comment
Long-Haired Hare is a 1949 Looney Tunes cartoon starring Bugs Bunny and directed by Chuck Jones.Bugs is hanging out one day playing the banjo and singing "A Rainy Night in Rio," when his singing bothers Giovanni Jones, a pompous opera singer who is rehearsing his part in The Barber of Seville. When he finds himself absentmindedly singing along to whatever Bugs is playing, Jones storms outside to put an end to the disturbance by trashing the rabbit's instruments and then tying him painfully to a tree branch by his ears. Naturally, Bugs reacts to this by declaring it's on.That night, at Jones' performance at the Hollywood Bowl, Bugs doles out some characteristically hilarious abuse before unleashing his finale: he enters the orchestra pit disguised as famed conductor Leopold Stokowski, takes over the orchestra and forces Jones to hold an ungodly long G that literally brings the house down.

Fangirl: Bugs disguises himself as a teenybopper asking Jones for an autograph. Giovanni gladly starts to sign the autograph book, unaware that he's signing with a stick of dynamite.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Bugs's ridiculous composer disguise is a parody of Real Life composer Leopold Stokowski, who was also the orchestra conductor in Fantasia and who conducted several concerts at the Hollywood Bowl.

comment
Disproportionate Retribution: While Jones's frustration at Bugs for disturbing his rehearsal is reasonable, Jones responds with increasing violence every time Bugs obliviously interrupts his rehearsal. After these get particularly vindictive, Bugs himself takes very elaborate measures to ruin Jones's performance.

Shout-Out
 Long-Haired Hare / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The opening "Rainy Night in Rio" number is a reference to the long-forgotten film The Time, The Place And The Girl, which was where the song originated. In the scene where Bugs disguises himself as an autograph-seeking teenybopper (an obvious disguise, of course), he says "Frankie and Perry just aren't it," referring to Frank Sinatra and Perry Como, two of pop music's biggest stars of the late 1940s.

Jerkass: Instead of asking Bugs not to interrupt his rehearsals (or better yet, just shutting his sliding glass door, which is visibly open), Jones breaks his instruments and beats him up. At first, Bugs is even uncharacteristically patient with him, and puts up with it three times before finally having enough of Giovanni's abuse.
