"Knighty Knight Bugs" is a 1958 Looney Tunes short starring Bugs Bunny. Directed by Friz Freleng, it won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short in 1959, being the final Warner Bros. cartoon and the only Bugs cartoon to do so.In the court of King Arthur, the King asks for one of his Knights of the Round Table to retrieve the Singing Sword from the clutches of the Black Knight (played by Yosemite Sam), but none of them dare to face the Black Knight and his fierce fire-breathing dragon. An ill-timed crack from Bugs, playing the Court Jester, about how "only a fool would go after the singing sword" sees him sent out on the dangerous mission. | |

Dirty Coward | |
| Knighty Knight Bugs / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: Downplayed with all of King Arthur's knights. None of them are willing to face the Black Knight, and when the king asks if they've all gone chicken, they start clucking loudly. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Knighty Knight Bugs / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: "Only a fool would go after the Singing Sword!" When Bugs finds the sword inside a chest, he wonders out loud why they call it the Singing Sword. The sword immediately gives a demonstration, waking Sam up from his sleep. As he walks away from the Black Knight's castle with the sword in hand, Bugs happily says "That was simple". Cue the Black Knight chasing him on dragonback. | |

Anti-Armor: The Black Knight tries to climb up a rope to enter the castle, but Bugs fends him off by hitting him so hard with a mallet that it knocks him out of his armor. | |

Boss-Arena Idiocy | |
| Knighty Knight Bugs / int_38d17b6c | comment |
Boss-Arena Idiocy: Sam clearly didn't know that one of the towers in his own castle was full of explosives, and that he just brought his frequently-sneezing dragon in there... (of course, being Sam, it's just as likely he did know, but was so angry and intent on catching Bugs that he didn't pay attention to where he was going, and Bugs naturally took advantage of it.) | |

| Knighty Knight Bugs / int_43a46119 | comment |
Surrounded by Idiots: The dragon is fierce, but he definitely isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. He repeatedly ruins the Knight's attempts to get the Singing Sword back, and ends up blowing himself and his master to the moon by sneezing in a tower full of explosives. | |

Talking Weapon | |
| Knighty Knight Bugs / int_441ccbad | comment |
Singing Weapon: Bugs finds out that the Singing Sword is called that because it can magically vibrate, making it sound like it's singing. In the final scene, it actually does sing. "Aloha Oe," to be exact. | |

Match in a Bomb Shack | |
| Knighty Knight Bugs / int_53163756 | comment |
Match in a Bomb Shack: At the end, the Black Knight and his dragon (who has a cold, and as a result has been sneezing flames throughout the cartoon) chase Bugs into a tower in the Knight's castle. Bugs then runs back outside, and closes and bars the door, leaving the Knight and the dragon in a tower full of explosives. No points for predicting what happens next... | |

Literal Metaphor: "Have the Knights of the Round Table turned chicken?" [Cue off-screen clucking and a flurry of feathers] Also, the Black Knight and his dragon are literally blown to the moon when the dragon sneezes in a gunpowder storage, causing the tower they were in to take off like a rocket. | |

Not Hyperbole: When the Black Knight tries to stop his dragon from sneezing in the gunpowder storage room, he tells it if it does, it'll blow them to the moon. Sure enough, when the dragon sneezes, the gunpowder sends the tower into the air like a rocket to the moon. | |

Recycled Premise: Much of the second half of the short, Sam attempting to get into a fortress that Bugs is hiding in, is reused from Sahara Hare. It even begins with the same gag: Sam asking the rabbit to open the door, but when the door opens on him, he asks him to close it up again. | |
