* ItsNotAboutTheRequest: As the plane goes into a nosedive, Sam is shocked to find Bugs calmly reading a manual on how to fly. Panicking, Sam pulls his gun on Bugs and demands that he read faster. Bugs then closes the book and says, "I refuse to look up any more reference because you talked mean to me. Say you're sorry." Sam refuses, but as he sees the ground approaching fast, he relents and says sorry. Bugs then asks that he say "sorry with sugar on it" just to twist the knife. Sam refuses again, but now the plane is almost about to crash, and after some failed attempts to act nonchalant, Sam swallows his pride and says, "I'm sorry with sugar on it." Bugs then pulls the plane out of its nosedive, just mere feet from hitting the ground.

Much of the comedy with the airplane makes the cartoon a SpiritualSuccessor to Bugs' 1943 ''WesternAnimation/FallingHare''.

* PragmaticAdaptation: In ''The Bugs Bunny Mystery Special'' (1980), the scene where Yosemite Sam robs the Last National Bank is replaced with Elmer Fudd offering him a bounty of a large sum of money if Sam can find Bugs and arrest him (since Bugs himself, framed for being the Tall Dark Stranger, has escaped from Sing-Song Prison at the end of ''WesternAnimation/BigHouseBunny''); the scene where Sam threatens to shoot him if Bugs can't help him escape is replaced with Sam ordering him to "fly us back to Sing-Song Prison"; and the scene where Sam ends up parachuting into a police car of officers is replaced with Elmer flying toward Sam and telling him that he did a "wotten" job before taking the bounty money back and firing him.

* WrongParachuteGag: Somewhat amazingly averted- both of the parachutes included on the plane work exactly like they are supposed to. Not that it does Sam much good. A later clip-show toon,"Devil's Feud Cake" partially re-used footage from this segment to play the trope straight, with Sam ending up with a backpack of camping supplies instead.

'''Hare Lift''' is a 1952 WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes cartoon directed by Creator/FrizFreleng featuring WesternAnimation/BugsBunny and WesternAnimation/YosemiteSam. The short revolves around the "world's biggest" (and worst-guarded) airplane which Bugs wanders aboard after it is parked over his rabbit hole and left unattended. Sam is a fleeing bank robber who boards the plane as well, mistaking Bugs for the pilot and forcing him to take off. As always, HilarityEnsues, but as seen below, the short's two best-remembered gags involve the use of the plane's two parachutes.
