This time it's Freleng and... damn, Ive forgottten who wrote this, but it wasn't Maltese or Pierce. Set up usual situation: Bugs goes head to head with someone, on a slender pretense (as usual, Bugs manages to emerge from a fresh hole in the wrong place at the wrong time.)
This time the problem is Yosemite Sam is running for Mayor, partly on a platform of ridding the place of rabbits (which is a change from the economy or terrorism, I suppose).
I guess my main problem here is I could see most of the gags coming a mile off - particularly the piano one. I do agree with Inkwolf - I'd like to know who the chick in the other room was who blew Sam's head off. It sorta doesn't make sense, because if it WASN'T Bugs, then it was just a happy coinicdence which was out of Bugs' control (unusual). It could have been yet another excuse for Bugs to get into drag (and never mind how he magically gets into the other room: after all, in 'Long-Haired Hare' he manages to receive a parcel beforer anyone's collected the letter where he orders it), but then how did he know Sam's old girlfriend's name or where she was from?
I'm afraid this one falls a bit short for me, though. I know I sound like a stuck record, but Warner basically had one main plot and just hammered it into the ground for twenty years, so I end up looking for some flourishes which go beyond the norm, and there aren't enough of them here for me. Still worth watching, but I don't know how someone could sit down and watch two hours of Bugs shorts.
