How does Wile E. Coyote afford all those Acme products?

    Alternatively he's somehow committing insurance fraud and making bank on the personal injury claims

    I mean, does he really need to be committing fraud at this point? Those products frequently leave him in body casts.

    He bought the early products, then successfully sued the company when they blew up in his face and he now gets them for free as part of the settlement.

    He's kind of an unwitting, unpaid product tester.

    This is why you never buy the first edition of anything

    especially not an Acme rocket

    Somehow, Acme rockets are still more reliable than anything Lockheed Martin produces.

    He is a YouTube Influencer that reviews Acme products so he gets them for free.
    Maybe he gets drunk and backs a lot of Kickstarters.

    He uses Larlar's credit card.
    Why does a sentient cactus have a credit card, you say?

    Why does a sentient cactus poofs into Gil and experience upon defeat?

    It just does, OK? You don't question the Larlar-gic.

    ...

    But, would that mean that Wile. E Coyote committed fraud (Crime option) by making unauthorized purchases on said credit card?

    Maybe, unless Larlar granted permission for said purchases. Then they are accessory to a crime and the coyote is the middle hitman.

    What does a cactus have against a fast, free-spirited bird? What is the missing piece to this puzzle?

    *Broods silently*

    tl;dr: Always Larlar

    That's it that's the gag
    Isn't it more of a Nimrod gag?

    Yup, kinda sorta.

    Acme has historically been used by companies (it means 'the best', essentially), so it's a play on that.

    Also, I think we are meant to infer that Mr Coyote's intention is to eat the roadrunner upon his eventual capture, but I'm not convinced. If the guy was just hungry but has the ability to pay for this stuff and receive mail at some point he's just going to pick up a hellofresh subscription and the gag will be over.

    No, the adorable truth is that they're in a long term relationship and this is their kink.

    This actually makes the most sense from both sides of their interactions

    With that reading, his intent isn't to eat the roadrunner, it's to eat the roadrunner.

    For all we know there are many road runners and he eats most of them

    I mean the real answer is that the coyote died in the first ACME incident and now he's in a Sisyphean purgatory where he must always chase the Roadrunner but he can never catch it, and each morning he must try again

    I can't think of many, but if I hear someone referenced, and the common way of addressing them includes their middle name initial, I think trust fund baby

    I always figured that middle name thing was something reporters did to minimise mistaken identity

    otherwise some poor SOB called John Charles Gacy is gonna be getting his house firebombed five times a year.

    I think actors/celebrities get a bit of a pass since they're usually required to add the initial or change their last name when another actor already has that name (e.g. Michael Keaton's real name is Michael Douglas)

    It's not decisive in regards to literally nobody (so far) believing that Wile E. Coyote is capable of playing the stock market.

    It is a rigged game, after all.

    It's so you don't confuse them with the older famous person by the same name. It's important that people know it's a new young actor and not the famous basketball player or founding father of the United States staring in the movie.

    Edit: wait that's Samuel Adams. I always get them mixed up because of that Chapelle skit
