Wild About Hurry is a 1959 Merrie Melodies short starring Chuck Jones' iconic duo, Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })After two failed attempts to catch the Road Runner with a boulder dangling from a rope and a rocket, Wile E. Coyote plots six more to do the bird in, like a slingshot, a clam-shaped rock over an outcropping, a rocket sled not unlike the one seen in "Beep Prepared" two years later, bird seed and iron pellets as well as a magnet and a grenade strapped to a roller skate, a bowling ball through a pipe and a massive steel ball.

Acme Products: For his first scheme, Wile E. orders an ACME Giant Rubber Band (much like the one from "Whoa, Be-Gone!"), wraps it around a slingshot and prepares to launch himself at the Road Runner. However, he merely face plants on the ground when he does so. For his third scheme, Wile E. orders several items from the ACME Shopping Center, including 5 miles of railroad tracks, one rocket sled, 8,000 railroad ties, 24,000,000 spikes and 90,000,000 feet lumber (it is unknown what the sixth item is). But when he activates his rocket sled and slides down onto the tracks, he breaks through the curved railroad and crashes to the ground, followed by a few broken planks.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Accordion Man: Though he doesn't compress and decompress like one afterwards, Wile E. suffers this when he hits a rock arch after his rocket crashes into a plateau.

For his final plan to catch the Road Runner, Wile E. climbs into an ACME Indestructo Steel Ball and slides down a plateau to try and roll the avian over. He misses, however, and soon gets himself into a series of predicaments (including a dam, a waterfall, railroad tracks and a mine field) which then repeats again.
