Seeing that it is Easter weekend what better way to celebrate then by posting the short Easter Yeggs. This short was originally released on June 28, 1947. The title is a play on "Easter eggs" and on "yegg", a slang term for a burglar or safecracker.

This was the 500th cartoon short released by Warner Bros.: they would release exactly 500 more after this.

The cartoon starts out with Bugs finding the "Easter Rabbit" sitting on a rock crying. I'm not sure why he is called the "Easter Rabbit" instead of the "Easter Bunny" but the name doesn't change throughout the entire short. This is one of those times were Bugs good nature gets him suckered into something he ends up not wanting to do.

The Easter Rabbit takes advantage of Bugs and suckers him into delivering Easter eggs because his feet are sore. In reality the Easter Rabbit does this sort of thing every year so he doesn't have to deliver the eggs.

The first house the bugs visits belongs to the dead end kid, a mean little red-haired kid who throws an egg at Bugs' face, bites him in the leg and beats Bugs up before body slamming him on the floor. Bugs loses his cool and grabs the kid's arm. Unfortunately, Dead End Kid screams and three huge thugs rush in on Bugs while aiming guns at him. Bugs barely escapes the hail of bullets. When Bugs rushes back to the Easter Bunny telling him he quits, the Easter Bunny gets him to "try once more".

From there, Bugs pays a visit to Elmer Fudd and the cartoon turns to the usual Bugs/Elmer antics. I can honestly say I can't remember Elmer's face turning a bright a red as it does in this cartoon when Bugs does something to make him mad. He looks like juicy red tomato.

Anyway enjoy the short and Happy Easter to all! 

Quack Shot

Quack Shot was released on October 30th 1954 and features Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd in a dispute over Elmer hunting ducks and Daffy trying to prevent him from doing so. Elmer Fudd had many classic battles with Bugs Bunny but with that being said he also had his share of battles with Daffy Duck. The only difference is Daffy tricks usually ended up back firing on him were as Bugs was usually successful in his attempts to frustrate Elmer in his hunting adventures.

Quack Shot opens with Elmer Fudd duck hunting at a lake when he shoots a young duckling which falls into his boat. As Elmer examines it, Daffy Duck pops out of the water and grabs the duckling from Elmer. Daffy then bandages the duckling and places it into the lake. Daffy then warns Elmer "If you sthhoot one more duck, justht one more duck, you will be in trouble!!" Elmer then proceeds to shoot Daffy at point-blank range, which removes Daffy's scalp.
