"Cheese Chasers" is a 1951 Looney Tunes short directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese.Two mice, Hubie and Bertie, overindulge at a cheese factory and get sick of the stuff. Figuring they have nothing left to live for, they decide to commit suicide by stepping into the mouth of Claude Cat. Claude thinks there's something off about mice wanting to get eaten and becomes frightened of them, so he figures there's nothing left for him to live for and goes to Marc Antony, a bulldog, to get himself killed. | |

Goodbye, Cruel World! | |
| Cheese Chasers / int_12a59731 | comment |
Goodbye, Cruel World!: Hubie and Bertie are unable to think of anything else to do in life after downing a mother-load of cheese, so they decide to let themselves be eaten by a cat, leaving the trope before doing so (with a double-meaning P.S. attached: "We've lived a full life"). But the eagerness to get eaten scares Claude to the point that he can't eat mice anymore, and unable to perform his main reason for existing as a cat, he leaves the trope (with a P.S. that says, literally, "No P.S.") and proceeds to go draw Marc Antony's wrath. | |

| Cheese Chasers / int_13d6db18 | comment |
One Last Smoke: When Claude, deciding to end his life, punches Marc Antony, the dog starts to chase him. He then realizes that Claude hasn't been running, has blindfolded himself, and has a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. | |

Suicide as Comedy | |
| Cheese Chasers / int_3104d34 | comment |
Suicide as Comedy: Hubie and Bertie are unable to look at cheese after binging on it, so they decide there's nothing to live for and try to get Claude to eat them. This freaks out Claude, who, when he realizes he'll never be able to eat another mouse, decides he needs to end it all and tries to get Marc Antony to massacre him. That said, the meat of the comedy is not so much that attempting suicide is funny, but the reaction from Claude (and later Marc Antony), who won't aid or abet Hubie and Bertie because he's sure it's a trick (i.e., they must be poisoned). | |

| Cheese Chasers / int_571833a | comment |
Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: Taken to psychosomatic extremes. Hubie and Bertie want Claude to eat them, then Claude wants Marc Antony to massacre him. Finding irreparable fridge logic in it all, Marc Antony wants the dog catcher to take him. | |

| Cheese Chasers / int_5eb7e838 | comment |
Let's Meet the Meat: When Hubie and Bertie try to get Claude to eat them, he's quickly suspicious, and freaks out over their increasingly aggressive attempts to be eaten. By the cartoon's end, he's frantically pulling them away as they cling to his lips, shouting, "Let us IN, Mister Cat! Eat us! EAT US!" | |

Cartoon Cheese: Averted at the beginning, with Hubie and Bertie, at the end of their binge at the factory, having eaten paths through a variety of cheeses. Later, though, Claude, trying to get them to leave him alone, offers them some yellow cheese that has holes in it. | |

Seen-It-All Suicide | |
| Cheese Chasers / int_dfed6ad8 | comment |
Seen-It-All Suicide: The cartoon uses an extended version of this trope and Nothing Left to Do but Die. Hubie and Bertie discover that they have eaten enough cheese to make themselves sick of the stuff, and decide to commit suicide by cat. Their efforts cause the cat to go mad and try to commit suicide himself by asking Marc Antony to massacre him, driving the dog mad as well. | |

Aside Glance: Marc Antony (the bulldog) gives one of these (combined with a Thousand-Yard Stare), after getting immensely confused as to why Claude is terrified of mice and why Hubie and Bertie are terrified of cheese. | |

Nothing Left to Do but Die | |
| Cheese Chasers / int_f2350614 | comment |
Nothing Left to Do but Die: Hubie and Bertie pig out on cheese to the point that they get sick of the stuff. Believing there's nothing left to live for, they decide to commit suicide by cat. Later in the short, Claude, disturbed by the two mice wanting to get eaten by him, decides to get pulverized by Mac Antony. Marc attempts to mathematically (as in, actually using an adding machine) look at the situation, but can't make heads or tails of it either, and decides to purposefully get caught by the dog catcher. | |
