And there’s a wall right there just waiting to have a tunnel painted on it.

Way less funny when a real-life coyote gets crushed under an anvil though.

Its sad that Wille E Coyote is remembered for the violence and not his brilliant paintings of tunnels

I expect this to be sped up and dubbed with cartoon sounds in the next 30 minutes or I’ll lose my faith in the internet.

Meh. Obviously a deepfake. Coyote never gives up so easily in real life!

Came to make sure ACME was thoroughly represented in this topic, and am leaving satisfied. Well done.

That coyote seems pretty halfhearted. Its almost like he has a bad feeling about this, like reliving a bad recurring dream or something. What could it be? Ah screw it, he gives up. You might almost call him wily.

Can’t believe it? I’ll tell you what I can’t believe… portrait mode video in 2020.

Unfortunately it’s 2020, the internet is more likely to make a racist, pro-Trump meme out of it to own the libs.

Coyote so concerned about the shooter’s lack of filming permits that it lost the bird. So sad.

And moreover, fails to catch it.

Definitely needs a meep meep.

Two things I learned today:

  1. Coyotes are natural predators of roadrunners. (I’d always just assumed it previously.)

Predators of roadrunners are raccoons, hawks, and, of course, coyotes.

  1. The coyote’s original name was Don.

Early model sheets for the character prior to his initial appearance (in Fast and Furry-ous ) identified him as “Don Coyote”, a pun of the name Don Quixote.[18]

Thank you. It’s been way too long since I’ve seen/listened to this.

Ya know what? I don’t think I’ve EVER seen a video post in landscape mode. Quit griping.
