Yosemite Sam is western-type character and recurring antagonist in the Looney Tunes animated franchise. He is usually potrayed as one of Bugs Bunny's most agressive antagonists, and his archenemy in similar vein to Elmer Fudd. His voice was orignated by Mel Blanc using a Southern accent.
Sam first appeared as Bugs' antagonist in the 1945 Looney Tunes short, Hare Trigger, and has been subsequently shown many times in both the theatrical cartoons and the Looney Tunes franchise, sometimes in different roles and other aliases. He appeared in a total of thirty-three shorts made between 1945 and 1964, during the original run of the Warner Bros. cartoons.
His protégé in Tiny Toon Adventures is Montana Max.
Character Description
“ | Why, everybody knows me. I'm Yosemite Sam! The meanest, toughest, rip-roaring-est, Edward Everett Horton-est hombre what ever packed a six-shooter! That's who I am! ― Yosemite Sam, Hare Trigger |
” |
Yosemite Sam is often depicted as a cowboy or an outlaw with a short, firery temper. In comparison to Elmer Fudd—who is often potrayed as a passive, yet bumbling antagonist—Sam is a much tougher foe to Bugs, and is potrayed as being mean-spirited, reckless, egotistical, and extremely violent. As such, he also has a tougher accent, and a higher, fiercer voice. Sam is a highly assertive person, proudly calling himself as "the roughest, toughest he-man stuffest hombre that's ever crossed the Rio Grande", among many other boastful titles. He is also quicker to learn from his mistakes and never falls for the same ploy twice.
In spite of his tough, formidable personality, Sam doesn't prove himself to be any brighter than Fudd when encountering Bugs. His cantankerous noise contrasts the rabbit's calm demeanor. Sam's cockiness tends to get the best of him, portraying him as a bumbling idiot, with Bugs seeing that he is incapable of turning down a challenge. Sam is incredibly short-tempered and hates it when he is wrong; so much that he would either use his revolvers at random targets (which seem to comically not hit at anyone), or get himself into trouble through his stubbornness.
In some cartoons, (such as in From Hare to Heir, Honey's Money, and Dumb Patrol), he also has a foul mouth; cursing unintelligibly when angry and saying phrases like "rackin' frackin' varmint," either loudly or when mumbling to himself.
Sam is very much a short-sized fellow; His height was first lampooned in the debut short Hare Trigger, where a train he tries to hold up passes right over him without harm. While Sam's basic character is that of a cowboy, he wears a black Domino mask to show that he is an outlaw. This is so associated with his persona that he even wears the mask in other roles such as a pirate, a riff, or a Viking. As a cowboy or in any other Western-type role, he wears a large cowboy hat, bandana and cowboy boots.
