About Horace[]
Horace the Horse is a minor recurring character in New Looney Tunes, known for his many jobs and his signature "dude bro" cadence. He often appears as a jack of all trades, sometimes helpful, sometimes a threat, but most often a clueless bystander. In his debut episode, "Office Rocker," he was a security guard. He also showed up in "Airpork Security" as a goofy airport security member who gave Bugs a rather painful body search. Horace is consistently characterized by his overbearing nature and stupidity, making him a memorable, if not always competent, presence in the series. His voice, presumably based on actor John Travolta, adds to his unique persona.
Appearances[]
- Horace has popped up in quite a few episodes, demonstrating his versatility across various roles.

Notes[]
Horace's distinctive voice is widely believed to be based on that of actor John Travolta, adding a layer of subtle humor for viewers familiar with Travolta's roles. This vocal style, combined with Horace’s consistent "dude bro" affectation, underpins his often comical and dim-witted demeanor throughout New Looney Tunes. His character serves as a running gag, always dependable for a bit of clumsy interference or oblivious commentary.
