I honestly have no idea how many times that idea was used.

I will post this thread as an idea for how many times you think they were used out of all 1029 WB cartoons.

What do you think?

Say I post too many polls, but I want to know your thoughts on this.

Don't forget the other cartoon studios used the famous suicide gags in their cartoons...

It's gotta be more than 61, because with 1029 cartoons, you'd figure...well, let's get the calculator...1 suicide gag for every almost 17 Warner Bros. Cartoons!

Even Wile E. Coyote has been killed more than 61 times, if that counts.

Using my trusty LT/MM book, I'll count the "body count" per cartoon (through suicide)

Tortaise Wins By A Hare: 4(?)
Horton Hatches An Egg: 1
Plane Daffy: 2
An Itch In Time: 1
The Sour Puss: 1
Hare Ribbin' ("released" version): 1
Curtain Razor: 1
Show Biz Bugs: 1

This is just a few...

Who voted 1 to 10? That can't be right.

And it only counts for this poll when a gun is used.

As this poll clearly states, I am only thinking of WB cartoons. Maybe someone else could make a poll about other studios if they want.

I voted 61+, if it's for ALL uses of a gun.

It is only for uses of a gun that are suicide attempts, as the thread title clearly states.

Don't forget the cat killing himself and his 9 lives in "The Stupid Cupid"!! How many would that account for?

That would count as 1. There seemed to be a lot of confusion in this poll, causing some mistaken votes.
