Line 160:
* Sneezer in ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]''; a cute little toddler mouse who's sneezes produce hurricane-force winds. "Ah-'''TOOOO!'''"

At one point the Eskimo starts to sneeze, and Bugs stifles it just in time... but then sneezes himself, sending the ledge completely vertical and on the brink of plummeting.
** In another Bugs Bunny cartoon ''Knighty Knight Bugs'', the Black
