They still crack my kids up even though some of them were done 80 years ago.
Outside of a few references that are outdated they still land.

February 2–9 | 45 Shorts

Like many immortal stars, you know who Bugs Bunny is even if you’ve never seen any of his work. His line, “Eh…What’s up, Doc?”, his wise-cracking attitude and his penchant for outsmarting his opponents have made him an indelible figure in the firmament of American entertainment. There was a time when the very Warner Bros. logo wouldn’t spin without Bugs present right beside it. With the exception of Mickey Mouse, no figure has been so synonymous with a studio throughout its lifetime. TCM will spend the first week of February honoring the carrot-chomping icon and how his shorts provide fun reflections of his cinematic and cultural contemporaries, as well as the classics.
quote:
Although an early iteration of Bugs Bunny appeared in “Porky’s Hare Hunt” (1938), the character definitively debuted in Tex Avery’s 1940 short “A Wild Hare,” where he squares off against his future long-time nemesis, hunter Elmer Fudd. Although Bugs would go through a few design refinements over the next decade or so, he emerges almost fully formed in “A Wild Hare,” voiced by Mel Blanc with all of his trickster antics in place and his knack for outsmarting almost any rival. With Elmer Fudd and Bugs’ feud eternally set, the animators at Warner Bros. clearly had a blast finding new and interesting ways to set the two against each other, as you can see with the opera-influenced “Rabbit of Seville” (1950) and “What’s Opera, Doc?” (1957).
quote:
While the opera makes for a clear lead-in for the first night’s Marx Brothers’ classic A Night at the Opera (1935), you can also see the huge influence that Groucho Marx, as well as Clark Gable, had on the character of Bugs Bunny. While Bugs, as a children’s cartoon, could never have Groucho’s signature cigar, the carrot made for a good stand-in (although carrots should only be an occasional treat for rabbits). More importantly, the way Groucho always has a quick comeback and a way of outsmarting those around him is reflected in the way Bugs plays off Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck, Yosemite Sam and others. Although Bugs doesn’t carry over Groucho’s self-deprecation, you can see quite a bit of overlap between the two comic giants.
quote:
Bugs Bunny has always had the flexibility to be a character in conversation with contemporary culture. Sometimes that’s fairly broad, as you can see when Bugs Bunny is at sea and you get a short like “Captain Hareblower” (1954), an adaptation of 1937 literary character Horatio Hornblower, whose first screen adaptation arrived in 1951 with Gregory Peck in the title role. Other times, it’s about sending Bugs into a particular genre like science fiction where he could square off against Marvin the Martian in shorts such as “Haredevil Hare” (1948) and “Hare-way to the Stars” (1958). You could also send Bugs Bunny into the gangster genre, as he goes against Rocky and Mugsy in “Bugs and Thugs” (1954), “Bugsy and Mugsy” (1957) and “The Unmentionables” (1963). .

about damn time
i miss the old “June Bugs” specials they used to run on Cartoon Network back in the day - the 2001 edition was epic, every single short in which he appeared, aired in chronological order - save for the “politically incorrect”ones, of course
RIP June Bugs
ETA: another plug from me for The Looney Tunes Show, CN’s original series from 2011-13 where your favorite Warner Bros stars are set in a contemporary sitcom environment - its far better than it deserves to be

I miss a lot of Cartoon Network stuff that used to play. I could just turn the channel on, and kick back.
Adult swim was great.
June Bugs was great.

Same. Still don’t think I’ve ever heard my kids collectively laugh harder than Bugs vs Yosemite Sam as a pirate.

The Bugs Bunny Yosemite Sam collab runs were always my favorite.

I was a huge fan of baseball as a kid, and seeing the Baseball Bugs toon was just so much fun.

"Rhapsody Rabbit" was released in 1947. That same year, the Tom and Jerry short "Cat Concerto" was released. The two shorts were eerily similar, with a mouse disrupting a piano performance. A lot of the same gags were used in both shorts.
There were a lot of conspiracy theories and accusations, but the evidence seems to point to a big coincidence.
