What's Up, Doc?

[filkertom]

The Warner Bros. cartoon "A Wild Hare", directed by Tex Avery, was released today in 1940. This was the first meeting of Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny, and in many ways it was really the first Bugs cartoon.

We could spend all week listing favorite Warner Bros. cartoons, so let's refine it just a bit: What are some of your favorite lines, or exchanges? (We will assume that the entire canon of "Rabbit Season! Duck Season!" is in there, to save space.) I could go on for hours myself; let's try five six seven:

• "Yoiks! And away! [WHOM] ... Yoiks! And away! [WHOM] ... yoiks [WHOM] yoiks [WHOM] yoi[WHOM] yoik[WHOM]...."
• "... No, I'd better not look. I just might be in there."
• "I may be a craven little coward... but I'm a greeeeeeeedy craven little coward!"
• "Dere! You're nice and clean! Although your face... looks... like it... may have... gone through... a... ma... chine."
• "Oh, Bwunhiwda, you'we so wovewy!" "Yes, I know it! I can't help it!" "Oh, Bwunhiwda, be-he my wuuuuv!"
• "'Wile E. Coyote: Super Genius'. I like the way that rolls out. 'Wile E. Coyote: Super Genius'!
• "The Eludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator! That creature has stolen the Space Modulator! Delays, delays!"

Ho! Ha ha! Guard! Turn! Perry! Dodge! Spin! Ha! Thrust! [whack!]

I specifically wrote that into "The Sinister Sixty Strike", just to see who'd get it. No one has, that I know of.

I got it! >:D

So did I, but I grew up on Looney Tunes. I find it sad that current day kids are not getting as much exposure to classic Looney Tunes, but I guess that's the way of it...

"How jolly can ya get?"

I heard it and immediately thought of the duck. I expect nothing less from your glorious goofiness, Tom

[twfarlan.livejournal.com]

Tom, you're kidding, right? You think we didn't catch it? :) The android phasing him out of existence just where the "whack" from the quarterstaff would have gone? ;)

I got it and laughed my ass off! I point it out to everyone that listens to it

[scifantasy.livejournal.com]

I got it, too, I just didn't see need to comment. Mystic Forces, guide my hand, indeed.

[batyatoon]

Of COURSE we got it!

"Hmmm .... let'th thee ... thomething amithth here..."

Touche! Oy vey! Cafe au lait! Champs Elysees!

"So what's to know?"

"First, I am happy, for I am to wed the fair Mellitha. Then, I am furiouth, for I dethpithe the Thcarlet p- P- Pumpernickle!"

[eibii.livejournal.com]

Oh, the times that I quoted that in fencing class, and just got looked at funny. ♥

[batyatoon]

You too? :D

That was my favorite standby, second only to "You are using Bonetti's Defense against me, ah?"

[eibii.livejournal.com]

Yes! You, too? Eeee~.

"I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain." I think I ended up re-enacting Inigo vs. Count Rugen more often, we were all a bunch of gleeful kidlets in the know, it seemed. *happysigh*

[batyatoon]

*grins* I actually won a match once by using the Bonetti's Defense line out loud. My opponent just stared, and then started laughing, and I got right past her guard.

:D

"Actually, it's a buck-and-a-quarter quarterstaff, but I'm not going to tell *him* that."
