Line 29:
*** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Didn't Warner Bros. use to make cartoon shorts in that style?
* [[Ash Face]]: Appears briefly in the opening remake of "Rabbit Fire".
* [[Aside Glance]]: Many characters do this when the ridiculousness of their situation is just too much to handle. Like when a Wal-Mart mirage shows up and they [[Lampshade]] [[Product Placement]]
* [[Basement Dweller]]: According to Warner Bros. executives, Daffy's entire fanbase is made up of these. [[Unpopular Popular Character|Never mind that he was the one who]] [[Duck Dodgers|got his own series later]], [[Hilarious in Hindsight|not Bugs]].
* [[Big Bad]]: Mr. Chairman.
Line 36:
* [[Cameo]]: Numerous, occasionally pitting celebrities playing themselves.
* [[Celebrity Paradox]]: See Art Shift above. Also, as stated above: DJ Drake, played by Brendan Fraser, punches... Brendan Fraser.
** In an [[Animate Actors]] kind of way, this trope also applies to the Looney Tunes themselves. Bugs, Daffy, Elmer, Porky, Speedy and several others are depicted as actors who did star in their real-life shorts, but Tweety, Sylvester, Taz, Yosemite Sam, Marvin and several others are just depicted as people who hase seemingly no connection to the Warner Bros. studio.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: {{spoiler|Daffy's bill detaching from his face.}}
* [[Cool Car]]: The Spy-mobile
Line 59:
'''Mook 1:''' But innocent people could be hurt...
'''Sam:''' THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW!
'''Mook 2:''' [[Think of the Children|It'll send the wrong message to children!]]
'''Sam:''' '''THROW IT OU-''' *explosion* '''OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!''' }}
* [[Executive Meddling]]: Reportedly, a ''lot''. Tons of scenes that were in the middle of animation were cut by the producers. Not to mention the lousy marketing.
** Also given several [[Take That]] moments in the movie.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: Elmer revealing his employment with Acme is almost certainly an excuse for him describe himself as "secwetwy eviw".
* [[Face Palm]]: Daffy: "You know, I'm beginning to think that ''this'' one is the spy car!" * Bugs facepalms*
* [[Fake-Out Opening]]: The film starts like with a homage to the ''[[Duck Season! Rabbit Season!]]'' trilogy, only to reveal that it's Daffy reading his script, spouting his frustration of the formula of "Daffy gets blasted."
** The deleted scenes had a ''very'' different opening for the film, which features Daffy as a superhero fighting an evil Elmer Fudd and his organ operated robot-thingy (a [[Crazy Awesome]] opening not so different from ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 3'')--only to reveal that it's Daffy trying to pitch a film idea, with the Warner Bros. complaining that he killed Elmer in the end.
*** To be fair, Elmer wasn't too happy about it either.
* [[Five-Bad Band]]: Acme Corporation
Line 126:
** There is also a couple of [[Doctor Who|Daleks]] in {{spoiler|Area 52}}.
* [[Shown Their Work]]: When Elmer confronts the heroes at gunpoint, Bugs asks, "What gives, Doc? We made 35 pictures together!" If you count ''only'' the theatrical shorts (not any made-for TV shorts such as "Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers"), 35 is the amount of cartoons Bugs and Elmer appeared in together.
* [[Single-Minded Twins]]: Don and Dan Stanton show up as "Mr. Warner" and "Mr. Warner's Brother". Joe Dante fans might remember them as the grown-up versions of Ernest and Bertram Wilson from ''[[Eerie, Indiana]]''.
* [[Slapstick]]
* [[Split-Screen Phone Call]]: Bugs and Daffy do this when Bugs has plans to help Daffy get his job back. And they even push the split-screen line back and forth, into one another!
Line 155:
* [[Wrong Turn At Albuquerque]]: Lampshaded.
{{quote|'''Daffy:''' "Don't start that again!"}}
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Mr. Chairman has Taz eat one of the VPs for questioning him. Also, a [[Deleted Scene]] reveals the reason why the VPs had to press their buzzers before speaking up.
{{quote|'''VP:''' Is that a rhetorical question?
'''Chairman:''' ''[grins evilly]'' Oh goody. You forgot to press your buzzer.
