Bugs to the Martin brothers, _Hillbilly Hare_: …Grab a fence post, hold it tight Whomp your partner with all your might Hit him in the shin, hit him in the head Hit him again, the critter ain’t dead… [sub]Either that, or the flea in _An Itch in Time_: …There’s food around the corner, Food around the corner, Food around the corner for me… [/sub] ---

(from hazy memory) “And I will love him and squeeze him and pet him and call him George.” “Kill tha WAAA-BIT, KILL THE WAAA-BIT!” “Wooooah, dragon!” “My name… is… Slowpoke… Rodriguez…” “Ho! Ha-ha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha! Thrust!” **SMACK!!** “For shame.” [paper bag on head] ---

Cracks me up. When he says “Watch me paste this pathetic palooka with a powerful paralyzing perfect pachyderms percussion pitch.” well that’s pretty good too. ---

My favorite? “Rabbit season!” “Duck season!” “Rabbit season!” “Rabbit season!” “Duck season!” BLAM! “Let’s do that again, but this time, I’ll start…” Brilliant timing, and the look Daffy’s face as he gets outsmarted EVERY time is priceless. ---

The apotheosis of Bugs/Daffy confrontations: Daffy: “Shoot me again! I love the smell of burnt feathers, and gunpowder, and cordite! Look! I’m a moose! Shoot me! It’s Moose Season! Now I’m a fiddler crab! Why don’t you shoot me? It’s Fiddler Crab Season!” ---

Wile. E. Coyote’s greatest moment: > [@](#): > > Wile E. Coyote: Allow me to introduce myself. My name is “Wile E. Coyote”…Genius. I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college, so let’s get down to cases. You are a rabbit, and I am going to eat you for supper. Now don’t try to get away! I am more muscular, more cunning, faster, and larger than you are…and I’m a genius. Why you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten. So, I’ll give you the customary 2 minutes to say your prayers. ---

Wile E. Coyote’s second greatest moment is when he’s trying to dislodge a huge pile of rocks by poking them with a stick from underneath. As some small pebbles start coming down, he slowly stops poking the rocks, then holds up a sign reading “In God’s name, _what_ am I doing?” Then the rocks crush him, despite his attempts to protect himself with a little umbrella. ---

For me it’s the Barber of Seville song: Welcome to my shop Let me cut your mop Let me shave your crop! Daintily! Daint-til-ly! LOVE IT!!! Also like when the Abobnimal Snowman falls in love with Bugs and keeps him as a pet and calls him george. He somehow gets to somewhere where it’s hot and he says “gosh it’s hot.” I say that all the time. I crack MYSELF hot! ---

I’ve got two: Daffy duck: “I’m not like other people, I can’t stand pain, it hurts me” Wile E. Coyote after he goes down a tube and comes out the other and smaller thanh an ant and catches de road runner. “I got him, NOW what do you want me to do with him?” And I second Daffy’s beak turning, classic. ---

Bugs Bunny sabotaging the Giovanni Jones concert by disguising himself as “Leopold.” It’s even funnier if you’ve seen Leopold Stokowski conduct. ---

All these memories are tops. I can’t wait until my family buys me the new DVD set for Christmas. If they don’t, I’m taking back ALL the presents. Now, for my favorite memory … I don’t recall the name or the circumstance, but somehow Bugs delivers news to Yosemite Sam that he stands to inherit $1,000,000 … if he can keep his temper under control. Of course, Sam proceeds to fall down stairs and out of windows throughout the whole episode, each time yelling “Razza fratzin ratta blattin …” and so forth. Priceless. Even better when watched with the closed-captioning on, because they took the time to spell out exactly what Sam is screaming. Hilarious! (In a slight hijack, another good movie to watch closed-captioned is “A Christmas Story,” to read the father’s tirades at the furnace and the car. “You filthy fiston halphead! You dirty rat-blatting …”. I had it in a text file on my old computer, but I guess I forgot to move it to the new one. I know what my family is watching tomorrow night!) And now … “On with the show this is iiiiiit!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-moments-for-looney-tunes-characters/213353.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-moments-for-looney-tunes-characters/213353.md?page=3)
