Oh man, I forgot all about Beaky Buzzard!!:smack:  
I loved Beaky’s line when he was chasing Bugs, and Beaky said after thinking he’d put one over on the rabbit, “I was a little too smart for him.”😃

Is that the same guy who said “I’m gonna catch me a rabbit, and I’m gonna eat him right up, yes, yes, yes I am, yes I am…”?

In the “Jack and the Beanstalk” cartoon featuring both Bugs and Daffy, I piss down my leg laffing at the scene where Elmer has confined them under a glass bell jar. All without sound, we see Daffy wringing his hands and getting himself all worked up . Bugs has a blase expression and stands motionless w/ arms folded. Daffy works himself into a real frenzy, then gives up on getting any answer of reaction from Bugs. He assumes Bugs’ pose and expression. At that moment, Bugs reveals…a glass cutter! Daffy plants an exstatic kiss on Bugs’ cheek. When Elmer comes to retrieve his captives, there are Bugs and Daffy shaped holes cut in the glass. Absolutely brilliant!

“Stork Naked” (oh, to be able to host a pic)

The drunken stork is attempting to deliver an egg to Daffy & Mrs.

Daffy devises all kinds of traps - alligators in the basement, guilliotine doorways, etc. The great shot is of Daffy intently operating a huge RADAR set while the stork kinda staggers along behind him.

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. \*\*

The little umbrella – actually a tiny dainty parasol – is the best part.

The best part of the shaving scene: Baby Bear has given Papa Bear a shave, off-screen, that doesn’t go well. Baby Bear reports back…“Ma…Pa’s lying awful still…”. Ma (“but, Henry…”) has been decorating a cake, with “Father” written in the icing. And she pulls a towel over the top of the cake, like she’s covering up a corpse.

Priceless.

It’s horribly politically incorrect, I know, but I just adore the song and dance Charlie dog does in the 'toon “A Hound For Trouble”:

At’sa matter, at’sa matter??  
Hey!!  
At’sa matter for you?  
You eata my raviola  
And my pasta fagiole too  
I’mma give you caccitore  
And a pizza that’s good to chew  
At’sa matter you no like me??  
Hey!!!  
At’sa matter for you??

I’ve recently seen this one, twice, which shocked me. I thought surely the Italian Defamation League would have banned the whole thing.

My best Looney Tunes moment doesn’t even have to have words; or should I say I could be any number of words including “…I’m the fastest gun north, south, east, aaaaaaand west of the Pecos!”

At that moment Yosemite Sam shoots his guns into the floor several times and lifts himself into the air. Freaking Hilarious if you ask me!
