The Crusher is a brutish boxer shown in 1948's "Rabbit Punch" and as a professional wrestler in 1951's "Bunny Hugged" (directed by Chuck Jones). He is voiced by the late Billy Bletcher in "Rabbit Punch" and John T. Smith in "Bunny Hugged". Crusher also appeared in a Tiny Toon Adventures episode, featuring two songs by They Might Be Giants: Particle Man (as a wrestler) and Istanbul (Not Constantinople) (as a henchman).
Crusher also had a cameo role in "Carrotblanca" as a doorman, and appeared in an episode in The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries. He also appeared in two episodes of Duck Dodgers, voiced by John DiMaggio. Crusher appeared on the web show "Fast Food" on looneytunes.com.
In 2003's film, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, The Crusher makes a cameo as one of the judges on DJ's stunt performance.
Crusher was a boss character in the Super NES video game Bugs Bunny Rabbit Rampage. During the fight, various Warner Brothers characters are seen in the audience, with Pepe Le Pew waving a pennant which reads "Crusher".
Crusher also appears in the Duck Dodgers episode "Surf the Stars".
Crusher also appeared in The Looney Tunes Show episodes "Jailbird & Jailbunny" and "Mr. Weiner".
Personality
Crusher's outward brutish appearance defines his character as a common lout. His behavior also stems from anger issues as seen on The Looney Tunes Show in an episode titled "Jailbird and Jailbunny" as an inmate serving a sentence for an unknown crime (note: this show is non-canon to the original Looney Tunes shorts, so the imprisonment is not part of the original shorts).
