The Wabbit Who Came to Supper	comment	"The Wabbit Who Came to Supper" is a 1942 Merrie Melodies cartoon, directed by Friz Freleng and starring Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd (in one of only four cartoons where Elmer is shown as a fat man).The cartoon starts with Bugs on the run from Elmer Fudd and his hunting dogs, ending with him getting cornered near a tree. But by chance, a mailman arrives on a scooter and delivers a telegram to Elmer. He reads the letter and discovers that his Uncle Louie is leaving him a $3,000,000 dollar inheritance, but with one catch—if he harms any animals, especially rabbits, he won't get one cent. Ecstatic, Elmer lets Bugs go free, but Bugs has other plans...

Bugs screams in modesty and Elmer closes the door in shame—only to realize he's been duped and runs inside to thrash Bugs.

A bunch of little rabbits that look like miniature versions of Bugs come hopping out of the egg package, saying "Eh, what's up, doc"?

There was growing speculation that when Bugs' towel dropped to his thighs that his genitals were exposed. Upon further viewing, it was the space between Bugs' legs with the tub behind him.

But then he gets a second telegram, revealing that even though he gets the inheritance, the taxes eat through so much of it that he doesn't get any spending money at all—in fact, he owes them $1.98. With no reason left to hold back, he immediately begins chasing after Bugs again.

The Wabbit Who Came to Supper / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The cartoon is a spoof of the 1939 play and 1942 film The Man Who Came to Dinner. As he showers and shaves, Bugs sings "Angel in Disguise", from the 1940 Warner Brothers film It All Came True (which, like The Man Who Came to Dinner, starred Ann Sheridan). When Elmer tries to coax Bugs into leaving, gently patting him on the head, which Bugs claims is terribly hurting him, Bugs references a running gag from the radio show Fibber McGee and Molly when he threatens to call Uncle Louie: "Operator, give me Walnut three three fifty… Ohhh, that you, Myrt? How's every little thing?" (By coincidence, Arthur Q. Bryan, the voice of Elmer Fudd, also played "Doc Gamble" on the Fibber McGee show.)

He quickly wises up on the latter two, though.

The Wabbit Who Came to Supper / int_eb8e4fa8	comment	Jerkass: Elmer is presented as a rather dopey, greedy jerk in the cartoon. He only stops hunting Bugs and cares for him later because a great deal of money is involved, and when his Uncle Louie has passed away, he's very blasé about it, only paying attention to the money he thinks he's getting. Bugs himself isn't much better, as he wastes no time in taking advantage of the condition in Uncle Louie's will, which forbids Elmer from hurting rabbits, to invade his home and leech off him.
