The A-Z of Yosemite Sam's Insults

It's Yosemite Sam from the classic Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies shorts from the 40's to the 60's, with all of his insults alphabetized from A to Z. This list is focused on the Mel Blanc era of cartoons, so only the theatrical shorts are included as well as the three movie appearances of the Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie, Daffy Duck's Fantastic Island and Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit's Tales.
If you enjoyed this video, be sure to check out my other A-Z insult lists:
King Koopa - • The A-Z of King Koopa'...
Dr. Eggman - • The A-Z of Dr. Eggman'...
Skeletor - • The A-Z of Skeletor's ...
Dick Dastardly - • The A-Z of Dick Dastar...
Dr. Robotnik - • The A-Z of Dr. Robotni...
King Dedede - • The A-Z of King Dedede...
Here's a bit of trivia on this list:
- This video contains 190 insults.
- His most common insult, perhaps unsurprisingly, is varmint(s) with 25 uses. This isn't counting compound variants that include the word varmint.
- The letter group with the most insults is S with 34 insults.
- Sam left a lot of letters on the table. The letters with no insults are E, J, K, Q, X and Z.
- We have a tie for the most insults in a single cartoon. Both Mutiny on the Bunny and Knighty Knight Bugs had 10 insults.

This was actually edited in alphabetic order. I’m impressed.

[@dr.crazystein9536]

One of the 1st Looney Tune Characters with a lot of insults

[@BrandonKohout]

No wonder Yosemite Sam is a ticking time bomb of temperament.

[@bengray8637]

Never mind being a ticking time bomb, it amazes me how Yosemite Sam is always lashing out.

[@animeeddy]

Man, i forgot how Yosemite talks. Thanks for your amazing work

[@thetonberryslair]

Gotta love Looney Tunes

[@jasondonnelly6058]

I wish they could repeat these cartoons again even at 42 I still love them today x

[@judyemmstoyradio3064]

MeTV just launched a channel dedicated to classic cartoons and they've been airing plenty of classic Looney Tunes

[@Rubberman202]

Here's a bit of trivia regarding ol' Yosemite Sam: he was created by Friz Freleng to be a more better antagonist to Bugs Bunny compared to Elmer Fudd, who Freleng always disliked for being a dim-witted pushover. Granted, Sam never had better luck against Bugs Bunny, but at least Sam was much more of an aggressive jerk to Bugs, meaning Bugs could get away with his "karmic trickster" tendencies more easily with him.

[@dr.crazystein9536]

What about those Martians in Looney Tunes?

[@stephenholloway6893]

Supposedly he was based on Friz's temper as well.

[@mordecaimaster19]

now we want to hear A to Z of Daffy Ducks insults

[@dr.crazystein9536]

Along with others like Elmer Fudd and Marvin the Martian

[@malvinderkaur541]

I love them, all of them always have loved them since childhood 😊

[@robbiewalker2831]

2:08: Sam said “Dude” in a classic short. Never thought I hear that.

[@maureencora1]

I Liked When a Comedian Said in a Yosemite Sam's Voice "I Hate That F-ing Rabbit" LOL, (smile)

[@mickey2866]

9:58 You'll pay for this varmint!

[@mrduckandBubbles]

Could you do the other Looney Tunes characters? I.E Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, etc.

[@stephenholloway6893]

Mel had fun with the insults depite it being difficult on his throat.

[@JohnCarpenter-pl7du]

He is one of my favorite looney tunes characters!

[@ryaku5]

Seems like his two most favorite insults were Varmint and Stupid.

[@davidwesley2525]

Yosemite Sam is a Little Bad Ass with a Big Mouth. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@dr.crazystein9536]

Yeah, no kidding. Compare to Yosemite Sam....... Daffy Duck is nothing more than Bugs Bunny's infamous shadow The Tasmanian Devil is just loving to eat Willie E. Coyote really never succeeds with worst luck Elmer Fudd still sucked at hunting animals Dr. Moron is already a literal moron Gossamer is somehow an OG Red Guy from Don't Hug Me I'm Scared Witch Hazel just needed a handsome man after creating a beauty recipe Beaky Buzzard is more of a flightless dumbass Rocky, Mugsy, and Nasty Canasta loves to steal money Hugo the Abominable Snowman is already a softie Toro gets angered easily without counting 10 Cecil the Turtle is just a speeding polar opposite Pete Puma, Giovanni Jones, "Blacque" Jacque Shellaque, and Nazis are more of off-key cameos And Martians in Looney Tunes wanted to conquer universes with unlicensed bio-weaponry

[@Chucky_Martinez]

I'm not sure if the remainder of King Koopa's insults from the remainder of his time in the Animated Super Mario Cartoon's are shown anywhere else, I'm sure its not that many so it could be done for a Part 2 Bonus

[@xRed5433x]

Initially I only included clips from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show in order to keep it all concise and to keep the video from being too long, but one day I may go back and put together a "complete" version that includes the Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World.

[@tranigilles5517]

Toutes mon enfance j’ai été bercé par ces merveilleux dessins animés 👌👌👌

[@christhordsen7305]

9:28 Say your prayers, Varmint!

[@OctacleEdits]

This is quite a compilation! I see you’ve done a lot of A-Z of insults. Maybe the next character could be Shredder from TMNT. (Update: seem’s someone’s already done it)

[@davidwesley2525]

4:56. Yosemite Sam STOP Breathing on Me You ID JIT . Dragons are So Stupid.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍

[@user-fh8yh1wd5q]

It's Too Bad They Don't Make Cartoon T.V Shows Like This Anymore Best Believe It's The Honest Truth.

[@MariaLopez-ti4oo]

What shorts or cartoons or whatever are all of theses from

[@xRed5433x]

These are from various Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies shorts from the 40’s-60’s, as well as a few of the early movies.

[@IloveRio-fp1vg]

Can you do Vlad Plasmius/Masters from Danny Phantom next please?

[@xRed5433x]

I'm not really familiar with that show, but maybe I can give it some consideration somewhere down the line.

[@IloveRio-fp1vg]

@@xRed5433x Ok.

[@JadenMoon1475]

*_The Capt. loves travel ???_*

[@xRed5433x]

It says, “The Capt. loves Gravel Gertie.” This is a character from the Dick Tracy comics who is depicted as an ugly woman who lives in a gravel pit, hence why Sam would be humiliated to be associated with such a character.
