52 Pepé Le Pew

## Pepé Le Pew

**Pepé Le Pew** is a character in the *Looney Tunes* and *Merrie Melodies* series. An anthropomorphic French skunk, Pepé is in search of romance, but his scent, self-delusion, and his overly persistent manner inhibit his efforts.

## Concept

Chuck Jones first introduced the character, originally named **Stinky**, and once called **Henry**, in the 1945 short "Odor-able Kitty". This differs from later entries in several areas: Pepé spends his time in pursuit of a male cat, who has disguised himself as a skunk with a Limburger scent in order to scare off a bunch of characters mistreating him; in the closing gag, Pepé is revealed to be a philandering, hen-pecked American skunk named Henry with a wife and children. For the remaining cartoons Jones directed, Pepé retained his accent, nationality, and bachelor status throughout.

There have been theories that Pepé was based on Maurice Chevalier. However, in the short film *Chuck Jones: Memories of Childhood*, Chuck says Pepé was actually based on himself, but that he was very shy with girls, and Pepé obviously was not. A prototype Pepé appears in the 1948 cartoon "Bugs Bunny Rides Again", but sounds similar to Porky Pig.

An antecedent in 1944's "I Got Plenty of Mutton" is a ram called Killer Diller that behaves very much as Pepé later would, pursuing a reluctant female, speaking with a French accent (Mel Blanc used the same voice as he would for Pepé), smothering the female with kisses, constantly turning up in the victim's hiding places, and nonchalantly bouncing after a frantically scrambling target.

## Typicals

Pepé Le Pew cartoons typically feature the amorous polecat pursuing what he believes is a "female skunk." Usually, however, the supposed female skunk is actually a black cat who runs away from Pepé because of either his putrid odor or overly assertive manner or both, but the skunk won't take "no" for an answer, and hops after her at a leisurely pace.

A running gag often found in the Pepe Le Pew cartoons are instances of the side characters encountering skunks (either Pepe or any cat in skunk disguises, such as Penelope Pussycat) and fleeing away from their putrid odor and/or skunk-like appearances in a comical fashion at the start of the cartoon. Very often, since the Pepe series are set in France beginning with the Academy Award-winning "For Scent-imental Reasons", many of these side characters tend to react to this with exaggerated French accents (and very often, are given minimal dialogue, often nothing more than a repulsed, "Le pew!").

A skunk often identified as Pepé appears in the Art Davis-directed cartoon "Odor of the Day" (1948); in this entry, the theme of romantic pursuit is missing as the skunk (in a nonspeaking role, save for a shared "Gesundheit!" at the finish) vies with a male dog for lodging accommodations on a bitterly cold night. This should be noted as one of the two cartoons where the character, if this is indeed Pepé, used his scent-spray as a deliberate weapon: delivered from his tail in a machine gun-like fashion. The other one is "Touché and Go", where he frees himself from the jaws of a shark.

## Role-Reversals

In a role-reversal, the Academy Award-winning short "For Scent-imental Reasons" ends with an accidentally painted (and, at this point, terrified) Pepé being amorously pursued by a love-struck Penelope (who has been dunked under dirty water, leaving her with a ratty guise as well as a developing head cold that has completely clogged up her nose). Penelope locks him up inside a perfume shop, hides the key down her chest, and proceeds to turn the tables on the now-imprisoned and effectively odorless Pepé.

In another short, "Little Beau Pepé", Pepé, attempting to find the most arousing cologne with which to impress Penelope, sprays a combination of perfumes and colognes upon himself. This results in something close to a love-potion, leading Penelope to fall madly in love with Pepé. Pepé is revealed to be extremely frightened of overly-affectionate women, as Penelope quickly captures him and smothers him in more love than even he could imagine.

And yet again, in "Really Scent", Pepé removes his odor by locking himself in a deodorant plant so Penelope (or "Fabrette," as she is called in this cartoon) would like him (this is also the only film-short in which Pepé is acutely aware of his own odor, having checked the word "P.U." in a dictionary). However, Penelope (who in this cartoon is actually trying to have a relationship with Pepé because all the male cats of New Orleans take her to be a skunk and run like blazes, but is appalled by his odor) has decided to make her own odor match her appearance and has locked herself in a Limburger cheese factory. Now more forceful and demanding, Penelope quickly corners the terrified Pepé, who, after smelling her new stench, wants nothing more than to escape the amorous female cat. Unfortunately, she will not take "no" for an answer and proceeds to chase Pepé off into the distance, with no intention of letting him escape. (Credited to Abe Levitow, this cartoon is the only film-short in the *Pepé Le Pew* series not directed by Chuck Jones, besides the disputable "Odor of the Day").

Although Pepé usually mistakes Penelope for a female skunk, in "Past Perfumance", he realizes that she is a cat when her stripe washes off. Undeterred, he proceeds to cover his white stripe with black paint, taking the appearance of a cat before resuming the chase.

Penelope is always mute (more precisely - does only natural cat sounds) in these stories; only the self-deluded Pepé speaks (several non-recurring human characters are given minimal dialogue, often nothing more than a repulsed, "Le pew!").

Throughout the 90s, merchandise, including statuettes, apparel, and framed pictures, mostly from the now defunct Warner Brothers studio store, showed Pepe and Penelope as a mutually loving couple.

## Subversions

Sometimes this formula is subverted. In his debut appearance, "Odor-able Kitty", Pepé (technically he is a different character because he is eventually revealed to be an American-accented family skunk named "Henry" with two sons and a wife who beats him up for his "unfaithfulness") unwittingly pursues a *male* cat who disguises himself as a skunk. "Scent-imental over You" has Pepé pursuing a female dog who has donned a skunk pelt (mistaking it for a fur coat). In the end, she removed her pelt, revealing that she's a dog. Pepe then, "revealed" himself as another dog and the two embrace. However, he later revealed to the viewers that he's indeed a skunk. In "Wild over You", Pepé attempts to woo a wildcat who has escaped from a zoo (during what is called "Le grande tour du Zoo" at the start of the 20th century exhibition), and painted itself to look like a skunk to escape its keepers. This cartoon is notable for not only diverging from the usual Pepé/Penelope dynamic, but also rather cheekily showing that Pepé likes to be beaten up, considering the wildcat thrashes him numerous times.

## Production

Chuck Jones, Pepé's creator, wrote that Pepé was based (loosely) on the personality of screenwriter Tedd Pierce, a self-styled "ladies' man" who reportedly always assumed that his infatuations were requited. Chuck also created Pepé because he saw Pepé as the person he wanted to be as a young man, thinking of himself as "unattractive". Pepé's voice, provided by Mel Blanc, was based on Charles Boyer's Pépé Le Moko from *Algiers,* a remake of the 1937 French film *Pépé Le Moko.*Template:Citation needed

Eddie Selzer, animation producer (and Chuck's bitterest foe) at Warner Bros. Cartoons then once profanely commented that no one would laugh at those cartoons. However, this did not keep Eddie from accepting an award for one of Pepé's pictures several years later.Template:Citation needed

In the shorts, a kind of fake French is spoken and written primarily by adding "*le*" to English words (example: "*le* skunk *de* pew"), or by more creative mangling of French expressions with English ones, such as "*Sacre* Maroon!", "My sweet peanut of brittle", "Come to me, my little melon-baby collie!" or "Ah, my little darling, it is love at first sight, is it not, no?", and "It is love at sight first!" The screenwriter responsible for these malapropisms was Michael Maltese.Template:Citation needed

Some transcribed Maltese dialogue from the Oscar-winning 1949 short "For Scent-imental Reasons":

* Pepé: "*Affaire d'amour? Affaire de coeur? Je ne sais quoi ... je vive en espoir.* \*Sniff.\* Mmmm m mm ... *un smella vous finez ...* \*Hum.\*"
* *Gendarme:* "Le kittee quel terrible odeur!!"
* Proprietor: "Allais Gendarme!! Allais!! Retournez-moi!! This instonce!! Oh, pauvre moi, I am ze bankrupt ... \*Sob!\*"
* Penelope: "Le mew, le purrrrrrr."
* Proprietor: "A-a-ahhh. Le pussy ferocious! Remove zot skunk! Zot cat-pole from ze premises!! Avec!!"
* Penelope: "\*Sniff, sniff, sniff-sniff, sniff-sniff.\*"
* Pepé: "*Quel est?* \*Notices Penelope.\* Ahh...*le belle femme skunk fatale*...\*clicks tongue twice.\*"

Mel Blanc's voice for the character resembles the one he used for Professor Le Blanc, the harried violin instructor in *The Jack Benny Program.*

## Cameos

A possible cameo appearance is at the end of "Fair and Worm-er" (Chuck Jones, 1946). This skunk doesn't speak, but looks identical (or is a close relation) and shares the same mode of travel and a slight variation of Pepé's hopping music. His function here is to chase a string of characters who had all been chasing each other (à la "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly").

Pepé himself made a more obvious cameo in "Dog Pounded" (1954), where he was attracted to Sylvester after the latter tried to get around a pack of guard dogs, in his latest attempt to capture and eat Tweety, by painting a white stripe down his back (in his only appearance in a Freleng short).

Pepé possibly makes a small appearance as a baby skunk in "Mouse-Placed Kitten" (1959), where he is reluctantly adopted by a mouse couple at the cartoon end.

## Later Appearances

Pepé makes an appearance at the beginning of the "The Oswald Awards" section of the 1981 compilation movie Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie.

Pepé made several cameo appearances on the 1990 series *Tiny Toon Adventures* as a professor at Acme Looniversity and the mentor to the female skunk character Fifi La Fume. He appeared briefly in "The Looney Beginning" and had a more extended cameo in "It's a Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special". The segment "Out Of Odor" from the episode "Viewer Mail Day" saw character Elmyra disguise herself as Pepé in an attempt to lure Fifi into a trap, only to have Fifi begin aggressively wooing her.

Pepé also makes cameo appearances in the *Histeria!* episode "When America Was Young" and in the Goodfeathers segment, "We're No Pigeons", on *Animaniacs*.

In the 1995 animated short "Carrotblanca", a parody/homage of the classic film *Casablanca*, both Pepé and Penelope appear: Pepé (voiced by Greg Burson) as Captain Renault and Penelope (voiced by Tress MacNeille) as "Kitty Ketty," modeled after Ingrid Bergman performance as Ilsa. Unlike the character's other appearances in cartoons, Penelope (as Kitty) has extensive speaking parts in *Carrotblanca.*

In the *The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries* episode "Platinum Wheel of Fortune", Sylvester gets a white stripe on his back and a skunk immediately falls in love with him. This is not Pepé, but his fourth cousin, "Pitu Le Pew". He says, "What can I say, Pepé Le Pew is my fourth cousin. It runs in the family". Pepé would later appear in the episode "Paris is Stinking", where he pursues Sylvester who is unintentionally dressed in drag. Pepé would appear once more in *Tweety's High-Flying Adventure*, falling in love with both Sylvester and Penelope (Sylvester had gotten a white stripe on his back from Penelope as they fought over Tweety), actually showing a preference for Sylvester.

Pepé also appears in *Space Jam*, where his voice has curiously been changed into an approximation of Maurice Chevalier, as opposed to more traditional vocalization.

Pepé was, at one point, integral to the storyline for the movie *Looney Tunes Back in Action*. Originally, once Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, DJ, and Kate arrived in Paris, Pepé was to give them a mission briefing inside a gift shop. Perhaps because of the group receiving their equipment in Area 52, Pepé's scene was cut, and in the final film, he plays only a bit part, dressed like a police officer, who tries to help DJ (played by Brendan Fraser) after Kate (played by Jenna Elfman) is kidnapped.Template:Citation needed

However, some unused animation of him and Penelope appears during the end credits, thus giving viewers a rare glimpse at his cut scene, and his cut scene appears in the movie's print adaptations.

Pepe also appeared in *Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas*, working in the Lucky Duck Department store, as a more controlled but still quite amorous perfume salesman trying to sell perfume to Penelope. She's still put off by his odor, though after Daffy's rude and aggressive sales pitch, It's the duck she clobbers. Ultimately, Penelope is the one who pulls Pepe into a romantic embrace and under the mistletoe.

In *Loonatics Unleashed*, a human based on Pepé Le Pew named Pierre Le Pew (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) has appeared as one of the villains of the second season of the show. Additionally, Pepé and Penelope Pussycat appear as cameos in a display of Otto the Odd, in the series. In the episode "The World is My Circus", Lexi Bunny complains that "this Pepé Le Pew look is definitely not me" after being mutated into a skunk-like creature.

A 2009 Valentine's Day-themed AT&T commercial brings Pepé and Penelope's relationship up to date, depicting Penelope not as repulsed by Pepé, but madly in love with him. The commercial begins with Penelope deliberately painting a white stripe on her own back; when her cell phone rings and displays Pepé's picture, Penelope's lovestruck beating heart bulges beneath her chest in a classic cartoon image.

Pepé Le Pew has appeared in the *The Looney Tunes Show* episode "Members Only" voiced by René Auberjonois. He also made a short cameo appearance with Penelope Pussycat in the *Merrie Melodies* segment "Cock of the Walk" sung by Foghorn Leghorn. He appeared in his own music video "Skunk Funk" in the 16th episode "That's My Baby". He also appeared again in another *Merrie Melodies* segment "You Like/I Like" sung by Mac and Tosh. His first appearance in the second season was in the second episode, entitled, "You've Got Hate Mail", reading a hate-filled email accidentally sent by Daffy Duck.

Pepé Le Pew made a cameo in a MetLife commercial in 2012 titled, "Everyone". In it, he was shown hopping along in the forest and when he sees his love interest, Penelope, atop the back of Battle Cat, he immediately hops after her.

Pepé Le Pew has appeared in *Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run* voiced by Jeff Bergman.

In *New Looney Tunes*, Pepé Le Pew is a James Bond-esque spy who hits on Claudette Dupri.

Pepe made a cameo in the *Looney Tunes Cartoons* short "Happy Birthday Bugs Bunny!" The character was removed when the short was released as *Warner Bros. - 60th Anniversary* on the Annecy Festival's YouTube channel.

Pepé appeared in the *Animaniacs* segment "Yakko Amakko", being placed on top of Yakko Warner's ice cream cone by an offscreen animator a la Duck Amuck and then promptly erased.

## Controversy

In 2021, controversy arose over Pepé's sexually aggressive antics that have been compared to sexual harassment ever since *New York Times* columnist Charles M. Blow accused the character of promoting rape culture. This led to the 7 March announcement that Pepé Le Pew had been removed from the 2021 film *Space Jam A New Legacy*. Articles report that Warner Bros. plans no future appearances of the character in subsequent *Looney Tunes* media.. Pepé was planned to appear in *Space Jam A New Legacy* during the Casablanca world scene when Terence Nance was directing in 2019. He originally was planned to appear alongside Jane the Virgin actress Greice Santo in a scene where LeBron James tells Pepé about consent. As Terence Nance was replaced by Malcolm D. Lee weeks into filming, the scene was cut out of the film due to creative differences. The scene was rewritten to feature Yosemite Sam in Casablanca world.

Linda Jones-Clough, daughter of Pepé's creator Chuck Jones, was unhappy about this claim that the Pepé Le Pew character glamorized rape culture . She defended against those claims, claiming that Pepé did not rape any female character in the show, nor did he inspire rape and sexual harassment cases in real life. In fact, when Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese created Pepé Le Pew back in the 1940s, it wasn't intended to glorify bad behavior or to cause outrage, but to poke fun as screenwriter Tedd Pierce's "ladies' man" status and his then-lack of success with romancing women at the time. "Pierce's attitude toward sex 'was direct and uncompromising'," Jones wrote in his 1989 memoir, *Chuck Amuck: The Life and Times of an Animated Cartoonist*, adding, "It was only logical, of course, that Tedd would be in on the beginnings of Pepé Le Pew. … His devotion to women was at times pathetic, at times psychological, but always enthusiastic. Tedd could not really believe that any woman could honestly refuse his honestly stated need for her."

Despite this, Pepé made a cameo in the *Animaniacs* segment "Yakko Amakko" which debunks the reports of him being removed from future Warner Bros. projects.

## Film

Template:Unreferenced

Main article: Pepé Le Pew (film)

In October 2010, it was reported that Mike Myers would voice Pepé Le Pew in a feature-length live action film based on the character, although no information about this project has surfaced since. In July 2016, it was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con that Max Landis was penning a Pepé Le Pew feature film for Warner Bros. There has been no new information since then due to sexual assault allegations against Max Landis in 2017. On 8 March 2021, the film was confirmed to be scrapped because of the development of *Space Jam A New Legacy*.
