In their heyday, the Warner Bros. animation department poked fun at the era's TV shows. One example was Friz Freleng's "This Is a Life?". As always, Bugs is the clever character, with Daffy envying him and plotting to harm him. An unusual twist is that we get both Elmer Fudd AND Yosemite Sam, both showing clips of times that Bugs got the better of them (Sam's misfortune was the especially funny one). And then of course there's the final gag involving a time bomb.* We could be cynical and note that they used footage from previous cartoons, and say that we in the 21st century won't get the cartoon's overall reference. Even so, the cartoon's aim is to be funny and it fully succeeds in that respect.

*I get the feeling that nowadays a movie studio might be less sanguine about making explosives look funny.
