"Hillbilly Hare" is a 1950 Merrie Melodies cartoon starring Bugs Bunny. Bugs is vacationing in the Ozarks of Arkansas when he runs into two stereotypical hillbillies, Curt and Punkinhead Martin, who get the idea that Bugs is one of the Coys, the family they're feuding with. After embarrassing and outwitting the hillbillies in typical Bugs Bunny fashion, Bugs tricks them into a long, elaborate square dance routine in which he gives them increasingly violent directions, until the brothers finally dance off a cliff.Directed by Robert McKimson, "Hillbilly Hare" is actually his highest-rated classic Looney Tunes or Merrie Melodies cartoon on IMDb, with an average rating of 7.9/10. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Hillbilly Hare / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Martins' rifles have barrels so long that it takes about twenty seconds for the bullet to come out when they fire, and they shake like crazy every part of the way. Bugs being able to make the bullets turn around while they are still in the barrel and blow away their users by pulling out the guns' handle and slapping them in the other end is pure cartoon physics, but he still decides to do it because waiting for the bullet to get out bores him. | |

Misplaced Retribution | |
| Hillbilly Hare / int_2e8875f0 | comment |
Misplaced Retribution: Curt and Punkinhead Martin are both part of a Feuding Families situation, and when it comes to Bugs, they believe he is a member of the rival Coys (due to Bugs Comically Missing the Point) and are going to shoot first and ask questions later—or maybe never. | |

Bowdlerization | |
| Hillbilly Hare / int_a49914aa | comment |
Bowdlerization: The version shown on ABC's The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show back in the 1990s edited out a lot of comic violence: The scene where Bugs mistakes Curt's gun for a camera and has his carrot shot full of holes. The scene where Curt unties his rifle barrel and gets blasted in the face. The scene where Bugs meets up with Punkinhead, and Bugs reverses the gun barrel so that Punkinhead is blown up. The aftermath of the explosion in the dynamite shack sequence where Curt comes out with Bugs' lit lighter and says, "I think y'all are usin' too strong a fluid." This part of the famous square-dance ending (and the matching comic violence): | |

Aerith and Bob: The two hillbillies are named Punkinhead and Curt. Curt could simply just be short for Curtis, but Punkinhead is an odd name, assuming it's not a nickname. | |
