No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| Racketeer Rabbit / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Rocky is clearly modeled after Edward G. Robinson (especially his role in Little Caesar) while Hugo is a Lorre Lookalike. | |

Visual Pun | |
| Racketeer Rabbit / int_1ba8eb64 | comment |
Visual Pun: Disguised as a gangster named Mugsy, Bugs walks over to Rocky and in a threatening voice tells him that it's "curtains" for him. He then places some kitchen curtains over Rocky's head. | |

Failed a Spot Check | |
| Racketeer Rabbit / int_21e5b9c7 | comment |
Failed a Spot Check: Somehow, Bugs gets up half awake to get a glass of water in the middle of a gun fight and doesn't notice it. The only acknowledgement of the situation is when he ducks under a barrage of bullets from Hugo's Tommy gun. ("Low bridge.") Bugs surfaces from his burrow while Rocky is splitting up the loot with Hugo and absent-mindedly gives some to Bugs. Bugs quickly impersonates six other gangsters and Rocky, not realizing the extra "members" of the gang, gives each of them a cut, until Bugs ends up with the rest of the money. Rocky doesn't notice until he finds the loot gone. Rocky is already in bed when "Hugo" returns from taking the rabbit "out for a ride." It's only when Bugs tells him who he really is that Rocky realizes that Hugo never returned. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus: The gangsters drive past a billboard advertising the "Hotel Fritz," a nod to director Friz Freleng. The other side of the same billboard touts "Krools" cigarettes, with the slogan "They're awful but you can buy them." | |
