WB's Iconic 263-Episode Series Is Officially Free on Streaming, and Every Episode Is a Masterpiece

Published Aug 30, 2026, 12:30 PM EDT Starting with Fast and Furry-Ous (which doesn’t star Vin Diesel) 7 classic Looney Tunes shorts to watch if you loved Coyote vs. ACME Image: Ketchup Entertainment Perhaps you’ve just left the theater after seeing Coyote vs. ACME, and now you need more Looney Tunes content to get another fix. Or maybe you’ve got tickets for tomorrow, and you’re looking to bone up on the Looney Tunes before arriving at the theater. Regardless of the reason, if you’re hankering for some great Looney Tunes shorts as a companion piece for Coyote vs. ACME, allow me to help you out. Below you’ll find seven essential Looney Tunes shorts. A few of themcover Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, while the others highlight other key characters in Coyote vs. ACME. Currently, all of these can be found for free on Tubi, but they’re kind of difficult to find on there as the streamer has them in a strange, vaguely backwards order with three random shorts grouped together as “episodes.” To get around this, just type the episode name into Google and add “Tubi” after it, or read where to find these shorts in each of the entries below. 1 Fast and Furry-Ous (1949) Image: Warner Bros. Animation 1949’s Fast and Furry-ous is the perfect place to start because it's the very first short with both Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. Directed by Chuck Jones, this cartoon makes it clear that Jones knew exactly who these characters were right off the bat. All the essential elements are here, including the repeated injuries inflicted upon the coyote, Road Runner’s “Beep beep” catchphrase, and even a faulty ACME invention (an “ACME Super Outfit”). Wile E.’s eyes are drawn a little differently in this one, as there’s a distinct red ring around them that he doesn’t have later, but beyond that, this is a quintessential Coyote and Road Runner cartoon. (You’ll find this short within season 9, episode 14 on Tubi.) 2 Beep, Beep (1961) Image: Warner Bros. Animation If you’re choosing a Road Runner and Coyote short and it's directed by Chuck Jones, you really can’t go wrong. They’re honestly all fairly similar, as the Coyote is always just trying to catch the Road Runner, but the gags are different and the comedic timing is always super sharp. I’m choosing 1961’s Beep, Beep in particular because it features a prop that is central to the plot of Coyote vs. ACME: Wile E.’s “ACME Rocket Powered Roller Skates.” They look a bit different in the movie, but the idea — and how badly they injure Wile E. — is the same. (Season 6, episode 11 on Tubi.) 3 Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z (1956) Image: Warner Bros. Animation Again, you can’t go wrong with a Chuck Jones short starring Wile E. and Road Runner, so I chose this one because it has one of the most distinctive ACME items ever, the “ACME Bat-Man’s Outfit,” a bright green, winged costume that looks nothing like the superhero. Coyote looks absolutely hilarious in this costume and his momentary mastery of the suit builds up to one of his best crashes ever. (Season 4, episode 11 on Tubi.) 4 All Fowled Up (1955) Image: Warner Bros. Animation Now, for Foghorn Leghorn, you’re going to want a short directed by Robert McKimson, who created the character and directed all of his classic-era shorts. Originally, Foghorn Leghorn was meant to be more of a supporting player to the tiny chicken hawk, Henery Hawk, but Foghorn Leghorn’s personality was so big that he just took over and ended up starring in a whole bunch of cartoons, both with and without Henery. Here, I’ve chosen one with Henery. The main plot is about Henery trying to catch Foghorn Leghorn, but the funniest dynamic here isn’t between the two of them, it’s between Foghorn Leghorn and the Barnyard Dog. With most other Looney Tunes characters, the rivalry between the stars usually comes down to something like hunger (like Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner) or hunting (like Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny). For Foghorn Leghorn and the Barnyard Dog, their rivalry is hilariously unwarranted, usually triggered because Foghorn Leghorn is bored, so he decides to rile up the mutt just for fun. In the opening scene of All Fowled Up, the dog is sleeping, so Foghorn Leghorn walks up behind him and spanks him repeatedly with a fence post. In other words, Foghorn Leghorn is a total jerk in this one, which is why he was the perfect Looney Tune to play the villain in Coyote vs. ACME. (Season 4, episode 19 on Tubi.) 5 Tweetie Pie (1947) Images: Warner Bros. Animation In Coyote vs. ACME, Foghorn isn’t the only villainous bird, as Tweety also works for the ACME Corporation as hired muscle. For those who regard the canary as the cutest, sweetest Looney Tune, the choice may come as a surprise, but it's actually in keeping with the original iteration of the character. In early Tweety shorts like 1947’s Tweetie Pie, directed by Friz Freleng, Tweety was a more mischievous character who delighted in getting Sylvester into trouble. That’s exactly the case in Tweetie Pie, where Tweety, an orphaned little bird, is taken in by a woman with a cat (Sylvester, though called “Thomas” here). The cat keeps trying to eat him, but Tweety gives as good as he gets by repeatedly getting the cat into trouble. This cartoon is a perfect showcase for Tweety’s dark tendencies, especially before they got watered down later. (Season 8, episode 17 on Tubi.) 6 Daffy Duck in Hollywood (1938) Images: Warner Bros. Animation Another bird that may have seemed out of character in Coyote vs. ACME is Daffy Duck, who is a wild, hooting character in the movie, instead of the greedier, grouchier character most people might remember. But in Daffy’s earlier cartoons — particularly those directed by Tex Avery or Bob Clampett — Daffy’s personality was more in keeping with his name, as he was a wild, bouncing troublemaker who delighted in tormenting others. Daffy Duck in Hollywood is a great example of this, as Daffy is trying to break into movies, presumably by annoying everyone to the point where they relent. This short was directed by Tex Avery, the namesake for Will Forte’s character in Coyote vs. ACME. (Season 12, episode 14 on Tubi.) 7 You Ought to Be in Pictures (1940) Images: Warner Bros. Animation Friz Freleng’s You Ought to Be in Pictures is funny, if slightly more slow-moving than the others in this line-up. I include it here as more of a curiosity because, just like Coyote vs. ACME, it features a blend of live-action and animation. During a time when Porky is the biggest Looney Tunes character (before Daffy and Bugs overshadowed him in the 1940s), Daffy persuades Porky to quit the cartoon business to become a leading man in features (which Daffy does so that he can be the star of Looney Tunes). The animated Porky just walks off the page and into the live-action office of executive Leon Schlesinger and quits. It doesn’t take long, though, for Porky to realize he’s made a mistake. (Season 11, episode 12 on Tubi.) Looney Tunes is available to watch on Tubi.
