Because I enjoyed it, the last time I saw it, I have to ask what makes it the "Worst LT Short." Granted, I don't know what "LT" stands for, so I might agree with you. (edit: AH! LT = Loony Toons)

However, if you don't want to answer and get other's input without "coloring" the responses, I understand. I thought it was silly. Elmer Fudd was ridiculously silly, as I recall.

YouTube video, in three parts.
The Stupid Cupid part 1
The Stupid Cupid part 2
The Stupid Cupid part 3

Watching it again, I do recall I was annoyed that he was shooting males and the females did not have any say in the matter, but it was quite silly.


"A" Stupid Cupid. Not The Stupid Cupid. This song was before my time, 1958. My time was 1959.

Ironically, I find Connie Francis's life a bit sad. She and Bobby Darin were in love, but Connie's dad forbade their relationship.
In 1974, "The Stupid Cupid" metaphorically shot someone, and they raped Connie Francis at knife point. There is nothing silly about that.

I thought it was quite funny. The joke with the cat having to shoot itself 9 times was darkly humourous.

It was a weak ending though.

Is it because Elmer is in a nappy you don't like it?

It's not the worst Loony Tunes/Merrie Melodies short. The worst short is said to be "See You Later Gladiator", made during the Daffy vs. Speedy Gonzales era of the 60s. Or at least it's one of the worst shorts. There are a few others but Stupid Cupid isn't on the list.

Just because other are saying it's bad just to troll you doesn't mean that it is. But human beings are horrible and they love to make others miserable just to be entertained by them being upset. The internet allows people to be insanely cruel and they hypersexualize everything. It's just sad and gross and the asteroid that's supposed to hit the earth soon can come quickly enough. :evil:

Elmer is supposed to be Cupid, so I see nothing wrong or sexual about him being in a diaper. But other humans have turned everything into a fetish recently so they're probably either trolling about diaper fetishism or saying they get turned on by it.

Humans are sick. I don't mean sick as in "Woah dude that's like totally sick", but "sick" as in "We are an irredeemably horrible species and we deserve to go extinct". :evil:

Yeah, it's not even really Elmer is it? It's Cupid, who just happens to look like Elmer. He doesn't behave like Elmer, or talk like Elmer.
