As **DAVEW0071** pointed out Foghorn’s character came from radio as did most of the catchprases on _Looney Tunes_ and _Merry Melodies_. They swiped a lot of lines from radio shows and movies of the 30s and 40s like Lou Costello’s “I’m a bad little boy.” Phrases such as “he don’t know me vewy well, do he” were the equivalent of today’s “drop the chalupa” though possibly less commercial. ---

What are the exact quotes from, IIRC, the King Arthur one where Bugs is Knighting the dude, whacking him on the head with the sword each time? “Arise, Duke of Earl … {WHAP} … Arise, Sir Loin of Beef … {WHAP} …” What were the other titles he “bestowed” on him? ---

My favorite is from the Tazmanian Devil. After Bugs tosses him in a hole and blows him up (or something to that effect), Taz comes back and says : “Whyfore you bury me in the cold, cold ground?” ---

Daffy: “Oh, that’s just dandy. Ha, ha, that’s rich, I’ll say. Now how 'bout some color!” \ “NOT ME YOU SLOP ARTIST!!” Sylvester: “Firtht, I am happy, for I am to marry the fair Meliththa. Then, I am furiouth, for I dethpithe the Thcarlet Puh- Puh- Pumpernickel.” (Now wipe the spit off your monitors.)

(daffy as robin hood, at fencing practice) Ho! Ha-ha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Thrust! Spin! (quarterstaff comes up and knocks his beak into a 90-degree angle) (tries it again) Ho! Ha-ha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Thrust! Spin! (quarterstaff comes up and knocks his beak into a 90-degree angle) (puts down the quarterstaff, tries to make sure he’s got all the words right) Ho, ha-ha, guard, turn, parry, thrust, spin - (his beak springs up into a 90-degree angle of its own accord) ---

**Daffy** , as the mustache bandit, is being chased around the ledge of a skyscraper by **Porky** , and as Porky runs off the edge and is about to fall to his doom, Daffy yanks him back and says, “Awfully sporting of the little black duck, eh?” I fall to pieces every time I see it. As my wife will attest, Daffy is my favorite, but Foghorn Leghorn actually runs a close second. Actually, “Are you a Daffy person or a Bugs person?” would be a pretty decent thread. ---

Do you remember a cartoon that didn’t feature any of the typical characters, but was about a family whose newborn baby got mixed up with an alien baby? The family tries to make the best of it, shrugging off their kids’ super-abilities. Finally the UFO comes back and explains the mix-up. They have the human kid, who they call “Yob” (‘Boy’ backwards, get it?). The reason I bring this up is, the Republican currently running for Congress in my district is named **Chuck Yob**. EVERY SINGLE TIME I see his name I think, “raised by aliens.” ---

(quarterstaff comes up and knocks his beak into a 90-degree angle) I thought it was: “Ho! Ha-ha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha-thrust!”\ And his “thrust” is more of an “clobber over the head” move. It proves irrelevant, though, since Friar Porky uses a twig to disarm him in the middle of the next spin… That’s one of my all-time favorite scenes. ---

Who DOESN’T go through a crowd of people and say: “'scuse me, pardon me, 'scuse me, I beg your pardon, ‘scuse me, comin’ though” Also during a re-telling of Little Red Riding Hood, Bugs meets the wolf who is now dressed in the grandmother’s night gown. Bugs: “Aw, gramma. You’re just a wolf in cheap clothing.” Sly look at the camera. Classic. ---

Milo: If you remember, all of that is a dream that the father is having in the waiting room while his wife is giving birth. The nurse wakes him up and he goes to look in the nursery and the braclet on the baby’s wrist reads “YOB.” As to the other titles bestowed, one of them was “Arise, Quarter to Ten” ---

“How come they got to put the South so far South?” (I bring this one into play every time I have to drive to FL to see relatives). Smokey the Genie: “I’ll tell you what, my furry, little, buck-toothed pal.” Penguins is practically chickens. (Said of Chilly, the only penguin born in captivity in Hoboken, NJ). This is also the cartoon where Bugs keeps meeting Humphrey Bogart ala Treasure of the Sierra Madre (“Pardon me, but could you help out a fellow American whose down on his luck?” Bugs digs in his pocket, flips a dime and says, “Hit the road.”). ---

Mr. Cynical–it’s Pete Puma. Let’s see, what other open questions. The flying saucer baby toon is “Rocket-Bye Baby” (1956). Yes, it was a dream, but the kicker at the end showed the human baby wearing a “YOB” bracelet in the maternity ward. I tried to find the other titles from “Rabbit Hood”, but all I can remember is “Sir Milk of Magnesia” and “Sir Cab of Calloway.” ---

Dog: Have you got a labrador? Porky: N-n-n-no Dog: If you haven’t got a labrador, how can I retrieve it for you? Or something like that, I haven’t seen it in a long time.
