(vanity) Tracking down source cartoon of Bugs Bunny sound clip

Hoping someone can jog my memory... Trying to track down the specific cartoon where Bugs Bunny says "What a maroon! What an ignoranimus!" It sounds like the first few seconds of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxGgnI6kCrs

There are other cartoons where Bugs uses "maroon" or "ultra-maroon," but to the best of my knowledge, this particular combo was used only once. (There's a Tasmanian Devil cartoon where Bugs calls him a maroon and then uses ignoranimus in the next sentence, but that's not this particular quote.)

I have the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, but it's taking me a while to re-watch the entire set. Hoping the collective brain here on FR can help. Google has been of no help pinning down the source cartoon.

PS: It's not the cartoon used as the thumbnail for the Youtube video -- I already checked that one.

That’s the one. Now if only I can find the source cartoon.

Fantastic!

He also says “What an embezzle.” (imbecile)

[NewJerseyJoe]

Different quote and cartoon. That one is from “Bully for Bugs” — great cartoon

[Bikkuri]

wasn’t it the one where he was trying to get to Albuquerque, N.M (where he was tunneling)?

Every time I think of that statement, that cartoon pops in my head, for some reason.

Bugs and Daffy were always my two favorite characters. My favorite cartoon was “Deduce, you say” from 1956 with the Shropshire Slasher. Daffy was Dorlock Holmes, and Porky Pig was Mr. Watkins. Mel Blanc was a National Treasure.

That one is the classic Bully for Bugs.

The "Nin-Cow-Poop" is about 3:47

Those words are in every Bugs Bunny cartoon

[NewJerseyJoe]

Not even close. In fact, “maroon” is used only a handful of times in all the Bugs Bunny cartoons.

[Jane Long]

LOL....one of my faves.

[minnesota_bound]

Are you saying I am a ignoranimus!

[TigersEye]

[AFreeBird]

Bugs said those lines in quite a few episodes.

[Overtaxed]

He misses that left turn in Albuquerque in more than one cartoon.

I finally tracked it down. It's Hare Splitter, at 5:28.

This was so hard to track down because it's not on any of the major Looney Tunes collections (Gold, Platinum). I did see that it's on "Stars of Space Jam" DVD. If I understand correctly, this is one of a handful of shorts that Warner Brothers never remastered for home video.

It would have been easier if we had Mel Blanc around to guide us. :)
