Sure, Let's Go with That: After Bugs corrects Sam that he's not 777174, but "three and a half", Sam goes with it and arrests Bugs on the spot anyways.

comment
The Stool Pigeon: After Sam, pushed to his limit, orders Bugs to leave the prison, the rabbit squeals to the warden that Sam apparently allowed a prisoner to escape. In fact, the cartoon ends with a shot of Bugs cooing on a stool.

Trap Door
 Big House Bunny / int_27fdc960
comment
Many American TV airings, like those on ABC, The Merrie Melodies Show (the syndicated and FOX versions) and even Cartoon Network and Boomerang, cut the scene where Sam falls through the trap door of the gallows and gets stuck in a noose. In The Bugs Bunny Mystery Special (which aired in 1980), the scene was replaced with one in which Sam presses the button and the trapdoor becomes a spring trap that launches him into the air.

 Big House Bunny / int_49cf2258
comment
Hanging Around: One of the pranks Bugs pulls on Sam involves Sam falling through a trapdoor on the prison’s gallows and getting caught in the noose. This being a cartoon, Sam doesn’t come to lasting harm. As mentioned under Bowdlerise above, this scene is occasionally cut out or altered for television audiences.

Wig, Dress, Accent: When Bugs passes as the Warden, he dons his uniform, his cap and a mustache. Sam only figures out who he is when the mustache gets stuck on the cigar and gets accidentally removed by Bugs.

Working on the Chain Gang
 Big House Bunny / int_4f3bf54e
comment
Working on the Chain Gang: Mistaking Bugs for an attempted prison escapee, Sam has the rabbit labor on the rock pile. In the climax, Sam has Bugs simply leave the prison grounds for good, thinking he successfully drove him away — only to immediately be fired and arrested by the warden for (allegedly) letting a prisoner go illegally, and the cartoon ends with Sam laboring on the rock pile.

The Coats Are Off: Bugs taunts Sam by saying he wouldn't be so tough without his guard uniform, so Sam takes it off while Bugs takes his prison uniform and prepares to exchange blows. Bugs then "decides" that Sam is tough enough and pulls the Clothing Switch described above.

Not So Remote: When Sam digs his way out from inside a cell with help from a map, courtesy of a disguised Bugs, he emerges in what appears to be a lush jungle. When Sam parts the plants, he discovers, to his horror, that he's actually among the oversized potted plants in the Warden's office.

 Big House Bunny / int_725a80b2
comment
Mistaken for an Imposter: When Sam sees through Bugs' warden disguise, he chases him out of the office and back in again. He then runs up to the desk and clubs who he thinks is Bugs over the head... only to discover it's the real warden! And the Warden (now with a big Cranial Eruption) gives Sam one hell of a Death Glare when he pops back up after being clubbed!

From Bad to Worse
 Big House Bunny / int_7870735b
comment
From Bad to Worse: Parodied; Bugs tunneled inadvertently into the prison yard to escape from hunters chasing him, and got mistaken for an inmate attempting to tunnel out. Between Bugs and Sam, there's no debate as to who gets the worst in this trope.

Couldn't Find a Lighter: Bugs, disguised as the warden, gives Sam a cigar and tells him to "have a light". He then flips the switch of the electric chair Sam is sitting on and reduces the whole cigar to ash.

Cranial Eruption: After Bugs' impersonation of the Warden, Sam comes back in the Warden's office, thinks it's still Bugs in disguise and clubs his own boss on the head. A swelling about as tall as Sam himself erupts on the Warden's head, who then emerges with a Death Glare, and Sam sheepishly taps it back into the Warden's head with his club. Cue another round of yelling and job loss threat on Sam from the pissed off Warden.
