"Beep, Beep" is a 1952 Merrie Melodies short, and the second cartoon to star Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner (Wile E.'s second appearance was technically in "Operation: Rabbit", where he was pitted against Bugs Bunny).After missing his target by a feather during their latest chase, Wile E. plans some new schemes, including a boxing glove attached to a spring, dropping an anvil from a tightrope, an explosive glass of water, rocket skates and a fake railroad crossing.

Extendo Boxing Glove: One that's attached to a rock serves as the Coyote's first scheme.

Binomium ridiculus: Respectively Carnivorus Vulgaris and Acceleratii Incredibulis; almost a precise duplicate of what we saw in "Fast And Furryous.'' Those Latin terms would be used one last time in the third cartoon, "Going! Going! Gosh!".

Early-Installment Weirdness: One of the rules for the shorts was that the Road Runner must stay on the road. However, there is an extended sequence where the Coyote chases the Road Runner in a mine shaft.

Crazy-Prepared: Wile E. tries to be this by wearing a parachute during the anvil scheme. Too bad he put the wrong backpack on... At least Wile E. had some Acme Aspirin on hand. Let’s hope that it actually worked …

Blowing a Raspberry: The Roadrunner does this when he sees the glass of water. He then goes over to where Wile E. is, holding a sign, blows another raspberry, and then goes on his way.

comment
Anvil on Head: The Coyote makes a plan to walk on a tightrope and drop an anvil on the Road Runner. What makes the plan ineffective is that the weight of the anvil combined with Wile E.'s causes him to go down to the road.

Railroad Tracks of Doom: The final gag has Wile E. setting up a fake railroad crossing in an attempt to stop the Road Runner, who doesn't buy it and simply knocks Wile E. into the air. Afterwards, a real train comes out of nowhere and runs over the Coyote.

Truth in Television: Roadrunners actually do not need to drink water, as it comes from their diet. Unfortunately, Wile E. apparently wasn’t aware of this little fact.

comment
Tightrope Walking: Wile E. walks on one in his second scheme to kill his prey, but the anvil is so heavy that he slides down to the pavement. As the Road Runner comes in and taunts him, the Coyote drops the anvil to chase him, only to be shot into the stratosphere before he can lay a foot on the road.

Bowdlerization: When this cartoon aired on Nickelodeon, the scene of Wile E. Coyote finding out his parachute is actually a knapsack filled with camping gear as he falls was edited to remove him taking out a pack of Acme Aspirin and swallowing them before waving pathetically at the camera and falling to the bottom of the gorge.
