Behind the scenes
- Tweety's name is a play on words, as it originally meant "sweetie", along with "tweet" being an English onomatopoeia for the sounds of birds.
- Despite the perception people have regarding Tweety's gender, due in part to the long eyelashes and a high-pitched voice, he is male.[1][2]
In popular culture
- In the 1984 film Gremlins, there is a doll of Tweety in the department store.
- In the 1990 film Mermaids, a kid dresses up as Tweety for Halloween.
- In the sitcom Moesha, Uncle Bernie affectionately called Andell Tweety.
- In the Arrested Development episode "Switch Hitter," George Sr. mocked Gob's dance by comparing it to that of Tweety.
- In the pilot of 30 Rock, a poster for The Girl Show has Jenna wearing a t-shirt featuring Tweety.
- In the Big Bang Theory episode "The Bat Jar Conjecture," Penny tests Leonard and Sheldon's knowledge of pop culture, with one question being "Tweety tawt he taw a what?" Sheldon responds with Romulan, one of the alien adversaries in the Star Trek sci-fi TV and film franchise. They act proud believing they answered correctly.
- In the 2023 film The Flash, the alternate 2013 version of Barry Allen has a Looney Tunes background screen on his computer, which includes Tweety, Sylvester, Bugs, Daffy, Road Runner, and Wile E.
