The Resume

    (February 26, 1908-August 26, 1980)
    Birth name is Frederick Bean Avery
    Helped created the characters of Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck and Droopy Dog

Why he might be annoying:

    Despite his status as an animation pioneer, he never gets as much credit as ones such as Chuck Jones or Walt Disney.
    His middle name was Bean.
    He disagreed with producer Leon Schlesinger, causing him to leave Warner Brothers (1941).
    Because he was fooling around in the office, a paper clip flew into his left eye, making him blind in that eye.
    He created the stereotypical advertising character, the Frito Bandito.
    Many of his cartoons had ethnically insensitive jokes that have since been deleted from those cartoons.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He coined the catchphrase 'What's up Doc?'
    He is one of the most influential animators of all time.
    His style has had influence on cartoon such as 'Ren and Stimpy,' 'Animaniacs' and 'Family Guy.'
    He created possibly the greatest cartoon character of all time: Bugs Bunny.
