Cap\u00adsule Descrip\u00adtion:<\/em> Bugs Bun\u00adny\u2019s eter\u00adnal neme\u00adsis, hunter Elmer Fudd, tries a new tac\u00adtic this time: hyp\u00adno\u00adsis. Using a book on hyp\u00adno\u00adsis, he first hyp\u00adno\u00adtizes a bear then tries to hyp\u00adno\u00adtize Bugs, only to be hyp\u00adno\u00adtized in return. Bugs turns the tables on him by com\u00admand\u00ading him to be a rab\u00adbit, but, when turn\u00ading the tables, Bugs dis\u00adcov\u00aders that the tables can be turned in both directions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Descrip\u00adtion:<\/em> Armed with a book on hyp\u00adno\u00adsis, Elmer Fudd first encoun\u00adters and hyp\u00adno\u00adtized a bear into becom\u00ading a canary, then chas\u00ades Bugs, try\u00ading to hyp\u00adno\u00adtize him. Final\u00adly, Bugs relents, or seems to, and as Elmer tries to hyp\u00adno\u00adtize him (light\u00adning bolts from their eyes com\u00adbined with crack\u00adling sounds) Bugs turns the tables and hyp\u00adno\u00adtizes Elmer. That\u2019s where things start to go wrong for Bugs. Bugs com\u00admands Elmer to be a rab\u00adbit, and Elmer pro\u00adceeds to pull every fun\u00adny stunt and gag Bugs ever pulled on him. Final\u00adly, Bugs has enough and has a hyp\u00adnot\u00adic stare\u00addown in his rab\u00adbit hole. Elmer emerges, ter\u00adri\u00adfied, and runs off. Bugs then emerges, gloat\u00ading over the fact that Elmer thought he could hyp\u00adno\u00adtize Bugs, but then sud\u00adden\u00adly looks at his watch and leaps into the air, claim\u00ading he\u2019s a B\u201119 due at the air\u00adport. So what was that about Elmer not being able to hyp\u00adno\u00adtize him?<\/p>\n

Com\u00admen\u00adtary:<\/em> It is a car\u00addi\u00adnal rule in car\u00adtoons: you can get away with any\u00adthing<\/em> as long as its fun\u00adny. (Para\u00adphrased from \u201cWho Framed Roger Rab\u00adbit?\u201d<\/em>.) The reverse is also true: you can nev\u00ader<\/em> suc\u00adceed at any\u00adthing if its not fun\u00adny. Elmer is always the straight man in these car\u00adtoons and nev\u00ader gets to do any\u00adthing fun\u00adny, so he\u2019s always, ulti\u00admate\u00adly a fail\u00adure, where\u00adas Bugs gets all of the laughs, so he always suc\u00adceeds. But this time, the tables are turned and their roles are reversed: Elmer is doing to Bugs every\u00adthing Bugs would do to him, and its fun\u00adny and it dri\u00adves Bugs crazy.<\/p>\n

Rec\u00adom\u00admen\u00adda\u00adtion:<\/em> Rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded if only for how sil\u00adly the car\u00adtoon stereo\u00adtyp\u00ading is here, but its also rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded just to see Bugs get a taste of his own med\u00adi\u00adcine for once.<\/p>\n
