Easter Yeggs

Easter Yeggs is a Looney Tunes animated short originally released theatrically on June 28, 1947, featuring Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd. The title is a play on "Easter eggs" and on "yegg", a slang term for a burglar or safecracker. In the short, Bugs Bunny delivers eggs for the lazy Easter Bunny; he encounters a sadistic brat and a rabbit stew-hungry Elmer Fudd.

Bugs Bunny

• [singing and skipping] Here's the Easter Rabbit, hooray! / Making like funny, hooray! - Phooey! I'm glad I don't have to do this for a living. [resumes singing] I am getting looney tuney, touched in the head / This whole thing is gooney, I should have stood in bed.

Dialogue

[Bugs opens the door of the first house and it's Elmer Fudd. He closes the door and opens the door of the second house and it's Elmer Fudd again. He closes the door and opens the door of the third house and it's the Dead End Kid]

Dead End Kid: I want an Easter egg! I want an Easter egg! I want an Easter egg!

Bugs Bunny: Oh, no! [closes the door and goes to the last house]

[Elmer crashes through the door. Bugs paints Elmer's head to look like an Easter egg and whistles to the Dead End Kid]

Dead End Kid: [hits Elmer with a hammer] I want an Easter egg! I want an Easter egg! I want an Easter egg! I want an Easter egg...

Elmer Fudd: Hey! Cut it out! Ooh! No! Stop it! [runs away with the Dead End Kid]

Bugs Bunny: Well, that's that. No more with the nickering with Easter eggs.

Easter Rabbit: Oh. Here's an Easter egg that crazy rabbit forgot to deliver it. If you want anything done, You have to do it yourself. [picks up an egg] Things like this just make me go all to pieces.

Bugs Bunny: [lights up the fuse] It's the suspense that gets me! [the bomb explodes and the Easter Rabbit is left hanging on a tree] Remember, Doc: keep smiling! [starts laughing as the cartoon irises out]
