* {{Zeerust}}: There are futuristic buildings in the background as the two chase each other, whereas the actual 2000 architecture didn't look [=THAT=] different from 1948.

** At one point, it's mentioned that Music/BingCrosby is still alive in the year 2000 (while he died in 1977 in RealLife) and still waiting for his horse to cross the finish line.
** A newspaper headline reads that "Smellevision replaces Television: Carl Stalling Sez It Will Never Work!". Stalling had passed away in 1972 and television (despite some ups and downs, and in different permutations) is still popular in 2000 and beyond. Various attempts at video scent technology have remained experimental.
** Another newspaper article (though not mentioned by Elmer) reads "[Dionne] Quintuplets Give Birth to Quintuplets". However, only three of the quintuplets had married and started a family, and although one of these three (Cécile) did indeed give birth to five children, only one child of hers died in infancy, and two of them (Bruno and Bernard) were twins, so these five babies of hers were still not quintuplets. (Marie had two daughters, and Annette had three sons.) By the [[TurnOfTheMillennium actual year 2000]], only three of these Dionne Quintuplets were still alive (Émilie had died of a seizure at age 20 in 1954, and Marie died at age 35 in 1970), and Yvonne would die a year later at age 67, while Annette and Cécile, both of whom are currently alive, had divorced decades earlier.

Elmer Fudd, frustrated with his inability to catch Bugs, sits under a tree and is transported into the far off year 2000 (which, back then, was considered futuristic, 56 years into the future). Now an old man armed with a laser gun, he goes after an equally aged Bugs Bunny and upon managing to succeed, Bugs sets up a flashback to when they were young children and how it all began. As Bugs feigns his death and digs his own grave, he manages to trick Elmer inside and bury him alive.
