History WesternAnimation / LongHairedHare

That night, at Jones's performance, Bugs doles out some characteristically hilarious abuse before unleashing his finale: he enters the orchestra pit disguised as famed opera conductor Leopold Stokowski, takes over the orchestra and forces Jones to hold [[IncrediblyLongNote an ungodly long G]] that literally brings the house down.

* BullyingADragon: Giovanni Jones had no clue that when Bugs declares war on those who wrong him, ''he means it.''

"Long-Haired Hare" is a 1949 WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes cartoon starring WesternAnimation/BugsBunny and directed by Creator/ChuckJones.

* OneShotCharacter: Giovanni, technically, as this is his only appearance in a Golden Age (1930-1969) Looney Tunes short. However, he does make sporadic cameos in later Warner Bros media, such as WesternAnimation/{{Carrotblanca}} and WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}.

* DeathGlare: Leopold three times in the beginning as he is enraged by Bugs' tunes. Later as part of his RoaringRampageOfRevenge Bugs glares daggers through Jones before his performance, making it clear it won't be pretty.

* HeliumSpeech: Bugs gives Jones alum to get this effect (it's in the "Figaro" rendition) while also causing [[ShrunkenHead his head to shrink]].

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Leopold Stokowski is this for the entire band performing at the concert.

* OverlyLongGag: Giovanni's G note is so long that Bugs leaves the podium (with his glove still holding the note) to go get earmuffs...by mail.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: CBS ''did not'' like this cartoon because of its increasing violence in the beginning. The three times Giovanni Jones beats up Bugs (who keeps disrupting his opera practice by playing his own instruments) were cut when aired on CBS in the 1970s and 1980s. As a result, they portrayed Bugs ruining Giovanni's opera for no good reason, making him look like a {{Jerkass}}.

* OneBookAuthor: Giovanni's singing is performed by Nikolai Shutorov, a baritone who had sang in Hollywood choruses but never received screen credit. This was his only solo work. He died before the cartoon's release.

* InstantHomeDelivery: In the middle of the high note, Bugs steps out and orders some earmuffs by mail. Seconds after putting the form in the mail, the earmuffs arrive, without the postman even picking up the letter first.

* TheFlappingDickey: The ClothingDamage Giovanni Jone suffers during his IncrediblyLongNote includes the classic gag of his shirt front popping up to signify his punctured pomp.

* GoofyPrintUnderwear: As Giovanni Jones’s clothing [[ClothingDamage falls apart]] during his IncrediblyLongNote, his pants fall down to reveal his blue underwear adorned with red flowers.

* {{Jerkass}}: Instead of asking Bugs not to interrupt his rehearsals, Jones breaks his instruments and beats him up. Bugs is even uncharacteristically patient with him, and puts up with it ''three times'' before finally having enough of Giovanni's abuse.

** The opening "Rainy Night in Rio" number is a reference to the long-forgotten film "The Time, The Place And The Girl," which was where the song originated.

* ThisMeansWar: Not only does Bugs utter this phrase near word-for-word, but it's also clearly indicated by his DeathGlare.

Bugs is hanging out one day playing the banjo and singing "A Rainy Night in Rio," when his singing bothers Giovanni Jones, a pompous opera singer who is rehearsing his part in ''Theatre/TheBarberOfSeville''. When he finds himself absentmindedly singing along to whatever Bugs is playing, Jones storms outside to put an end to the disturbance. Beginning with destroying the rabbit's banjo ("Music hater," the rabbit incorrectly guesses), he gets even angrier as Bugs graduates to a harp ("Also a rabbit hater," Bugs observes. "Oh, well.") and then a Sousaphone. When Jones finally ties him to a tree by his ears and pulls back, causing the rabbit's noggin to bang into the branch, Bugs decides [[ThisMeansWar it's on]].

That night, at Jones's performance, Bugs doles out some characteristically hilarious abuse, first by striking the performance bowl with a mallet, causing Jones to shake all over the stage and fall into a tuba, then by disguising himself as a bobby-socker and requesting an autograph... with a stick of dynamite. Then, for his finale, he enters the orchestra pit disguised as famed opera conductor Leopold Stokowski, takes over the orchestra and forces Jones to hold [[IncrediblyLongNote an ungodly long C]] that literally brings the house down.

* DisproportionateRetribution: While Jones's frustration at Bugs for disturbing his rehearsal is understandable, [[HairTriggerTemper Jones responds with increasing violence every time Bugs obliviously interrupts his rehearsal]]. After these get particularly vindictive, Bugs himself takes very elaborate measures to ruin Jones's performance.

* HavingAGayOldTime: "Long hairs" used to be a slang term for conductors, due to the tendency for them to grow their hair longer than average, hence the cartoon's title despite Bugs not having long hair (save his Leopold wig).

* {{Bowdlerization}}: CBS ''hated'' this cartoon due to its violence in the beginning. The three times Giovanni Jones beats up Bugs (who keeps disrupting his opera practice by playing his own instruments) were cut when aired on CBS in the 1970s and 1980s. As a result, Bugs ruins Giovanni's opera for no good reason, making him a {{Jerkass}}.

** The song Bugs sings while playing the harp is "My Gal Is A High-Born Lady", a song with lyrics that were [[http://mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=4114 hella racist]] even by the standards of the 1940s. Chuck Jones and Mike Maltese wrote tamer lyrics for Bugs to sing.
