What's Up, Doc?

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!"

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

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...

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

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? ;)
