Elmer Fudd

Elmer J Fudd is a Looney Tunes villain who was Bugs Bunny's original archenemy - although this has varied over the years with the addition of other villains such as Yosemite Sam and Marvin The Martian, nevertheless Elmer Fudd remains the villain most associated with Bugs Bunny and the rivalry between the two has become legendary.



Although a villain Elmer Fudd is not necessarily what you'd consider "evil" - in fact he has come across at times as being a victim, however this doesn't mean he is entirely innocent either and Elmer is forever trying to hunt Bugs Bunny (and Daffy Duck, to a lesser extent), his actions often lead to Bugs tricking him in many ways and this angers Elmer to the point he has threatened to kill the rabbit - though it's worth noting whenever Bugs tricks Elmer into believing he has succeeded in this Elmer shows great remorse, suggesting he doesn't truly wish to kill Bugs at all.

Elmer Fudd is famous for pronouncing "r" and "w" - especially when he says "wabbit", in fact this trait alone is what many people associate with Elmer: of particular fame is his catch-phrase: "be vewy, vewy quiet! I'm hunting a wabbit!" followed by a signature laugh, it's worth noting Elmer breaks the fourth-wall when doing this phrase and talks directly to the audience.

Elmer Fudd is depicted, in all forms, as a human and he is almost always a hunter of some description - though it is doubtful how experienced he is since he seems incapable of utilizing skills associated with hunting - though he does have a shotgun and seems to know some basic tracking-skills via identifying "wabbit tracks".
