That's uncanny, I thought about posting a Wile E. Coyote caption too.

What has always puzzled me about Wile E. Coyote, do you think none of his traps work because of his customer loyalty to ACME or simply, that he doesn't set them up right or because he doesn't come up with his own [he must be independently wealthy to afford so many] or is it that Road Runner is too cunning or plain lucky? Or is it a mixture?

It's a mystery how he failed, the traps did exactly what they said on the box and there was one for every devious plan so obviously ACME must have been a front runner for Amazon. So Road Runner must have been a genius or ACME trap inventor, meep meep

I did think that. I find that folk feel sympathy for Wile E. Coyote because he's comes across as an underdog with his traps never working and him getting hurt as a result, but then again should we? - he put himself in these positions in the first place. People can also find Road Runner annoying, cocky or smug every time a trap fails but Road Runner is simply living his/her life. Maybe it's to do with viewers frustrations that the traps should work but don't attitude so that's why they feel sympathy. And his torment is ongoing which is why he can't simply drop Road Runner and find another "meal".

On another note, have you ever watched Cheers? There's a great bar room conversation where Cliff and Norm discuss.
Norm: "How do you think Wile E. Coyote always survives?"
Cliff "Do you think he's the anti-christ?"

Road Runner was sooo smug that you wanted Wile E Coyote to catch him especially when Wile E was run over by the same ACME truck that was probably delivering his new trap he'd ordered. But in ordering new traps was that a defeatist attitude and that's why he never caught that darn Road Runner? He should have hunted a different meal as it all tastes like chicken anyway, doesn't it?
Norm and Cliff really did have some deep meaning thought provoking chats tho

No idea, I've never eaten Road Runner before There must be something special about Road Runner for this continued effort but then with some of the traps that Wile E. Coyote uses, I don't know if food would be on the table. I mean pulverising Road Runner with a boulder, how would you expect to strip meat from a carcass? Maybe Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner are warring factions and Road Runner's carrying a top secret message that Coyote has to stop? If it is to appease his hunger, I believe that Wile E. Coyote maybe a fast food junkie. Although he never gets his fix.

Having watched most of what David Attenborough has done I can't recall the coyote and road runner being mortal enemies episode, so is it even a thing or was it just a marketing ploy by ACME Independent Traders Ltd to break the US market. Perhaps your right with the top secret missions, and where we thought it was just bad luck with the traps not working for Wile E. Coyote it was in fact the messages self destructing... mission impossible style. With the pulverising of bird meat with a boulder I do believe there is such a fast food franchise in my local shopping centre called slim chicken.

I think I just wasted 5 minutes of my life. Humorous though 😁

I've always wondered if the way Wile never fell until he realised he was hanging in mid air inspired Douglas Adams: "There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss" (Life, the Universe and Everything).

James Lennox

James, that reminds me of the "theory" that nothing exists until it is observed (although it's not really a theory because it's untestable). Perhaps if he didn't look down, Wile E. Coyote could simply walk or run across to the next mountain or clifftop.

Two people converse in a bar.
Norm: "Wile E. Coyote falls off a Cliff and survives. How is that?"
Cliff: "That would be the Norm if he were the anti-christ."
Cheers.
