OMG!!!!!!!! They actually managed to stick in a nearly nude scene! Yes, it's just one scene, but it's always amazing what they sneaked into these cartoons (hell, Porky Pig walked around half naked). Bob Clampett's "Buckaroo Bugs" casts Bugs Bunny as an Old West bandit pursued by witless lawman Red Hot Ryder. Guess who always comes out on top! I have to admit that I really only know about 1940s westerns through spoofs like this one, as westerns are one of my least favorite movie genres. Heck, I usually know parodies ("Airplane!" and "Weird Al" Yankovic's songs) before knowing the original; sometimes I see the parody without evening knowing that it spoofs something (often I see something on "The Simpsons", and then find out a few years later that it spoofed something). I can't tell you how many times when I was little that I watched Warner Bros. cartoons and naively laughed at them, only to later find out that they were parodies of movies or radio shows (which made them funnier).
But anyway, this is a hilarious cartoon. Another masterpiece from Bob Clampett.
