Rabbit Punch is a 1948 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones and starring Bugs Bunny.The cartoon opens in an outdoor boxing arena with a championship bout between the muscular champ "Battling McGook" (simply known as Crusher in all subsequent cartoons) and his scrawny challenger "Dyseptic McBlaster". While the majority of the audience cheers the Champ on as he beats McBlaster senseless, he finds he has one heckler, Bugs, who is watching the match nearby from his burrow. When he hears Bugs say "Why don't you pick on someone your own size?!", McGook replies "Like you?!" before throwing Bugs in the ring to take McBlaster's place. Despite being puny, Bugs is able to use his wits to give the champ a tougher challenge than he thought. As the match goes further and further into more rounds, the two opponents use more and more unorthodox tactics, culminating in a final round that looks like Bugs has finally had it...until some "technical difficulties" occur. | |

A Taste of Defeat | |
| Rabbit Punch / int_1ee7d1e5 | comment |
A Taste of Defeat: McGook proves a Worthy Opponent for Bugs, successfully getting the better of him several times throughout the short. Heck, the climax has him about to kill Bugs, who has to resort to cutting the film to save himself. | |

Is There a Doctor in the House?: After Bugs tricks him into thinking his leg has been broken, McGook asks for a doctor. Bugs takes the guise of a doctor and wraps the champ head to toe in bandages, then delivers a jab to the kisser. | |

Escalating War | |
| Rabbit Punch / int_534bc834 | comment |
Escalating War: True to Looney Tunes, Combat Pragmatism is an understatement to this "boxing" match. Less expected however, is that Bugs isn't instigating his usual Comically Lop Sided Rivalry, with McGook winning several rounds and supplying just as many insane approaches to outdo Bugs as vice versa, culminating in him summoning a railroad to tie Bugs to and run over with for the decider. | |

| Rabbit Punch / int_5a6c9d5c | comment |
Combat Commentator: Bugs has been knocked out and the announcer begins the count. Suddenly, Bugs grabs the mike and starts doing his own announcing, in which he gets back up and delivers devastating blows on McGook. The Champ, confused, reacts to the play-by-play as if it was really happening, eventually tripping on Bugs and falling down. | |

| Rabbit Punch / int_ca6a3a47 | comment |
Kick Them While They're Down: This is what set Bugs off to heckling McGook, as even though he easily had the advantage over McBlaster, instead of giving him a One-Hit KO, he chose to prolong and torture the poor guy. | |

Slippery Skid | |
| Rabbit Punch / int_e3d5ba34 | comment |
Slippery Skid: McGook tries to sabotage Bugs by pouring axle grease in his sawdust box so his feet would become slippery when he dusted them. Instead of hindering him, however, it enables Bugs to effortlessly skate across the canvas and deliver punches to McGook. | |
