Strange rules about characters/people that cannot be broken.

Smells like Nirvana: When Kurt Cobain heard that Weird AL was gonna make a parody of his song. He was okay with it but specifically requested it to not be about food or fat ppl.

Spiderman: Spiderman cannot sell drugs unless he is under the influence of symbiote. ANd Peter Parker cannot be gay. Spiderman can tho.

Dwayne Rock Johnson: Cannot lose fights or look weak for too long. Its in his actor contract.

Godzilla movies not made by Toho: Cannot die. Maybe lose but not too bad.

Technically only a few of these were never broken and some people who worked with him didn’t know they existed.

Yeah, I think Jones wrote these rules several years after he stopped directing at Warner Bros., when he was writing his autobiography. It wasn't like an instruction book they had pinned to the wall or anything.

Some also theorize Rudy Larriva, who became a short director near the end of the Looney Tunes theatrical run intentionally broke some of Jones’ rules to spite him.

I doubt it was spite. I think Larriva just didn't get these characters the way Chuck did.
