Pretty simple, what are your favorite Bugs scenes? I have two off the top of my head. Bugs is held by mobsters. He pretends that the cops are there: _Hide me, hide me… Hide me too, hide me too… Would I throw a lighted match if my friend … You might rabbit, you might…_ I still will sometimes say: _You might, rabbit, you might_, when someone says: Would I do xxxx… The other one is the abominable snow man. _I will name him George and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him._ When I’m feeling silly and my dog is jumping all over me I’ll say something like: _I will hug her and squeeze her and call her George._ She will even sometimes to George. ---

Several of my all-time favorites are musical numbers: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQQGSsI87kA) “Hit him again, that Critter ain’t dead…” And if your musical tastes are a bit more highbrow… [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/j97EJQ1z7nY/hqdefault.jpg "Bugs Bunny makes fruit salad on elmer fudds head") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j97EJQ1z7nY) (I love the deadpan expression on Bugs’ face.) ---

“Monsters must lead such IN-teresting lives!” “Pick up pie!” For one of my son’s piano recitals, he played an arrangement of “The Pilgrim’s Chorus” from _Tannhauser_. I drove him crazy by singing “Oh, Bwunhilda, you’re so wuv-wey!” whenever he got to that part. ---

My fave scene has no dialogue. The scene in the bullfight where Bugs lays out some grease that leaves the bull flying through the air, first over a brush filled with glue that paints its chest and stomach, then over large piece of sandpaper that adheres to the glue, then over a match which the sandpaper strikes, igniting it, and igniting a trail of gunpowder that reaches a pile of dynamite … just as the bull is sailing over it. The bull’s expressions are wonderful in this scene. ---

> [@freckafree](#): > > “Monsters must lead such IN-teresting lives!” That is my favourite as well. “You monsters are such interesting creatures!

Too many to mention - I love all the ones you’ve named. I’ll add: “a-HA! Pronoun trouble!..” “You’re so _next_!” …and put in a plug for the DVD Looney Tunes Golden Collections - watch them with my kids all the time…nice to see how easily the material still works on kids. ---

I love a bunch, including many already posted, but there’s one I can picture in my head but forget the context or even who the other character in the scene is. The other character (Elmer?) shakes his head vigorously, Bugs shakes his questioningly, Elmer (?) shakes his head again and then Bugs nods his head with such a smile it is hilarious and then does something horribly funny to Elmer. I wish I can remember more but I can see Bugs nodding and even now I am laughing. Some others: “Pismo beach and all the clams we can eat!” “South America, take her away!” “Briker Bracker, Fire Cracker, Ziss Boom Bah, Bugs Bunny, Bugs Bunny Rah Rah Rah!!!” I’ll stop before my edit window closes but there are a bunch. love Bugs! ---

Operation Rabbit From that famous opening line of, “Allow me to introduce myself: Wile E. Coyote, Genius.” I was hooked. > **[Paramount Network](https://www.paramountnetwork.com/)** > > Television's destination for premium entertainment and storytelling, with original scripted and non-scripted series.

That cartoon also shows how good Bugs is at playing the straight man to the antics of Daffy or the demonstrations of temper by Yosemite Sam-thinking of course of him having to deal with Daffy’s compulsive greed throughout the entire cartoon, specifically the final scene with the pearl: “It’s minemineallmine! Gogogomineminemine! I’mahappymiser!” The droll “Oh brother. Close Sesame…” line that Bugs delivers next is absolutely priceless. ---

The first half of Hare-way to the Stars is pure gold. Starting out with a (hungover?) Bugs regretting his night: “I’ll never mix radish juice and carrot juice again…”, but the best part is when he finally realizes he’s on a rocket: “No wonder I’m so slee-” (noticing Earth zooming away from him, is struck almost speechless) “-pey?” (the last syllable just floors me) IIRC, I think Bugs beat that French-Canadian guy (Blacque Jacque Shellacque?) with the one-card 21, but I could be wrong. ---
