comment
"Operation: Rabbit" is a 1952 Looney Tunes short (directed by Chuck Jones) starring Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote. It is the first of five shorts that feature the pair. It is also the first cartoon to see Wile E. co-star with another Looney Tunes character other than the Road Runner, as well as the first time he actually has a voice actor rather than speaking through signs.(Interestingly, this is actually Wile E.'s second appearance. The first was Fast and Furry-ous with the Road Runner).Wile E. introduces himself to Bugs, proclaiming himself to be a super genius, and states his intent of catching and eating the rabbit, claiming that his attempts to escape and dissuade him will not succeed. Undeterred, Bugs dismisses the coyote and his threats, prompting Wile E. to do things "the hard way." However, as the self-proclaimed genius finds out, Bugs is not only as difficult to catch as the Road Runner, but is also able to turn the tides.

Right Behind Me: When Wile E. is trying to turn Bugs' burrow into a pressure cooker, he is unaware of Bugs slipping out through the back entrance and walking up behind him, even unknowingly having a conversation with him when Bugs asks Wile E. what he is doing.

Absurdly Ineffective Barricade: The final attempt by Wile E. to catch Bugs is by filling several carrots with nitroglycerine, and Bugs has placed the explosives shack he's using in the path of an oncoming train. By the time Wile E. finally looks out the shack's window and notices what is gonna happen to him, all he can think of is to pull the window shade down.

comment
The Easy Way or the Hard Way: After Bugs refuses to give himself up, Wile E. says, "Why do they always want to do it the hard way?" This could possibly be a reference to his debut appearance in Fast and Furry-ous, in which the Road Runner also resisted Wile E.'s attempt to eat him during the beginning of the episode.

Non Sequitur, *Thud*: When the coyote fembot that Wile.

Wile E. returns to Bugs' burrow one last time and, before fainting from exhaustion, introduces himself with "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mud."

Cooked to Death: Wile E.'s first plan is to cook Bugs inside his own burrow by installing a pressure cooker over the entrance. Bugs, however, comes out by the back door, tricks Wile E. into looking inside, and closes the cooker on top of him. Instead of letting him get cooked, however, Bugs grabs a club and conks him in the head.

Cut Lex Luthor a Check: The "lump massager" device Wile E. uses in one scene, as well as other gizmos, are all his own home-made inventions (the massager even has a "patent pending" sign on it). You would think that he could have patented that and used the money to buy himself a nice (and most importantly, safe) dinner someplace, but if anything, it's more of a sign that he is a "fanatic" (as he was defined by Chuck Jones himself).
