Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z	comment	"Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z" is a 1956 Looney Tunes short featuring Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner.In this short, Wile E's attempts to catch the Roadrunner include a gun, a sheet of Battle Steel Armor, dynamite, a green Batman costume, an anvil, a fake painting of a bridge being out (this being a reversal of a usual gag where the Roadrunner can "jump into a painting" and Wile E cannot), and a makeshift bicycle from handle bars and a jet motor. In the end, as he falls, the Coyote holds up a sign, requesting the cartoon end before he lands, and his wish is granted.

Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z / int_1ec7ea4a	comment	Watch Out for That Tree!: Amazingly enough, the Batman suit works perfectly well, but Wile E. gets too confident and doesn't watch where he's flying, crashing head on into a cliff. The skin of the wings peels off as he falls down, making him unable to fly back up.

Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z / int_237db06a	comment	Painted Tunnel, Real Train: Wile E. paints a broken bridge on a canvas in front of the road and hides behind a "Bridge Out" sign, hoping the Roadrunner will stop. In a reversal of the usual gag, the Road Runner rips through the canvas instead, and when Wile E. runs after him, he steps into the painting and falls over the bridge.

Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z / int_2941069e	comment	And again in the sixth gag, where Law of Inverse Recoil causes him to be flung into a cliff wall when he triggers his telescoping device with a TNT stick attached to it. The device then retracts along with the TNT and blows up not only Wile E., but also a huge chunk of the wall where the Wile E.-shaped hole was.

Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z / int_a188ac4b	comment	Overly Long Gag: Ken Harris's animation of the Coyote using the Acme Bat-Man Outfit takes up a bulk of the short. The Road Runner doesn't even appear once during the gag.

Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z / int_a49914aa	comment	Bowdlerization: Two scenes were edited when shown on ABC: Cut entirely was a scene where Wile E. shoots a rifle at the Road Runner, who so outruns the bullet that it becomes dumbfounded and stops and falls to the ground, which an equally dumbfounded Wile E. picks up, whereupon the bullet explodes in his hand. The scene of Wile E. trying to blow up the Road Runner with a stick of dynamite on a spring was partially edited to remove the last part of the scene: after Wile E. accidentally backs himself into a canyon wall, the dynamite recoils back at him and blows up.

Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z / int_b5785433	comment	Cold Open: The Coyote is standing behind a billboard on which the title is shown. As he starts the Chase Scene, he notices a truck coming (on which the credits appear) and promptly reverses course. Having been run over by the truck, the dazed Coyote tries to get up, but winds up being hit by a large crate on which the director credit appears. He throws it off completely, none the worse for wear, and resumes the chase.

Then at the end of the cartoon, as he's plummeting, Wile E. takes out a sign that reads "How about ending this cartoon before I hit?", and as the Iris Out occurs, he drops the sign and takes out another one that reads "Thank you".

Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z / int_fcadd0e3	comment	Impact Silhouette: Four times. In the second gag, Wile E. holds a steel metal plate in front of him to stop the Road Runner; instead, he rips through the plate, leaving his silhouette on it — and apparently through Wile E. himself! Wile E. looks down in disbelief and horror, then tiptoes away. In the fifth gag, Wile E. leaves this in the pavement when he is slingshotted down by the weight of his anvil. And again in the sixth gag, where Law of Inverse Recoil causes him to be flung into a cliff wall when he triggers his telescoping device with a TNT stick attached to it. The device then retracts along with the TNT and blows up not only Wile E., but also a huge chunk of the wall where the Wile E.-shaped hole was. In the Painted Tunnel, Real Train scene listed below, the Road Runner leaves this in the landscape of the broken bridge.
