Pepe Le Pew
Pepe Le Pew is a cartoon skunk from Warner Bros.
Looney Tunes, known for his exaggerated French accent and relentless romantic pursuit of a black cat he mistakes for a female skunk.
The character has become shorthand for oblivious, unwanted romantic attention: He kept hitting on her like Pepe Le Pew.
Contemporary discussion often cites him as an example of harassment played for laughs.
