Buzz Bunny

This is another oldie but goodie that needed to be posted because, for the love of God, stop trying to change Bugs Bunny!

Did anyone watch Tiny Toons? Because Tiny Toons was good. And so was Animaniacs, although I never really got into that as much. But the Loonatics go directly contrary to the spirit of Bugs Bunny: he's not an action star, he's a pacifist (mostly). He doesn't wear a black jumpsuit, he dresses in drag -- and looks pretty damn fine while he does it, too. Most important of all, Bugs is freaking funny. These Loonatics characters are... well, let's just say that saving a city from being destroyed by a giant comet isn't really all that funny, while tricking Yosemite Sam into shooting himself in the ass is.

Bugs Bunny is an icon. He was voted the number one cartoon character of all time by TV Guide. He has a star on the Walk of Fame. He survived a world war, and his cartoons from the '50s and '60s are just as entertaining fifty years later. This is not a character that needs "updating", this is a character that needs respect. Turning Bugs into Buzz (or Ace, I guess, because of some copyright somethingorother) is the last refuge of the lazy, tired, unimaginative, hack writers that seem to be running around in so many places these days.

Anyway. This is a great bit of satire and you should watch it.
