Out and Out Rout is a 1966 Merrie Melodies short directed by Rudy Larriva.
== Plot ==
Wile E. Coyote attempts to capture Road Runner using various sets of schemes and objects:
# The coyote looks overboard using binoculars to see Road Runner running on the road. Wile E. skates down a ledge with a skateboard to catch up to Road Runner, but the bird stops on the side, causing Wile E. to hit a rock and nearly fall down the ledge. He grips onto a flower and pulls out the pedals of it until he grips back up from the ledge with the stem. However, he trips on the skateboard and falls off anyway.
# Wile E. uses a hunting falcon. However, the falcon refuses to obey the coyote's commands, and flies off grasping Wile E.'s glove. The coyote pulls his arm out of the glove, causing him to fall again.
# Wile E. reads a book of speed history, and finds about a god named Mercury, who had winged feet. He ties two doves to his feet and commends the doves to fly. However, he eventually flips upside down and gets pelted by cactus and rocks before hitting a ledge and falling off another canyon.
# Assembling a hot rod, Wile E. tries to ram Road Runner with it, however, much like the skateboard, the coyote is outsmarted again and flies off another ledge. The parachute doesn't help, as he shreds right through the front of the hot rod and falls down the canyon again, additionally getting slammed by a rock.
# Wile E. builds a wind sail. Unable to stop, he nearly falls off another ledge but manages to brake near the ledge. However, the sail opens again and pulls the coyote off.
# Wile E. paints glue onto part of the road. However, Wile E. gets caught in his glue trap in an attempt to whack Road Runner. Unable to get out, he is almost rammed by automobiles until he gets flattened by a steam roller driven by Road Runner himself.
After the deed is done, Road Runner beeps in victory.

== Censorship ==
* On CBS, starting in 1984, gags 1 and 2 were cut.https://www.kevinmccorrytv.ca/bbrr.html
== Notes ==
* This is the first short to slightly update the opening and ending titles for the DFE cartoons. The "PRESENTS" line no longer disappears when it is moving down, and the "WB" letters at the end each appear in 1 segment instead of two. Additionally, the Os in "CARTOON" at the end only enlarge twice instead of three times. This change would remain until the titles were changed in the Seven Arts cartoons.
** The only exception to this rule would be the next cartoon, "Mucho Locos", which would be the final cartoon to use the 1964-66-styled opening and ending abstract titles.
** This was likely done to better match the theme song. The prior closing sequence was designed by Chuck Jones, who used Big Ben and bicycle horn sounds, thus the sequence did not sync with the theme song.
* Despite its appearance in the title card, which would imply its importance in the cartoon (i.e. The Solid Tin Coyote), the hot rod was only used once in this episode.
