Bugs Bunny Is Back, and So Is the ‘Looney Tunes’ Mayhem (Published 2020)

A new collection of shorts on HBO Max, “Looney Tunes Cartoons,” captures the look and feel of the originals.

“We’re not doing guns,” Browngardt said. “But we can do cartoony violence — TNT, the Acme stuff. All that was kind of grandfathered in.”

I'm sure that'll drive their abysmal subscriber numbers up.

Guns don't kill people.

Looney Tunes with guns kill people.

Maybe this is why The Elmo Show is the most watched Max original content so far

[Reptars Revenge]

I actually didnt even notice, it feels like vintage looney tunes with cartoon violence and I loved it.

That's the plan.

How the hell does Elmer Fudd hunt Bugs without a gun?

 

[Tesseract]

all we did was remove doom guy's shotgun, there's still cartoon violence

 

[Tesseract]

all we did was remove the guns from the matrix, there's still violence

 

[MasterCornholio]

It's going to be a bit weird for me.

[TaySan]

I'm sure they can make it work somehow.

No need to subscribe then.

 

[Cravis]

Did they replace them with walkie talkies?

 

[Goro Majima]

Simpsons predicted everything

Humane Trapping.

Get out yer walkie talkies, boys.

This is not going to end well.

Where's the jelly donuts?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Westworld, etc, tho

 

[LegendOfKage]

Well what if Bugs gave Elmer Fudd some of his pie? Then they would both have pies!

 

[haxan7]

They need to replace guns with shitting and pissing. Let me see some golden showers

 

[and 3 others]

Wonder if there is a *non terrorist* bombing, if the Acme TNT would make the cut?

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Are the smoking scenes/cigs still in there or have they removed them as well?

 

[EverydayBeast]

Guns are dangerous in real life, they're out there saying a cartoon is dangerous.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

Another God dethroned. Minor animated deities are not even allowed their character defining implements in this brave new culture

I fucking love 4Kids, its incredible how they unintentionally made some of the funniest, most ridiculous shit you can imagine. I wish they would have localized even more shows.

 

[Gavin Stevens]

He’s a hunter. That’s his whole fucking character. May as well change Marvin the Martians home planet to Earth.

Fucks sake.

 

[Paracelsus]

In few years, in the USA the zip gun culture will be back in full foce.

 

[SometimeLaterToday]

They should outlaw carrots next.

 

[Gp1]

Humane Trapping.

Or affirmative social service policies and community based actions. /s

 

[MayauMiao]

It's going to be a bit weird for me.

Maybe they will let him use the guns but instead of shooting bullets it will blast out Internet gas.

 

[Woo-Fu]

We have enough cnc milling machines and 3d printers that nobody needs a crappy zip gun.

 

[MasterCornholio]

I guess he can just club them with his guns.

 

[MayauMiao]

PETA ain't going to be happy about it.

 

[DKehoe]

Seems weird to not have guns but still have the violence. Also those two characters are kinda defined by using guns.

Do kids these days know who the Looney Tunes characters are? I was wondering this recently. Are the old cartoons still shown anywhere?

 

[MasterCornholio]

PETA ain't going to be happy about it.

They won't complain if the opposite happens.

 

[Coily]

it's censorship
bad censorship

Yep that's part of their stereotype. I really can't see them not use guns unless they are native Americans or something similar.

 

[J-Roderton]

Oh, come the fuck on.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Oh, come the fuck on.

HBO

 

[OmegaSupreme]

They're cool with shoving Sylvester up an elephant's ass but guns are where they draw the line? Alrighty then.

 

[Alcibiades]

I want to know when the Speedy Gonzalez classics are going to be released. They were my favorite as a kid.

That's an unfair ban.

Latin people loved Speedy.

But Goldberg also noted that Speedy remained widely popular in Latin America, with many Hispanics having grown fond of the mouse over the years.
