text: Wile E. Coyote appeared during the couch gag in The Simpsons episode "Smoke on the Daughter" in which he paints a fake couch on the living room wall which the Simpson family run into. Maggie Simpson then zooms in and imitates the Road Runner's "beep, beep" noise. The Road Runner appeared in the episode "Crystal Blue-Haired Persuasion" during a dream sequence in which he is attacked and eaten by the Space Coyote.
  Guitarist Mark Knopfler recorded a song called "Coyote" in homage to the cartoon shows of Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner on the 2002 album The Ragpicker's Dream. The Tom Smith song "Operation: Desert Storm", which won a Pegasus award for Best Fool Song in 1999, is about the different ways the coyote's plans fail.
  The music videos for Twisted Sister's signature songs "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock" were based heavily on the cartoon.
  Humorist Ian Frazier created the mock-legal prose piece "Coyote v. Acme", which is included in a book of the same name.
  During a scene in The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie!, the Drawn Together cast accidentally run over and kill the Road Runner with Foxxy Love's van. Upon noticing this, Wile E. Coyote runs up to the Road Runner's corpse and declares "Without you, my life really has no meaning," before shooting himself with a "Bang!" flag gun.
  Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner appear in the Teen Titans Go! episode, "Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary". They are among the Looney Tunes characters as guests for the Warner Bros. centennial celebration.
