Sometimes, a gag is so corny, it's actually brilliant. In "Shop Look and Listen" (Friz Freleng, 1940), a group of mice take a tour of a department store. They encounter numerous sight gags, including this painting of "The Last of the Mohicans". | GoldenAgeCartoons.com

Director Friz Freleng introduced an incredibly forgetful Big Bad Wolf character in his 1955 Tweety and Sylvester cartoon, "Red Riding Hoodwinked". Freleng brought the character back three years later to hunt Bugs Bunny (only to keep forgetting exactly what he's hunting) in "Hare-less Wolf" (1958). In this cartoon, the character was named "Charles M. Wolf", after fellow WB cartoon director Charles M. (Chuck) Jones. | GoldenAgeCartoons.com

For no particular reason, here's a bunny on a runaway lawnmower. This was neither the first, nor (obviously) last rabbit character in a Warner Bros. cartoon. In the doldrums of the late 1930's, Friz Freleng experimented briefly with a character loosely based on children's author Beatrix Potter's "Peter Rabbit". From "Country Boy" (Friz Freleng, 1935). | GoldenAgeCartoons.com

"A Kiddie's Kitty" (Friz Freleng, 1955) marked the debut (and only animated appearance) of Suzanne, a little girl who literally loved her toys and pets to death. Suzanne had a brief run in various Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies comic books shortly afterward, in which she was part of a "Peanuts"-like group of kids. Nearly 40 years later, she inspired Elmyra, a similar character in the early 1990's TV series "Tiny Toon Adventures". Public Service Announcement from us, by the way: please keep cats FA

Friz Freleng was as much of a perfectionist as he was economical. If a concept or gag worked especially well, he would unapologetically recycle it somewhere down the road. If he thought he could do something BETTER, he took the opportunity. In this complete cartoon (courtesy of the public domain!) Porky Pig is tormented by a nameless cat who keeps him awake at night by serenading him with loopy renditions of everything from classical opera to jazz to early 20th century pop standards.

"Mexican Boarders" (Friz Freleng, 1962) was one of only two cartoons to feature Speedy Gonzales' cousin, Slowpoke Rodriguez. He also made an appearance on "The Bugs Bunny Show" around the same time. Freleng once stated that he found Slowpoke funnier than Speedy, but he was SO slow that he ate up too much screen time. | GoldenAgeCartoons.com

Friz Freleng really liked to make cartoons about insects. He once drew the ire of Bing Crosby when he caricatured him as a fly in "Bingo Crosbyana" (1936). He often focused on ants, whether they were raiding a picnic ("The Gay Anties" (1947)) or going to war with Elmer Fudd ("Ant Pasted" (1953)). In one early cartoon, "The Lady in Red" (1935), Freleng used cockroaches infesting a Mexican cantina as fodder for musical entertainment, only to have them attacked by a parrot. In retaliation, the bugs

Friz Freleng was a master of recycling gags and plot points, often adapting them to different characters. In "Stooge For a Mouse" (1950), a mouse plays Sylvester and a bulldog against each other, until the two ultimately knock each other senseless, leaving the mouse free to raid the kitchen. In "Bugsy and Mugsy" (1957), Bugs Bunny employs similar tactics on gangsters Rocky and Mugsy. The final gag in each short involves a magnet. Which characters do you think did it better? | GoldenAgeCartoons.c

Well, it's finally surfaced. A clip from the 6th episode of the "Bugs Bunny Show", which originally aired on ABC November 15, 1960. Despite the foreign dubbing, you'll get the idea. Bugs does an impression on guitar of "Frankie doing an imitation of Rickie doing an imitation of Elvis". The segment was likely directed by Friz Freleng. Also included in this video is the use of the same tune (and same recording) in the theatrical Foghorn Leghorn cartoon "Banty Raids" (Robert McKimson, 1963). | Gold
