(Got rid of a couple of duplicate entries.)
Line 2:
* Happened in many Looney Tunes shorts with surprising frequency. See just about any short Bob Clampett directed, for instance.
** Which is why a lot of Looney Tunes cartoons have ended up banned from being shown on American TV, and the shorts that weren't banned were [[Edited for Syndication]], ranging from slight snipping to being gutted and unwatchable.
* Just pause at 1:35 ofin this.the [[Wartime Cartoon]] short [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI9QzNVJK1s&feature=related "Daffy-The Commando"]. If you look closely enough on the upper right, there's a Kaiserhof topless/nude pin-up poster on the wall.
* While producing the ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' shorts for Warner Brothers between the mid-1930s and 1946, the animators at the "Termite Terrace" studio threw in gags that obviously crossed the line, so the [[Media Watchdog|Hays Office]] would let more of their riskier gags into cartoons without being censored. (Presumably because they'd feel they had to give the studio a break sometime.) Some of the extreme jokes actually made it past the censors by mistake. (This makes this [[Older Than Television]].)
** My all-time favorite example: in ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blHmI1iHrJA A Tale Of Two Kitties]'', the two cats (based on [[Abbot and Costello]]) are trying to catch Tweety Pie. OneCatstello is standing at the top of a shaky, rickety ladder, while the otherBabbit is down at the bottom shouting, "Give me the bird! GIVE ME THE BIRD!" (To which the otherCatstello mutters, "If the Hays Office would only let me, I'd 'give him the bird', alright!")
** Another example came from the nature mockumentary ''Unnatural History'', where they showed a film clip of "a beaver damming a river". Just as the beaver finished building the dam, a big chunk of it breaks loose, water starts gushing through ... and the beaver starts jumping up and down, making garbled swear-noises. Dang, why can't I find this on [[YouTube]]?

Line 34:
* "Little Man, You've Had A Busy Day" (''Dog Daze,'' Freleng, 1937).
** A variation of that line is also spoken at the end of ''Wild Wife'' (McKimson, 1954), which has several references to sexism.
* Clampett's "A Tale of Two Kitties":
{{quote|'''Babbit:''' Give me the bird! ''Give me the bird!''
'''Catstello:''' If da Hays Office would only let me, I'd give give 'im da boid, all right! (*whistle*) }}
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlbOahK5BWk Ah-HEM.]
* In "An Itch In Time", Elmer's dog is being bitten in the butt by a flea and runs around the house yelping and dragging his butt on the carpet, moments later the dog pausing and starts panting heavily with a big smile on his face saying "Hey, I'd better cut this out; I might get to like it".
Line 42 ⟶ 39:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZPatWPaF04 This clip from the 1963 Chuck Jones short "I was a Teenage Thumb".]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2qu9zrYCP0 This infamous clip] from the final Bosko Looney Tunes short "Bosko's Picture Show", depending on your own point of view on whether he 'really' said the word or not.
* If you look closely enough on the upper right in one scene, you'll notice that there's a Kaiserhof topless/nude pin-up model in the [[Wartime Cartoon]] short "Daffy-The Commando" during the Schultz/Von Limburger bunker scene in the beginning of the cartoon.
* At the beginning of "Easter Yeggs", Bugs was being interested reading a certain book. The name of the book? "How to Multiply".
** And he closes the book immediately after hearing someone cry.
