"Hair-Raising Hare" is a 1946 Merrie Melodies animated short directed by Chuck Jones and starring Bugs Bunny.One night as he's preparing for bed, Bugs has the feeling he's being watched by someone. Sure enough, he's being spied on through a television monitor by a Mad Scientist, who uses a mechanical female rabbit to lure Bugs to his laboratory. Upon arriving, Bugs learns the scientist intends to feed him to the lab's resident hairy orange monster (later known as Gossamer).

Fingore: While acting like a manicurist doing the monster's nails, Bugs convinces him to dip his hands in a couple bowls of water. This resulted in the monster screaming in pain as a pair of Mouse Traps dangled from his fingers.

Is There a Doctor in the House?: Bugs, while being chased by the monster, gasps out this phrase. Of course, when a doctor stands up, Bugs asks, "What's up, Doc?"

Bugs is watching the monster through the eyes of the same portrait, when the monster figures out their roles are reversed. Unfortunately for the monster, Bugs pokes their eyes again before they could do it to him.

Chatty Hairdresser: When cornered by the monster, Bugs notices its dirty fingernails and suddenly becomes a manicurist, talking about how "eeenteresting" monsters are as he does its nails. This then leads to the Fingore gag below.

No Name Given: The monster is not named in this short. The name Gossamer actually comes from his third appearance, in the 1980 short "Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24th-and-a-half Century". (In his second cartoon, 1952's "Water, Water Every Hare", he gets the name Rudolph.)

Talking with Signs: Seeing Gossamer in full, a panicking Bugs holds up a sign reading "Yipe!" in very tiny print. He looks at Gossamer again and flips the sign to the other side, which reads "YIPE!" in much larger print.

Impact Silhouette: Bugs taps a hammer on a wall, draws a cross on it and whacks it with a mallet, forming cracks that take the shape of the monster. The broken part of the wall then falls down to leave behind a perfect monster-shaped hole, followed by the monster himself. At the end of the short, the monster leaves these through several walls when he realizes that there are people watching him.
