"Bugs' Bonnets" is a 1956 Merrie Melodies short directed by Chuck Jones, starring Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd. It starts off with a typical Bugs/Elmer chase, until a passing truck full of hats accidentally spills its contents all over the place. This results in various different hats landing on Bugs' and Elmer's heads at random, causing their personalities to change, depending on the headgear they have on.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Notably, this is one of the few Chuck Jones shorts not written by Mike Maltese as usual, but by Tedd Pierce, who used to write for Jones in the 1940s, but who had relocated to Robert McKimson's unit in the early '50s. Pierce also wrote Jones' "Broom-stick Bunny", "Rocket Squad" and "Barbary Coast Bunny" the same year, as well as "Knight-mare Hare" the previous year.

Bowdlerization: On ABC, two scenes were cut: Elmer becoming a Pilgrim when a Pilgrim hat lands on his head and Bugs becoming a stereotypical Indian when an Indian wig lands on his head. Bugs acting like a mobster when a mobster's fedora lands on his head was partially edited to remove Bugs blowing cigar smoke in Elmer's face. On CBS, as on ABC, the scene of Bugs blowing cigar smoke in Elmer's face was cut. On pre-2001 Cartoon Network, the following edits were made (post-2001, however, the cartoon was uncut): The scenes of Elmer acting as General MacArthur and later Bugs acting as a mobster were both edited to remove the respective scenes of their smoking while in their respective roles. The entire scene of Bugs, acting as a game warden, accusing Elmer of shooting sergeants out of season, and Elmer, and before Elmer can answer, has a Pilgrim's hat fall on his head and reply that he's shooting turkeys for the first Thanksgiving dinner, after which an Indian's wig (consisting of long black hair done in braids and two feathers on top) lands on Bugs' head and Bugs begins acting like a stereotypical Native American.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })
