** Also we have Bugs to thank for "Nimrod" becoming an insult. In one of the earliest Bugs cartoons, he's squaring off against Elmer Fudd, and at one point remarks "poor little Nimrod". The original intent was to draw an ironic parallel to Nimrod, a great hunter mentioned briefly in [[Literature/TheBible the Book of Genesis]], but many kids, perhaps not knowing that obscure Biblical figure, thought it was a novel way of saying "moron", and the meaning stuck.

* ValuesResonance: In "Southern Fried Rabbit", Yosemite Sam is a prideful Confederate soldier convinced the Civil War had never ended. Bugs tells him it ended [[DatedHistory "almost 90 years ago"]] and that he should move on. Sam's attitudes aren't too far off from Confederate enthusiasts' today, and the short very much puts him in the wrong for his beliefs. Despite some racial stereotyping – for instance, Bugs in a (very obvious) blackface disguise to goad Sam into "whipping slaves" – the gags set up the idea of Confederate sympathizers as looking foolish for their beliefs.

**ValuesDissonance: "WesternAnimation/AllThisAndRabbitStew", and most infamously, "WesternAnimation/BugsBunnyNipsTheNips". The latter even got the first "Golden Age of Looney Tunes" laserdisc set recalled when it was included on it, replacing it with ''Racketeer Rabbit''. It also got the 7th Golden Age VHS release(Bugs Bunny By Each Director) recalled(as well as the five tape box-set that included that volume). If you can find an unaltered copy of that laserdisc set with the Nips cartoon on it, you've got a nice collector's item on your hands.
