Elmer J. Fudd is a character and one of the main antagonists of the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies theatrical shorts. His main objective is to hunt Bugs Bunny, but usually ends up injuring himself or accidentally antagonizing other characters. Elmer's signature catchphrase is, "Shhh. Be vewy vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits", as well as his trademark laughter. Being one of the few characters to not have their voice be originated by Mel Blanc, his voice was originated by Arthur Q. Bryan.

Elmer's protégé in Tiny Toon Adventures is Elmyra Duff.

Character description

He speaks with an unusual speech impediment, replacing his Rs and Ls with Ws, such as in the word "rabbit" being replaced with "wabbit," and referring to Bugs Bunny as a "screwy" or "wascally wabbit."

Behind the scenes

In popular culture

  • In the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air episode "Did the Earth Move for You?," Geoffrey mockingly comments on Will saying he "wuvs" his new girlfriend on the phone by saying, "Isn't that romantic? He's quoting Elmer Fudd."
  • In the Seinfeld episode "The Bubble Boy," George quotes Jerry on his answering machine that his girlfriend (who's in the room) laughs like Elmer Fudd sitting on a juicer. Jerry then argues that it was a compliment and talks like him.
  • In Batman: Year One, when Selina is enraged that there are no jewels inside of the toys, after stealing them from Commissioner Loeb's collection, she throws an Elmer Fudd doll at the TV.
  • In the Fresh Off the Boat episode "License to Sell," Louis said that Eddie looked like an Indian Elmer Fudd with his hunting cap.
