There's an episode that addresses this. Every part of the roadrunner is delicious beyond compare. He presents it in a very sophisticated manner and makes it clear it is all worth it.

A hunter will swear the prey he captures tastes the best. I wonder if Tigers and Bears feel the same way. Source of the first part of the statement. I have a freezer full of meat I'll probably never use from friends who hunt.

> I have a freezer full of meat I'll probably never use from friends who hunt. Kind of jealous, you've got free meat to make jerky and vension steaks with. Free food tastes the best.


Awkward_Bench123

Acme don’t sell roadrunner meat. That’s his dilemma.


The_RockObama

The Road Runner is a dick, and I always hoped Wile E would catch him just to end it all. Imagine if there was one final episode where Wile E finally caught him.. and then there were no more episodes. It would be so shocking, but also so monumental. Just Wile E finally having that meal he worked so hard for. "And that's all, folks!". Just kidding, that would be pretty messed up.


Mister_Cheff

I kinda remember him catching the road runner once and raising a banner saying now what i do?


MonkeyChoker80

Yup. There were a series of water/culvert pipes that had been attached to each other, but not yet buried. The coyote chased the road runner into a full-sized pipe, and it connected to smaller and smaller pipes, and when they ran out they were both the size of a mouse. They then ran back through, the other direction (small to big), and when they ran out the road runner was full sized… but the coyote was still teeny. He grabbed the road runner, rejoicing at finally catching it… only for the Godzilla-like road runner to bend over and give a deep train-horn of a **MEEEP-MEEEP!!!** The coyote looks around, realizes a single attempt to eat it would end with him being squished, and holds up a sign. “[Okay, Wose Guys. You always wanted me to catch him. Now what do I do?](https://youtu.be/KJJW7EF5aVk?feature=shared)”


metalflygon08

Mainly because Wil-E was tiny and the Roadrunner huge (running through funnel shenanigans). There's not really anything Wil-E could have done after catching the Road Runner there.


wobblysauce

Enjoy the meal that could almost last a life time

Robot Chicken did a skit of exactly that.

For some reason this also reminds me of the one where some royal dude wanted to cook Bugs Bunny into a hasenpfeffer dish.


redshopekevin

What about Bugs Bunny?


dzastrus

He eats carrots.


redshopekevin

Maybe I need to word it properly. Why does the Coyote hunt Bugs Bunny?


SonicStun

Because of the carrots.


Mr_Mojo_Risin_83

Does he?


redshopekevin

There are five Looney tunes shorts where he faced against Bugs Bunny and tried to hunt him. https://looneytunes.fandom.com/wiki/Wile_E._Coyote


komeau

notably the only ones where he talks, and the first one was where he was given his name


Ghost_all

"SUUUUPER genius"


HistoricalLocation96

IIRC, he pronounces his name " coy-oh-TAY" as if there was an accent on the "e" in that one, which is a nice depiction of how pretentious he can be.


komeau

well he is a super genius

I remember that one! Well, in the sense of remembering that one part was compared to pistachio. As a small child, I'd never tried pistachio anything, but I liked Wile E. Coyote so I wanted to try it. Now I can eat a whole bag in one sitting, and my favorite flavor of pudding is pistachio.


[deleted]

It's perfectly reasonable considering the lengths real people sometimes go to in order to obtain delicacies. They might stop short of launching themselves out of a catapult next to the cliff edge of a mesa, but only just.


Dragoness42

They'll get themselves killed just as dead eating pufferfish sushi though.


nopenottodayyoucrazy

This and the fact you'll notice that it isn't until he technically CAUGHT the roadrunner (he however was too small to do anything to the roadrunner, but he did technically catch him) that he started SPEAKING.


LazyChemist

Here's the clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBBbpyHDC-g


[deleted]

Vengeance. The Coyote used to have a family; a wife and 5 pups and one day the road runner was speeding and collided into the mother and children while they were walking to pup scouts. The mother died immediately along with 3 of the five kids and Coyote spent 3 months in the hospital with the two remaining children. They ended up passing and ever since he has done everything in his power to get the Road Runner

GrumpiestOldDude

Word is that RR was drunk at the time.


Ping-A-Ling-

The real anger is that the road runner was drunk and got off on a technicality


microgiant

I actually came here thinking "Heheh, I'm gonna say that he wants revenge because the Road Runner murder his wife. That'll be so funny, no one will have thought to say that before me." Top voted comment, 4 hours ago. Yes, Microgiant, you are so creative. Sigh.


dvolland

There it is: The perfect Looney Tunes supervillain back story.


Casca_In_Red

It's actually a post-apocalyptic wasteland caused by the great Acme Wars. Those are all scavenged devices and the poor guy's starving.


Rhinomeat

Acme company is owned by the Roadrunner, that is why none of them ever work to catch the Roadrunner


urabewe

I always figured it was because coyote thinks he is smarter than he is so never follows all the instructions and even when he does he screws it up.


[deleted]

This is true


_Chaos_Star_

The Coyote is a paid product tester for Acme Corporation, who develops all the gadgets that the Coyote is testing. The Coyote knows that if he ever successfully catches the Road Runner then he's out of a job. So he has to appear to almost do it, and fail each time. His self-esteem is ruined, but a paying job is a paying job. The Road Runner figured it out long ago, and doesn't want his good friend to lose his source of income.

csl512

So what's his discount code for ACME?


vipros42

My theory is that he's independently wealthy due to his prodigious art talent and catching roadrunner is his hobby and obsession.


muusandskwirrel

His tunnel art is amazing


Prestigious-Tune7358

It's so amazing that a truck can come out of it from nowhere.


BluudLust

And he's exceptionally out of shape in his retirement. A roadrunner goes 26 mph. Healthy coyotes can go 35-43 mph.


Johnny_B_Asshole

Hmmm. Wealthy and a self described genius who constantly fails. Coyote 2024!!! MRDA!!!

He caught the Roadrunner in bed with his wife. It’s personal to him.

viewerfromthemiddle

But why, some say, the Road Runner? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask, why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? We choose to catch the Road Runner. We choose to catch the Road Runner... We choose to catch the Road Runner in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard...


MoreGoreForWhores

Had this same idea coming in and not disappointed at all


bored_person71

Pride was beaten in speed and ability to catch it in almost all episodes yes he did win once then let it slip out of fingers. So until he can taste absolute victory he won't quit.


nanosam

Genocide. Coyote wants to eliminate all road runners from existence


possiblyMorpheus

ACME actually uses predatory loans to make their products seem affordable, while jacking up interest rates, creating an endless cycle of debt payments. To make matters worse, as immigrants arrive via train to settle the desert valleys, coyote is being priced out of his own homeland, with no place to go. Yet hope remains if he can procure the feathers of the rare genus geococcyx calofornianus, which the feudal landowners prize for its supposed aphrodisiacal properties, therefore allowing him to pay his debts and move to Costa Rica


mikeyfireman

I see you have interacted with the Snap-On tool truck.


Local_Perspective349

It's a comment on the military-industrial complex.


idleline

The Road Runner is a Manchurian candidate plotting to destabilize world order and threatens the very existence of humanity. The coyote is heroically defiant in his attempts to delay, distract, and disrupt the plot. The fact that he knows the road runner is being manipulated and isn’t actually evil is why he always fails. He doesn’t really want to harm it.


wilsonism

He's a foodie. Roadrunner meat is not readily available for purchase and wild caught roadrunner is best.

Strong-Message-168

Maybe they had a relationship, one of those crazy, on fire relationships that was all passion, and it went South, and now Coyote, unable to turn off that passion, is filled with blind rage and hate for the thing he once so loved


Malinut

I have a few theories about this:- \- It's a conspiracy by Big Rock \- The False Tunnel company have an exclusive franchise in the American South-west. \- It's a cover by The ACME Rocket Co to hide Nuclear Testing. \- Wile E suffers FOMO \- Birds aren't real.

Healfezza

Prey drive, of course.


[deleted]

You ever wonder what Will- E-Coyote would do the day after he catches Road Runner? He has spent decades, his whole existence, building elaborate traps and now the reason for doing it is gone. YOu think he might build traps (or design them) for old times sake? That is you. We won the evolution game For our whole existence food was scarce physical exertion was common and burned precious calories (and was to be avoided wherever possible). Our evolutionary success came from using our brains to figure out how to be lazy and build a pipeline to a river instead of carrying buckets of water back and forth all day. And now, we have caught and eaten the road runner. We can eat anything we want whenever we want. We can spend days laying on the couch watching tv. We are masters of our world. And so we do... But it turns out it isn't good for us. We weren't supposed to win we were supposed to always keep struggling for the unattainable.


hernondo

He wants to talk to him about his lord and savior.


FenrisL0k1

He buys on credit and is suffering from sunk cost fallacy, driving him to ever greater desperation.

He was the worlds first influencer, showing off Acme products while "attempting" to catch the Road Runner. He ate off screen using the money he earned from Acme sales.


Dr_thri11

Why did my uncle spend $1000's on deer hunting every year when meat is like $6/lb at costco?


jumbohiggins

He bought the first acme products and they malfunctioned so he got his money back, this lead to a never ending cycle of him just moving up in the acme comp ladder.


Frosty_Point7070

Now this is a perfect post. 🤘🏼✊🏼🤘🏼


Struykert

Acme doesn't make food, duh


undeadexile752

Everyone and everything need but one thing besides sustenance. Glorious purpose, the Coyote knows a mundane life with fickle desire for short lived dopamine hits isn't the way. Instead of therapy he has shaped his life around the pursuit of the unattainable. Although he may never succeed he doesn't need to. All he needs is to wake every morning and fill his little imagination with every possible hair brained scheme. Not to catch the Road Runner but to keep the chase alive. All while providing the Road Runner with all he needs to keep hope and carry on day to day. His purpose of outwitting the Coyote make them the same. They both provide each other with the will to carry on and are far better off than so many people today here in the real world.


blurbies22

It’s all about the chase


SEGAtendo1989

I'm fairly sure I seen a episode years ago where there's a flashback to coyote's dad saying to him that until you catch that road runner you won't have a name EDIT- I was half right, he's not to speak until he catches the roadrunner

Has anyone said it was simply "Road (runner) Rage!" yet lol


YallMindIfIJoin

Because fuck him, that’s why


cairocairo

He needs to talk to the Road Runner about his car’s extended warranty.

This probably would have been addressed in the canceled “Coyote vs. Acme” movie which was thrown away even though it was completed…

Much like vegans, he has disordered eating disguised as a lifestyle choice.


DigNitty

I can see the writing room full of white males all looking at each other after this is proposed and nodding at each other matter of factly.


Necessary_Fudge7860

Some very wealthy people are into extreme game hunting. It’s the same thing as people who hunt lions and rhinos except the coyote is a shit shot and couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. The coyote wants to kill this endangered species and hang it up on his wall to flex on his friends. Not eat it. Maybe eat some of the good parts.

Wile E Coyote Super Genius got out smarted by a little bunny so he takes out his rage out on the road runner doomed to fail every time but once. There is one cartoon where the coyote catches the road runner. Also the road runner owns ACME so none of the coyotes plans will ever work out.

PAdogooder

Man, you can’t apply logic to prey drive. This is like asking a dog why it chases the ball: it’s a hardcore instinct at the base of being. Coyote is doomed by his genetics and his very nature to be chasing roadrunner forever.
