I think that when writing his Foundation Trilogy, Isaac Asimov might have been inspired by the Elmer character when crafting Anacreon ruler Lord Dorwin's manner of speech. (At least it was Elmer's voice ringing through my skull when I read Dorwin's lines.) -- knoodelhed 13:48, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Was he named Elmer after someone ? Jay 08:04, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Is his full name not "Elmer J. Fudd"? 213.51.209.230 15:15, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Well, I'm glad to see someone put up a picture of Mr. Fudd, but could someone find one w/o the stupid looking 3d shading? Bugs Bunny, for example, appears to have an actual still from an actual cartoon. -- 148.65.113.28 22:15, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
I have a DVD with some 30s/40s WB cartoons on, and one of them(All this and Rabbit Stew) features a character in what is essentialy Fudd's role, but he is a stereotype black man, although he does looks similar to the modern form or Elmer Fudd in shape. I beleive I have seen this cartoon on TV a few years ago, but possibly re-animated to with Elmer in place of this pre-Elmer. Are there any sources on his history which indlude this?
Elmer Fudd appears to be listed under the category "Fictional vegetarians". Is he really a vegetarian, though? I don't recall any cartoon where this is revealed in any way. Is this just an ironic joke by someone, putting him in that category?
I remember an episode in which he says hes a vegetarian, and that "wabbits are my favorite vegetable" -- Pdinc 20:40, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
But this makes no sense! How can you be a Vegeterian and hunt animals, I mean the whole point of vegeterianism it to avoid the suffering of animals. 203.53.167.180 10:22, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Vegetarians can kill animals, they just don't eat them. You're thinking of Vegans. Besides, he has been shown to try and cook rabbit or duck, as Jeff schiller pointed out. -- Piemanmoo 00:31, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm looking for the name of this one Elmer Fudd animated short where this singing black cat unwittingly wakes Elmer up. There's this one particular scene (that I find adorable) where the cat sings Brahms' Lullaby to put Elmer back to sleep. It works and the cat carries Elmer into his bedroom, tucks him in, kisses his forehead, and quietly leaves the room, turning off the lights as he goes. (Awwwww ^_^).

There's no picture of Elmer Fudd's most recognizable design, from the era described in the "Elmer's peak" section. This is a serious flaw for a high importance article. It's rated B-class without one? -- AvatarMN 19:06, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
I heard this was the first one? It was just from this page but there's two pictures, one in colour and one in black and white. So I'm not very sure. http://www.ferris.edu/jimcrow/cartoons/47.htm http://www.ferris.edu/jimcrow/cartoons/allthis.htm Like, is it mentioned in the article? I skimmed.

In correcting the "...in popular culture" reference to an episode of The Fairly OddParents, I also Wikilinked it to the article on that show. There was a link to a list of episodes, which I checked just in case the episode had its own article. However, while the ep. title given here was "TV Chasers," the closest I could find there was "Timmy TV." The very skimpy plot summary there was not inconsistent with the description here, but it's not that good a match, either. Can anybody confirm if this was a good faith mistake or a case of "Sneaky vandalism," per this? Ted Watson ( talk) 21:58, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
In the Egghead section of the article, it states that "many cartoon historians believe that Egghead evolved into Elmer over a period of a couple of years." However, in his book Hollywood Cartoons, Michael Barrier thinks that Elmer and Egghead were always two distinctly different characters, stating that the misconception that Egghead evolved into Elmer is one of "those persistent little errors that will never go away". While I've always heard and read that Fudd evolved from Egghead, maybe we should mention this. Whadaya think? — Cinemaniac ( talk • contribs) 00:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
I'll admit that Barrier's original denial of Egghead→Elmer Fudd evolution might be just his memory slipping, and contaminated by Eggy's relatively recent cameo in Quackbusters, but there's no justifying an animation historian of his reputation flatly asserting that the "Egghead's brother" statement exclusively tied to ...Fella is about Fudd, more than two months before the name itself was first dropped (only visually, too) in Feud.... It is far more plausibly—if less kindly—interpreted as an act of CYA. And, you were missed. -- Tbrittreid ( talk) 22:25, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

What's this with crediting Elmer's voice in Pre-Hysterical Hare to Dave Barry? Even assuming that whoever did it didn't realize the article the linked name leads to is a different Dave Barry (the humorist born in 1947, maybe all of eleven years old when the track was recorded), many sources ( Leonard Maltin's Of Mice and Magic, for one I know off the top of my head) say it's Mel Blanc, and it sounds very much like his unfortunately "off-model" rendition of the voice. I'm going to put a cite request here and in the short's own article, which BTW blames Bryan's absence on illness, also news to me. I've never encountered a hint of a reason, and suspected that he refused to cross the picket lines during the musicians union's strike, the same-timing of which is indicated by the John Seely "score" there. -- Tbrittreid ( talk) 20:27, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
UPDATE: IIRC, the "caveman" footage has a narrator. Could this be the mysterious Mr. Barry's contribution? -- Tbrittreid ( talk) 21:44, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
UPDATE 2: I raised this question over on the short's own talk page with a link to here for the details, but also added one fact I think I should reiterate right here: I believe the Jerry Beck/Will Friedwald book on the Warner Bros. cartoons reports Elmer being voiced in Prehysterical by Mel as flat fact. -- Tbrittreid ( talk) 21:56, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
UPDATE 3: I just noticed that the article on this short asserts that the caveman footage is narrated. Now I'm just about positive that that is Barry (whom the IMDb lists as providing his Bogart impression to a few vintage Warner cartoons) and Blanc did indeed voice Fudd. Can someone find a copy of either the Maltin or Beck/Friedwald books? Both of mine fell apart from my going through them so often! -- Tbrittreid ( talk) 22:32, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
This Disney character has his origins in Dickensian England.
The infantile speech impediment was popularized by Charles Dickens. The Victorian phrase " Waiter! Bwing me a Welsh wabbit.", mocking the mustached British aristocracy and their affectation in ordering Welsh rarebit ( cheese on bread), was brought to America in 1847 ( Black 47 of the Irish Famine) by "General Tom Thumb", [1]where it resonated with P.T. Barnum's Irish-Yankee audiences, and ultimately, with the Irish Disneys.

There is no paragraph on Elmer Fudd's relatives. In the cartoon "Don't Axe Me" he is married and his wife (voiced by June Foray) is simply named Mrs. Fudd. In the cartoon "Rabbit Romeo", it is mentioned Elmer has an Uncle Judd. In the Dell Comic Daffy Duck Issue #28, it is revealed Elmer has an Uncle Foxhole Fudd. In the Dell Comic Bugs Bunny Issue #63, it is revealed Elmer has a Scottish cousins Cory and Rory Mac Fudd. In the Dell Comic Bugs Bunny Issue #67, it is revealed Elmer has an Uncle Finch. In the Dell Comic Beep Beep Issue #13, it is revealed Elmer has a sister Bernice. Deltasim ( talk) 07:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
I was digging around, looking for original sources that verify Elmer Fudd's appearance in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I don't have a copy of the Encyclopedia of Walt Disney's Animated Characters, and I couldn't find any excerpts of that book online that feature the Who Framed Roger Rabbit entry with the list of characters who appearred in it as a verifiable source-if I could I would make copies of that entry and upload it or link to it and list that as a source. I found three websites that verify Elmer Fudd's appearance in Who Framed Roger Rabbit:
http://www.thevalve.org/go/valve/article/the_hollywood_version_who_framed_roger_rabbit/
http://afrankangle.wordpress.com/2010/04/10/on-elmer-fudd/
I listed the cached file so you can see the highlighted terms- the person on here describes in detail where and when Elmer Fudd shows up towards the end of the film.
http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_cameos_in_Who_Framed_Roger_Rabbit
This is an official Disney Wikia- it lists Elmer Fudd as a character who cameoed in Roger Rabbit.
http://looneytunes.wikia.com/wiki/Who_Framed_Roger_Rabbit
This is from an official Looney Tunes Wikia - it states Elmer Fudd appears in Roger Rabbit.
I just found this:
http://toolooney.blogspot.com/
A script for a scene in which Elmer Fudd was set to show up at Marvin Acme's funeral, but was left out of the film. This link:
http://www.toonopedia.com/elmer.htm
Even mentions Elmer Fudd's appearance in the film. I don't get why if this link is on the bottom if the Elmer Fudd page, why they wouldn't let me mention his cameo in the movie on the article. I just found a screenshot of the scene from the movie I tried to upload:
http://thumbnails.truveo.com/0023/F3/98/F398A43692057C106F06A9_Large.jpg
It is a much better resolution pic-you can clearly see that the character peering through the crowd in the background on the left side of the screenshot behind the clown and between the clown and the Singing Harp with the bald, bulbous head and hunter's cap IS Elmer Fudd. I recall trying to upload a screenshot and part of the reason why it was deleted because:
1. It was from Youtube
2. It wasn't a good quality pic
3. I drew a circle around Elmer Fudd's head on it
I know for a fact that the Encyclopedia of Walt Disney's Animated Characters, and Newsweek June 27, 1988 - WHO IS ROGER RABBIT? SPIELBERG AND DISNEY TAKE A $45 MILLION GAMBLE, VOLUME CXI, NO. 26 mentions Elmer Fudd's cameo in the movie.The Encyclopedia of Walt Disney's Animated Characters is a comprehensive guide to animated Disney films and officially lists all characters that appear in these films. If I can get a hold of the Disney Encyclopedia of Animated Characters and the Newsweek magazine I was talking about above I will cite the articles from both. I believe some other animation books also mention Elmer Fudd's appearance in the movie - if I can find those other animation books that mention Elmer Fudd's cameo in the movie I will post about it also. I also found five more links to sites that mentioned Elmer Fudd appearing in the movie:

Are these sources that I have acceptable sources? I don't own a DVD of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. If I were to make a screenshot from the DVD of Elmer Fudd in Roger Rabbit and showed a cropped portion of that image would that be an acceptible image to upload to the Elmer Fudd article? Or is that screenshot I found above acceptable?
Please let me know - thank you. Mavericker ( talk) 22:05, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
Hello- Can someone here please help me to verify these sources I found about Elmer Fudd's appearance in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? I don't want to add any of them to the article if they are going to be deleted again. I feel mentioning his appearance in this movie is significant to add to the article. I have not went to the article to add any new references yet because I want to wait till I get all my resources together first. A while ago I tried to discuss this with Bkell on his talk page but his initial discussion was in response to some faulty bad-quality screenshot I tried to upload to the article. This one is a far better one: http://thumbnails.truveo.com/0023/F3/98/F398A43692057C106F06A9_Large.jpg and it's among the new resources I found. I went back to his talk page to discuss about the list of new references with him twice and asked if he could help verify if the resources I found above were adequate, and have not heard back from him lately - I am assuming he is on a leave of abscence - I asked him some other questions and still did not hear from him. Please help. Mavericker ( talk) 09:31, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
I found this tidbit of info related to Elmer Fudd's appearance in the movie. Besides the brief cameo he has at the end and early in the film walking around in the streets outside of the Maroon Cartoon studio lot, Elmer Fudd was scripted to appear as one of the pallbearers to Marvin Acme's funeral, but the funeral scene was dropped from the movie: http://www.historyforsale.com/html/printfriendly.asp?documentid=172744 The script was written and signed by Mel Blanc. Foghorn Leghorn, Yosemite Sam, Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse were also set to appear.
I think this bit of info about WFRR is worth sharing on the Elmer Fudd article. The main Roger Rabbit article talks about scenes cut from the film and some of the other character articles mention characters being considered for WFRR or dropped.
According to: http://www.goldenagecartoons.com/forums/printthread.php?t=11670&pp=40&page=2 You can spot the "Wild Hare" version of Elmer Fudd walking around the Maroon Cartoon lot with Bugs Bunny. Elmer appears shortly before Bugs makes his appearance. You can see it if you are viewing the widescreen version. Mavericker ( talk) 21:26, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Mavericker ( talk) 12:19, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
I asked about WFRR resources to indicate Elmer Fudd appearring in WFRR on the main article.
That Newsweek magazine article and that snippet from the Disney Encyclopedia I think are valid enough to cite from. Picture quality screenshots from WFRR showing Elmer Fudd appearing in the film, if anything, is enough to verify his appearance in the film. If that link from GAC isn't good enough by itself I was going to make screenshots of Elmer from the widescreen version of WFRR to verify this anyway. I am going to make a picture quality screenshot of the crowd scene in which Elmer Fudd's face can be seen and post a link to it.
How does anyone know what I posted isn't reliable?
I am still somewhat serious about citing references to WFRR in the Elmer Fudd article- I haven't looked into this in a while- I have much more important things to deal with. I am going to do this when I have the time.
Newsweek is a nationally accredited, syndicated and world-renown news magazine. It mentioned Elmer Fudd as being one of the licensed characters that appeared in Roger Rabbit, in the Who Is Roger Rabbit? article. Why wouldn't a citation from an article from Newsweek be a reliable source? No - I have not listed specific page numbers from this magazine or from the Disney Encyclopedia yet.
That part about the script I think is worth mentioning- it is about a scene not used in WFRR that Elmer was set to appeat in and I am going to post about when I post the entry about Elmer's cameo appearances on the Elmer Fudd article.
http://www.toonopedia.com/elmer.htm is listed as a reference at the bottom of the main Elmer Fudd article, and it mentions Elmer Fudd having a cameo in WFRR. Why is it they wouldn't let this be used as a source to verify that Elmer had a cameo in WFRR? When it was listed as a reference to WFRR they said it wasn't an original source.
Can someone else please help with this?

I still want to verify that Elmer Fudd had cameo appearances in WFRR - most of the other characters that cameoed in that film make mention of their camoes in WFRR on their articles. Elmer had a brief cameo at the end in the crowd of Toons and can be spotted early on in the film, but you can only see that in the widescreen version of the film.
Is there someone else who can please help me with this? Please help - thank you. 96.238.196.23 ( talk) 00:10, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
I made an error- he appears twice in the crowd scene, he also appears walking around on the Maroon Cartoon lot, but the Maroon Cartoon lot scene can only be seen in the widescreen version of the film. But what about the scene outside the Maroon Carton lot? Some other characters had passing scenes - how would that be different? I also want to mention he was scripted to appear in the unused funeral scene. Mavericker ( talk) 11:52, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
Why was Elmer's name taken of the list of WFRR cameos? Also, if a character DID IN FACT appear in this film, whether it was a brief cameo or no, why are you calling it trivial? Mavericker ( talk) 16:54, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
That isn't answering the question- forget books and magazines for a minute - wouldn't screenshots be valid enough to show he had cameo appearances in this film? Have you looked at other articles about characters that appeared in the film? Some of them simply mention they had cameos in the film, without them going into any detail about it. Showing that a character DID have a cameo and posting it in an article IS factual, and it should be on the list of WFRR cameos. I can make 3 screenshots to show he appeared THREE TIMES in the film- I am NOT focusing on ONE CAMEO. I am not intending to make a database - I just want to contribute something to an article and have sources to back this up. They are some characters listed on the WFRR camoes list that don't even have any mention of any cameo in WFRR on their article page. What is the big deal about including some info about a cameo(s) from a movie? It is a piece of film history. Yes, this is an encyclopedia, a source of information - it is going to go in "Later Appearances". I am sure that there are some folks who would be interested in knowing Elmer Fudd appeared in WFRR and where. They have tried to make mention of everything Elmer Fudd has appeared in up to the most current thing. Why do other articles mention characters appearing in WFRR and they aren't on the list of WFRR cameos? Mavericker ( talk) 17:54, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
I want to make picture quality screenshots and submit them as links to the article. Are we allowed to post links to pics at talk sections of articles, or if not, where can I show them first before I do that? And that still doesn't answer the question as to why they took his name off the cameo list, when it was stated where in the film he appeared. As said, I can give page numbers from a magazine and an animation encyclopedia to back this claim up. Mavericker ( talk) 18:08, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
Other people create screenshots of cartoons and movies that they own copies of on laserdiscs or DVDs or use stills from some other source, and upload them to articles as visuals. How is that a violation of copyright? Mavericker ( talk) 18:31, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
I don't have to own a DVD or laserdisc or VHS tape to make an image of a cartoon or movie - there's plenty of movie sites where I can make images. How did the people who posts stills from Elmer Fudd cartoons get away with posting them in the article? Mavericker ( talk) 18:53, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
That isn't true - some user uploaded ElmersCamera.jpg to this article and that pic qualified as "fair use". How could I get my screenshots to count as "fair use"? Mavericker ( talk) 19:05, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

In the last sentence of the first paragraph under the "Portrayal" heading, please delete the link for the name "Dave Barry" to the Wikipedia article on the famous American author and columnist Dave Barry ( /info/en/?search=Dave_Barry).
The source cited in Reference 9 is a IMDb Trivia page that does name "a" Dave Barry, but it does not assert that it is "the" same Dave Barry who is the subject of the Dave Barry Wikipedia article. Considering that the famous Dave Barry would have been a Sixth Grade student in Armonk, New York on November 1, 1958, I doubt he would have been doing voice acting for Warner Bros. in Hollywood during his school year. If it is the famous Dave Barry, some source for that should be cited. A reference to someone with the same name is insufficient. Yeoman007 ( talk) 23:37, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

In American gun culture, the term "Fudd" is used to refer to an amateur enthusiast who thinks themselves more skilled than they are, similar to use of "newb" in Internet culture. i.e. "This Fudd down at the range nearly knocked himself out with the recoil firing a full .357."
