Line 62:
* ''[[Little Red Riding Rabbit]]'' is a wartime retelling of the classic nursery story in which Grandma never appears, because she's off working the swing shift at Lockheed.
* ''Daffy The Commando'' had him bamboozling a pair of Nazi soldiers, and culminated in Daffy hitting Hitler over the head with a mallet, upon which Der Fuhrer gave an indignant shout of "SCHULTZ!"
* Characters that fall down or take a long slide often will use the phrase "Was that/Is this trip really necessary?", a common slogan used to encourage the war effort by
** Another instance of this happened in "Nasty Quacks," when Daffy packs up and leaves a man's house, then comes back to tell him that the government doesn't want anyone to do any non-essential traveling—which would have been funny, if not for the fact that by the time the cartoon was theatrically released, the war was over.
* The Bugs Bunny cartoon ''Super-Rabbit'' (a parody of the Fleischer ''[[Superman]]'' cartoons) ends with Bugs going into a phonebooth and changing into "a '''real''' superman" — a Marine. He then promptly marches off to war. The actual [[Semper Fi|United States Marines]] were so flattered by this that they actually made Bugs a Marine. He was eventually promoted to Master Sergeant.
Line 81:
* Similarly, in ''One Meat Brawl'', a groundhog emerges from his hole on Groundhog Day and is immediately fired on by a pack of hunters. Retreating to safety, he blames it on "meat shortages". The cartoon debuted post-WWII (1947), but rationing was sill fresh enough in the public mind to be played as a gag.
* Frank Tashlin's ''Plane Daffy'' stars the duck in a squadron of carrier pigeons. As the resident woman-hater, he's sent out to deliver an important message without being seduced by Nazi spy [[Mata Hari|Hatta Mari]], who's managed to claim 28 of the previous pigeons.
* ''[[Any Bonds Today?]]'' was a 1942 [[Propaganda Piece|propaganda film]] commissioned by the United States Department of the Treasury to Warner Bros., featuring Bugs, Elmer and Porky singing and dancing to promote war bonds. It would later be [[Overshadowed by Controversy]], and is known more for its [[Values Dissonance]] in the form of Bugs Bunny donning blackface.
