A plot, frequently animated, which involves natural enemies chasing or hunting each other. If it is any recurring, the antagonist will try several times to capture, kill, or otherwise defeat the protagonist, and keeps failing spectacularly, either because the target is too smart, or because the antagonist is just really unlucky. Often this plot will climax with a plan that looks actually serious, but will fail just as surely as the others. The rare exceptions to the Failure Is the Only Option aspect may involve Negative Continuity. Frequently linked to Harmless Villain and Amusing Injuries, and may induce Rooting for the Empire if the antagonist is pathetic enough. Compare Stern Chase, Villain Decay (just here the villain decays immediately by design). |

Tom and Jerry: Tom the tom-cat and Jerry the mouse are a classic example, but these cartoons belong among the rare ones which sometimes Played With this trope. Jerry is very antagonistic in some cartoons, to the point where Tom is the likeable character of the two and viewers rooted for him, hoping he would catch the bloody vermin. In some episodes, Tom has at least some vindication by the end, such as the episode in which he forces Jerry to learn how to "hunt cats" from his nephew. Sometimes Tom and Jerry even collaborate against a common enemy, like a new evil tom-cat in their house. | |

Looney Tunes cartoons have been doing it for years. Bugs Bunny: Many characters have attempted to catch and/or kill this Rascally Rabbit, including Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Marvin the Martian, and the Tasmanian Devil, as well as numerous one-time villains, but Bugs is always cunning enough to outsmart them. Daffy Duck: Daffy Duck was the road runner at first, then he became the coyote after he was changed into a near-Butt-Monkey. Sylvester the Cat and Tweety Bird: Aww, an adorable black-and-white tom-cat tries to catch and eat a cute yellow canary. Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner: These two are the Trope Namers. Interestingly, they were originally intended as a parody of Tom and Jerry (or indeed, Bugs Bunny) type cartoons, where instead of the pursued outwitting the pursuer, the coyote was his own worst enemy due to his increasingly convoluted ploys. (The initial plan had been for the pursuer and pursued to not even make sense, like "an aardvark chasing a wildebeest".) Instead, they were successful enough that subsequent chase cartoons chose to Follow the Leader. Played with in the Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog shorts; the protagonist is in fact the bodyguard, thwarting the antagonist from pursuing its prey (in this case a field of sheep). Amusingly, this is just a routine day job for the two; they're good buddies off the clock. Exaggerated in the Chuck Jones-directed Fair and Worm-er, which features a worm chasing an apple, a bird chasing the worm, a cat chasing the bird, a dog chasing the cat, a dogcatcher chasing the dog, the dogcatcher's wife chasing the dogcatcher, and a mouse chasing the dogcatcher's wife! |

The Villain is a Western example wherein the titular bank robber is trying to capture The Handsome Stranger (no really, that's his name) and Charmin'. Every scheme is right out of a Roadrunner cartoon, including painting a tunnel on the side of a rock and getting stuck in his own glue trap. | |

Parodied several times in Garfield: In one strip, Garfield chases a mouse as Jon cheers him on, only to step on the mouse by accident. He promptly stops and revives the mouse before sending it off unharmed, his dialogue basically explaining it was all an act for Jon's sake. In another strip, Garfield is being chased by a big dog, only to stop and demand to know what's going to happen now the dog has caught him. The answer? They start dancing the tango, with Garfield noting he wants to lead the next time. Another "dog chasing Garfield" strip ends with the reveal that they were actually both trying to chase an ice-cream truck, not chasing each other. |

An episode of Johnny Test parodied this concept including Johnny going "beet beet" in the same style as the Roadrunner's trademark "beep beep" sound and Bling Bling Boy questioningly the sheer improbability of a train passing through a fake tunnel AND an anvil falling randomly from the sky. Oh, and Johnny and Bling Bling even had their "Latin" names. | |

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is perceived as this with Sonic and Tails playing the Road Runner while Scratch, Grounder and Dr. Robotnik (whom we call Dr. Eggman these days) usually played the Coyote. In the ending credits, Robotnik tries to smash Sonic in a trap in a road. When Sonic came, Robotnik pushed the button and seemed to have caught Sonic. However, when Robotnik went to check, he found no sign of Sonic whatsoever. While he left the remote control unguarded and stood at the trap area, Sonic appeared and pushed the button, smashing Robotnik. Sonic then left, dropping the remote control at the trap area. When Robotnik, in a pancake shape as a result of the smashing landed, he hit the button, causing the trap to smash him again. | |

This pretty much defines Count Dracula and Abraham Van Helsing's (and by extension, his entire family line) relationship in Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation. Abraham and his ancestors are all monster hunters who have dedicated themselves to eradicate monsters everywhere, with Dracula himself being their #1 target. In the case of Abe himself, Dracula evades and thwarts all of his attempts on his life to an almost absurd degree. Subverted with Drac and Abraham's great, great granddaughter Ericka as he had absolutely no idea that they were trying to kill him and just happened to waltz around the traps incidentally. | |

Oggy and the Cockroaches is an interesting case: while it's clear that the cockroaches are the antagonists of the series, either side of the ongoing fight can be the winner of the fight for the episode, sometimes both sides win, other times neither will, and yet still a third party can end up the winner. | |

Phineas and Ferb: Candace is always trying to bust her brothers but never succeeds, instead she's getting either injured or humiliated. This is the "unlucky" variant, as her brothers do nothing to stop her, and usually don't seem to share her belief that they'd be in trouble if she succeeded. On top of that, Doof's own schemes typically manage to remove the brothers' daily projects from view. Dr. Doofenshmirtz scheming to take over the tri-state area and constantly being thwarted by Perry the Platypus. |

In The Sword in the Stone, a scrawny wolf continuously pursues Wart to try to eat him, not just as a human, but later when he's turned into a squirrel. In every case, the wolf's plans are comically foiled by his bad luck. | |

Garfield and Friends : A similar case of a recurring fox villain in the U.S. Acres segment tries to eat several bird characters and the two chicks Sheldon and Booker. Although the one predator who fails the most is the weasel who tries to steal the farm's chicken. One Garfield sketch deconstructs the "Tom And Jerry" variation of the trope, asking just why cartoons portray cats being bad guys for chasing mice when, in the real world, cats are normally seen as the good guys for doing this, due to the fact that mice spread disease, spoil food and damage property. |

The Blue Racer is about the eponymous Blue Racer chasing (and failing to catch) a Japanese beetle. Interestingly, it's the hunter (a snake) who is the super-fast one, but this is still not enough for a significantly more intelligent prey (a beetle) who can do karate chops. | |

Tiny Toons had many teen versions of the original Looney Tunes and some original characters. Among them: Calamity Coyote and Little Beeper (teen versions of the Coyote and the Roadrunner) and Furrball and Sweetipie (Silvester and Tweety). There was also a little baby mouse Li'l Sneezer that was sometimes chased by Furrball and, in a curious continuation of the food chain, a nerd worm named Bookworm chased by Sweetipie, in all cases with bad consequences for the predator. But the writers soon left this formula and focused more on other kind of plots. | |

The Dreamstone toys with the concept somewhat (it probably borrows more from the premise of the Trope Namer's sister series Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog) though is still clearly inspired by it, with the Urpneys frequently using cartoon gadgets to try and steal the Dreamstone from the Land of Dreams. Expect Amusing Injuries galore. | |

The Dutch comic De Generaal by Peter de Smet is filled to the brim with this trope. The main character, The General, assisted by a zany professor and a soldier, and armed with a rather ancient tank, repeatedly tries to take power from The Marshall (seated in a fort; the general's HQ is a preciously guarded tree). Their lack of success in whatever way they try is only surpassed by a motorcycle policeman's failures to book The General for breaking just about any law or rule the policeman thinks applicable. | |

The Blues Brothers puts the titular brothers in the position of "Road Runner" being chased by no less than four 'Coyotes'; a neo-Nazi organization they antagonize by driving them off a bridge, an increasing large representative sample of Illinois' law-enforcement community, a country-and-western band called "The Good Ole' Boys" who they steal a gig from, and a mysterious woman tooled up with a lot of advanced weaponry who turns out to be a woman Jake left at the altar. The Blues Brothers manage to evade, survive or outrun all of their pursuers right up until the very end, where they are arrested immediately after completing their goal. It helps that they're on a mission from God. | |

Dexter's Laboratory: In "Road Rash", Dexter got a bicycle from his parents, leading to a direct homage to the Road Runner cartoons when Dexter tried to get even with a roller-blading Dee Dee. The episode "Mom and Jerry" was a Tom and Jerry pastiche in which Dexter got trapped in the body of a lab mouse and his mom mistook him for a regular mouse. Hilarity Ensues. |
