As he cries, his feet pop out of the ground when Bugs can see them, then feels them, he laughs with relief and then suggests he knew all along that he was fine. Thinking he is dead, Bugs begins to sob ("Gruesome, isn't it?", he briefly confides to the audience in a Jerry Colonna-like aside). They all come to land around his top half, making it appear that the remains are his. There is the skeleton of a dead animal resting on the ground and, as Bugs' bottom half is actually driven into the earth, he disturbs the bones and the wildflowers around them. Bugs tickles the buzzard with one of his own tail feathers, resulting in Bugs being released and falling. Beaky manages to grab Bugs in his talons and swoops away. Beaky comes looking for Bugs when he suddenly jumps out from behind the rocks and fiddles with his Adam's Apple to try and annoy him.Īfter some heckling and trickery from Bugs, a chase ensues. As a result, Beaky goes all gibberish and embarrassed with a red face going, "Oh no no, oh no." Bugs then proceeds to smack Beaky's bottom with the towel wrapped around him, then as soon as Beaky reaches the ground, Bugs hides behind the rocks. Bugs, (disguised as a girl) then pops out of his rabbit hole and says, "You naughty naughty boy." in a feminine voice. Beaky stares at the Fourth wall when he says the line, "I think he's-a-tricking me." Then Beaky pulls Bugs out of his rabbit hole. Bugs rises out of his hole and says his catchphrase, "What's up, doc?" Beaky then says, to the tune of Blues in the Night, "My mama done told me, bring home something for dinner." Bugs asks Beaky what he is having for dinner, then Beaky grabs Bugs' shoulders and says, "It's a rabbit." Bugs agrees to come along as soon as he “tidies up” and heads back into his rabbit hole to have a shower. Bugs makes like an air-traffic controller and "guides" Beaky down, purposely causing him to crash.īeaky then passes out while landing on the ground, unable to move or speak. Beaky spots Bugs Bunny and, after sneaking around some clouds 'stalking' his prey, soars down to catch him. Against his will, his mother kicks him out of the nest with instructions to at least catch a rabbit. This is Beaky Buzzard (Killer) who is shy, easily embarrassed, and a little on the slow side. Three of them take off like jets from an aircraft carrier. The cartoon begins with a mother buzzard instructing her children to go out and catch something for dinner. ![]() The title is a Brooklyn-accented way of saying "gets the bird", which can refer to an obscene gesture, or as simply the " Bronx cheer" in this case, it is also used metaphorically, as Bugs "gets" the bird (a buzzard) by playing a trick. It marks the first appearance of Beaky Buzzard in a Warner Bros. ![]() Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid is a 1942 Merrie Melodies cartoon, directed by Bob Clampett, produced by Leon Schlesinger, and released to theatres by Warner Bros.
