Worse yet, the guy goes on a tangent about how eating Playboy is going to be a MercyKill, but when Bugs points out that a rabbit would be a better meal, the hobo just yells "I love rabbits, too!" and blindly charges at Bugs.

They could have gone there on foot in a matter of hours.[[/note]] Bugs has a nervous breakdown right then and there.

The cartoon starts with the Ice Frolics skating show packing up and leaving the theater, accidentally leaving behind their star attraction, Playboy the Penguin. He tries to follow the trucks, but slips down a hill and falls into Bugs Bunny's rabbit hole, waking him up. Bugs is annoyed at Playboy disturbing his rest, but he quickly apologizes when he realizes Playboy is lost, and offers to help him find his way home, reading a book and deducing that he has to take him all the way to the South Pole.

"Not So Above It All" is when a normally serious character decides to goof off. The example seems to be more appropriate with "Sanity Slippage", since Bugs Bunny loses his sanity by the end of the cartoon. In addition, "Shoot The Shaggy Dog" is when a hero dies AND when all his efforts were vain. The "Shaggy Dog Story" is simply when the hero's efforts are all for nothing.
