What is also kind of interesting is finding out that the Bugs Bunny cartoons I grew up watching were in some cases cut or censored for TV viewing (myself having been born in 1970 and grew up watching the Bugs Bunny/Roadrunner Hour on Saturday mornings back in the day). As an example, I recall reading about how the Giovanni Jones one had a scene in which Bugs, dressed up as a bobbysoxer, asked for an autograph and gave Jones a stick of TNT disguised as a pen. Did not see this until watching a full, uncensored version of this cartoon on You Tube a few years back.
And Blazing Saddles had a reference to that schtick.
