Pepe Le Pew Quotes

Pepé Le Pew is a cartoon skunk (voiced by Mel Blanc) that was featured in Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoon series. He was an anthropomorphic French skunk that was a bit of a parody of an overtly aggressive French man in the form of a skunk. Pepe is constantly in search of a romance, particularly with his love interest Penelope.
His character first appeared in 1945. A typical story line in these cartoon skits is that he is trying to woo Penelope, who is a black female cat that he mistakes as a skunk. Penelope rejects him, Pepe is upset but not deterred. Penelope ultimately rejects his advances either due to his bad odor or overly aggressive behavior. He won’t take no for an answer and continues pursing her, and this same back and forth is basically repeated across many   vignettes.
As with all skunks, he ultimately scares people away with his odiferous behavior!

Video: Pepe Le Pew is Odor-able

Before we go, here’s another great video to watch – it’s a compilation of the many times that Pepé Le Pew was wooing Penelope Pussycat. He is on a constant quest to woo Penelope

The French skunk quest to get kitty Penelope (accidentally made skunk) she keeps running away from him anyway due to his putrid odor or because of his overly aggressive manner.

Quite fun and definitely a relic from a different era.

Summary

Pepé Le Pew was quite a crazy cartoon character – one that could not exist in today’s politically correct times. He is meant as a bit or ironic humor but that is often missed by his critics. At his core, he is an inappropriate and obnoxious character in the shape of a skunk. And skunks as we all know, keep people away with their offensive odor.
