Funny / Looney Tunes: Back in Action

• When Daffy floods the Warner lot, Bugs is seen fishing and exclaims, "Hey, what do you know, I found Nemo!"
  • Before the flooding happens, while everyone has an Oh, Crap! moment, Bugs opens up a miniature drink umbrella in anticipation.
  • The preceding scene brings Daffy back to his screwball roots and plays like a classic "Daffy vs hunter" cartoon, except the hunter in this case is a completely human character, which somehow makes it even funnier as he valiantly tries and fails to match wits with a Looney Tune. Capping with Daffy's own smug reaction when the ensuing mayhem engulfs Kate (who is, at the time, D.J.'s boss).
    Daffy: I think she likes you.
    D.J.: (struggling to find something to say) ... Oops!
    {smash cut to D.J. getting fired}
  • Real world physics prevents Daffy from getting D.J. with the "runs into a fake wall" trick (the wall is a tarp and just rips). Daffy complains that that's cheating.
• In the Warner Bros. cafeteria, Porky and Speedy lament how they're no longer seen as politically correct, while Shaggy and Scooby chew out Matthew Lillard for his performance in the 2002 film.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight now that Lillard has become Shaggy's official voice actor.
  • Even better in that Shaggy and Scooby aren't animated in the smooth, shaded style as the other toons, but in good old Hanna-Barbera Limited Animation.
• After Kate suggests pairing Bugs up with a hot female costar, we get Bugs's best drag performance ever.
  Bugs: Usually, (dresses up like Marilyn Monroe and speaking in a soft, sultry voice) I play the female love interest.
  Michigan J. Frog: (in the background) HELLO MA BABY HELLO MA HONEY!
  Kate: About the crossdressing thing: In the past, funny. Today, disturbing.
  Bugs: (changes back and wipes the lipstick off his mouth) Lady, if you don't find a rabbit with lipstick amusin', you and I have nothin' to say to each other.
  • While they're having this conversation, Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog are having lunch in the background. When Ralph opens his lunchbox to reveal an entire sheep, Sam promptly grabs him by the throat and starts beating him up.
• While DJ is driving to Las Vagas, Daffy at one point sticks his head out the window, with his tongue out, as if he were a dog.
• The Chairman constantly fiddling with the numerous remote controls in the ACME boardroom (which includes random glimpses of I Love to Singa).
• The entire Psycho parody with Bugs, complete with his over-the-top screaming and him clearly pouring Hershey's chocolate down the drain.^note A nod to the fact that the blood in the original Psycho was actually chocolate sauce.
  • Not to mention that the whole reason Bugs did the whole thing in the first place:
  Bugs: Doesn't anyone knock anymore?
• When Kate is having her Heroic BSoD about firing D.J., Bugs is seen peeking out from a knight's armor, listening to what Kate is saying and gaining Puppy-Dog Eyes upon hearing her.
  Bugs: Oh, I hate to see a grown man cry...especially when it's a girl.
  • You even can tell she's faking it after she sees him in the armor.
• The car scene with Daffy and D.J. gives us a hilarious Take That Me on Brendan Fraser.
  D.J.: Did you see those "Mummy" movies? I'm in there more than Brendan Fraser is! [...] One day he decides, "No, no, no! The Bren-master does his own stunts!"
• Everything that happens in this scene.
• This gem...
  Daffy: I don't know the meaning of the word "fear".
  (opens the door to reveal Sam with a cannon)
  Sam: Say your prayers, duck!
  Daffy: (Freaking out) Fear. Noun; a state of terror.
• Also the scene where D.J. lands on a poker table and is barked at by several dogs who were playing poker (such as Charlie Dog, Barnyard Dawg, Ham and Ex).
• The scene where Foghorn Leghorn is a card dealer and D.J. keeps saying "Hit me" to get find the Plot Device card against Sam. When Sam reaches his limit after being continuously denied cards.
  Sam: HIT ME, FRAGNABBIT!
  Foghorn: (Beat and Aside Glance, hits Sam with a club, flattening him and leaving him mumbling in {{Angrish}}) He’s the boss. Card, sir?
  D.J.: (After Stunned Silence at what happened to Sam, clearly hesitating on asking once more) H-Hit me? (flinches, clearly thinking he’s going to get hit too, though instead simply happens to get the card he needs)
  • Amid Sam’s ranting after being hit, he can be heard calling Foghorn “son of a cock.”
• Then there's the car chase, where Sam's goons get out the dynamite.
  Kate: Dynamite? Who has dynamite!?
  Daffy: Welcome to My World.
  • Followed immediately by Sam arguing with his goons about getting rid of the dynamite.
  Sam: Throw it out the window! Throw it out, throw it out!
  Nasty Canasta (from "Drip-Along Daffy"): But innocent people could get hurt!
  Sam: Throw it it out the window!
  Cottontail Smith (from "Super-Rabbit"): It'll send the wrong message to children!
  Sam: THROW IT OU- (BOOM) OOOOOOOOH!
• The fact that, during the car chase, Bugs and Daffy can, briefly, be seen swapping wills meaning they are the executors of each other's will!
• With Sam and his goons right behind the gang, Bugs points out what lies just ahead might be even worse.
  Bugs: Just a suggestion, but all those in favor of not hitting that wall, say "aye."
  DJ & Kate: AYE!!!
  Daffy: (meekly) Mother!
  Spy Car GPS: Taking you to Mother.
  (the car emits jet rocket boosters, allowing it to lift off and fly over the oncoming wall, leaving Yosemite Sam headed for the wall instead)
  Sam: Uh-oh... (collides through the wall)
  • Yosemite Sam hits the aforementioned brick wall, he is sent ricocheting across a bar and into a dark cavern. He lights a match, sees he's in a room full of TNT, and gets blasted into the air, so high, the heroes see him from their flying car. His look of Oh, Crap! and This Is Gonna Suck before the explosion is priceless.
  Bugs: Oh, look, a shooting star. Quick, everybody make a wish!
• Daffy's realization after the spy car starts flying miles above the Earth.
  Daffy: Huh. You know? I'm beginning to think that this one is the spy car.
  Bugs: (facepalms)
• The entire scene with the falling spy car.
  Daffy: (talking on a cellphone) Sell all my Warner Bros. stock! I got an inside tip that Bugs Bunny's about to die!
  • Which implies that either Daffy was doing insider trading before he got fired (since he was a high ranking employee and not a shareholder), or he was so sure Warner Bros. stock would skyrocket because he got fired that he bought immediately after he got fired. Not to mention he’s doing this under the assumption of Bugs dying while under the threat of as much too!
  • Bugs screaming only to stop from coughing and then spray his mouth with a casually calm look before resuming screaming with tongue flapping and bulging wide eyes.
  • Especially the end, when the car suddenly stops to a halt in midair inches from the ground.
  Bugs: Huh. Outta gas.
  (scene fades to black)
  Kate: What?! It doesn’t work like that!
  (abruptly cuts back to the same scene as the car suddenly crashes into the dirt)
  Bugs: Nice goin', Toots.
• This dialogue at the camping scene.
  Bugs: I'm tellin' ya, Daffy, I heard the Warner Brothers say you were their best duck.
  Daffy: Flattered though I may be, flattened I will not, in order for you to get the laughs! It's all "hoo-hoo, yuk yuk", and then "bam, wham, BLAM!"
  Bugs: And your tail is on fire.
  Daffy: Exactly my point! The—
  Bugs: No, really, your tail's on fire.
  Daffy: Huh? [turns to see that his tail actually is on fire] YEOW! AAH! OW! WHOO! OOH-HOO! HOO-HOO! WHOO! [sprints around trying to extinguish his tail; Bugs laughs]
  Bugs: Daff, you're accident-prone.
  [Daffy finally puts out his tail]
  Daffy: [sadly] What am I talkin' to you for? All you have to do is munch on a carrot and people love you...
• The entire Wal-Mart scene with its mocking of Product Placement.
  Bugs: Nice of Wal-Mart to provide these Wal-Mart beverages in return for us saying Wal-Mart so many times.
• Just before their arrival at Area 52, Wile E. Coyote launches off a missle, which goes wrong and flattens him. Neither DJ, Kate, Bugs or Daffy pay any attention to the explosion behind them even though they're supposed to be alone in a desert! Bugs and Daffy makes sense - they act; stuff exploding around them (or on them, as is often the case with Daffy) is normal for them, but surely the humans would notice? Nope. They're too busy arguing to notice.
• In Area 52, Daffy gets tasered and melts into a puddle of black goo.
  Daffy: Cleanup on aisle three.
• This gem after the Chairman decides to give Wile E. Coyote a second chance.
  The Chairman: Now, just go take a shower and don't come back 'til you smell better! (Wile E. exits, Beat) And be careful, there're some men moving a safe out there, and I don't want you to—
  (sound of safe falling on him off-screen)
  The Chairman: (Beat) And be careful of the box of fireworks, because—
  (explosion, sound of distant fireworks)
  The Chairman: (long Beat) [carefully] I suppose I should mention the plate-glass windo-
  (sound of breaking glass)
  The Chairman: [exasperated] It's tough being the boss.
  • Just why is the shower near men moving a safe, a box of fireworks and a plate-glass window?
• Mother's reaction when she finds out DJ already knows about the Blue Monkey: "What is the point of making them pinkie swear?"
• Daffy getting his head severed by a laser from the spy phone. (“Game Boy? : D”) Later, his body tries to pick up his head, only for Bugs to kick it away from him.
• The entirety of the painting chase with Bugs, Daffy and Elmer.
• When DJ Drake attempts to use the rocket pants given to him earlier. Instead of allowing him to fly like they should, his pants simply rip off, leaving DJ stranded in his boxers.
• Take a close look at the nameplates of the Acme Board of Directors; the positions are things like "VP of Rhetorical Questions" and "VP of Never Learning". Apparently, that's not the first time he's been skeletonized by Taz...
• There's a scene when Daffy and the gang come across what he thinks is the Blue Monkey, and launches into a short, angry rant about how he got ripped off. At the end of it, this happens:
  Daffy: WHERE IS MY HUMONGOUS ROCK?!
  (a boulder falls on top of him, flattening him)
  • Afterwards, Daffy inflates himself just as the booby traps activate, including fast-shooting darts
  Daffy: (delirious) Are we rich yet? (gets poked by darts and deflates)
• This joke about disguises after it's revealed that Mr. Chairman has been disguised as Granny.
  D.J.: I knew it was you.
  Mr. Chairman: Oh, you knew it was me, did you? Well, you're wrong, you see. Because I'm not me. I'm actually... (tries to find the zip) I can't. I can't reach over the hat. I'd rehearse back at ACME, but I never wore the hat. And now the hat is throwing me off. Would you... (gives his hat to D.J., who throws it away) Thank you, very much. Now, I'm actually... (undisguises himself, revealing Damian Drake)
  Damian Drake: Your father.
  D.J.: Dad!
  Daffy: Saw that one coming.
  Damian Drake: Look into your heart, D.J. You know it's true..
  D.J.: (D.J. is heartbroken) No, it can't be true...
  Damian Drake: You're right, it isn't!
  (undisguises himself, revealing Michael Jordan)
  Michael Jordan: Let's do some drills.
  (D.J. is confused)
  Daffy: This doesn't make a lick of sense.
  (undisguises himself, revealing Mr. Chairman)
  Mr. Chairman: Well, who's laughing now? (cricket sounds) Apparently, no one.
  • Note that Daffy says he saw this coming and yet looks about ready to be tearing up at the “reunion.”
• The Teleporter Accident scene when the Chairman takes the heroes to his office.
  Chairman: Thought they fixed that glitch!
• The Chairman showing DJ that his father is tied to train tracks and surrounded by dynamite, along with the Pendulum of Doom™ which apparently the Chairman didn't order.
  Mr. Chairman: Oh, look! There's the Pendulum of Doom! What's the Pendulum of Doom doing there? I did not order the Pendulum of Doom! It's overkill! Get rid of it!
  [Wile E. Coyote appears on the screen, and sheepishly raises the pendulum]
  • Later, DJ saves his father from being hit by the train at the last second, leaving train conductor Wile E. careening down the track pushing a pile of lit explosives. He reacts with an Aside Glance and one of his trademark signs:
  "They don't pay me enough."
• When Daffy tries to spring into action as Duck Dodgers for the climax, he puts on a jetpack and says "Duck Dodgers to the rescue!", after which the jetpack blows up. He tries a few more jetpacks when he says it, blowing up each time. Finally, he stares at a jetpack, flatly says "Duck" and it explodes.
  Daffy: It's You-Know-Who to the rescue! (to audience) It helps if you don't say the name.
• During the lightsaber battle with Marvin, Bugs can be seen reading The Force for Dummies.
• As DJ embraces his father, he sees Bugs and Daffy's spaceship headed straight for them.
  DJ: Dad, I think we should move.
  Damian: What's wrong with Beverly Hills?
  DJ: I meant from this spot.
  (both see the incoming spaceship and quickly run away screaming)
• In the original ending, the bit where DJ introduces Kate to Damian:
  DJ: Dad, this is Kate. We constantly fight, we have nothing in common.
  Kate: This could be the one.
