"Hare Lift" is a 1952 Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Friz Freleng featuring Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam. The short revolves around the "world's biggest" (and worst-guarded) airplane which Bugs wanders aboard after it is parked over his rabbit hole and left unattended. Sam is a fleeing bank robber who boards the plane as well, mistaking Bugs for the pilot and forcing him to take off. As always, Hilarity Ensues, but as seen below, the short's two best-remembered gags involve the use of the plane's two parachutes.Much of the comedy with the airplane makes the cartoon a Spiritual Successor to Bugs' 1943 Falling Hare.

Wrong Parachute Gag
 Hare Lift / int_10e8d2d4
comment
Wrong Parachute Gag: Somewhat amazingly averted, in that both of the parachutes included on the plane work exactly like they are supposed to. Not that it does Sam much good. A later clip-show toon,"Devil's Feud Cake" partially re-used footage from this segment to play the trope straight, with Sam ending up with a backpack of camping supplies instead.

Instant Expert: Bugs picks up the basics with a (relatively) quick read through the plane's instruction manual. He would have done it even faster, but he's clearly trolling Sam.

Pragmatic Adaptation
 Hare Lift / int_603f1a80
comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: In The Bugs Bunny Mystery Special (1980), the scene where Yosemite Sam robs the Last National Bank is replaced with Elmer Fudd offering him a bounty of a large sum of money if Sam can find Bugs and arrest him (since Bugs himself, framed for being the Tall Dark Stranger, has escaped from Sing-Song Prison at the end of Big House Bunny); the scene where Sam threatens to shoot him if Bugs can't help him escape is replaced with Sam ordering him to "fly us back to Sing-Song Prison"; and the scene where Sam ends up parachuting into a police car of officers is replaced with Elmer flying toward Sam and telling him that he did a "wotten" job before taking the bounty money back and firing him.

Oh, Crap!: Sam's reaction every time he realizes Bugs has tricked him out of the plane. And then a truly classic one at the very end, as his gloating and Evil Laugh dwindle away to a very unhappy "ooooh..." as he realizes where he's landing with his parachute.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: The robot pilot's immediate reaction upon being activated and seeing how dire the situation has become is to strap on one of the two parachutes and bail out.
