- Cult Classic: Gained a following among early 2000s kids and Looney Tunes fans.
- Genius Bonus: During the Louvre chase scene, one of the songs playing in the background is a movement from Pictures at an Exhibition.
- Ham and Cheese: Steve Martin. Dear Lord, Steve Martin.
- Ho Yay: Whether or not Bugs is really that depressed without Daffy, he certainly goes to pretty great lengths to get him back. His less-than-family-friendly humor is also lampshaded by the female executive:

Kate Houghton: Okay, about the crossdressing thing: then, funny; now, disturbing. |
 |
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Surprisingly little is done with the Blue Monkey's magical power of turning people into monkeys. At least in the finished film. The DVD special features give us an alternate climax where the Blue Monkey's powers are used to create some truly wild and over-the-top situations.
- Daffy crashes the Batmobile into the studio water tower, causing it to topple down... and somehow, Yakko, Wakko and Dot don't come spilling out of it.
- And Ralph the Guard would come chasing them.

Ralph: Thanks a lot, Drake! |
