All of “The Rabbit of Seville.”

_How about a nice close shave  
Teach your whiskers to behave  
Lots of lather lots of soap  
Please hold still don’t be a dope  
Now we’re ready for the scrapin’  
There’s no use to try escapin’  
Yell and scream and rant and rave  
There’s no use you need a shaave!_

Followed by basically attacking Elmer’s face with a straight razor while Elmer “ouches” and “ows.”

And don’t forget the hair restorer which grows flowers on Elmer’s head, the mud pack that sets like cement, and cutting Elmer’s non-existent hair with a little lawnmower.

(Daffy washes up on an island far in the background.)  
Daffy: (distant) Hey! C’mere…c’mere! Gimme a close-up! A close-up!  
(The screen is cropped 90% black to only show a tiny far-off Daffy.)  
Daffy: This is a close-up?..A CLOSE-UP, YA JERK! A CLOSE-UP!

There are too many to mention, and all the ones here are great, but two as yet unmentioned come to mind:

[“What’s all the hubbub…Bub?”](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_Hare)  
[“SO LONG, METHUSELAH!”](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Old_Grey_Hare)

“My Name Is Elmer J. Fudd, millionaire, I own a mansion and a yacht.”

And not exactly a Bugs Bunny scene, but still my favorite:

“I say that Boy, uh, that boy’s about as sharp as a sack of wet mice.”

> Duck Amuck is a great Bugs Bunny moment for sure, but my personal favorite is in _Fallin’ Hare_, where Bugs Bunny is trying to stop a Gremlin from sabotaging a US Army bomber. The gremlin somehow convinced Bugs to start swinging a mallet at the nose of a blockbuster bomb. Bugs gives it a good windup, swings…

But the best line is just before this when Bugs asks “What’s the hubbub… bub?”

Bahahaha… I love that quote! I’m also fond of “That girl’s like the highway between Dallas and Fort Worth. No Curves.”

(It’s funnier if you’ve looked at a map of Texas)

_Hyde and Hare_.

[![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx3NkEp6xXg)

So much good stuff … Bugs’ timid little rabbit routine, the overall design of Mr. Hyde and his dragging knuckles. The “Minute Waltz” bit at the piano just kills me.
