History WesternAnimation / HareTrimmed

This short was later edited into both the 1979 TV special ''Bugs Bunny's Valentine'' (a.k.a. ''Bugs Bunny's Cupid Capers'') and the 1981 theatrical film ''The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie''.

* HistoricalLongevityJoke: As Sam chases Granny, she muses that she hasn't seen this much action since the boys got back from Gettysburg. Mind you, at the time UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar had only ended eighty-eight years before.

Sam learns that a local widow (Granny) has inherited $50 million and decides to marry her for her money, after which he intends to throw her out, raze the orphanage, and eliminate the police department. Unbeknownst to him, however, Bugs has overheard the ornery ruffian's evil intentions and vows to keep the widow safe, as only he can.

* DropTheHammer / CranialEruption: Bugs' idea of serving Sam lumps is not in his coffee, but to his noggin with a mallet.

* MistakenForAnImposter: Seeing that Sam is "looped" (that is, having been crushed by the piano), Granny offers him some black coffee and goes off to get some. Then Bugs, disguised as Granny, runs up with a tray of coffee and asks Sam for "one lump or two" of sugar. Sam asks for two lumps, which Bugs delivers -- [[DropTheHammer to his head with a mallet]], then runs off. Then the real Granny shows up with another coffee tray and also asks if Sam wants one lump or two. Sam, thinking it's Bugs again, angrily kicks the tray out of her hand and shouts, "THAT'S how many!" Granny recoils in shock and runs up the stairs, crying, "He's flipped his lid!" When he hears how Granny sounds, Sam realizes his mistake and tries to make amends, to no avail.

This short was later edited into both the 1979 TV special ''Bugs Bunny's Valentine'' (a.k.a. ''Bugs Bunny's Cupid Capers'') and the 1981 theatrical film ''The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie''. A soundbite of Sam laughing in this cartoon was also used for the enemy Jack in ''[[VideoGame/StreetsOfRage Streets of Rage 2]]''.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: This cartoon was one of the most frequently shown on ABC's ''The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show''. Unfortunately, it was also one of the most heavily-edited. There, the following cuts were made: 1) The entire scene between Sam being crushed by a piano and Granny running up the stairs in fright, eliminating the entire black coffee scene, which shows Bugs, disguised as Granny, serving Sam two lumps -- to his head, as well as Sam kicking the coffee out of the real Granny's hand in retaliation before he realizes, to his horror, that it was the real Granny and not Bugs in disguise; 2) Sam's attempts to try to get back to Granny, who is hiding from him and defending herself with a rifle, which she fires at Sam twice, first when he's trying to peer at her through the keyhole and then when he tries to get into her room through the transom; and 3) Sam willing to take another two lumps to the head from the disguised Bugs ("I like it, I like it!").

* CrocodileTears: The cartoon ends with Bugs shedding them over losing Sam.

* [[RunawayBride Runaway Groom]]: After being put through so much hell and he discovers the true identity of his "bride" at the wedding, Sam ultimately decides not to marry after all and runs off, leaving Bugs at the altar.

* TenPacesAndTurn: As part of their DuelToTheDeath with pistols, Bugs starts counting to 10, but while Sam starts actually pacing, Bugs cheats, first by pacing in place, and then, when he reaches 9, by going into some crazy fractions before reaching 10. All the while, Sam keeps pacing, not realizing until Bugs reaches 10 that he has been tricked into the middle of the street, having timed it all so that a bus runs him over.

Edited into the 1979 TV special ''Bugs Bunny's Valentine'' (a.k.a. ''Bugs Bunny's Cupid Capers'').

* EveryoneHasStandards: Bugs is motivated to intervene because he's disgusted by the idea of someone exploiting a widow.

Sam learns that a local widow (Granny) has inherited $50 million and decides to marry her for her money, intending to commit some nefarious deeds with it. Unbeknownst to him, however, Bugs has overheard the ornery ruffian's evil intentions and vows to keep the widow safe, as only he can.

* WorthIt: Averted in this case. Unlike "WesternAnimation/HoneysMoney", Sam decides no amount of money is worth being hitched. Bugs, in drag, doesn't seem too bothered by it.

* CranialEruption: Sam, when Bugs delivers some blows to his noggin with a mallet.

!!Tropes:

* {{Bowdlerization}}: This cartoon was one of the most frequently shown on ABC's ''The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show''. Unfortunately, however, it was also one of the most heavily-edited. To wit:
** The entire scene between Sam being crushed by a piano and Granny running up the stairs in fright is cut, eliminating the entire black coffee scene, which shows Bugs, disguised as Granny, serving Sam two lumps -- to his head, as well as Sam kicking the coffee out of the real Granny's hand in retaliation before he realizes, to his horror, that it was the real Granny and not Bugs in disguise.
** Also cut were Sam's attempts to try to get back to Granny, who is hiding from him and defending herself with a rifle, which she fires at Sam twice, first when he's trying to peer at her through the keyhole and then when he tries to get into her room through the transom.
** Also cut was Sam willing to take another two lumps to the head from the disguised Bugs ("I like it, I like it!").
