  • For Warner Bros.' 100th anniversary, they teamed up with Funko to release Looney Tunes Pops with a Scooby-Doo motif.

  • In the Velma episode "Private Velmjamin," Fred wants to return a nativity miniature model with the Looney Tunes to Father O'Rourke, after Fred briefly became Catholic. Elmer Fudd is baby Jesus, Sylvester is Joseph, Granny is Mary, and Daffy, Porky, and Bugs are the three wise men.
