Foghorn Leghorn is a large, white adult Leghorn rooster with a stereotypically Southern accent, a “good ol’ boy” speaking style, and a penchant for mischief. The first half of his name is a joke about him being loud and obnoxious, while the second half refers to a breed of chicken (a white leghorn). He first appeared in 1946 in a Henery Hawk film titled Walky Talky Hawky. All of the motion picture Foghorn Leghorn cartoons were directed by Robert McKimson, and the rooster vies with the Tasmanian Devil as the most popular character associated with the director.

Many of the gags involved Foghorn and a canine nemesis (formally known as The Barnyard Dog within Warner today, though on early model sheets his name is given as George P. Dog) engaging in one-upmanship through a series of pranks. Unlike other Looney Tunes rivalries—with the notable exception of the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner series—Foghorn is often the initial aggressor out of self-amusement and subsequently on the ‘losing’ end of gags. Most common among them was Leghorn’s taking up a plank of wood, while ambling along humming “Camptown Races” (the only intelligible words being “DOO-Dah! DOO-Dah!”), coming to the sleeping Dog with his front half inside his doghouse, picking up his tail and rapidly spanking the dog with a plank of wood. Occasionally, Foghorn sings the song, but replaces “Camptown ladies sing this song…” with “Lump-teen-dozen and a-doo-dah day…”. He does not sing any other part of the song, reverting to humming after the DOO-Dah’s. Foghorn Leghorn loses his feathers very often in the episodes, usually revealing his bare skin or his boxers.
