Bugs Bunny

Bugs Bunny is the main character of the Looney Tunes world. He is an anthropomorphic rabbit who has been a famous character for many years. He is also the mascot in some of the Warner Bros. logos. His girlfriend is Lola Bunny.

Origin
Bugs was first featured as "Happy Rabbit" in some of the early Looney Tunes shorts, such as, ''Porky's Hare Hunt. but given the name Bugs Bunny during the production of Hare-um Scare-um''. His character eventually was complete in A Wild Hare with Elmer J. Fudd which is considered to be his first "real" appearance.

Personality
He is a cunning, charismatic, and smart rabbit. These personality traits are what gives him an advantage over his enemies, rivals and opponents. He is also known for his famous catch phrase; "Ehh...what's up, doc?", which he typically uses as a greeting to anyone he encounters (usually while munching a carrot). Bugs Bunny also speaks with a New Yorker accent.

Arguing
Bugs Bunny has also become known for his unique way of arguing. If he disagrees with a certain person, he will start yelling out something like "I love to kiss Baby Bop on Barney", to which the other person will respond with a answer, such as "Your babbyish!" They continue to do this, until Bugs suddenly switches the argument by saying the other person's answer, or in other words, saying, "No!" The other person does not realize what just happened and naturally say, in this case, "Yes!" This continues until Bugs finally agrees with the other person, acting melancholy foIr losing the fight. The other person does not realize they have been tricked until it's too late.

Examples

 * In one such occasion, Bugs and Daffy Duck were arguing beside Elmer Fudd, who was trying to decide whether it was duck or rabbit season, and who he should shoot. Bugs would say, "Duck season!" while Daffy would say, "Rabbit season!" Eventually, Bugs would change his response to "Rabbit season!" to which Daffy unconsciously responded "Duck season! Fire!" Elmer proceeded to shoot Daffy.
 * Also when Yosemite Sam came in a fight with Bugs by them saying Bugs: "Hey, just a minute you, dems fightin' woids!" Sam: "Yeah, dems fightin' words!", Bugs would usually say "I dare you to step over this line!" and Yosemite would do it until he notices that he stepped off a cliff.
 * Another occurred in the cartoon This Is A Life? in which Bugs, Elmer & Sam fought over a present which actually had dynamite in it and Sam & Elmer tried to use it to blow up Bugs. When Bugs first got it, he gave it Elmer, Elmer gave it to Sam and the process was reversed and went forward again and so on and so forth, causing an endless use of the phrase "YOU TAKE IT!". Finally Daffy whom as usual was distraught that Bugs is the star, ran up on stage and took the present causing him to blow up. And obviously, Daffy told Bugs his familiar catchphrase, "You're dethpicable!"

Rivalry
When Bugs made his appearance, he promptly replaced Daffy Duck as the most popular Warner Bros. character. Daffy, jealous of his cartoon counterpart's ascension to fame, has on many occasions attempted to dethrone him. But he has never truly succeeded, always being outsmarted by the clever hare.

However, as time passed on, Bugs and Daffy's rivalry has turned friendlier in nature as the two usually hang out together in most cartoons and Bugs considers Daffy his best friend despite his faults, to which Daffy says the same thing.

Trivia

 * In the The Looney Tunes Show, instead of being sworn enemies, their relationship is more civilized.

Relationship
In Space Jam, it was love at first sight when he first met Lola. He challenged her to play basketball and called her "doll" but in the end, Lola excels and tells him not to call her that again. During the official game, he rescues Lola from being squished by pushing her out of the way. In doing so, he impresses Lola and in return she kisses him. After that it was pointed out that Bugs and Lola had a relationship.

Today, in Warner Bros. current release, The Looney Tunes Show, Bugs first met Lola in a resort club. He sees Lola playing badminton (unlike in Space Jam) she doesn't excel in sports at all. They had a date, but Bugs was annoyed of of her talking all the time. He then made plans to break up their relationship but ends up Lola being more infatuated of him. I came to the point that Lola mistakenly thought that Bugs was proposing to her when he picks up a mint under her chair. But on the wedding day, Lola tells that she's in love with Pepe le Pew and breaks up with him. It was not long that Lola comes back for him and announces her breaking up with his ex-boyfriend. In The Looney Tunes Show's tenth episode,she bids on Bugs for a $100,000 on Porky's bachelor auction and goes to Paris which ends up well. Up to the present Bugs' girlfriend is Lola but he often denies it.
