The “Full” Bugs Bunny
All-star Warner Bros. animator/director/producer Friz Freleng died twelve years ago at the age of 89, and I’m guessing he did so with a smile on his face. I’d be smiling too if I carried around a filthy little secret for over half a century.
In 1942, Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd co-starred in a short cartoon called The Wabbit Who Came To Supper. It’s your typical Bugs Bunny joint, but the plot is completely irrelevant for our purposes here considering that the funniest joke in the whole cartoon (and quite possibly the funniest joke in the entire Bugs Bunny oeuvre) lasts only a fraction of a second, maybe 5 or 6 frames, tops.
Fast forward until there’s about 5:10 remaining (aka about 2:50 into the video) and keep your eye on the top of the towel when Bugs gets out of the shower.
Did you see that? Pull it back and try it again. You saw it that time, didn’t you? Hey, are okay? You look a little pale. You’re feeling dizzy? Here - sit down and let me get you some water. Oh, Jesus! Wake up!
You’re probably wondering what just happened. You know - right before you passed out? Let me give you a hint:
You just saw Bugs Bunny’s dick.
You’ve gotta wonder how in the name of God this happened. Was it an animator’s office gag that somehow slipped through the cracks, or a maniacal plot to subliminally warp the minds of children across America?
Another fairly important question: Is that really Bugs Bunny’s dick? It sure looks like it to me. Snopes.com is eerily silent on the subject. Thoughts, anyone?

That is not a dick sir. It is the back of the towel showing between Mr. Bunny’s legs. The arch of his crotch forms what psychologists call a “phantom cock.” You clearly don’t have enough experience with dicks. And for your edification, Friz Freeling died in regret and sorrow.

What’s next, Swaim? Gonna go rip the beards off of some mall Santas in front of a bunch of kids? Maybe tell them that the Tooth Fairy doesn’t exist while you’re at it?

MwaHAHAHA! And just like that, your chance to write for this blog has been dashed to the stony ground! Who’s next?!

If you really want some laughs, look at any pictures and calendars in the back screens of the old Warner Brothers cartoons. There’s often a pin-up in them. Possibly the best example of this is in ‘Bugs Bunny and the Three Bears’, where there’s a nude woman bathing in a river on the calendar by the table.

Ha! I even went to the DVD (Volume 3 Disk 1) and it seemed you were right! However sad as it is to say, when going through frame by frame you can clearly see that it is in fact the back of the towel between the V of his legs. =)

Naw I’m pretty sure its not the towel between his legs since actually extends beyond the white oval that makes up his stomach. It definitely reaches out beyond the v of his legs. Horrible
