The History of Bugs Bunny's Elmer Fudd

Learn the history of the Looney Tunes and Bugs Bunny's Elmer Fudd and his various incarnations and shapes from his first Egghead clone created by Tex Avery to the modern Elmer Fudd who lost his hunting rifle for a little while. Elmer has had many great talents do his design and voice from Chuck Jones, Tex Avery, Mel Blanc, Arthur Q. Bryan, Hal Smith, Frank Welker, and others.

Elmer's path has crossed Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck as well as a lot of other Looney Tunes characters. He has remained one of Bugs Bunny's biggest rivals while entertaining audiences for decades since the late 1930s to the 2020s. For some reason he shares the same problem pronouncing words that start with "r" the same way Tweety Bird does.

In this video also find out why Elmer gained weight and how long the larger sized Elmer lasted.
