"Ballot Box Bunny" is a 1951 Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Friz Freleng and starring Bugs Bunny.In the short, Bugs throws himself into the race for small-town mayor after hearing that candidate Yosemite Sam's campaign platform includes a promise to wipe out every last rabbit. An escalating dirty-trick campaign ensues (including a cigar swap), along with hilarity.

Visual Pun: The actual winner of the election is literally a dark horse, and a mare who won the race for mayor.

comment
Ash Face: Exaggerated. After the Explosive Cigar goes off, a man's whole head seemingly turns to ash, which then blows away. Fortunately, his real head was hidden under his coat. Unfortunately for Sam, the guy believes he did the prank and Sam gets Blown Across the Room with a punch. Happens to Sam anytime something explodes in his face (which is a lot in this short).

Bugs purposefully avoids playing that one note that would trigger the explosives in the piano, only for Sam to get annoyed and replace him to play the full melody. With predictable results.

Politicians Kiss Babies: Sam attempts this as a campaign tactic, with little apparent success even before Bugs disguises himself as a baby, kisses him, then cries that "the bad man bit my widdle nose!", leading all the women present to start to hitting Sam over the head with their handbags and umbrellas.

Carry a Big Stick: During a campaign speech, Bugs does an impression of Theodore Roosevelt, quoting his saying about speaking softly and carrying a big stick. Sam retorts that he speaks loudly and carries a bigger stick — which he then hits Bugs with on the head.

Tap on the Head: This particular short is remarkable in that it features one of the rare occasions where Bugs receives one from one of his usual Butt-Monkey antagonists. Specifically, during which Sam takes out his bigger stick and whacks Bugs over the head with it.

Ant Assault: Sam unleashes intelligent ants to ruin the picnic organized by Bugs. They don't attack people per se, they merely steal food (they're somehow strong enough to do it). Bug counter-attacks by putting dynamite in the watermelon that's being carried away by an ant. It then goes boom on Sam.
