The Looney Tunes animated anthology series premiered in 1930, and in its nearly 100 years has become a pop-culture juggernaut, conquering movie theaters, television, video games, theme parks, and more. The franchise launched entertainment icons like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and others that have entertained generations, won a slew of accolades including five Academy Awards, and has generated an estimated $17 billion. While entertainment industry mergers and misfortunes have bruised the property’s prestige in recent years, the characters retain incredible cultural cache, and the classic shorts remain outrageously entertaining. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the best Looney Tunes character.

Characters discussed: Bugs Bunny, Granny, Foghorn Leghorn, Sylvester the Cat, Yosemite Sam, Pepe LePew Penelope Pussycat, Elmer Fudd, Marvin the Martian, Daffy Duck, Michigan J. Frog, Tasmanian Devil, Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote, Speedy Gonzales, Tweety Bird, Porky Pig
