* [[Lazy Artist]]: It's extremely rare, but it's quite noticeable when it happens. Two occur in 1943's "Porky Pig's Feat": As Daffy issues a challenge to the hotel manager, a cel of Daffy is photographed painted side up in a frame (The redrawn version even renders that errant cel drawing!). At the end when Porky and Daffy discover Bugs Bunny in the adjacent room, Daffy's left arm is shown unpainted. |

** Lampshaded in "Invasion Of The Bunny Snatchers" (1992). Pod carrots from space replace Daffy, Yosemite Sam and Elmer with poorly drawn and animated duplicates. |

** The opening jingle of "Stage Door Cartoon" was recycled in numerous late 40s/early 50s shorts as the theme for Bugs Bunny (and was later used as the tune for "What's Up Doc?"). |

** Carl Stalling had a tendency to associate tunes with specific characters. Foghorn Leghorn sings or hums "The Camptown Races" in numerous shorts. |

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: This is pretty much Elmer Fudd's reaction whenever he ''thinks'' he's finally killed Bugs. No matter how hard he's been trying throughout the episode to shoot Bugs he always breaks down in tears when he thinks he's finally done it, calling himself a murderer. Which calls into question why he's a hunter in the first place. |

** In ''Hare-Um Scare-Um'' (1939), hunter John Sourpuss tells proto-Bugs Bunny that "I can whip you and your whole family!" A bunch of bunnies arrive to take him up on the challenge—then the film cuts off. In the original ending, the looney rabbits beat Sourpuss up on-camera, eventually driving him looney himself. Though no hard evidence has been found, it's often speculated that the scene was deleted for being too similar to the ending of ''Daffy Duck And Egghead'' one year prior. |

** "Ride Him, Bosko!" is probably the standout example; [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|the animators]] just [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|up and leave]] without showing if Bosko rescues Honey or not. |

** Used as a gag in "Rabbit Punch". A train shows up to run over Bugs (in a boxing ring, might we add). The film suddenly cuts off, and Bugs stands up and announces the cartoon can't continue....followed by him revealing a pair of scissors. |

* [[No Guy Wants to Be Chased]]: Is used quite often whenever a female [[Abhorrent Admirer]] goes after one of the male characters. Was also used in three Pepé Le Pew cartoons (1949's "For Scent-imental Reasons," 1952's "Little Beau Pepé ," and 1959's "Really Scent"), proving to modern audiences that, yeah, Pepé may be seen as a "rapist," but he's not a [[Karma Houdini]] (in those instances at least). |
