Biography
" | '' I object. I'm sorry Bun-Bun. I know how much you love me, but I'm in love with someone else! I'm in love with HIM!'' | " |
– Members Only |
Lola first appears in the episode, Members Only, at the Royal Oaks Glen Oaks Oakwood Oaks Country Club (or the R.O.G.O.O.O.C.C.) where she meets Bugs, while playing tennis when she accidentally hits him with multiple tennis balls as she's practicing her horrible swing. They are both instantly attracted to one another, so they decide to go out for dinner and a movie. However, Bugs quickly finds out on their date that Lola's high-spirited personality causes her to talk constantly (speaking what's on her mind at all times), be forgetful or confused about certain facts, and become so absent-minded that she even mistakes the trailers before the movie as the movie itself.
After the date Bugs decides to avoid Lola, having become annoyed and embarrassed by her quirks (going so far as to say their first date was the worst of his life). Lola, on the other hand, found their date to be the best of her life and tries to get a hold of Bugs through constant phone calls and 128 emails, all of which Bugs exasperatedly ignores. Lola then "runs into" Bugs at the dry cleaners, grocery store and gym. Lola startles Bugs at the gym, which causes an accident that results in a massive weight being dropped on Bugs's neck, but is soon saved by a gym regular. Lola tearfully tells Bugs that she doesn't know what she'd do if she ever lost him. He then tells Lola he can't see her anymore, saying he's not sure if they're right for each other. Lola, devastated, starts crying uncontrollably until Bugs deceitfully exclaims he didn't mean it, and to his dismay and Lola's excitement, agrees to go out with her again.
In an attempt to end their relationship, Bugs dresses up as a woman at the R.O.G.O.O.O.C.C. and tries to convince Lola that he'll end up breaking her heart. When Bugs returns to Lola moments later, without his disguise on, Lola reveals that the only thing she took away from the conversation with the "ugly woman" is that Bugs is a "bad boy", making her a "bad girl" and even more attracted to him. Lola then notices her parents and introduces them to Bugs. Her dad says that Lola has told them so much about him, however Bugs decries that she doesn't know anything about him. Lola and her parents hysterically laugh his comment off, much to his uncomfortableness. Bugs excuses himself and goes to the bathroom and talks to himself in the mirror in an attempt to convince himself to end it with Lola. He takes a mint from the bathroom attendant before he leaves, but drops it before making another break-up attempt. It rolls underneath Lola's seat, and when he reaches down to pick it up, Lola thinks he is proposing to her and screams yes. Lola is quick to plan and organize the wedding with Pepe Le Pew, the club's wedding planner. In a twist of events, at the wedding, she runs off with Pepe, saying she is in love with him, much to Bugs' relief.
" | '' I'm back in your life! And you can't say no, because it's for a good cause. LITTERING!'' | " |
– Eligible Bachelors |
In Eligible Bachelors, Lola is once again out to date Bugs, as she bids $100,000 on him at Porky Pig's bachelor auction while she happily claims that she's back in his life, much to Bugs' surprise and somewhat horror. When she comes to fetch him for their date the next day, she announces that they're going to Paris. He denies going, but she eventually forced him to, after showing him the rules. On the airplane, she constantly annoys Bugs, even though they had only been on it for a few minutes. After they get off the plane, the two visit the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, and the Versailles, which Lola mistakes the three of these things as a "shopping mall", "Stonehenge", and "the White House." As Lola continues on with her incessant chattering, Bugs tells her to stop talking, and enjoy the beautiful sights. Lola stops talking and the two go on a romantic montage, although, Lola says it would have been more better with talking. This makes Bugs frown and drop her while in dance position, though back home he puts a picture of him and Lola standing in front of the Eiffel Tower on his refrigerator.
In Double Date, Bugs calls her to ask her to give Daffy dating advice. She gives Daffy a script of what she believes every girl wants to hear, and when he reads it aloud, she becomes obsessed with him. Dismissing Lola's flirtations as jokes, Daffy asks Tina to go to dinner with him, causing a determined Lola to break into his bedroom where she tries to convince him that Tina is an unhinged stalker. Lola pressures Bugs into going on a date with her at the same restaurant, where she spies on Tina and Daffy, who end up having a great time, much to her annoyance. She is dismissive towards Bugs, which encourages him to attempt to impress her which culminates in Bugs claiming to be her boyfriend when she says Daffy is. Lola immediately forgets her crush on Daffy and declares Bugs her boyfriend and goes about planning a double date between her, Bugs, Daffy, and Tina.

Lola also appears in DMV, where it's revealed she's been driving her car without a license, and is pulled over by a police officer. At the DMV, she believes she can pass the written test, but quickly decides to cheat by calling Bugs (who's at the DMV as well), who refused to help her or Daffy (who's also at the DMV and is calling him too). When she tries to do the test herself, she gets distracted and instead writes I love Bugs, with hearts and pink confetti all over her paper. However, she unintentionally trades her test with Porky's, and passes to the driving test, and performs awful driving. After her reckless driving traumatizes and paralyzes her instructor Yosemite Sam, she approves herself.
In Beauty School, Lola drops by Bugs' house unexpected and sees a cross-dressed Bugs rushing out to his car and driving away. Believing Bugs is being unfaithful, Lola follows the "mistress" until she is distracted by a cupcake store. She later confronts Bugs, about the ugly woman she saw leaving his house. Bugs explains that the woman was actually just him wearing a wig that Daffy was cutting to help Tina with her beauty school homework, and that he rushed out with it on because he was late for the dance class that he agreed to take with Porky. Lola dismisses Bugs' explanation as a lie and vows to find out what's really going on. Later, Lola walks past the dance class and spots Porky and the crossed-dressed Bugs through a window, dancing together. She also notices Speedy, who is the course's instructor, which confuses her further. Determined to find out what is going on, Lola scales the building to the second floor and peers in through the window in time to see Bugs remove his wig. Lola realizes that the ugly woman is just Bugs taking a dance class with Porky and remembers that Bugs had already explained that to her.

– The Shelf |
In The Shelf, Lola stops by to congratulate Bugs on winning the Nobel Prize, but he's too worried about his house flooding to pay her any attention. She thinks of this as arrogance, because he won the prize. Before she departs, Lola runs into Speedy, who now needs somewhere else to live, because of all the water in the house. Lola points out that Speedy is an adult and should have his own place, so she decides to help him find a new apartment. Once they find an apartment, Speedy says it's too big. Lola tells him she'll help him decorate, however she ends up decorating everything more to her liking. Speedy decides to move back in with Bugs, when Lola asks him who will live in the apartment, he suggests she should. Lola says the apartment isn't really her taste, but admits that it could work if she gets rid of the "Speedy Gonzales influence".

Personality
Lola is an incredibly perky and talkative young woman, who always speaks exactly what's on her mind even if she can't seem to concentrate on any one thing for too long. Described by Bugs in their first Merrie Melodie as a "very pretty lady, but crazy, crazy, crazy", Lola is considered attractive but unbalanced. She quickly becomes infatuated with and idealizes any man who she interprets as showing interest in her, even if she barely knows him. When the feelings aren't reciprocated, she engages in extreme obsessive behavior, to the point that she stalks potential lovers, taps their phone lines, breaks into their homes, and requires them to cut off friends and family members who don't approve of their relationship.
This obsession and idealization is chiefly enacted on Bugs, though it subsides somewhat when the two begin officially dating. At that point, Lola is willing to criticize him, finding his female disguises incredibly ugly and even trying to keep him out of her family photo because she thought his chipped tooth would ruin it. This shows she places importance on appearance and is shallow. Lola can also be nosy, absent minded, and selfish but she likes to think she is doing good, and tries to spread her optimistic, enthusiastic outlook to others.
Lola genuinely attempts to help those she cares about, though this usually backfires due to how naïve, easily confused and distracted she is. Her errors range from small things (like what foods she's allergic to) to enormous (like confusing the Eiffel Tower for Stone Henge), to downright dangerous (like crawling into a mailbox without considering how to get back out again). When she's not (often literally) chasing men or spending time with friends, Lola likes recording her own thoughts and playing tennis. She is also shown sewing, singing, playing the organ and has expressed an interest in extraterrestrial life on several occasions.
Physical Appearance
Lola is seen with tan fur, and has a blonde bang of hair. Her outfit usually consists of a dress with two stripes (one on the waist, and one on the bottom). Throughout season 1, her dress is purple and her stripes are yellow. In season 2, her dress is bright blue with white stripes. She also wears either a matching hair band, or a bow on her ears (purple season 1, blue season 2). A patriotic version of her outfit appears in "President's Day". Originally in Looney Tunes: Laff Riot, her outfit was set to be the same as her ones throughout the show, albeit a dark teal blue, with lighter stripes. Though in the pilot for Laff Riot, she was also set to have her dress short sleeved. In Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run, her outfit was the same as season 2, but had yellow stripes instead of white, which makes it a combination of both of her outfits from The Looney Tunes Show. Though, it appears less vibrant due to the film's coloration.
Relationships
Bugs Bunny
Lola and Bugs first met at the Royal Oaks Glen Oaks Oakwood Oaks Country Club while playing tennis separately. Immediately attracted to each other, Bugs asks Lola out. But on their first date, Bugs finds Lola's unfocused, mile-a-minute musings to be annoying, and when she continues pursuing him afterwards, he finds her obsessive behavior to be "crazy." Lola later bought Bugs at a bachelor auction and tried to reconcile their romance, although Bugs remained at best reluctant and at worst afraid to be involved with Lola. Late in season one, the show began portraying Lola and Bugs as an official couple, with her worst excesses being downplayed.
Daffy Duck
In Double Date, Lola briefly pursues a relationship with Daffy after falling for the very same pickup lines she comes up with to help him meet women. After this episode, the two maintain a friendship and are portrayed as getting along well in spite of (or perhaps because of) how unbalanced they both are. Daffy and Lola never annoy, fight or even disagree with each other, regardless of how unhinged, delusional, or idiotic the other may behave. They hang out in episodes like Itsy Bitsy Gopher, in which they attempt to solve the mystery of a missing Tosh but wind up just baking cookies. Lola is portrayed as wanting what's best for Daffy in episodes like "Daffy Duck Esquire", in which she attempts to help him prove himself to Tina's dad, as she considers dating a woman as nice as Tina to be one of the few positive aspects of Daffy's life.
Tina Russo
When Lola and Tina first met, Lola was attracted to Daffy. After hearing that Daffy invited Tina on a romantic dinner for two, Lola slanders Tina and stalks her and Daffy in an effort to break up them, only to set her sights back on Bugs after he jealously declares himself her boyfriend. From that point on, Lola and Tina interact positively. When Tina's boss fires her after she mistreats a customer, Lola agrees to help Tina become more positive and upbeat, though this backfires. She also helped Tina get ready for a beauty pageant in "Year of Duck".
Merrie Melodies
In Peel of Fortune, she sang with Bugs in the Merrie Melodie called "We Are in Love." In it, she sings of her one-sided desire to be more involved with a reluctant Bugs, going so far as to tap his phone lines, follow him to Bolivia, sneak in his house, and move in with him.
In French Fries she sang "Presidents' Day," where she expresses her strong yet mixed-up patriotism.
In Wonderful Bugs Lola's dad song a song which Lola appears in to show Bugs is the best and also for Lola to be her wife.
Trivia
- Lola is one of the only characters on the show that wasn't created during the golden age of Looney Tunes. She was originally intended for 1996's Space Jam in which she was Bugs's, girlfriend.
- It's implied in Members Only and Eligible Bachelors that Lola is considerably wealthy, perhaps more than Bugs is, as shown by her R.O.G.O.O.O.C.C. membership and laying $100,000 to end a bidding war and get Bugs.
- She has been featured in the WB shape logo at the outro for a total of five times.
- Lola's The Looney Tunes Show design was based on her original design from her debut, Space Jam, but without her aqua eyes, or her cotton tail, as well as a larger mouth, and a bigger tooth. Also, in Space Jam, Lola was just portrayed as a tomboyish, hawkish, femme fatale. But in order to give her more personality and make her more humorous, she was given her talkative and distracted quirks and has not yet shown any tomboyish-hawkish traits.
- Lola's license plate is BUGS ♥R (Bugs lover).
- Lola often refers to Bugs as "Bun-bun".
- Lola and Bugs also kissed four times, once in Eligible Bachelors (where they both enjoyed it), and also in Double Date where Lola forced a kiss on Bugs, Customer Service in Lola's imagination, and in Dear John.
- In Season 1, Lola had more of a recurring role in the series, however, as of Season 2, Lola has become more of a main character, having appeared in the majority of the episodes.
- Lola drives a yellow hatchback which resembles either a Volkswagen Golf, or a Scion XD, it has been damaged many times no doubt a result of Lola's horrifying driving ability.
- She has a imaginary friend named "Piper."
- She was driving without a driver's license until the episode "DMV".
- She has stalker like tendencies, as shown through her relationship with Bugs. This is further proven in the episode "Double Date" when she gives Daffy a paper that says "What All Women Want to Hear" that states "You are a beautiful beautiful woman. You are the epitome of grace, style and femininity. You're my best friend. In fact, you're the only friend I need. Here's a good idea. Let's get rid of all of our other friends and only be friends with each other. Also we should cut off family members that don't support our relationship. Also, we should have jobs where we work together because if there's one thing I know, it's that if we drop all of our friends, cut off our families, and work together, we are guaranteed to have a perfect relationship". This clearly demonstrates Lola's stalker like tendencies and the possible extremes she may take to stay with the person she is in love with, even cutting off family ties (though this seems strange considering how loyal and close she is to her friends and family).
- She states that she answers her phone saying, "Hi Bugs!" just in case it is him.
- She met Bugs at the tennis courts in the R.O.G.O.O.O.C.C. in July.
- Though she is in a relationship with Bugs, the idea of a pairing between her and Daffy has been indicated in the series in the episodes "Double Date" and "Itsy Bitsy Gopher", usually by Lola. In "Double Date", Lola "fell in love" with Daffy after he used one of her techniques to pick up women, causing her to stalk him and try to convince him not to go on a date with Tina. She quickly went back to being in love with Bugs when he stated he was her boyfriend (though evidence suggests she was never in love with Daffy to begin with). In "Itsy Bitsy Gopher", the two worked together to find Tosh who had gone missing. They went to Copy Place and Lola told Tina that despite the two working together that they would not develop a romantic relationship. She also worked as his secretary when he was a fake lawyer in "Daffy Duck Esquire". Despite this, aside from the episode Double Date, the two have shown no attraction to each other and remain in committed relationships.
- She seems to resemble her mother in appearance and her father in personality, which may explain why her father likes Bugs so much and approves of their relationship.
- She hates insects, as shown in the episode "Dear John".
- In "Black Widow", she states Black Widow is her favorite movie, having watched it hundreds of times, and has all of the lines memorized.
- She states that she cries when she is confused in "Dear John".
- Lola is an organ donor, as seen in DMV.
- She is the blue Looney Tune.
- Her main element is Generosity.
- Like Petunia, and Tina, Lola was set have a different appearance.
