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]
This time we didn’t forget the gravy…
They’ll be no more meatless tuesdays,
no more meatless tuesdays,
no more meatless tuesdays for me…
I would say my favorite Bugs moment is when is in “Baseball Bugs.” It took me nearly 30 years to notice this but in the beginning when he’s eating a carrot he has his carrot in a hot dog bun. 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.
Arise Sir Loin of Beef, Earl of Cloves, Baron of
Munchausen, Milk of Magnesia, Quarter of Ten. . .
In the Robin Hood one, the duel with the sticks that ends with a “sproing!” moment.
The Sylvester/Tweety Christmas ep with Granny. My sig says the rest…
Best Granny moment ever.
Oh, and Twickster, its…
Ho, Ha, Parry, Dodge, Spin, Thrust…Sproing!
Bugs: “Look. Out there, in the audience.”
Monster: “ARRGH! PEOPLE!”
Bugs: “And so, having re-re-disposed of the monster, exit our hero, stage left.”
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:
Oh mighty warrior of great fighting stock
Might I enquire to ask, eh, what’s up doc??
I’m going to kill the rabbit
Oh mighty huntert’will be quite a task
How will you do it, might I enquire to ask??
I will do it with my spear and magic helmet!
Your spear and magic helmet?
Spear & magic helmet!
Magic helmet?
Magic helmet!
Magic helmet
Yes, magic helmet and I’ll give you a sample…
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!
Crack myself hot? I mean UP.
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.
GOAT SEASON
DIRTY SKUNK SEASON
PIGEON SEASON
Then there’s the ever popular: “Yoiks and away!” WHAM “Yoiiiks and away.” WHAM “yoiiiks annnd away.” WHAM “Yoiks…” WHAM “And…” WHAM “Ahhh… way…” WHAM
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!”
