Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Greetings Bait is a 1943 Looney Tunes short (7 minutes) directed by Friz Freleng.None of the iconic characters from the Looney Tunes canon appear. Instead the hero is a wacky worm on the end of a fisherman's hook. The fisherman lowers the worm into the water, whereupon the worm engages in various hijinks to get the fish on the hook. Once he makes himself the meat in a sandwich, once he impersonates a mermaid, once he basically dares another fish into biting. The worm's hijinks are interrupted when he encounters a crab who tries very hard to eat the worm.Second of two appearances for the nameless worm, who first popped up in 1941 Looney Tunes short "The Wacky Worm". | |

Eye on a Stalk | |
| Greetings Bait / int_15d268c9 | comment |
Eye on a Stalk: The crab has them. This leads to a clever shot when the crab approaches an old trunk sitting at the bottom of the water, and sends one eye around each end of the trunk, bifurcating his vision. | |

Battle Discretion Shot | |
| Greetings Bait / int_8fe962f3 | comment |
Battle Discretion Shot: Sets up the closing gag. The worm tells the crab that he's going to beat the crab up. He then tells the audience that the camera is going to pan up, in order to avoid exposing them to violence. The camera then goes to the surface to show the water foaming from combat. Finally the fisherman, revealed to be Jerry Colonna, pulls up the worm, who's on a stretcher and covered in bandages. | |
