    In the depths of Chuck's waters

    ...lies a 10/10 classic. Do you recall watching shorts like this? I still do, and so do most of you. This is basically in the woods where Elmer is hunting and threatens Bugs with his "elephant gun" until Daffy comes along and Elmer is too dazed to decide who to shoot and come home with. Simple but effective.

    You're despicable!

    This is a real "classic cartoon", where you're just waiting for the cartoon-figures to say all their famous lines. It's like this short film is set on repeat, and every time you watch it, you'll laugh more, even higher.

    I also think, that the beauty of these short movies is that you don't have to analyze them from top to bottom. Instead just watch it!!!!

    So, If you like short movies, cartoons or you just want to laugh, I can really recommend this.

    And i can only say one more thing,

    THAT IS WHY WE LIKE EM'.

    If this is not one of the best cartoons ever then I'm a mongoose!

    From the whole Bugs/Daffy/Elmer hunting trilogy, this is without a doubt my favorite. Even though "Rabbit Fire" and "Rabbit Seasoning" are very good too, the reason why this one stands out is because it's an awesome combination of the previous two. While "Rabbit Fire" focused more on the visual gags, and "Rabbit Seasoning" more on the word games. This one had both visual jokes ("It's baseball season" LOL!) and word games, like when Daffy writes Elmer's "permit" to hunt rabbits (D-U-C-K). This a true masterpiece from writer Mike Maltese and director Chuck Jones, a definitely must see.

    Daffy Gets The Worst Of It Again

    This is another one of those "It's duck season. No, it's rabbit season." You know, back-and- forth as Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck each try to send stupid Elmer Fudd off to shoot the other guy during hunting season, beginning with signs pointing the way. There were three of these similar-themed animated shorts, one each year from 1951-53. This was the final one of what some call "the hunting trilogy."

    Anyway, as usual, Bugs gives Elmer some ridiculous line which is working until Daffy interrupts, saying "What is this? A cooking class? Shoot him!" Daffy was always one to get right to the point....but Bugs is the brains of the three.

    The parts that made me laugh hardest were the looks on Daffy's face several times, like the kind Jack Benny used to make. It's also incredible how many times the poor duck has hill bill blown off. Daffy's final line to Bugs sums it up best: "You're despicable!"

    Overall, an excellent episode. It can be seen on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume three DVD.

    fricasseeing

    It is Duck season and Daffy Duck is burning all the signs. He is pointing the arrow right to Bugs Bunny's home and Elmer Fudd is following it. Bugs claims to be a fricasseeing rabbit and Elmer does not have a fricasseeing rabbit license. Daffy writes up a license for Elmer, but it's not quite right.

    This is the last of the "Hunting Trilogy". This is not the best in the trio, but it is still plenty good. I love that they keep repeating fricasseeing. I actually don't know what that is other than some cooking terminology. It just sounds funny. Some words are simply fun to say. This cartoon is fun.

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Bugs Bunny stuck out four signs to lead Elmer Fudd to shoot Daffy Duck. (They are all in capital letters.) In order they are: 1st: GOAT SEASON OPEN; 2nd: DIRTY SKUNK SEASON; 3rd: PIGEON SEASON; 4th: MONGOOSE SEASON.
    • Goofs
      Towards the beginning of the feature, Bugs makes it clear that this story takes place in the middle of January. However, at the end, when he comes to Elmer posing as the Game Warden, he tells him it's baseball season; baseball season doesn't begin until April.

      However, Bugs then goes to Daffy and asks him, "What season is it really?", betraying the fact that telling Elmer it was baseball season was just another trick.
    • Quotes

      [Elmer has shot Daffy one too many times]

      Daffy Duck: Shoot me again! I enjoy it! I love the smell of burnt feathers, and gunpowder, and cordite! I'm an elk! Shoot me, go on! It's elk season! I'm a fiddler crab! Why don't you shoot me? It's fiddler crab season!

    • Alternate versions
      In syndicated versions the sequence where Daffy Duck gets his beak repeatedly blown off his face by Elmer Fudd's shotgun at pointblank range has been almost entirely cut out.
