D'oh! Bugs Bunny Flashes Penis During Cartoon

Sigh. This is the *second-most* asked about item we didn't already have covered on our site:

While the explanation makes sense, most of the time, when bugs is viewed from the front, you can see more grey between his legs...which I'm sure is done to mark the contrast of him standing in front of something. You can see it in the first still on the page...for some reason in the second still, the grey is just barely visible.

It must be a lonely, lonely world knowing everything there is to know.

I still think I can see Bugs Bunny's weiner even if it's only in my dreams

So it's safe to say that penis did NOT ensue?

I don't see why there's such a marked difference between the tip and his belly, though. Shouldn't there not be an outline around the tip-thing?

Here's what I noticed. I paused the video at 3:42 where you get a good frontal shot of bugs. The white fur on his front side makes a complete arc at the bottom of his midsection, and then there is a complete section of grey fur at the crotch.

In the shower scene, the grey fur does not connect from one leg to the next, and rather than forming an arc, the white fur goes, um up? to form a smaller, inverse arc.

The moral to this story from what I can see is that Bugs Bunny's crotch is grey, not white, so the shower frame contradicts all other renditions of Bugs than I can remember. Of course, the only direct comparison I would draw is other images of Bugs from this specific video since it is obviously and earlier rendition, and Bugs changed considerably in following years.

ETA -- Hey Snopes, you got any extra Whataburger coupons?

This guy's blog on constructing Bugs has some older stills where Bugs has a white crotch. It seems they went back and forth for awhile, which explains some of the confusion.

I feel compelled to ask the obvious question: What's the most asked about item?

So...
1. Did these women really eat poo?
2. Is this really Bugs' willy? (Or, is it "Weawy his wiwy?")

Dare I ask what #3 is?

Seems anti-climatic, but it's probably better for you

You would not believe how disappointed I am that the coupons are not going to be honored.

Wow. The first time I came across this was in the 1992 book Film Flubs, The Sequel by Bill Givens (page 48). They even have the same picture as the Snopes article, with Bugs out of the tub with the towel. When I saw that in the book 15 years ago, I said, "WTF are they smoking, and can I have some? Is it just me, people?! It's the tub, not his 'Rabbithood' we're seeing!!" I still stand by that statement: "WTF are they smoking, and can I have some?"

I hate to admit it, but even knowing that it was false I did a double-take at the picture.

But if it's just the tub, then what's with the part that extends up over his stomach? His stomach is transparent?

Ah, that explains it. I hadn't even opened that thread. I only got through the first few lines and decided -- I think I have better things to do than watch that. I hadn't read its whole whole OP.
