P: Elmer 'n' Bugs

E: That Schoolhouse Rock about pronouns

Ted Hobgood said...

Correct on both counts.

And the Connection?

RWH said...

Dude, I got nothin'. Could it be simply the alliteration of "Albert Andreas Armadillo" and "Bugs Bunny"?

Ted Hobgood said...

No, not alliteration...do a little Googling, and it should pop into view.

Lisa P said...

The pleb is not Elmer and Bugs, it's Daffy and Bugs trying to outwit Elmer.[\nitpicking]

Otherwise, I have no clue.

Also, I love the word abecederian.

Lisa is correct, actually. The "Duck Season! Rabbit Season!" exchange is between Daffy and Bugs as opposed to Elmer and Bugs.

Connection: As Ray stated, the Schoolhouse Rock in question (entitled "Rufus Xavier Sasparilla") is about pronouns. One of the famous lines from the Duck Season/Rabbit Season trilogy of cartoons is Daffy saying "pronoun trouble".

From Wikipedia:
Daffy Duck: [re-animated] Hah! That’s it! Hold it right there! [to audience] Pronoun trouble. [to Bugs] It's not "he doesn't have to shoot you now", it's "he doesn't have to shoot me now"
[Pause]
Daffy: [angrily] Well, I say he does have to shoot me now!! [to Elmer] So shoot me now!
[Elmer shoots Daffy again]
