Description

## Personality Despite Bryan's passing and Elmer's retirement from the original theatrical run, Elmer would make a few appearances in commercials featuring the Looney Tunes cast during the 1960s and early 1970s. He is still voiced by Hal Smith in these commercials, although Mel Blanc would later take over Elmer's voice starting from Daffy Duck and Porky Pig Meet the Groovie Goolies. Even though Elmer wasn't used in any of the cartoons directed by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises in the late 1960s, Elmer Fudd would later make appearances in several television specials in the 1970s and 1980s produced from the studio, such as Bugs Bunny's Bustin' Out All Over where his early origins with Bugs are shown. He would also make some cameo roles in two of the Looney Tunes feature-film compilations. Despite the difference in voice, when Elmer returned to theatrical cartoons in "Box Office Bunny", he would be voiced by Jeff Bergman who made the character's voice more replicant to Bryan's voice instead of the deeper voice used by Smith and Blanc, a practice which would later be continued by other present-day soundalikes such as Billy West, Greg Burson and Eric Bauza. Elmer would also appear frequently in the animated series Tiny Toon Adventures as a teacher at Acme Looniversity, where he was the idol and favorite teacher of Elmyra Duff, the slightly deranged animal lover who resembles Elmer in basic head design, name and lack of intellect. On the other hand, a younger version of him makes a single appearance in the episode "Plucky's Dastardly Deed", and is named "Egghead Jr", the "smartest kid in class". Elmer also made cameos in Animaniacs, one in "Turkey Jerky", another in the Pinky and the Brain short "Don't Tread on Us". Elmer also had a guest-starring appearance in Histeria! in the episode "The Teddy Roosevelt Show", in a sketch where he portrayed Gutzon Borglum. This sketch depicts Elmer/Gutzon's construction of Mount Rushmore, accompanied by Borglum's son Lincoln, portrayed by Loud Kiddington. Elmer made another appearance in Histeria!, this time in his traditional role, during a sketch where the bald eagle trades places with the turkey during Thanksgiving weekend, featured in the episode "Americana". Elmer also appeared in The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries in the first season episode A Ticket to Crime as detective Sam Fudd; at the end, he took off his clothes and turned into Elmer. Elmer appears as part of the Tune Squad team in Space Jam. In one part of the game, he and Yosemite Sam shoot down the teeth of one of the Monstars dressed in black suits while Misirlou is heard in the background. Elmer took on a more villainous role in Looney Tunes: Back in Action, in which he is a secret agent for the Acme Corporation. In his scene, Elmer chases Bugs and Daffy through the paintings in the Louvre Museum, taking on the different art styles as they do so. At the end, Elmer forgets to change back to his normal style after jumping out of the pointillism painting Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat, allowing Bugs to easily disintegrate Elmer by blowing a fan at him. A four-year-old version of Elmer was featured in the Baby Looney Tunes episode "A Bully for Bugs", where he kept taking all of Bugs' candy, and also bullied the rest of his friends. He also had short blond hair. He appeared in most of the songs, where he is a year old. An even more villainous Elmer appeared in two episodes of Duck Dodgers as The Mother Fudd, an alien who would spread a disease that caused all affected by it to stand around laughing like Elmer, a parody of the Flood in Halo and the Borg in Star Trek. In Loonatics Unleashed, his descendant Electro J. Fudd tried to prove himself the universe's greatest hunter by capturing Ace Bunny but settled for Danger Duck instead. Elmer himself also makes an appearance in the form of a photo which shows he presumably died at the hands of a giant squirrel. In December 2009, Elmer made an appearance in a Geico commercial where the director tells him to say rabbits instead of "wabbits". He was again voiced by Billy West. Elmer Fudd appears in The Looney Tunes Show episode "Best Friends" voiced by Billy West, though only as part of the Merrie Melodies segment, and not part of the main plot. Portrayed as a wealthy businessman coming home after a hard day's work, he sings about his love of "gwiwwed cheese" sandwiches, which has become an infamous moment. He later had a brief cameo appearance in "Fish and Visitors" as a weather forecaster briefly exclaiming about the rainy weather and doing his famous chuckle at the end. In "Working Duck", Elmer Fudd appeared as a newsman where he reports that Daffy Duck was fired from his position as a security guard after falling asleep during a nighttime bank robbery where ten million dollars was stolen. Later, Elmer Fudd reports that Enormocorp went out of business due to the worst business decision in the history of business caused by its CEO Daffy Duck (who succeeded the previous CEO Foghorn Leghorn who retired) where he went with the "Proceed as Planned" choice instead of the "Delay the Merger" choice when he mistook Pete Puma as the new muffin man. As a result of this, Elmer mentioned that 10,000 of it's workers are now out of a job and states that experts fear that the world economy could collapse. Elmer also states that disgraced CEO Daffy Duck could not be reached for a comment. In "A Christmas Carol", Elmer Fudd reports on Foghorn Leghorn's plans to end the heat wave on Christmas. Elmer Fudd later joins the other characters in the Christmas song called "Christmas Rules" at the end of the episode. In "Dear John," Elmer Fudd reports on Daffy Duck winning a spot on the city council. Elmer Fudd later reports on Daffy Duck's apparent death where he supposedly lost control of his parade float and drove into the St. Bastian River. In "The Black Widow," Elmer Fudd reports on the theft of the Hillhurst Diamond from the museum caused by someone called "The Black Widow." On 10 February 2012, Elmer starred in the 3-D short "Daffy's Rhapsody" with Daffy Duck, voiced by Billy West, which was shown during the intermission of the film Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. He is portrayed with blue eyes here. Elmer Fudd appears in New Looney Tunes, voiced by Jeff Bergman, with Bugs Bunny. In one of the episodes, he appears in Season 1, he lures Bugs in to help him with his petting zoo, in which he treats the animals very poorly. Another episode has him competing with another ice cream truck business, with Bugs in the plot. In another episode, he reprises his Cupid role. Elmer Fudd appears in Looney Tunes Cartoons, once again voiced by Jeff Bergman. Unlike previous appearances, Elmer hunts wild game using a scythe instead of his usual double-barreled hunting shotgun, due to the show's gunfire ban, which is also applied to Yosemite Sam. However, he uses his shotgun in the Season 2 episode "Rotund Rabbit". In addition, in this show Elmer is redesigned to closely resemble how Tex Avery drew him in "A Wild Hare", complete with a red nose and a red turtleneck instead of blue; he also ended up having to wear old clothing again in some shorts. "Salesduck", is the only short in where Elmer is not drawn with a red nose. Also, unlike the original cartoons, here Elmer has a much bigger hatred towards rabbits and is far more short-tempered in contrast to his more mild-mannered persona from the original cartoons, going so far as to inflict violence on Bugs to express his hatred in numerous episodes such as "Snow Laughing Matter". His name was shown on a tombstone in "Graveyard Goofs". Elmer Fudd has a cameo appearance as Egghead in the Bugs Bunny Builders episode "Cousin Billy".
