** In ''Rabbit Romeo'', a [[Abhorrent Admirer|lovesick]] female rabbit keeps pestering Bugs for a kiss. He pulls a goldfish out of a bowl and thrusts it into her face instead.

** Chuck Jones' ''Cheese Chasers'' uses an extended version of this trope and [[Nothing Left to Do But Die]]. Two mice discover that they have eaten every type of cheese there is and decide to commit suicide by cat. Their efforts cause the cat to go mad and try to commit its own suicide by letting a bulldog "massacre" him, driving the dog mad as well. |

** In ''Tortoise Wins By a Hare'', Bugs has made himself a turtle costume so he can beat Cecil Turtle in a rematch race. A group of rabbit gamblers, having bet on Bugs, mistakes him for Cecil (aided by Cecil donning a rabbit costume) and delays him, allowing Cecil to win the race. When Bugs finally makes them realize that '''he''' is the rabbit, they all say "Eh, ''now'' he tells us!" and blow their brains out. |
