My friends, there's far worse cameos:

See the nun on the far right? I'll even tag @Frank D'arbo and @Nurse Ratchet that's fucking Vanessa Redgrave from motherfucking Ken Russel's The Devils.

NB4 "Oh, that's just a random nun!" No! Warner Bros. owns the Devils. It is the same character.

This is a big deal because The Devils is one of the most controversial films ever made, condemned by the Catholic church, and Warner has been doing all they can to suppress the film for over 40 years. They refused to release it on DVD/Blu and they even refused other labels from putting it out like Criterion. I don't know how the streaming service Shudder was able to show it for a while.

This is the equivalent of Disney blatantly referencing Song of the South or the Donald Duck Nazi cartoon in one of their tentpole movies. Whoever put that nun right there got a good fucking laugh.

Sweet mercy... I knew there was something disturbingly familiar about that one...

So Clockwork Orange and a character from the most disturbed, controversial, gory and salacious X-rated film of all time was placed smack dab front and center as one of the most prominently featured crowd characters alongside Mr. Freeze... in a kids movie...? And yet the fucks making this movie made a big stink about Pepe Le Pew and an obnoxious rabbit with tits being the real problematic elements...? The Rick and Morty cameo almost feels inconsequential now... almost.

This is actually fucked up. Why the fuck is Pepe La Pew and Lola with boobs offensive. But this shit is not is beyond me.

Is LeBologna Jamez getting lessons from Neil Drunkmann, on how to treat your audience when they don't like your product? I'm surprised that Jamez hasn't used the "iT's DeEp AnD hIgH iNtElLiGeNcE" and "subverting expectations" lines yet.

Knowing LeBron, he'll probably blame systemic racism or some other race-baiting bullshit at some point.
 
Has Looney Tunes even been particularly relevant since the 90s? It's not like there have been any particular decent spinoffs, revivals, anniversaries, or even cameos since then that I'm aware of. So besides, lacking creativity and furthering the destruction of past properties, what even was the point of this movie?

Follow up: I've done a little bit more research and of the 6 screenwriters for this POS one of them is Terence Nance. A nobody who specialized in avant garde kind of things and that's cool. He's the only one of the screenwriters who has a Wiki page (no doubt he wrote it himself): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_Nance Then you look into it and he was supposed to direct this movie but was replaced by a hack who directed Scary Movie 5. How did this guy get the opportunity to write and direct for this massive tentpole movie? Who knows? I would suggest he was friends with Ryan Coogler who was one of the producers. And Coogler's brother was one of the 6 screenwriters along with Nance.

I think the movie exists as a shit post. I honestly believe that is a very likely hypothesis. That the movie exists as a meta-commentary on the soullessness of Hollywood. The plot is about an A.I. creating movies for the masses. It's pretty blatant. The cameo from The Devil's and Clockwork Orange just tells me that this is a joke on the studio's dime.
 
It's sad to see that even 90's corporate movies like the original Space Jam still feel more creative and alive that anything that Hollywood produces nowadays.
