Baba Looey is a fictional anthropomorphic Mexican burro that appeared in The Quick Draw McGraw Show. He is deputy and best friend to Quick Draw McGraw. He was voiced by Daws Butler.

Character

Baba Looey is Quick Draw McGraw's sidekick, he is brown and wears a sombrero, usually considered a Mexican donkey with a fairly thick accent. He is often seen hanging around with Quick Draw and helps him catch bad guys.

Although technically the sidekick, or deputy, to the main character of Sheriff Quick Draw, he is often portrayed as the more thoughtful half of the duo. At times realizing some detail about a given situation, Baba Looey tries desperately to caution Quick Draw of a trap or other danger, before Quick Draw charges headlong into the fray without listening or giving consideration to his surroundings.

Popular culture

Gary Dell'Abate from The Howard Stern Show got his nickname from his mispronunciation of Baba Looey's name. On July 26, 1990, Gary called Baba Looey, Baba Booey.

In the Daria episode "Lane Miserables", Trent asked the title character "Why did Quick Draw McGraw hang around with that freaky little mule?"

The voice is a parody of Desi Arnaz.^{[citation needed]}
