How many characters defeated Bugs Bunny?
All can really think of our the turtles that tricked him in the race similar to Aseop’s fables(actually it was portraying one of Aseop’s fables).
And the little Martian on the airplane. He’s yellow with a partly blue head and a small red nose. Well, he actually didn’t defeat Bugs, but got the better half of him throughout the cartoon.
Do you know of any others?
Right at the moment, Pikachu and the rest of the Pokemon Cartel are hammering him into the ground. :: sigh ::
That little critter in the airplane wasn’t a Martian but rather a gremlin. Gremlins are the small demigods of unexplained mechanical failure and disaster.
The only other opponent I can ever recall getting the better of Bugs was the dim economy-sized beagle who cut off his tail at the end of the one about fox hunting.
So, tell us, Smokey, are you asking out of mere idle curiosity, or are you going somewhere with this?
There was the one where the depressed Easter Bunny got Bugs to substitute for him, and end up with all kinds of misadventures. OF course Bugs got him back in the end.
Actually the best line was when Yosimite Sam (as a prison guard) captures Bugs (who accidently burrowed up into a prison) and makes him work on a chain gang.
Picture bugs in stripes, with ears dropping, long face, unethusiastically tapping on a rock with a mallet, looking into the camera (?) saying, “Me mutter always told me there’d be days like dis.”
Best line EVER from any cartoon.
Elmer killed Bugs in “What’s Opera, Doc,” an episode with Elmer hunting Bugs all done to themes from Wagner’s Ring Cycle. Has to be seen to be believed. Probably the best cartoon ever made.
Elmer also defeated Bugs in the cartoon where they switched places. As Elmer said while Bugs was taken away be the IRS “I may be a scwewy rabbit but I’m not going to Alcatwaz.”
There was the Bugs vs. Taz toon where Bugs built a Frankenstein’s monster which proceeded to beat the crap out of Bugs AND Taz.
2)Cecil Turtle humiliated Bugs twice: defeating him in a race, with the help of dozens of cousins), in one cartoon; and getting Bugs arrested for speeding at the end of another.
“My name is Elmer J. Fudd, milionaire. I own a mansion and a yacht.” You may recall that Elmer flips out and believes he’s a rabbit, while hypnosis convinces Bugs that he’s Elmer. The roles are reversed, and Bugs ends up hunting Elmer (with as much luck as Elmer used to have hunting Bugs).
I forget the title, but there was a variation on “Duck Amuck,” in which Elmer was a cartoonist, and put Bugs through all kinds of tortures.
In the fox hunting episode, the big, dumb fat foxhound manages to cut off Bugs’ tail at the end.
6)In “The Hare-brained Hypnotist,” Bugs hypnotizes Elmer into thinking he’s a rabbit, and Elmer proceeds to torment Bugs.
I don’t know if this is a loss or not but…
There was an episode where Buggs was trying to get into the army. He couldn’t get what he wanted, but in the end he ended up in the munitions ‘department’ ensuring shells were duds by hitting them with a hammer.
Nope, sorry. The best cartoon ever made was the singing frog.
“Hello my baby, hello my honey…” (Top hat in hand, doing froggy high kicks.)
It don’t get much better than that.

This also brings me to another question. What character combinations were not used in the Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies cartoons?
Like, I don’t remember seeing Sammity Sam with Marvin the Martian.
Duh, I meant Yosemite Sam. And I’ve never seen the Roadrunner with Bugs.
There was one episode in which the entire US armed forces went after Bugs.
Bugs got pissed when he learned that rabbits were worth 2¢. When informed by the War Department that rabbits were harmless, he went on a manic spree which included, among other things, cutting Florida off from the rest of America, (no big loss), and closing the Grand Canyon by joining both sides together, and assaulting a Congresman after he said, “The rabbit must die.”
It not a martian! IT’S A GREMLIN!
I’M SORRY!!!
I NOW KNOW IT IS A GREMLIN!!!
sigh
Get your cartoons straight, willya, guys?
In What’s Opera, Doc? Bugs does NOT DIE. The final shot is Elmer carrying Bugs (who he thinks is dead), and Bugs opening his eyes and speaking to the camera. The tag line is something about operas always ending tragically.
The politico does not say “The rabbit must die.” He says “That hare must die.” Whereupon Bugs pops up and says, “Hare! Die! Hair dye! That’s a joke!” And kissing the senator on the lips.
Oh, and it’s not a martian. It’s a gremlin. 
This link indicates Bugs is dead but still get in a closing remark “Well, what did you expect from an opera, a happy ending?”
OK, I don’t remember the whole cartoon, but I distinctly remember this scene - Bugs giving a construction worker a hard time; the worker swings a girder on a rope at him and catches Bugs dead in the face with it, end on. Ya don’t get many hits against Bugs like that.
To DAVEW0071: Well, excuuse me.
