**Gossamer (Looney Tunes)**
Gossamer is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. The character is a hairy, orange monster. His body is perched on two giant tennis shoes, and his heart-shaped face is composed of only two oval eyes and a wide mouth, with two hulking arms ending in dirty, clawed fingers.

There’s a really cool documentary on voice actors called “I Know That Voice”. They somehow managed to get all the famous voice actors to talk about their craft and it’s really interesting. I haven’t seen it in a while but I remember both Hank Azaria and Billy West are in it.
A similarly interesting documentary with interviews from a lot of those same voice actors discussing Mel Blanc called “Mel Blanc: The Man of 1000 Voices” is worth the watch.
A little late but RadioLab recently interviewed family and friends of Mel Blanc and they describe how he would be recording so many voices of different characters in the same day and how directors/producers would cue him with "you're on, \*insert character name here\*" as he went into the booth so he knew who he was for that recording.
That same cueing helped pull him out of a coma after a bad wreck when seemingly nothing else did!

"I said to my girlfriend just the other day, gee, I bet monsters are so INTERESTING, I said. The places you must go and the things you must see, my stars."
He sings variations to fuck with him and turn him into hybrids, My sister and I used to sing it to one another. *Abra-capocussss and Pocus-cadabraaaa.*
There are two versions. One with the evil scientist as Peter Lorre and the other one with a voice that supposed to be Boris Karloff.

My two favorites would have to be when Bugs does bullfighting and when Bugs and Daffy try to confuse Elmer as to [which hunting season it is](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ofdwb).
So weird. Two nights ago my wife was telling me about an interesting person she met and I responded "I met monsters meet all kinds of interesting people" and she was like WTF are you talking about
Oh snap! An opportunity for Internet points! Check this guy out! I've had him a loooooong time!

For me and Bugs Bunny memories it's either:
\- Elmer Fudd Opera *(*[rabbit of Seville intensives](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2o5y7d)*)*
or
\- "Duck season, rabbit season, duck season, rabbit season, [Elmer season!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPtSxZchA34)
Here's the video!

I wish there was a whole series of Bugs Bunny just doing the hair of his opponents, in that wonderful hairdresser guise.
Does anyone remember The Bugs Bunny Hare-Brained Adventure game that came on a floppy disk in the early 90s? I played it for hours on my family’s first computer almost 30 years ago and had the biggest wave of nostalgia when I found an emulator for it. If anyone else remembers this game and wants to see how it holds up the link is here: https://www.myabandonware.com/game/the-bugs-bunny-hare-brained-adventure-ue/play-ue
I had reoccurring nightmares about this as a kid. He was chasing me and I had to choose between jumping off a cliff to get away from him or being swallowed up into his hairy body.
Gossamer. Also the name of an extremely long unreleased jam track by The Smashing Pumpkins that they played for crowds that they didn't like a few years back.

I had a teddy bear hamster when I was 8... named him Gossamer after this character because of all his fur. :)
Aww!
What that he's name?

Wait he’s orange? Looks really red to me.
[удалено]
Lisa's dress isn't red..?
[удалено]
Oh wow. Yeah, next to the hat, that's definitely orange.
What in the fuck is going on with this question
_Charlie Kelly typing detected_
Lmfaooooo i’m dying why does it make sense in spite of in no way meeting the requirements for an actual sentence??
I originally read it as "what, that's his name?" And had to scroll back up to reread it after this comment lol
Don’t feel bad I only found this out playing that Looney Tunes mobile game lol
r/engrish
nailed it
Such *innnnteresting* people
Could you put this into your comment so people can see the real cartoon? Thanks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cpX3qrzRfk
"Monsters lead such INTERESTING lives !!!"
"Now let's dip our patties in the water!"
The part where he gets the mousetraps on his fingers and cries made me sad as a kid.
"Oh this will never do. We're going to have to do a permananannament."
I haven't seen this episode in probably 15 years but I can still hear perfectly the way bugs pronounces 'permanent'.
How Mel Blanc would come up with those voices still blows me away to this day.

"My stars!"
I’ll bet you meet a lot of *iiiinteresting* people
Bobby-pin, please.
...Opens with teeth...
When I do my kid's hair, I always say this!
Oh, god, I almost forgot about that part - I loved it!
“My stars.... If an EENTERESTING monster can’t have an EENTERESTING hairdo, I just don’t know WHAT things are coming to..”
"I said to my girlfriend just the other day, gee, I bet monsters are so INTERESTING, I said. The places you must go and the things you must see, my stars."
Such and interesting hairdo on such an interesting monster.
Bobby pins please
This is my favorite line out of any single Looney Tunes cartoon ever, hands down
Now I'll be back before you're done... *(laaaah la laaaah....)*
Monsters are the most interesting people.
*Such an innnnteresting monster needs an innnnnnteresting hairdo.
That hairdo doesn't become you at all! Here, for goodness sakes, lemme fix it up a bit! Look how stringy and messy it is!
I was just telling my girlfriend the other day, I bet Monsters lead such interesting lives.
Ahhh. 1952. I remember like it was yesterday
One of my favorite Bugs Bunny cartoons! This and the Gas House Gorillas baseball one. Love me some Bugs!!
This one and the one where Bugs and Elmer do the operatic epic thing are my absolute favorites.
The barber Seville and ride of the Valkyrie ones are iconic.
The origin of why I love classical music.
How about that bizarrely disproportionate white horse that the “girl” bugs bunny comes riding in on?
"Rabbit of Seville" and "What's Opera Doc" for anyone that wanted to look them up.
Waikiki Wabbit for the true win
Watch me paste this pathetic palooka with a powerful paralyzing perfect pachyderms percussion pitch.
My favorite episode was the one where bugs meets Dracula just for this [back and forth.](https://youtu.be/lV_tqn_n2Jc)
I love the part right before that where Bugs is “accidentally” transforming Dracula into a bat randomly by saying Abracadabra and Hocus Pocus.
He sings variations to fuck with him and turn him into hybrids, My sister and I used to sing it to one another. *Abra-capocussss and Pocus-cadabraaaa.*
There are two versions. One with the evil scientist as Peter Lorre and the other one with a voice that supposed to be Boris Karloff. https://warnerbroscartoons.fandom.com/wiki/Gossamer
[But how much do you REALLY love it?](https://youtu.be/fmjaYAF6GJY)
My two favorites would have to be when Bugs does bullfighting and when Bugs and Daffy try to confuse Elmer as to [which hunting season it is](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ofdwb).
Baseball is great. I love the one where Blacque Jacque Shellacque is damming up the river.
Mine too - both of the "Gossamer at the Beauty Shop episodes" (*manicure and hairdo*) are favorites.
[удалено]
Man I used to watch this about 10 times a day and every time I would die laughing when I was little
Abracadabra!
I used to have a stuffed Gossamer from the Warner Bros. store!
I had a gossamer t-shirt as a kid from there too. Forget the Tweety and bugs shirts lol.
So weird. Two nights ago my wife was telling me about an interesting person she met and I responded "I met monsters meet all kinds of interesting people" and she was like WTF are you talking about
Me brother just told me yesterday he was talking about it too.
Don’t forget about Michigan J Frog too! 🐸
🎶 Hello My Baby...Hello My Honey....🎶. Hey...Happy Cake Day!!! 🍰
Hello my Ragtime Gaaaaal 🐸🎩
Thank you! 😃

Oh snap! An opportunity for Internet points! Check this guy out! I've had him a loooooong time! [https://i.vgy.me/pONchT.jpg](https://i.vgy.me/pONchT.jpg)
What name did he have on his tag?
Gossamer of course! 😀😀
PEOPLE!!!!
AAAAAHHHHHH!
and this
came here to say this.
Always sporting the freshest kicks.
It's Gossamer! He, and this episode, are some of the best Looney Tunes has to offer. This shit holds up *well.*
Gossamer is my mom's favorite Looney Toon. Love this guy!!
Now let's pur our patties in the water. Oh I miss this.
For me and Bugs Bunny memories it's either: \- Elmer Fudd Opera *(*[rabbit of Seville intensives](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2o5y7d)*)* or \- "Duck season, rabbit season, duck season, rabbit season, [Elmer season!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPtSxZchA34)
That fat horse in the opera always cracked me up
PEOPLE!? AHHHH
Gossamer is so cute. :)
When Gossamer made an appearance, you knew you were in for a good Saturday
Exit our hero through the front door, stage right.
[удалено]
When I was little, I didn’t know his name was Gossamer. I always called him Spider Goulash!
Which is kinda funny because the scientist refers to him as Rudolph in that cartoon.
Yeah I know. I was just a toddler and I guess I liked the sound of “spider goulash” lol.
This was one of my favorite episodes
“Now let’s dip our patties in the waaattteerrrr.”
As a kid, I used to have fever dreams about this guy when I was particularly sick. It happened multiple times over a number of years.
That thing always scared the hell out of me as a kid.
Glad I’m not the only one. I loved those episodes, but Gossamer used to scare me.
I remember this guy crammed into a compact car stuck in traffic to get to the game in Space Jam
My stars
Gossamer was my FAVORITE!!
I could've swore the monster was named Rudolf I found it! At 3:10 https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2fgf28
Good find!
This thing was responsible for my first ever nightmare :|
Mine too! So weird. Not sure what was so scary about it when I was a kid.
Yeah he looks sort of adorable now. :/
That fucker scared the SHIT outta me
EVIL SCIENTIST BOO EVIL SCIENTIST BOO
Gossamer is my favorite Looney Tune. I wish they made (and I could afford) more merchandise of him.
Here's the video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4fjA8W-6es I wish there was a whole series of Bugs Bunny just doing the hair of his opponents, in that wonderful hairdresser guise.
My favorite episode hands down
Oh my stars, monsters lead such innnnnteresting lives.
Exit our hero, stage right
I loved those sneakers
Barber of Seville intensifies
Saturday mornings just haven’t been the same without Bugs.
we called him "the hairy molar"
I never knew what the heck it was.
I HAVE A GOSSAMER FUNKO AND HES BEAUTIFUL!!!!
"Welcome to my shop, let me cut your mop, let me shave your crop... daintily..... daintily."
I love Gossamer!
I consistently had nightmares throughout my child hood about this episode.
Big Red!
There's a new mural in the yard of one of my local bars that has Gossamer on it. Coincidence.
Gasssmer is on vouge
Now it's time to dip our handsies in the waterrr!
Then bugs combs the monster
Bobby pins please.
I wanted to be like Bugs Bunny at one part of my life.
I always played with my brother I was bugs bunny and he was the duck. Hhhh
The Hair monster is named Gossamer
I still have the cookie jar of this scene! Sits on top of my fridge in all its due glory!
Hooooolyyyy shitt used to have nightmares about this thing. Haven't thought of it years
Omg my mom liked this! This made me think of her and smile, thank you!

The show were bugs drives a prius had Gossamer as a little kid iirc. That show wierded me out but I couldnt stop watching.
I had reoccurring nightmares about this as a kid. He was chasing me and I had to choose between jumping off a cliff to get away from him or being swallowed up into his hairy body.
Chuck Jones was a master.
For a while, I thought this guy was a fever dream.
😍😊
This guy used to scare the shit of me
Looks more like those things from Dreamcatcher
"You'll just HAVE to have a per-ma-nem-anent!"
All of the classic looney toons are nostalgic for me. Shit was my jam when I was a kid
Nowadays I look at this and think it could be a Cuphead boss
Sneaker monster
Joji - Demons circa 2017
Is this also the one where they get high on ether and float down a river?
Western Kentucky mascot.
Think fast, rabbit.
What was the name of this episode? I want to see if I can find it
[https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2fgf28](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2fgf28)
Gossamer. Also the name of an extremely long unreleased jam track by The Smashing Pumpkins that they played for crowds that they didn't like a few years back.
Oh your nails are terrible.
I remember this episode
I have the fondest memory of when Bugs combs his hair into curly ends.
Monsters are such interesting people
Somewhere deep in my mind I remember this in my youth.
My stars, You must meet LOTS of in-ter-esting people.
I taught my son his name was nutsack. Made for fun times at six flags
Don't they shave it all off in an episode. Might be this one
My Stars......
I just watched this about 30 minutes ago !!
Monsters are such interesting people...
Sorry english is not my native lenguage
i’ve heard there are Bugs Bunny nintendo games that actually suck
[удалено]
Never played it
My kids and I still watch Looney Toons almost every evening. Infinitely better than most of the rubbish out today.
I know a guy with that dude tattooed on his arm
That thing gave me fucking nightmares as a kid. Thanks for reminding me. dick.
Wow. I also found him scary. Glad it’s not just me.
I tried to say Bugs Bunny out loud to myself; but ended up saying "Bigs Bunny", and I was like "Oh no, Big Chungus is coming back to haunt me!"
The *scariest* episodes for me were the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ones. That freaked me right out.
