducks? But then, they're anthropomorphic, so I suppose we have to.
Bugs? Sure. He's crass and a real wise-ass, but he's not heartless.
Daffy? Probably not.

WOULD YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF TO BE A GOOD PERSON?
| No. Good people turn the other cheeck and end up with red cheeks, like some BDSM junkie. Good people have to walk a fine line between supportive and doormat. If I turn the other cheek it is so they dont see my fist. Live and let live unless you have to kill them first.

well my friends accept me even though I have done all that and probably worse... and I accept myself for myself as well... so if a God, cannot... then hell sounds good... but thats only if he cannot forgive... after all alowly mortal can right?

an eternity of servitude in a bibical hell; could be quite an enticing offer.
