I’ve seen snippets of that reel, and it’s great. Mostly blown lines, and it’s somehow startling to see black & white 1930’s vintage Hollywood stars saying “Goddammit!” over and over.
JSC1953, hi. Welcome to the board.
I’ve never seen that movie, I’ll have to check it out.
A word of advice. Careful who you are quoting. That was my original quote. I only point this out because I was completely off the mark. It wasn’t a lion, it was a dog. Review the thread if you wish.
I’m just trying to save you some grief if Rilchiam happens to pipe in and say, “Hey, I didn’t say that, it was that idiot Jack Batty.”
Have fun. And thanks for the movie tip.
“Abracadabra, I’m a vampire.”
“Abracadabra, I’m an umpire.”
“Hocus-pocus, I’m a bat.”
“Hocus-pocus, I’m a bat, too.” (baseball bat)
“You woudn’t hit a bat with glasses, would you?” (whack; bat falls under stone) “Abracadabra.” (picks up stone)
“Hocus-pocus.” (stone lands on bat)
“Abracadabra.” (picks up stone)
“Hocus-pocus.” (stone lands on bat)
“Abraca-pocus. Hocuscadabra. Newport News. Hmm, I can do better than that. Walla-Walla Washington! (vampire turns into two-headed vulture, Bugs calls to the female vulture outside) Oh, goils!”
BTW: Mel once was in a bad accident and didn’t look like he was going to pull through. In the hospital, Mel hardly responded to anything until someone thought to ask Bugs how he is!
I do this kind of thing to him all through the picture.
Gruesome, isn’t it?
Gee, ain’t I a stinker?
What’s all the hubbub, bub?
The rabbits are coming, hooray, hooray!
Which way did he go, George, which way did he go?
Agony! AAA-go-neee!
Didja ever get the feelin’ you wuz bein’ watched?
Think fast, rabbit.
I’ll do it, but I’ll probably hate myself in the morning.
Oh, you and your old gun, you crazy!
So long, screwy, see you in St. Louie!
And don’t think it hasn’t been a little piece of heaven –
because it hasn’t!
What’s the hassle, schmassle?
…And finally, from Bugs’ first appearance, before he was even named:
Tsktsktsk. Too bad…
Do you have dizzy spells? Do you see spots before your eyes?
Do your ears ring? Are you subject to fits?
So am I! Maybe that’s what’s the matter with me! (laughs)
and
Thirty days! Hath September, April, June and Montana! All the rest have cold weather, except in the summer, which isn’t often!
My brother recently became a first-time father, and named his son “Jack” (not John, Jack). Which spontaneously prompted this exchange among bro and me:
“He’s Jack.”
“It’s a lie!! My name is…Aloysius!! He’s Jack. Jack Rabbit!”
“Your name is Jack, and you know it, because it is a fact.”
One more for the road:
“Sweet spirits of camphor, can’t a man get any sustenance around here? Now go AWAY!”
Hey! I used to have that one on an album as a kid. Let me see if I can remember it:
*What’s up Doc?
What’s cookin’?
What’s up Doc?
Are ya’ lookin’
For Bugs the Bunny;
Elmer’s gone a-hunting;
Just when he has cornered him,
Whoops! The rabbit’s gone again!
What’s up Doc?
What’s cookin’?
HEY! LOOK OUT! STOP!
You’re gonna HURT someone
With that old shotgun!
Eh, what’s up, Doc?
[in unison:]
We really mean it…
WHAT’S…UP…DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOC!!!*
Thank you. Thank you. I’ll be here all week! Please remember to tip your waitresses!
By the by, I don’t think that song was part of any short. I think it was part of the Saturday morning pseudo-Vaudeville show that incorporated a lot of the shorts. Remember the opening number:
Overture!
Cut the lights!
This is it!
We’ll hit the hights!
And oh what hights we’ll hit!
On with the show! This is it!
No, that is most definately from a short. To be specific, it’s from What’s Up, Doc? and is featured at the very end of the movie “What’s Up, Doc?” which stars Ryan O’Neal & Barbara Streisand.
OK, let’s get this straight. The song is originally from a cartoon; the cartoon is also featured at the end of the Streisand movie. I think the cartoon is also entitled “What’s Up Doc”, to further confuse matters. But it’s the one where Bugs tells his life story…how he started in the chorus (Oh, we are the boys in the chorus/we hope you like our show/we know you’re rootin’ for us/but now we have to goooo), and proceeds to his vaudeville act with Elmer Fudd (hey, pinhead–what’s high in the middle, and round on both ends? Ohio! O-Hi-O! Geddit??) Elmer and Bugs then sing the song.
Along with Bugs’ “What an ignoramus! What a maroon!”, didn’t he once say “What a ta-ra-ra-goon-de-ay!”?
I think Sir Ossis of Liver was one of the knights from the King Arthur cartoon.
“Say your prayers, varmint!”
“I smell the blood of an English wabbit.”
"You’re not a chicken! You’re a loud mouthed schnook!
“Le mew, le mew, le meow, le purr.”
“Oh, Father! The shame of it all!”
“Well whaddaya know? Wan outta piddies!”
“Arriba! Arriba! Andale! Andale!”
