History WesternAnimation / HerrMeetsHare

* FatComicRelief: In an example very much overlapping with FatBastard, Göring is depicted as a bumbling twit and Bugs refers to him as "chubby", while the Walter Kronkite-esque radio host calls him "Fatso Göring".

* WarTimeCartoon: The only one from that era where Göring is a direct target throughout most of the picture as opposed to Hitler. He does show up in other cartoons from the 1940s, but usually in cameo roles.

"Herr Meets Hare" is a 1945 WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes WarTimeCartoon directed by Creator/FrizFreleng. It features WesternAnimation/BugsBunny outwitting UsefulNotes/{{Nazi|Germany}} figure Hermann Göring and meeting UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler in a final showdown. This would also be the last wartime propaganda cartoon released by Warners' animation department. Only four months after its release, Nazi Germany surrendered. It was allegedly shown to German prisoners of war, who didn't like it.

* AdolfHitlarious: Hitler is a comedic relief character in this cartoon. Bugs also dresses up as him.

* {{Brawnhilda}}: Bugs disguises himself as a [[Music/RichardWagner Wagnerian voluptuous German woman]]. This scene would later be retooled and re-used again in ''WesternAnimation/WhatsOperaDoc'' (it helps that Michael Maltese wrote for both this cartoon and the latter). Even Göring is dressed in a similar Siegfried outfit as Elmer Fudd would in that cartoon. The main difference is in the design and the conclusion. In "Herr Meets Hare" Bugs just throws away his disguise after fooling Göring while in "What's Opera Doc?" Bugs' wig unknowingly falls off.

* FatComicRelief: Göring is depicted as a bumbling twit and Bugs even refers to him as "chubby".

-->'''Bugs''': Joimany?! YIPE!!

* AllGermansAreNazis: All Germans are Nazis in this cartoon.

* NationalStereotypes: All action takes place in the Black Forest in Germany. Göring goes hunting in lederhosen. When Bugs dresses up as Stalin we hear the Russian folk song "Song Of The Volga Boatmen" resound.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Bugs Bunny tricks Hermann Göring and Adolf Hitler. Near the end he dresses himself up as UsefulNotes/JosefStalin.

* PropagandaMachine: This is a straight out US propaganda cartoon.

** When Göring kisses Bugs hand he says: "I kiss right in der Führer's face", a reference to ''WesternAnimation/DerFuehrersFace'' and the Music/SpikeJones song.

** That Bugs disguises himself as UsefulNotes/JosefStalin rather points to an [[AvertedTrope aversion]] of the trope to some extent.

* AmericaWonWorldWarII: "That American rabbit Bugsenheimer Bunny" easily outwits Hitler and Göring.

This would also be the last wartime propaganda cartoon released by Warners' animation department. Only four months after its release Nazi Germany surrendered. It was allegedly shown to German prisoners of war, who didn't like it.

Like most UsefulNotes/WorldWarII propaganda cartoons, "Herr Meets Hare" was kept out of circulation after the war due to ValuesDissonance and it being a [[UnintentionalPeriodPiece Period Piece]], though Cartoon Network (who had initially banned it in 2001 from their "June Bugs" marathon that would have aired every Bugs Bunny cartoon ever made) aired this as part of their ''[=ToonHeads=]'' World War II special and it's released on the sixth volume of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection with optional audio commentary by Greg Ford.

* InsigniaRipOffRitual: Parodied. Bugs, disguised as Hitler, not only rips away all the medals on his chest, but also rips off his shirt and belt, which makes his pants drop down.

* ThoseWackyNazis: Göring is depicting as a bumbling fool and Hitler as an equally dimwitted simpleton.
** Actually, it can be argued that Hitler is somewhat smarter than Goering, and barters with him over his new medal much like a used car salesman (starting with "Tell ya what I'm goink to do...")

* LostInTranslation: When Goebbels orders his hawk to catch Bugs the bird doesn't seem to understand what he is saying and holds a sign to the audience, which reads "Evidently this guy is a foreigner."

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Bugs Bunny tricks Joseph Goebbels and Adolf Hitler. Near the end he dresses himself up as UsefulNotes/JosefStalin.

* StandardSnippet: "Oh du Lieber Augustin" and music by Music/RichardWagner from ''Theatre/{{Tannhauser}}'' are heard throughout most of the cartoon, which happened a lot in cartoons from that era targeting Germans, Nazis or Hitler. "A-Hunting We Will Go" plays when Goebbels is seen in his hunting outfit. "Song Of The Volga Boatmen" plays when Bugs is seen dressed up as Stalin.

* ChestOfMedals: Bugs, dressed up as Hitler, rips away all the medals on Göring's chest, but also rips off his shirt and belt, which makes his pants drop down.

Like most WorldWarTwo propaganda cartoons "Herr Meets Hare" was kept out of circulation after the war due to ValuesDissonance and it being an UnintentionalPeriodPiece.

TropeNamer for WrongTurnAtAlbuquerque, because this was the first cartoon in which Bugs says this famous line.

!! This cartoon provides examples of:

** In the 2011 WebOriginal/TheCinemaSnob episode where Brad Jones reviews ''Film/HitlerDeadOrAlive'' he comments upon the "zany opening music" and excepts Bugs Bunny to turn up. He then shows the ending from "Herr Meets Hare".

* AmericaWinsTheWar: "That American rabbit Bugsenheimer Bunny" easily outwits Hitler and Göring.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Bugs Bunny tricks Joseph Goebbels and Adolf Hitler. Near the end he dresses himself up as UsefulNotes/JosephStalin.
* PaperThinDisguise: Bugs dresses up as a BrawnHilda character, UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler and UsefulNotes/JosephStalin and fools Göring all three times.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: When this cartoon premiered in theaters Nazi Germany was inevitably going to lose the war, something the opening scenes already allude to. The fact that Bugs dressing up like UsefulNotes/JosephStalin scares off Hitler and Göring refers to the fact that Stalin's troops had already reconquered most of Eastern Europe at this point and were heading for Berlin.
