Mine: "Rabbit of Seville", where Bugs torments an opera singer who beat up on him.

11. Rabbit Rampage
Elmer is the animator, and Bugs knows it from the beginning, though the audience doesn't find out till the end. "Heh heh heh, I finawwy got even with that wascawwy wabbit!"

3. "The Ducksters" game show spoof
...also, I really want to see the "Hassan Chop" one again. I really miss Daffy saying "I'm a happy partisan! I'm a wealthy miser!"

4. "Abraca-hocus!"
"pocus-cadabra!" I forget the name of the episode.

Also the one where Bugs forces the hillbillies to kick the shit out of each other by using square dance calls. Apparently that one's now deemed so violent, it's never shown on TV again. I thought it was hilarious.

7. The uncensored Looney Tunes are pretty shocking
I have the DVD set that was released last year. The one where Daffy tries to sell Hollywood his screenplay ("The Scarlet Pumpernickel")has him blowing his brains out at the end. A very early Merry Melody, "Tortoise wins by a Hare", has some gangster rabbits shooting themselves in the head, too. There's one featuring Yosemite Sam and Bugs where Sam accidently lynches himself. Needless to say, these shorts are edited whenever they're shown on TV.

6. I love the one with the singing frog
I don't know the name of it but some guy finds him at a construction site and every time he tries to cash in on it the frog stops singing. It's hilarious.

12. It's sad what ABC did to it
Got rid of the "Free Beer" gag, instead has the crowd stampeding in to "Free Admission." :eyes:

9. Hillbilly Hare.
Where Bugs gets in trouble with a couple of bumpkins. Hilarious.

Whirl whirl twist and twirl
Jump all around like a flying squirrel
Now don't you cuss and don't you swear
Just come out and form a square!

10. Grab a fence post, hold it tight...
Grab a fence post, hold it tight, Womp your partner with all your might. Hit him in the shin, hit him in the head, Hit him again, the critter ain't dead. Wop him low and wop him high, Stick your finger in his eye. Pretty little rhythm, pretty little sound, Bang your heads against the ground.

15. Wackyland
Porky Pig goes an an publicized expedition to Wackyland, in deepest darkest Africa, to bring back the last Dodo.
The animators went nuts with that one. Came up with all sorts of weird things: a guy wandering around with a jail cell bars set, holding them up and saying "I'm innocent I tell ya!"; the rubber band, which was a marching band made up of rubber bands; etc.
