"Rabbit Rampage" is a 1955 Looney Tunes short film, directed by Chuck Jones.It's a successor to one of the most famous Warner Bros. cartoons ever made, Duck Amuck, though this time the protagonist/victim is Bugs Bunny: Bugs comes out of his rabbit hole, sees who the animator is (although the audience doesn't, like in Duck Amuck), and refuses to participate any further. The animator erases Bugs' rabbit hole as he tries to dive back into it, causing Bugs to slam right into the ground. Over the course of the cartoon the animator continues to screw with Bugs in various surreal ways, like in Duck Amuck, as Bugs grows angrier and more frustrated.One of the very few cartoons in the Looney Tunes canon where Bugs is the butt of the joke; in fact, the previous cartoon, "Hare Brush", had Elmer Fudd making a fool of Bugs. On the whole, 1955 was a very strange year for Bugs.Was given a video game adaptation for the SNES in 1993 by Sunsoft. | |

| Rabbit Rampage / int_1777688d | comment |
Genre Savvy: In stark contrast to Daffy, Bugs knows from the start that a cartoon animated by Elmer Fudd will only mean torture for him, and attempts in vain to either reason with him or escape. | |

A Taste of Defeat: While Daffy was used to playing Butt-Monkey by the point of Duck Amuck, Rabbit Rampage is among only a small number of shorts in which Bugs gets victimized in the cartoon. | |

Break the Haughty | |
| Rabbit Rampage / int_2af6bbeb | comment |
Break the Haughty: Most of the animator's antics target Bugs' Pride as much as just prank him like Daffy's case, and Bugs is well aware from the start this is their intent, protesting that he's making him "look bad". He reacts in outrage when the animator adds "impostors" of him, or risks his good reputation by framing him with strike picket signs. | |

Tranquil Fury: Bugs attempts to remain composed and snarks and passive-aggressively sneers at the animator in contrast to Daffy's hissy fits in Duck Amuck. There are times, however, where even he struggles to keep a level head. | |

Karma Houdini Warranty: Bugs winds up in the exact same position Daffy was in in Duck Amuck. Rather fittingly, the animator is Elmer Fudd, who Bugs similarly got away with heckling unprovoked in early cartoons. | |

Internal Deconstruction | |
| Rabbit Rampage / int_74911014 | comment |
Internal Deconstruction: Not only of the first Duck Amuck but also Jones seemingly taking a light hearted jab at his own more suave take on Bugs. Throughout the short, Bugs values his dignity before anything, flat out refusing to be in a cartoon where he's not a Born Winner, only to be goaded into it when the director makes jabs at his ego and image. Where Daffy threw unrestrained tantrums in Duck Amuck, Bugs attempts desperately to keep his composure as the animator prods his buttons. | |

Know When to Fold 'Em: In contrast to Daffy in Duck Amuck, Bugs, while still undeniably on the losing side, ultimately manages to bow out of the cartoon with a little dignity intact when, after exhausting all other options, he pulls down a "The End" card. Compare that with Daffy, who pushes the "The End" card away after it appears. | |

Literal-Minded: Combined with Exact Words, many of the animator's tricks are based around this. When he replaces Bugs' tail with a horse's tail and Bugs says it belongs on a horse, the animator turns him into a horse. When he tells the animator he needs ears, he gets human ears, to which Bugs says "Rabbit ears! Long ones!", to which the animator draws mile long ears. Bugs even calls him out on all these pranks. | |
