Hare Ribbin' is a 1944 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Robert Clampett, starring Bugs Bunny and an unnamed Russian-accented dog.Bugs Bunny contends with a dopey hunting dog who intends to eat him as they take refuge in a pond.This cartoon is infamous for its two endings; one in which the dog commits suicide via a pistol, and another where Bugs kills him with said pistol. It's also notable as being the first cartoon to have Bugs' headshot appear after the WB shield in the opening.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: The Russian dog's accent is based on Bert Gordon's "Mad Russian" character.

Tempting Fate: After the dog wishes he were dead after seemingly killing Bugs, the rabbit replies “Nyeh, do you mean it?” and pulls the trigger on him.

The Cameo
 Hare Ribbin' / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: A variation. Bugs puts on Elmer Fudd's hunting hat and wields his shotgun as he pretends to "hunt" a rabbit to bring to the Russian dog. He even mimics Elmer's catchphrase, which the dog also does once Bugs leaves the scene.

Half the Man He Used to Be
 Hare Ribbin' / int_91697559
comment
Half the Man He Used to Be: Played with. In the theatrical version, Bugs pulls this effect off by tucking in the lower half of his body so that the dog doesn't actually eat him. He then pretends to shriek out in pain when the dog takes a bite and fakes his death, filling his canine predator with guilt. This was not present in the director's cut version for some reason; it was added for the theatrical version to make it clear that Bugs really hasn't been eaten.

Dogs Are Dumb

comment
Dogs Are Dumb: Like most of Bugs' rogues gallery, the Russian dog isn't quite bright and is prone to falling for the rabbit's tricks. In fact, when he meets Bugs for the first time, he doesn't even recognize him as a rabbit until Bugs explains what rabbits are to him and tosses him down a hole.
