00:00I really have to go back to Tex Avery's A Wild Air, which finally crystallized who that

00:10character was.

00:12The character isn't going to run in a crazy panic away from a hunter with a gun.

00:17He's going to play mind games with him.

00:20What's up, Doc?

00:23There's a wabbit, Doc.

00:27What's up, Doc?

00:29There's a wabbit down there.

00:31What's up, Doc? was a very common phrase in Texas at the time, and Tex Avery was from

00:38Texas, hence the nickname Tex, and so Tex was the one who actually brought that.

00:44As Bugs developed, especially with Mel Blanc's acting, he became a much richer, more subtle

00:52character.

00:53Originally, it was very...

00:56All right, Doc.

00:57What you talking about there?

00:59Yeah.

01:00It shaped a little more into that, what Mel would often say, the Brooklyn and the Bronx.

01:05That Bronx accent really made the grade.

01:09It told you who this character was, why he was so street smart, why he was going to one

01:14up you.

01:15I think it is a sort of a Brooklyn.

01:18Yeah, what's up, Doc?

01:20I think what Mel did was a sort of a Bronx.

01:24What's up, Doc?

01:25A New York, Upper East Coast.

01:28Don't tell me, I know.

01:31What's up, Doc?

01:32Rabbits.

01:33Street hoodlum.

01:35Without the hoodlum.

01:37I don't know of anyone who has that accent, other than Bugs Bunny, of course.

01:43Bugs Bunny without the voice would have been fine, would have been an okay cartoon character,

01:47but with the voice, he became so three-dimensional, almost four-dimensional, that you had to love him.
