[Baseball Bugs - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_Bugs) 1946. I love the cameo from the Statue of Liberty. [Duck Amuck - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_Amuck) 1953. This is an all-time classic. [Bugs and Thugs - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugs_and_Thugs) 1954. I hope I have the right one, this should be the one with the Oven Gag. [Rabbit Fire - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_Fire) 1951. Of the Rabbit Season trilogy, this one has the Elephant. [8 Ball Bunny - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_Ball_Bunny) 1950. A little Penguin enlists Bugs into getting him home. Bugs looks up that Penguins come from Antarctica. ANTARCTICA! Along the way, Bogart’s character from _The Treasure of Sierra Madre_ keeps showing up. Finally arriving at Antarctica, the Penguin lifts his hat and shows his card saying he’s from Hoboken. HOBOKEN! Pen-guiiin is practicul-leee Chicken. ---

_Racketeer Rabbit_ with Edward G Robinson and Peter Lorre.: “It’s curtains for you Rocky” “Aww, they’re adorable.” _Slick Hare_ with Humphrey Bogart: “Why did you hit me in the face with a banana cream pie?” _Birds Anonymous_ : I mean c’mon, Mel Blanc won an Oscar. _Hare Trimmed_ : “Oh my, this hasn’t happened to me since the boys got back from Gettysburg!” _Duck Dodgers in the 24th and a Half Century_ : "Happy B-b-birthday, you thing from another world,you! ---

Avoiding duplicates just for the hey of it; just some idiosyncratic choices that I still LOL at no matter how many times I watch them: From Hare to Heir [Sam curses up a storm] Ali Baba Bunny [Daffy at his greediest] Compressed Hare [The entire electromagnet sequence never gets old] Hyde and Go Tweet [aka Tweety’s Revenge] Beanstalk Bunny [The interplay between Bugs and Daffy here was never bettered] ---

Still unmentioned are The Dover Boys The Great Piggy Bank Robbery (Duck Tracy) and Cheese Chasers (“It don’t add up!!”) ---

All of mine have already been mentioned, but that’s OK: - What’s Opera, Doc? - Rabbit of Seville - Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century - 8 Ball Bunny (“Penguins is practically chickens.”) - Bugs and Thugs I also really enjoy the Road Runner shorts, but there’s no one of those which really stand out to me, as they’re usually just a series of similar (though funny) gags. ---

I have a ton of Looney Tune DVDs, yet I’ve only picked my faves to watch. So lately I’m working my way through them all. Watched _Fast and the Furry-ous_ a few days ago (The first Road Runner cartoon). It was great. ---

1. Water, Water, Every Hare (there are two evil scientist/Gossamer the monster ones; this one is when the evil scientist sounds like Vincent Price) 2. Duck Amuck 3. Mouse Wreckers (love Hubie and Bert and their victim Claude) 4. Rabbit of Seville 5. Jumpin’ Jupiter (there are three oblivious Porky/scaredy cat Sylvester toons. This one’s the best) Sheesh, they’re all Chuck Jones 'toons from the golden age of Warner Brothers cartoons. ---

> [@Hermione1](#): > > - What’s Opera, Doc? > - The Rabbit Of Seville > - Duck Amuck > - One Froggy Evening > - Feed The Kitty GET OUT OF MY HEAD. Because that’s my list too. #5 is sort of a tie between Feed the Kitty, The Big Snooze (the one where Bugs sneaks into Elmer’s dream), and Long-Haired Hare (with Giovanni Jones), but I can’t boot the adorable kitten from the list… ---

> [@teelabrown](#): > > Duck Amuck Funny, most people seem to prefer “Duck Amuck,” I get more laughs from its spoof, “Rabbit Rampage.” Seriously, just about the most hilarious cartoon moment for me is when Bugs says to the animator: “Look, my contract clearly states that I am always to be drawn AS A RABBIT!” And he gets re-drawn [looking deranged like this](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/worldofmayhem_gamepedia_en/images/5/5a/Rabbit_Rampage_%28artwork%29.png/revision/latest?cb=20230401173033).
