Bugs Bunny is the modern American trickster and easily the biggest star of the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons and their related works. The only rival of Mickey Mouse, he's inarguably one of the most famous cartoon characters in the world and an icon of The Golden Age of Animation. This character as a Funny Animal is found in many cultures' mythologies, including Reynard the Fox, Anansi the spider, Native American spirit Coyote, and Bugs' great-grandfather, Br'er Rabbit. Bugs is specifically a Karmic Trickster: harmless when left alone, but gleefully ready to dish out poetic justice whenever he perceives the need. There is an element of education in his revenge.Like many of his peers, Bugs' origins are unclear. Before him, The Marx Brothers were the premier American tricksters, and traces of their influence can be found in many of his best known mannerisms. (In fact, many people aren't aware that Bugs' saying, "Of course you realize, dis means war!" originated in films such as Duck Soup and A Night at the Opera.)More directly, shy, timid prey unexpectedly turning on the pursuer was a common theme at the Warner Bros. animation studios in the early days — Daffy Duck made his debut in the same way. Director Ben "Bugs" Hardaway introduced the notion of this character as a "scwewy wabbit" in "Porky's Hare Hunt" (1938). His name derives either from Hardaway's — model sheets were said to have been tagged with "Bugs' Bunny" — or the contemporary Brooklyn slang "bugs", meaning "crazy". Or both.The proto-Bugs in "Porky's Hare Hunt" was basically Woody Woodpecker as a rabbit. After a few further early appearances where the design and characterization were modified (with the bunny notably gaining grey fur in Hardaway's "Hare-Um Scare-Um" from 1939), it's generally accepted by all parties that the smart, suave, on-the-ball wabbit we know and love today took his full official form in Tex Avery's "A Wild Hare" (1940). Chuck Jones later made him more sympathetic by giving Bugs that iconic attitude of live-and-let-live, right up until he's just that one step too far, and then it's war — "at which point [he] retaliates in every way he can imagine, and he is a very imaginative rabbit."The job of any trickster, but especially the American type, is to think the thoughts and do the things that they say can't be thought or done. He's most likely to be found disturbing the complacency of his culture, or deflating the pompousness of its symbols. Since Bugs is also a comedy hero, he has the added advantage of Plot Armor that could stop an armor-piercing round.His influence on modern American culture, like that of all the Looney Tunes characters, has been far-reaching to the point of ubiquity. For obvious reasons, though, Bugs is the favorite, especially in the theatrical years, getting more shorts than any of his co-stars, with a impressive 168 titles under his beltnote Not counting cameos and the four "proto-Bugs" cartoons. Naturally, he has spawned several imitators over the years, notably direct descendant Buster Bunny of Tiny Toon Adventures and Yakko, Wakko and Dot of Animaniacs — although these last three skew more heavily toward The Prankster.In 2011, Bugs starred in The Looney Tunes Show, having given up his nomadic roots and rabbit holes in favor of an average suburb, shared with co-star Daffy Duck. In 2015, a new series starring Bugs—Wabbit: A Looney Tunes Production, later renamed New Looney Tunes—debuted on Cartoon Network. In 2020, a back-to-their-roots series, Looney Tunes Cartoons, debuted on HBO Max. Bugs' next project was the 2022 Edutainment Show Bugs Bunny Builders, in which he heads a construction company that serves the city of Looneyburg. | |

Hero Antagonist: Some of his later shorts tended to focus more on his enemies (like Daffy) plotting ways to get back at him, to the point his iconic logo at the start of each short can be rather misleading to who you'll be watching for the next five minutes. | |

Bugs Bunny / int_152b22ff | comment |
This is revisited in "Hare Lift": when the huge plane goes into a dive (after Bugs pulls out the control column and throws it out the window) and Yosemite Sam bails out with the only parachute available (not forgetting to shout at the rabbit, "So long, sucker!", leaving Bugs on the plane, the rabbit pulls a lever on the plane. The plane screeches to a halt in midair. | |

Artistic License – Biology: In real life, rabbits do not eat carrots (in the wild at least—they're okay as a very occasional treat for pets, but are too sugary for regular consumption). Bugs is a large part of the reason humans think they do now. | |

Gone Horribly Right | |
Bugs Bunny / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: In "Rebel Rabbit", Bugs is offended that rabbits have a bounty of only 2 cents while foxes and bears are worth $50 and $75, respectively, on the grounds that rabbits are "perfectly harmless" compared to them, and vows to prove that rabbits can be just as bad. In doing so, he becomes a Person of Mass Destruction by, in this order, attacking a guard with his own billy club, renaming Barney Baruch's private bench as "Bugs Bunny", painting barbershop-pole stripes on the Washington Monument, rewiring the lights in Times Square to read "Bugs Bunny Wuz Here", shutting down the Niagara Falls, selling Manhattan Island back to the Indians, sawing Florida off from the rest of the country, swiping the locks off of the Panama Canal, filling up the Grand Canyon, and literally tying up the railroad tracks. Bugs does indeed prove that rabbits are just as bad as bears and foxes and earns a $1 million bounty... and for his efforts, he's hunted down by the entire US Army and imprisoned in Alcatraz. | |

Always Someone Better | |
Bugs Bunny / int_19d1c1ae | comment |
Always Someone Better: During the theatrical shorts, Bugs Bunny could outsmart anybody except Cecil Turtle and the gremlin in "Falling Hare". In The Looney Tunes Show, Bugs would often come out the victor even against Cecil. He plays the opposite end of the role perfectly to the envious Daffy Duck however; Chuck Jones has even stated that Bugs is meant to be everything Daffy isn't. | |

Polka-Dot Paint: In "Easter Yeggs", Bugs paints Elmer's head blue with yellow polka dots in two strokes. He paints red and yellow polka dots in a room of Elmer's home in "Hare Tonic" to make him think he's suffering symptoms of rabbit-itus. | |

Bugs Bunny / int_20751e73 | comment |
In "Dr. Devil and Mr. Hare", Bugs trick Tasmanian Devil into thinking he's the father to a newborn baby, to which Taz gives him a cigar. It then turns out that Taz's "baby" is actually a bomb, but it turns out Taz had played a trick of his own when Bugs finds out the cigar is of the explosive variety. | |

Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing | |
Bugs Bunny / int_21321e38 | comment |
Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: He has fallen onto both sides of this trope; Whenever he's paired with Daffy Duck or Yosemite Sam, he's the Gleeful to their Grumpy. He's a carefree and easygoing trickster, while Daffy is a bitterly sarcastic and frustrated loser who hates him, and Sam has a Hair-Trigger Temper. In The Looney Tunes Show, he's the Grumpy to Lola's Gleeful. Lola is cheerful and hyperactive, while he is her reluctant boyfriend who finds her annoying. | |

Bugs Bunny / int_2227f5c8 | comment |
Menace Decay: Bugs was always a Karmic Trickster, but in the early shorts he was much more hyperactive and relentless about it, and didn't mind taking things above and beyond self-defense either. As the creative team felt a greater need to make Bugs look more heroic, he became tamer and laid back, rarely that proactive unless a foe was antagonising him at that very moment. | |

The Bad Guy Wins: In "Hare Brush", Elmer J. Fudd, who is an eccentric millionaire, has been committed to a sanitarium because he thinks he's a wabbit. Elmer lures Bugs into taking his place for a carrot, where he is examined by a psychiatrist who convinces Bugs that he is Elmer J. Fudd, millioniare who owns a mansion and a yacht. Bugs decides to go "wabbit hunting", only for Elmer in a Bugs Bunny suit to use his own tricks against him. An I.R.S. agent asks him, "Are you Elmer J. Fudd?" and after a hypnotized Bugs answers that he is, they take him away for income tax evasion, and Elmer (as Bugs) says "I may be a scwewy wabbit, but I'm not going to Alcatwaz!" After Daffy goes through a bunch of fast-changing scenery and crazy re-drawing jobs in "Duck Amuck" where Bugs is revealed to be the artist, Bugs ends up on the receiving end of his own gags in "Rabbit Rampage", where the artist is revealed to be Elmer Fudd. | |

Sorting Algorithm of Evil | |
Bugs Bunny / int_323f135b | comment |
Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Bugs' Rogues Gallery follows this, with each main enemy that he encounters being progessively more dangerous or belligerent. Bugs' first main enemy was Elmer Fudd. Elmer was generally malicious, typically having end goals that were explicitly harmful to Bugs but was dull witted, soft mannered, and mild tempered to the point that even when he was a clear cut antagonist the creators still felt like Bugs was bullying him. The creators endeavored to create a new foe to counteract how ineffectual Elmer was and made Yosemite Sam. Sam wasn't necessarily smarter than Elmer but was much more aggressive and violent, typically having several moments during his appearances that showcased how much of a villain he was. Sam was followed up with Marvin the Martian. Marvin was Affably Evil, being softspoken but completely at ease with doing downright deranged actions. (His debut had him planning to blow up the Earth for petty reasons) He also had resources and know-how to be a legitimate threat. Following Marvin was the Tazmanian Devil. Taz was very much The Berserker who required no prodding at all to go after Bugs with the stated intention of eating him. Not only was Taz very much a physical threat but he also proved smart enough to see through a few of Bugs' tricks, so it's not too shocking that meetings between the two gave Bugs a few Oh, Crap! moments. Topping them all was Witch Hazel. The witch was unpredictable and Ax-Crazy to the point that Bugs was usually terrified of her and often managed to elude her more by luck than anything. | |

Arch-Enemy: Of all the characters Bugs goes up against, Elmer Fudd is probably the most frequent. As a hunter, Elmer hunts Bugs for the sport of it, as if Bugs is a Worthy Opponent. Bugs, however, frequently sees Elmer as an annoyance. Yosemite Sam also has a knack for constantly trying to kill Bugs, but for more personal reasons. Sam has a Hair-Trigger Temper at the best of times, and Bugs setting off Sam even slightly causes the outlaw to fly into a murderous rage. Cecil Turtle is not only 3-0 against Bugs, he beat Bugs at his own game. | |

Hare-Um Scare-um (MM, Hardaway/Dalton): Where Bugs is officially named as Bugs' Bunny—note the possessive term, which appeared on the model sheet prepared by Charles Thorson. He is still manic, but has now grown in size and sprouted grey fur and an apricot muzzle, looking closer to the Bugs we know. His Hammerspace ability is revisited, now presented in a non-magical context. He also hams it up with some sarcastic mock-pathos, which would be echoed in A Wild Hare and The Wabbit Who Came To Supper. This short is also infamous for having a lost ending that was cut out of most original prints, but has been found and included in Looney Tunes Platinum Collection Vol. 2. | |

Bugs Bunny / int_36999dd | comment |
This Means War!: While not always explicitly said, it gradually became a key facet of his character (at least in the later shorts he starred in) that if you left him alone he'd leave you alone, but if you started a fight the gloves would come off. Many of the cartoons he appears in start with him just going about his usual business when someone else provokes him, leading to the usual antics. Less of the case when he's a Villain Protagonist, however. | |

Real Award, Fictional Character | |
Bugs Bunny / int_37cee864 | comment |
Real Award, Fictional Character: In the 1944 short "What's Cookin' Doc?", Bugs believes he's a shoo-in for Best Actor at the Oscars, but James Cagney wins it instead, causing Bugs to have a meltdown. He ends up getting a Booby Prize Oscar, shaped like him. Bugs is awarded a Nobel Prize in The Looney Tunes Show episode "The Shelf". Subverted when this genius bunny succeeds in demolishing his entire house while building a shelf to display his award. Bugs argues with the humorless Kate Houghton during Looney Tunes: Back in Action about rehiring Daffy Duck, and bolsters his argument with four Oscar statuettes and a chunk of granite with his Walk of Fame star on it. For the record, four Warner Bros. cartoons have won an Oscar, but only one went to a Bugs Bunny cartoon: "Knighty Knight Bugs". Bugs Bunny also has an actual star on the Walk of Fame. In the short "Super-Rabbit", Bugs becomes a Marine at the end. In real life, the U.S. Marine Corps were so thrilled by that ending that they actually inducted Bugs into the force as a private, complete with dogtags; he was regularly promoted until the end of World War II, where he was officially "discharged" with the rank of Master Sergeant. On the Tiny Toon Adventures episode "Who Bopped Bugs Bunny?", Bugs' Shloscar is treated as the actual Oscar that "Knighty Knight Bugs" won. | |

Bugs Bunny / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Cecil Turtle in Rabbit Transit. He cheated and still won. More accurately, he cheated until the home stretch, when he stopped using his rocket-powered shell. He let Bugs go by, who was running over the speed limit since he was aware Cecil was rocket-propelled. After he "won", he was promptly arrested. Both of these examples are particularly strange, as they were made during a time when The Hays Code banned Karma Houdinis in the film industry. | |

Deus ex Machina: In "Rabbit Punch", the Crusher has tied Bugs to a train track — in a boxing ring, mind you — then boards a locomotive and proceeds to speed towards Bugs. The scene makes it clear it's passed the Despair Event Horizon, with The Crusher's Slasher Smile and Bugs' genuinely worried expressions. What could possibly save him? Cue the film strip of the cartoon eventually breaking, showing Bugs in a White Void Room, revealing that he cut the film with scissors, thereby ending (or, rather, non-ending) the cartoon. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
Bugs Bunny / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: The early shorts are very strange to watch if you're familiar with the Bugs from the late 40's and onward—for one thing, Bugs is sometimes the butt of the joke, filling a role similar to what Daffy Duck would later evolve into. One must understand that in his infant years, the directors stumbled across Bugs entirely by accident in A Wild Hare, and didn't quite "get" what made Bugs such a hit at first. and this is supported by the early batch of post-Wild Hare shorts like "Elmer's Pet Rabbit", "Tortoise Beats Hare" and "Hiawatha's Rabbit Hunt". It wasn't until "The Heckling Hare" and "All This and Rabbit Stew" when they started to get a clue as to what Bugs was about, and even then Chuck Jones still took a while to fully understand Bugs' character. Friz Freleng reflected on Bugs's evolving characterization in a 1990 interview: | |

Bugs Bunny / int_5076ccdb | comment |
You Say Tomato: Bugs Bunny is fond of odd pronunciations. "Maroon" for 'moron' is perhaps the best known. Part of it is his accent, but much of it seems to be affectation. Bugs does use "moron" in "Tortoise Beats Hare". He was also known to mangle the word 'imbecile' (which he pronounces as "im-BES-sel"). Bugs says "nave" instead of "naïve" at least once, but also says "naïve", so at least this one is likely intentional. Bugs also has trouble saying Aluminum, either calling it Alu-mini-um or extending it to Aluminumminumminum. | |

Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress | |
Bugs Bunny / int_54fb42f0 | comment |
Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress: A Looney Tunes staple that was lampshaded in "High-Diving Hare", wherein Yosemite Sam ties him up, quick-marches him up onto a high-diving platform and out to the end of the board, then saws off the board in order to force Bugs to go through with his diving act... only for the diving platform to suddenly collapse and bring Sam down with it, while the diving board itself hangs in midair. "I know this defies the law of gravity... but I never studied law!" Also done in "A Star is Born", when Daffy saws off the limb of a fake tree trunk. Bugs was sitting on said limb. Unfortunately for Daffy, the only part being held by invisible strings is said limb. The tree instantly falls over. Let's not forget "The Heckling Hare", which has Bugs and his antagonist Willoughby the dog falling off a cliff for a very long time. Averted at the end when they skid to a stop before hitting the ground. In "Falling Hare", the bomber that Bugs and the gremlin are in goes into a steep dive, during which the wings tear off, but it stops in midair right before hitting the ground: This is revisited in "Hare Lift": when the huge plane goes into a dive (after Bugs pulls out the control column and throws it out the window) and Yosemite Sam bails out with the only parachute available (not forgetting to shout at the rabbit, "So long, sucker!", leaving Bugs on the plane, the rabbit pulls a lever on the plane. The plane screeches to a halt in midair. In "A Star is Bored", Bugs puts a jet into a steep dive as part of a movie stunt, but halts it mere feet above the ground. He then swaps positions with his stunt double (Daffy in a rabbit suit) who crashes into a heap when the cameras roll again. Referenced in Looney Tunes: Back in Action, where this works until the female protagonist points out that this shouldn't work, upon which gravity kicks back in again and they land in a crumpled heap. | |

Karma Houdini Warranty: Bugs also took the role of the sadistic animator in Duck Amuck, one of the only roles that he tormented Daffy just for fun. While Daffy is powerless to stop him in the cartoon, in Rabbit Rampage, he ends up paid back in his own coin by Elmer Fudd. Fittingly, Bugs had a history of heckling Elmer unprovoked and getting off scot free in earlier cartoons as well (eg. "Wabbit Twouble"). | |

Unexpectedly Real Magic: In the cartoon "Transylvania 6-5000", Bugs spends the night at the castle of Count Bloodcount, a vampire wanting to sink his fangs on our hero. Unable to sleep, Bugs picks up a book on magic spells and reads out loud about the words Abracadabra and Hocus Pocus. Unbeknownst to him (at first, anyway), those words cause the Count to turn into a bat and back again, respectively. As Bugs makes up a song about them, the Count keeps changing at the most inopportune times. | |

Bugs Bunny / int_63b02752 | comment |
Whenever he's paired with Daffy Duck or Yosemite Sam, he's the Gleeful to their Grumpy. He's a carefree and easygoing trickster, while Daffy is a bitterly sarcastic and frustrated loser who hates him, and Sam has a Hair-Trigger Temper. | |

Knight of Cerebus | |
Bugs Bunny / int_6a47a1e2 | comment |
Knight of Cerebus: Many Warner directors, particularly Friz Freleng, were bent on making a more challenging Rogues Gallery for Bugs, fearing that earlier, more docile foes such as Elmer Fudd failed to provoke him and leaned his characterization more into that of a smarmy bully. Yosemite Sam was the first attempt at this, being ineffectual, but far more violent, relentless and conniving than Elmer, and often playing on Bugs' more altruistic image. When Sam started to lose his edge, Chuck Jones created Marvin the Martian, contrasting Sam by being affable and polite, but actually competent and dangerous enough to evoke fear from Bugs. | |

Not So Invincible After All | |
Bugs Bunny / int_6b22aace | comment |
Not So Invincible After All: The writers had a field day with these. While usually making it through each short with hardly a hair out of place, every now and then Bugs' luck would run out and he would be made the Butt-Monkey to another, usually underestimated foe. In the earliest shorts, this role usually fell to the character of Cecil Turtle, but even Bugs' most hapless nemeses could occasionally score a victory on him: one of the classic examples being Rabbit Rampage — itself a successor to Duck Amuck in which Bugs replaces Daffy as the victim of a tormenting animator, who turns out to be Elmer Fudd. | |

Parody Magic Spell | |
Bugs Bunny / int_6bc0b4c3 | comment |
Parody Magic Spell: Used in "Transylvania 6-5000". Bugs starts reading a book about magic words that contain the words "Abracadabra" and "Hocus Pocus." Unbeknownst to him (at first, anyway), "Abracadabra" turns the vampire into a bat, and "Hocus Pocus" turns him back into a person. He starts singing the words in a song, transforming the vampire back and forth (Hilarity Ensues)... then starts mixing them up in the song, "Abraca-Pocus" and "Hocus-cadabra", making half the vampire transform, i.e. a human body with a bat's head, then a bat's body and human head. Then he throws out, "Newport News!" which changes the vampire into an ugly witch, and finally, "Walla Walla Washington!" which turns him into a two-headed vulture. | |

Jerkass Ball: Bugs is a huge jerkass in the shorts featuring Cecil Turtle and this causes him to lose Karmic Protection. The odd time Bugs' winning streak ended was karmically provoked by an unusual bout of callousness from the usually easy going rabbit. In a few of his earlier shorts, he played the Jerkass trope straighter than elsewhere. | |

Friend to All Children: Not too surprising given his Nice Guy behavior but Bugs does show himself as friendly and helpful to the young in age, a good way to get him after you being to threaten them. And in the very rare instances that he has a child as an antagonist (or believes such to be the case) he will opt for thwarting them and escaping, rather than retaliate as normal. | |

Outdated Name: "Bugs" or "Bugsy" was a reasonably common nickname in the '30s for someone known to be a little crazy, especially if their given name started with B. The slang fell out of usage and now the cartoon rabbit is just about the only well-known Bugs in popular culture, subjecting the name to One-Mario Limit. | |

Karmic Trickster | |
Bugs Bunny / int_79190971 | comment |
Karmic Trickster: The writers actually had a set of rules they always followed when writing Bugs Bunny cartoons to make sure Bugs didn't become an out-and-out bully. For starters, Bugs himself never started fights; he could retaliate all he wanted, but he never antagonized. On occasions when he did dole out punishments his victim didn't deserve, things would start going wrong for him. Best example would be "Rebel Rabbit" where Bugs is incensed that the bounty on rabbits is mere pennies, and sets out to prove that Rabbits aren't harmless by wrecking the country in funny ways. (Sawing off the state of Florida, filling in the Grand Canyon, literally tying up the railroads) In the end, he's hunted down by the armed forces and put in Alcatraz Prison, where he concludes that maybe he "went a little too far". | |

Bugs Bunny / int_7cc8d769 | comment |
Sore Loser: The lesser-seen aspect of his personality; during the rare moments where Bugs is on the losing side of things, he does not take it well. The trilogy of his shorts with Cecil Turtle, and Rabbit Rampage, all see Bugs coming out on the losing end. When he does, Bugs shows that he can be pretty vindictive and spiteful when he loses, spewing out insults and resorting to cheap tactics in order to win. And when even that doesn't work, Bugs will insist that he deserves to win anyways. | |

Card-Carrying Jerkass | |
Bugs Bunny / int_7fede331 | comment |
Card-Carrying Jerkass: In his earliest incarnations, he really was a Card-Carrying Jerkass, and he would torment whoever his nemesis was for virtually no reason, as in Elmer's Pet Rabbit. Before long, though, his personality was toned down into a much more likable (and marketable) character. note Depending on the Writer, at least. He was rather nasty in his trilogy of shorts with Cecil Turtle, though Cecil wasn't really any better. Even in later cartoons, Bugs sometimes invokes this by wryly saying "Ain't I a stinker?". In most cases, however, his jerkassery is usually provoked by the antagonist's attempts to kill him. | |

MagicPokerEquation | |
Bugs Bunny / int_82b5385d | comment |
Magic Poker Equation: Most humorously in "Barbary Coast Bunny" where Bugs walks into a crooked casino where all the games are rigged, and still cleans the place out. Also in "Bonanza Bunny," where he plays 21 with Blacque Jacques Shellaque and holds on only one card. Blacque Jacques draws two tens of Spades for a 20, but Bugs' single card is a '21' of Hearts. Bugs does something similar to this in "Hare and Loathing in Las Vegas", where when playing blackjack against Yosemite Sam, Sam as dealer gets a twenty with two cards and Bugs reveals that he has 21 aces. In fact the whole short seems to be based on this trope. | |

Sam was a more malicious and challenging foe to Bugs, and also had the habit of picking on other characters, allowing Bugs to look more outright heroic in his trickery. | |

Shut Up, Scary Thing!: Director, Bob McKimson, once claimed Bugs as the type of person where if a lion roared at him, he would simply walk over and slap it across the face. He displays this in Bully for Bugs when a bull keeps snorting on his tail, and Bugs slaps him exclaiming, "Stop steamin' up my tail! Whaddaya tryin' to do? Wrinkle it?!" | |

Karma Houdini | |
Bugs Bunny / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: In Buckaroo Bugs, Bugs is the villain of the piece, a western outlaw named "The Masked Marauder", who steals carrots and humiliates the wimp of a cowboy sent to bring him in. While Bugs was the antagonist once or twice, he never again "got away with it" like he does here. Cecil Turtle in Rabbit Transit. He cheated and still won. More accurately, he cheated until the home stretch, when he stopped using his rocket-powered shell. He let Bugs go by, who was running over the speed limit since he was aware Cecil was rocket-propelled. After he "won", he was promptly arrested. Both of these examples are particularly strange, as they were made during a time when The Hays Code banned Karma Houdinis in the film industry. | |

Medium-Shift Gag: The punchline of "Rabbit Hood" is that Robin Hood has been MIA for most of the film, and when he finally appears, it's live-action footage of Errol Flynn from The Adventures of Robin Hood.

In "Hare Brush", Elmer J. Fudd, who is an eccentric millionaire, has been committed to a sanitarium because he thinks he's a wabbit. Elmer lures Bugs into taking his place for a carrot, where he is examined by a psychiatrist who convinces Bugs that he is Elmer J. Fudd, millioniare who owns a mansion and a yacht. Bugs decides to go "wabbit hunting", only for Elmer in a Bugs Bunny suit to use his own tricks against him. An I.R.S. agent asks him, "Are you Elmer J. Fudd?" and after a hypnotized Bugs answers that he is, they take him away for income tax evasion, and Elmer (as Bugs) says "I may be a scwewy wabbit, but I'm not going to Alcatwaz!" | |

Negative Continuity: As with all the other Looney Tunes, each Bugs short starts off fresh. The sole exception to this, and probably all the old shorts in general, is Tortoise Wins by a Hare, which directly references its predecessor, "Tortoise Beats Hare", by having Bugs watch the actual cartoon on a home movie projector, but due to some plot details being ignored (such as that Cecil blatantly cheated in the first race, something Bugs has seemingly forgotten) it probably falls under Broad Strokes as well. | |

Fake Faint: In "Rabbit Punch", Bugs is in a boxing match. He says to the audience that he'll feint the Champ out of position; he walks over to the Champ, then pretends to faint, and when the Champ looks down to see if he's okay, Bugs punches him with both fists. | |

Depending on the Artist | |
Bugs Bunny / int_d83f3588 | comment |
Depending on the Artist: In the late forties it was easy to tell who had directed which Bugs cartoon just by looking at Bugs's design. Friz Freleng used the design which we all know and love today (although initially, he used a more odd rubbberhose design for him prior to the mid to late 40s), Chuck Jones had a slightly different version with larger eyes, larger cheeks and more pointy teeth (having initially drawn him more round), and Robert McKimson (plus, for his sole Bugs Bunny outing, Arthur Davis) had a majorly different version with stubbier legs, a slight pot belly, more slanted eyes, long teeth, and a huge mouth that flapped around like a windsock whenever he talked. And Bob Clampett had an incredible variety of ways to draw Bugs, since he gave his animators more leeway in deviating from the model sheets. At the end of the decade, the differences became a lot less pronounced. Some artists would even play this up for comedic effect. Picking out Rod Scribner's and Robert McKimson's animation of Bugs in a Bob Clampett cartoon is considered almost the entry level for identifying Golden Age artists' styles. "Buckaroo Bugs" is probably the easiest instance to distinguish Scribner and McKimson's styles, because there's a scene late in the film where Scribner's animation abruptly switches to McKimson's animation in the middle of chewing a carrot! | |

Bugs Bunny / int_df41acb | comment |
Casual Danger Dialogue: A trademark. His catch phrase even emerged as this, given Bugs' reaction to Elmer shoving a gun to his face was "What's up, Doc?" In "Hair-Raising Hare", Bugs is barricading a door with a monster on the other side and shouts frantically to the audience "Is there a doctor in the house?!" When one stands up in the audience, Bugs coolly enquires "Ehhh, what's up, Doc?" | |

Flanderization | |
Bugs Bunny / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Yosemite Sam was actually created to combat this. After a few cartoons, it rapidly became apparent that Bugs Bunny could think circles around Elmer Fudd so thoroughly that, even when Elmer was clearly the antagonist, Bugs still looked like the bully. So they created Sam to give Bugs an opponent who was smart enough (or at least belligerent enough) to give Bugs a challenge and keep him from Flanderizing into a villain. After a while, even Sam had become ineffective, and so both Marvin The Martian and the Tazmanian Devil were introduced to bring in a fresh new threat (proving slightly more effective). | |

Stripping Snag | |
Bugs Bunny / int_eb5571a6 | comment |
Stripping Snag: In "Mississippi Hare", Bugs dresses as a Southern Belle to escape Colonel Shuffle, and tricks another man into tossing the Colonel off the steamboat. Bugs' skirt then gets snagged on a gate, stripping off the back half. The man takes one look at the "lady's" exposed cottontail, throws a fit and jumps ship. "Aw, well. We almost had a romantic ending." The same gag is used in "Hare Trimmed", with Bugs pretending to be a widow that Yosemite Sam wants to marry. They are halfway to the alter when Bug's train gets caught in a nail, and Sam notices just as he's about to say "I do." It's The Last Straw for Sam and he runs out having a meltdown. | |

Go-Karting with Bowser : Taken to extremes. Bugs often had a very forgiving demeanor to the many individuals that tried to con, maim or even kill him so often. Justified as it's all part of the show. In the Looney Tunes B-Ball video game, he plays a game of basketball against several members of his Rogues Gallery; Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Wile E. Coyote, Taz the Tasmanian Devil, and Marvin the Martian.note Sylvester is the notable exception, as while he is still often depicted as an antagonist in the Looney Tunes universe, Bugs isn't one of his targets. | |

Foe Romance Subtext | |
Bugs Bunny / int_fc9b6be5 | comment |
Foe Romance Subtext: Bugs shows some degree of this with most of his antagonists. Elmer is always smitten by Bugs' cross-dressing antics. It says something when at least two cartoons end with Bugs marrying Elmer. The icing on the cake is that Bugs doesn't seem to mind at all to kiss him or be held by him, in fact, he seems to enjoy it. Then again, he is a savvy, iconic trickster to boot... Bugs in "Rabbit's Feet" comes off as shamelessly flirting with Wile E. Coyote with all of the kissing, cuddling and idle chit-chatting he does. There's also Bugs' friendship-slash-rivalry with Daffy. As much as Bugs revels in observing and/or causing Daffy's suffering, the two are frequently shown hanging out together, and in Looney Tunes: Back in Action he's willing to go to great lengths to get Daffy re-"hired" by Warner Brothers. After all, without Daffy, who is he going to play Duck Season, Rabbit Season with? | |

In his earliest incarnations, he really was a Card-Carrying Jerkass, and he would torment whoever his nemesis was for virtually no reason, as in Elmer's Pet Rabbit. Before long, though, his personality was toned down into a much more likable (and marketable) character. note Depending on the Writer, at least. He was rather nasty in his trilogy of shorts with Cecil Turtle, though Cecil wasn't really any better. | |
