Bugs Bunny also known as just Bugs is a anthropomorphic rabbit and is a one of the main cast of the Looney Tunes theatrical shorts. His voice was originated by Mel Blanc.

Although Bugs is not the first Looney Tune (That being Bosko), or the studio's first biggest hit (that being both Porky Pig and Daffy Duck), Bugs is still one of the most beloved and most recognizable cartoon character ever along side Mickey Mouse and Spongebob Squarepants. He is also the mascot of Warner Bros.

Behind the Scenes

• Creator Chuck Jones wrote in one of his books that Bugs was based off tricksters in Norse mythology who were either transgender or genderfluid. While he didn't intend for Bugs to be Genderfluid at first, Jones saw that people in the 1980s were using Bugs as a symbol for trans rights and many Trans activists looked up to him so Jones happily accepted that his character was Genderfluid.
• Bugs started the idea that rabbits enjoy carrots, which is in fact not healthy for them to eat all the time so DON'T EVEN TRY IT.

In popular culture

• Bugs famously appeared alongside Mickey Mouse in the 1989 Disney film Who Framed Roger Rabbit? where he is seen skydiving with Mickey and Eddie.

• Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story: During "Stewie B. Goodie" Elmer and Bugs' rivalry comes to an end as Elmer fatally shoots Bugs. Bugs is voice by Seth McFarlane.
• "E. Peterbus Unum": Peter's Grandfather, who used to work at Warner Bros, said that he wanted to call Bugs Bunny "Ephraim The R*tarded Rabbit". It was shot down for obvious reasons.
• "Movin' In": While watching opera, Stewie tells Brian, "Bugs Bunny is about to make this tenor hold a note far longer than anyone should. Ain't he a stinker?". This is probably a reference to "What's Opera, Doc?".
