How come Elmer Fudd has a hard saying wabbit.....errr rabbit?

He pronounces all of his R’s as W’s.. not just in “rabbit”

He has a lisp, duh.

Elmer suffered from what is known as a Weak ‘R’ Speech Impediment

A “hard” what?

It’s a touch to his character that marks him out even more as the target of humor in the cartoons. Since he’s a rural character, it makes him look like a real rube. Had he been a rich man, it would have made him seem effete. This is mean, but it’s true.

He doesn’t seem to have any problem saying wabbit as far as I can tell.

Oh, boy. I’ll second @gailcalled‘s question, “A hard what?”

He probably has a speech impediment, and stutters when he gets overly excited at hearing someone’s remake of an oldie but mouldy! (Sorry, John…I couldn’t resist!)

It’s in the script.

Mel Blanc gave him a speech impudiment.

@stranger_in_a_strange_land: I thought I thaw a puddy cat.

he has a spweach defect.

@Ron_C: Weally?

@gailcalled as Curley would say “cuitinly”
