"Hare Trimmed" is a 1953 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Friz Freleng and featuring Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam and Granny, the latter in one of her few appearances outside of the Sylvester and Tweety shorts.Sam learns that a local widow (Granny) has inherited $50 million and decides to marry her for her money, after which he intends to throw the residents of the old people's home out, raze the orphanage, and eliminate the police department. Unbeknownst to him, however, Bugs has overheard the ornery ruffian's evil intentions and vows to keep the widow safe, as only he can.This short was later edited into both the 1979 TV special Bugs Bunny's Valentine (a.k.a. Bugs Bunny's Cupid Capers) and the 1981 theatrical film The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie.A soundbite of Sam laughing in this cartoon was also used for the enemy Jack in Streets of Rage 2.

Visual Pun: Granny literally has money to burn — that is, she uses actual dollar bills to keep her fire going. In fact, her wood pile is clearly labeled "money to burn".

Runaway Groom: After being put through so much hell and then discovering the true identity of his "bride" at the wedding, Sam ultimately decides not to marry after all and runs off, leaving Bugs at the altar, not that he's all that upset about it.

Historical Longevity Joke: As Sam chases Granny, she muses that she hasn't seen this much action since the boys got back from Gettysburg. Mind you, at the time the Battle of Gettysburg had only been ninety years before.

Squashed Flat: As Sam chases Bugs up a flight of stairs, the rabbit pushes a piano down the stairs in his nemesis' path. Sam tries to run from the piano, but isn't quite fast enough, and the piano reaches the bottom of the stairs before he does, flattened by it.

Mistaken for an Imposter
 Hare Trimmed / int_725a80b2
comment
Mistaken for an Imposter: Seeing that Sam is "looped" (that is, having been crushed by the piano), Granny offers him some black coffee and goes off to get some. Then Bugs, disguised as Granny, runs up with a tray of coffee and asks Sam for "one lump or two" of sugar. Sam asks for two lumps, which Bugs delivers — to his head with a mallet, then runs off. Then the real Granny shows up with another coffee tray and also asks if Sam wants one lump or two. Sam, thinking it's Bugs again, angrily kicks the tray out of her hand and shouts, "THAT'S how many!" Granny recoils in shock and runs up the stairs, crying, "He's flipped his lid!" When he hears how Granny sounds, Sam realizes his mistake and tries to make amends, to no avail.

Kitchen Sink Included: As Bugs, disguised as Granny, decides to "take a few things along" with them for their elopement, he tosses Sam various furniture and other household items. After collecting several items, Sam, glancing toward the camera, remarks, "That dame's takin' everything but the kitchen sink!" Cue the inevitable kitchen sink landing in his arms.

Worth It: Averted in this case. Unlike "Honey's Money", Sam decides no amount of money is worth being hitched (not that he realizes he had been decieved). Bugs, in drag, doesn't seem too bothered by it.

Everything Sounds Sexier in French: To save Granny, Bugs disguises himself as a French suitor, complete with exaggerated French accent. When Bugs encounters Sam, he says a French version of his classic Catchphrase:

Glove Slap: When Sam spots Bugs trying to muscle in on his attempts to woo Granny, he slaps the rabbit in the face with a glove. Bugs retaliates by slapping Sam back with his own glove, which he has loaded with a brick so that it really hurts. This leads to a Duel to the Death (see above).

Ten Paces and Turn
 Hare Trimmed / int_f7bd624c
comment
Ten Paces and Turn: As part of their Duel to the Death with pistols, Bugs starts counting to 10, but while Sam starts actually pacing, Bugs cheats, first by pacing in place, and then, when he reaches 9, by going into some crazy fractions before reaching 10. All the while, Sam keeps pacing, not realizing until Bugs reaches 10 that he has been tricked into the middle of the street, having timed it all so that, as Sam turns to Bugs with his gun drawn, a bus runs him over.
