* HarsherInHindsight: Elmer Fudd points to caricatures of Creator/AlJolson, Creator/JackBenny, Eddie Cantor, and Creator/BingCrosby, saying “They’ll never amount to anything!”. While this was hilarious in 1950 thanks to their popularity in film and radio at the time, nowadays, only Crosby will be recognizable right away to modern viewers due to his films like ''Film/WhiteChristmas'' standing the test of time in the decades since. Jack Benny wouldn’t enjoy the same level of enduring popularity due to his success being mainly on television and radio, nor would Eddie Cantor (himself known for radio and vaudeville). Al Jolson, while still a known figure among classic Hollywood fans for starring in the first “talkie” ''Film/TheJazzSinger'', is also unlikely to be as well-known as Crosby due to his career being steeped in ''serious'' ValuesDissonance (as detailed on Jolson’s creator page). This changes the entire impact of the joke, since these days Bugs is the most iconic figure among that group.
