October 2, 2009

Cartoons can give us a good laugh. Cartoon shows help us to laugh away our worries because the cartoon characters are funny and carefree. It can be quite relaxing to watch cartoons shows on TV. The following is the list of top 10 cartoon characters.

1. Bugs Bunny

An unbelievably great cartoon character, Bugs Bunny was a creation of Mel Blanc who created the unique voice of the bunny by blending a Brooklyn and Bronx accent. Bugs is noted for his insulting, clever, conniving, slick and sarcastic nature using which he manipulates his enemies to his advantage.

2. Daffy Duck

Daffy Duck is another terrific cartoon character. Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck shared a love/hate relationship which was classic and epic. Daffy was noted for his insecure and excitable nature. The dialogue in the show is smart, clever and has won an extremely large audience over the years and deservedly so.

3. The Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote

This is one cartoon show which can make everyone laugh to his heart’s content. Viewers will definitely end up feeling sad for the Roadrunner. The sad facial expressions of the roadrunner when we find that he has been outwitted again are worth watching.

4. Arthur
