Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner

Wile Ethelbert Coyote "Genius" and the Road Runner are the main duos from the Looney Tunes cartoons, Road Runner is the protagonist and Wile E. Coyote is the antagonist/anti-hero.

Why They Rock

 * 1) The Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote have a great rivalry/chemistry with each other that it makes their rivalry one of the most memorable in cartoon history.
 * 2) Their designs are great.
 * 3) Wile E. Coyote's fall off a cliff is very iconic.
 * 4) Wile E. Coyote's expressions are very expressive and funny.
 * 5) The "Beep Beep" sounds that the Road Runner makes are very cute, as well as the cork-popping noise heard when he blows a raspberry.
 * 6) The ways Wile E. Coyote's traps for catching the Road Runner keep backfiring on him are very funny.
 * 7) They both use signs to communicate with each other, which makes it funnier.
 * 8) The Road Runner is so fast that he can even give other speedy characters a run for their money.
 * 9) The Road Runner is very optimistic and carefree while Wile E. Coyote is prideful and envious.
 * 10) The Road Runner outsmarts Wile E. Coyote by beeping behind him.
 * 11) They always follow Chuck Jones' rules for their cartoons correctly and don't screw up.
 * 12) A lot of their many Latin names on each cartoon are very funny.
 * 13) Not only is Wile E. Coyote targeting the Road Runner, but he also wanted to capture Bugs Bunny.
 * 14) For nostalgic fans of them, Wile E. Coyote is better than Road Runner in hindsight when serving as the ultimately amusing if sympathetic incompetent between the two.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Their rivalry with each other started to become tiresome around the Larriva Eleven, even the Road Runner was Flanderized around that time.
 * 2) The Road Runner can be a little cruel to Wile E. Coyote at times, mainly during the Rudy Larriva era.
 * 3) They can break the rules to their cartoons from time to time.
 * 4) Like Sylvester, Wile E Coyote can be a punching bag in a predictable fashion when he typically fails (this is especially evident where he was also often described as the epitome of the butt-monkey of Western Animation) and the constant, running gag of Wile's ineptitude can get a bit stale.
 * 5) Even though the Road Runner has a great design, he looks absolutely nothing like his real-life counterpart.
