wiki: The name Looney Tunes (1930's) is a variation on Silly Symphonies, the name of Walt Disney's concurrent series of music-based cartoon shorts.
From Oxford Dictionaries:
'looney tunes (informal) adj crazy; deranged n. crazy or deranged people.
Origin: 1980s: from Looney Tunes, the name of an animated cartoon series that began in the 1930s, featuring Bugs Bunny and other characters'
The term has undergone pejoration, as with Mickey Mouse, when it's not being used in reference to the cartoons characters.
Though the animations can be repeatedly played/ played repeatedly still, if their name was novel, it would be back to the drawing board.
